Great people such as Rumi, Saadi, Hafez, Osho, Buddha, Confucius and many others; even famous scientists like Einstein and Newton. Can we say all those god believers, believed in superstition?
Please give reasons for you answer, not yes/no answers. Thank you fellows.
By saying god I actually mean supreme being, not god in semitic religions.
Forgive me, I mean supreme being or supreme soul, not GOD.
That's why I didn't name Muhammad or Jesus, because I meant supreme being as it was portrayed in eastern religions.
 
99% of all the ideas that 99% of the people believed in 99% of history were wrong, so why would I assume I know know better. Putting the name great behind a person's name doesn't increase the accuracy of their ideas. Oh and Buddha and Confucius were a atheists.
 
You can say that. (Remember, "Can" means possessing the capacity to) Whether or not the statement is correct remains to be discovered! Seriously though, I would say that they were not mistaken on their belief in God, simply believing a fallacy, which I believe, does not equate to incorrectness.
 
First: You really need to read a bit more. To say that Buddha, Confucius, Osho etc.. “believed” in god… is so much of an over simplification that it becomes a lie.

Second: Yes, it is quite possible that any and all who believe in God/ a god/ gods/ godlike presences/ pervading communal spirit/ whathaveyou, to be totally and completely faulty.
