Nary a one. But it's clear GIA watches too many.
You Tube is the new Boob Tube.

So we all pretty much agree.
Are religions manmade and natural or supernaturally based?
We have two camps: one thinks all religions are man-made and natural; the other thinks 99.x% of religions are man-made and natural, the x being theirs, which is supernaturally based.
You could say we have broad agreement. The default position is that religions are man-made and natural, and we need something compelling to make us think otherwise.
I've seen lots of scriptural pleading--the very essence of circular logic--but I haven't seen anything compelling in this thread. Did I miss it?
