It’s in my Alternative Religion section.

In my estimation ALL religions, after the ‘facts’ about them are proven, have things inherent in them that MUST be taken on faith.

Whether it’s the FSM or Jesus raising from grave, it’s the unproveable things that one has to have faith in to achieve the final reward promised by the god(s) of the religion.

If people want to ‘believe’ the words and writings of Mormon prophets, or celebrate Festivus or Kwanza - then it’s on them.

Likewise if people want to ‘believe’ the words and writings of CHRISTIANS down thru the ages - then they will receive the reward promised to them.

None of what is written seems wise, prudent or the desire of our Creator. He has provided his Spirit whereby man might know the truth of all things. Seek and ye shall find, knock and it shall be opened unto you, ask and ye shall receive. These are not idle words.

There is simply nothing that has not already been proven to man, through scripture and history should he choose to open mind and heart to what literally stares him in the face.

...but then of course there is effort required as in be not only hearers of the word but doers also. Perhaps that is where the grain of mustard seed is necessary to start the process.
