Religion and the new technology

[intaglio]

35. What straw men?

All religious texts are self contradictory, all contain false history, all contain nonsense instead of science; yet all are supposedly divinely inspired. If deities or a deity cannot ensure that the texts relied upon by their followers are reliable then that deity is incompetent. In addition to this is the fact that all major faiths use the threat of punishment to enforce the edicts of the faith. This punishment can be minor, such as reincarnation into a "lower" life form or major, hell. It is these errors in faith that forces the young ministers identified in the OP to use modern technology to search for half convincing counters to the reasonable doubts raised by the informed, whether unbelievers or believers.

You, on the other hand seem to be claiming that the unreliable narration of a faith and its texts are not the foundation of your faith then you are not a member of any faith, you are just making it up as you go along.
