About Which god is God?

Hinduism, Buddhism, Taoism, Islam, Judaism, Christianity, and the New Age Movement have radically different views of God and the hereafter.

This book presents a concise summary of each religion’s core beliefs and, using the rules of evidence, establishes which religious claims are credible. It answers questions such as:

  • Is God real or an illusion?
  • Are there many gods or just one?
  • Are we subject to reincarnation and karmic retribution?
  • Can we communicate with spirit guides in other dimensions?

In Which god is God? – A Lawyer’s Look at God and Religion, Adrian Adams provides an easy to understand guide for those who want to know if God exists and how to separate truth from speculation about our souls and eternity.

Chapter 1. In The Beginning

Why is there something rather than nothing?
-Gottfried Leibniz, mathematician*

Attorney-theologian John Warwick Montgomery observed that inherent to the practice of law is an effort to resolve conflicts, which creates a natural interest in resolving conflicts in religious claims. When it comes to God, there are many claims to investigate. Atheists insist there is no God, Hindus believe in many gods, Jews follow one God, and New Agers imagine themselves to be gods. These claims cannot all be true. Using the principles of legal evidence, we can determine which ones have merit. The first conflict to settle is whether God exists.

Atheists declare there is no evidence of God's existence; therefore, he does not exist. Atheists, however, commit two errors. The first is that absence of evidence is not evidence of absence. The second error is that atheists rely solely on direct evidence. Because God has not been photographed, weighed, or measured, he does not exist. If that is the standard for investigation, then an atheist's mind does not exist since it cannot be photographed, weighed, or measured. Fortunately, there is another form of evidence used by courts to establish truth. It is called circumstantial evidence. Read more...

Do all religions believe in God? Do all paths lead to Heaven? This book provides answers about God and our ultimate destination.

This book grew out of lunchtime discussions I had with a law partner who asked about God’s existence and which religion, if any, could rightfully speak for God. Are there many paths to heaven or only one? Is there karmic retribution with endless cycling of the soul or do we live once and stand before God? Is our soul snuffed out like a candle or is there a heaven and hell? Because the world’s religions make conflicting claims about God, they can’t all be true. We have to ask which ones, if any, are trustworthy?
