Fine, now turn it around. Suppose you wonder in a crowded park (picture the area of the prophets from Monty Python's Life of Brian). Several people scream and gesticulate from raised platforms about their beliefs in the supernatural, the only means to your salvation (you know, your devotion and your money), and each in turn condemns you to Hell unless you pay homage. Of course, each one has a different belief, each condemns you to a different Hell, and none offer any evidence but the sound of their own voice.

Do you:
a) stop at the first one you encounter and devote your life to him, being careful to never listen to the rest of them,
b) pick one after listening to them all and then devote your life to him,
c) decide you like this whole "religion" scheme and build your own platform to attract followers,
d) have a picnic and watch them all with a proper and profound sense of humor?

Chuckle.

I'm pretty confident I'd do the last (d). Or, go to a quieter place, maybe go fishing.

But then if I found that instead of requiring my attention and money, someone was humbly relating helpful hints that are touching as well as practical for me and lunch to boot, and more lunch from each basket than a basket could hold, I think I'd pay attention to all that.
