Precisely...

The challenge is to filter out the BS from the truth, to discern the intent and effect of a belief or religion.

For example, a universe where the diety says that in dying on behalf of the religion, you get 72 virgins in "heaven" - that is clearly a system based on BS. It doesn't make any sense at all that this is a fundamental structural part of the nature of reality.

Likewise, blowing up trillions of individuals in volcanoes on some other planet to solve an overpopulation problem 75,000,000 years ago... need I go further?

Scientology and Islam prove that anywhere from 200k to 10,000,000, to 1.2 billion people CAN be wrong.

Oh yeah, and I forgot, you have to pay me $200,000 for me to give you a manila folder with this information in it. Don't forget that.

And sign a release saying you won't sue me...

...and keep it secret - keep it safe...

When I go to church, the guy wearing a big dress mumbles a few words and turns wine into blood.

But its cool, because afterwards we play bingo and drink beer.

I love being a catholic.
