Tell that to the fundementalists who claim there is no other life in the universe because God created it ONLY on earth.

I don't care about it because I think all "Religions" are wrong. Too many different beliefs between good honest people who are absolutely, positively convinced that theirs is the one true faith.

At most, the problem is with people reading into Scripture what isn't there, which is a fundamentalist no-no. So what you said would kill fundamentalist Christianity will actually do nothing more than reconfirm one of it's main principles against imperfections introduced by some followers.

Looks like I win.

Really? I'm stunned.

Too many different beliefs between good honest people who are absolutely, positively convinced that theirs is the one true faith.

The New Testament says in several places that most people are going to Hell. So a non-Christian majority is exactly what you'd expect if Christianity is true.

Besides, atheism and agnosticism are beliefs about religious matters too, so your argument collapses in on itself.

Certainly religion has to be one of the most polluted, misdirected, even demonic institutions ever devised.

But just becasuse human critters have a seemingly infinite capacity to mangle the simple idea of relating to God into a hideous, destructive collection of control freaks--just because that's persistently routinely true

dot NOT say or do anything about authentic RELATIONSHIP with God--begun by God reaching down in Christ; concluded by our agreeing to partake of Christ lifting us up to God clothed in the Righteousness of His Blood, Love and Spirit.
