We are the ones exploring the evidence. It was the religious who burnt people at the stake.

How does that work?
I did not see where the poster you are quoting said that. Can you quote her properly, as required by the forum rules and by any measure of engaging with honesty, rather than your inference which is wrong?

It is the logical conclusion based on their response to my post. From my post, how does other religious people experiencing their different gods lead them on a path to that posters different god?

Perhaps if you read what others are responding to so that you can understand the conversation instead of just responding to the last part of the conversation.

I did, and you quoted me quoting that poster.

You not being able to follow a conversation logically does not make me dishonest.

No, my logical inference was correct. Perhaps you meant implication.

So here is the logic (inference), just for you.

My argument is that if some people experience god X, and that is evidence for them that god X exists, then those who experience god Y have that as evidence for god Y. And if god X is said to be the one and only god, then then those experiencing god Y must mean god X can not exist if they are both actually experiencing gods.

Farm fatale (a cool name) disagreed with that, suggesting that those experiences of what must logically be different gods leads somehow to their god.

Hence my question based on my initial premise and farm fatale's response.

There are many paths to the same God. An universal God. There are many manifestations of God, as light, peace, love etc. Each person might have a different idea of God and can reach the goal (of finding God) in a very personal, unique way.

This is just my understanding. You don't have to believe me, if you ("you" in general) don't care about any of this, it's OK.

Take care.

Harry asked two short and simple questiions of farm fatale. If Harry inferred from that post is not questioning to obtain clarification the best action to take? Maybe his inference is totally wrong would not a clarification to coreect him be in the best interest of useful dialogue? And if Harrys inference turned out to be correct based on rhat clarification would you not find then that yours was not?

We all make errors in our postings and in our understanding of other posters. Perhaps you can teach us on how to be able to always be clear in our postings and to always coreectly understand all postd from others? Or wven better, maybe you could ask for clarification from other posters rather than inferring incorrevtly and attacking them.

Anyway I would find answers to Harrys two questions most helpful in understanding the meaning of farm fatale post. I would rather have the comment explained than to assume it meant X if it was supposed to mean Z.

English is his second language.

That is exactly how I understood from your post. People have various vested reasons to twist their own erroneous ideas into it to make a non existent argument. Nothing can be done about it.
Krishna says in the Bhagavat Gita “All who seek me are dear to me. All paths lead to me.” The me is Divinity, one single Oneness.
