Lucky for us all Jesus came to make all religion on this planet obsolete..

Unluckily for all of us, a number of competing profits started up with different slogans and different brand names.

Which is why, barring some empirical test for religious truth, it's all about where and when you are born. And into which tribe.

Using your mind to learn how things work, or just trying to be a good person, count for nothing.

Religious truth is partial.. religions are selective..
Science is religious and has its own shamans.. and cargo..

It is possible humans cannot retain all of reality..
Forcing Cargo Cultism.. and shamanism..

The observer problem is very persistent..

Purposeful? Either way, I like it.

Any more I suspect that there are more brown Christian people, black Christian people, and Asian Christian people than there are White Christian people, making whites a minority among Christians. And many of those “other” Christians live in one of 52 countries that murder Christians, or otherwise oppress them, making their number and their commitment all the more remarkable. It’s just my estimate, but until someone can present me with valid and convincing data to the contrary, I think I’ll stick with my estimate, and otherwise also note that the Christian commitment isn’t due to ‘tribal’ influences, since many of those people, including many whites, don’t come from a Christian cultural past.

That blows your little pet aphorism right out of the water. I know you’ll recover, but for now it’s back to the drawing board for you.
