Religion. A matter of geography?

It's certainly true that where people live drastically influences their religious beliefs. To say then however, that because of that, the belief is false, is simply the genetic fallacy.

Stubs is correct; it is a fallacy. I'm sure more people who live in Oxford, England, believe in Darwin's theory of Evolution than peope in Oxford, Missouri. What bearing does this have on the theory itself? Nothing.

I don't think that's what he's saying. Rather, the foundation of their belief is false. They don't believe in their religion because they have good reason to think it's true, they believe because their family and society does.

It's still a bad argument.

This is correct. Religion has nothing to do with revealing the Truth so it doesn't matter what religion one of God's people gets involved with.

We saints get taken out of our religious mindset before we're born again into the knowledge of God (Christ). Christ teaches us that all religions of man are false in this false world of false gods.

Is there anyway you can bring forward your shooting yourself in the head? The world would be a better place earlier if you could. Thanks.

God's delusion is quite strong for those who can't see it.

No of course not "_" , just thought this is the name you gave to your penta-god.

Blaspheme! I did call our foetus Goa'uld though, but now that name would be inappropriate and honestly quite malicious.

Ok, at least I will not need to memorise it.

The word religion basically means the belief system of a group of individuals. Your group of believers does not have a set of beliefs?

So, the beliefs of human beings are false. What are you a frog?

So, we live in a false world. The sun is not real; the stars are not real; you're not real, and I'm not real. Everything is just a figment of the imagination.... Wait.... The imagination abides in the unreal universe. Does that mean it's not real, either?
