Hinduism is a revealed religion, and so is Manichean Gnosticism (Blessed Augustine of Hippo belonged to that Christian cult before becoming Christian). In fact, the latter was seriously competing with Christianity.
The shaman didn't have God-breathed words
How do you know that? Origen was a superb theologian, and yet he believed the true revelation to be that of Gnostics. They all believed in Christ too, and used the Scripture. What proof do you have that any of the books in the Bible are "God-breathed?" Do they glow in the dark? Do they have a seal of authenticity on them?
Well, then I suppose that by your standards every faith is a revealed faith if its sacred text mentions any sort of "god" as ever saying anything. However, I am not here to argue Hinduism. If you believe that your faith is not objectively any better than Hinduism, then I will leave you to it. :)
FK: "The shaman didn't have God-breathed words."
How do you know that?
Maybe it's just an eyes and ears thing. :) I believe the Bible is unique in that it could not possibly have been produced by men just writing down their personal thoughts. Since we are worlds apart on even that, it is no wonder that there is no argument to you that "God-breathed" actually has any real meaning. Since you DO believe that the Bible was just written down by well meaning men, then how could it be any better to you than any other text which actually WAS just written down by men? :) It can't on its own. That only leaves the Church as a source of truth, with the Bible being a dusty and flawed reference book. I think many people take that approach.
