re: #23 cenotaphium

Very good video. Really put the finger on the ability of religion to jump between the vague and specific, and the problems with both.

It seems like the basic premise is that Catholic Christianity and Scientology are on equally unsupported ground, given that the belief systems are both built on the unprovable. However, there’s a lot of testable things in most religions. Take the claim by mormons that Joseph Smith found and translated an old papyrus (despite having no knowledge of Egyptian, he was supposedly given this ability by the divine), one that was later found, translated and that had nothing to do with what he’d claimed.

The only religion I’ve ever really emphatized with is the Deist one. “The unmoved mover was a divine entity. The end.” ;)

Yo!
