Oddbean new post about login | logout I'm not judging your faith, or your specific beliefs. I'm stating a fact about religion. They are all man-made creations based on allegedly divine inspiration. And I say allegedly to account for the possibility that one or more are not divinely inspired. Christianity isn't uniquely put on a pedestal just because it's the religion you follow. I'm not devaluing your faith or your specific beliefs.
I was just pointing out that you are, in fact, making a judgment that all religions, including Christianity, are man-made. How could you know for a fact that Christianity is not divine in origin? What is your evidence?
I didn't say it wasn't divinely inspired. I said that religion is man made based on alleged divine inspiration. I say alleged not to render a judgement, but to be objective as I don't know for a fact that it is. I'm just trying to be as accurate as possible within the bounds of my knowledge. Again, I am not criticizing your or anyone else's religion. Personally, I have a neutral perspective, and I'm careful not to allege knowledge about things that are really the domain of belief (faith).
