Says study. Considering the first rule of pretty much of all them is, "Everyone else is wrong," I'm not surprised.

You can't study people by studying children. Two different things.

Seems entirely valid if the people you're studying have a tendency to act like children. How else would you describe someone who claimed their friend in the sky tells them how to live and watches over them in this life and the next?

Yeah, but other people can argue with me and if I see superior logic in their points, I have the ability to change my tune. It's just a freak happening so rare in occurrence, I generally discount it except as an outlier. For instance, I used to believe the Browns were a wasteland of football offense. Then I watched Gary Barnidge and revised that assessment. They've been upgraded from "wasteland" to "vast expanse of desert shrubs with one oasis."

Aside from "prophets" claiming they've got the double s00p3r seekr1t message from on high, I haven't seen any deities descending to earth to correct the contradictory testaments their most loyal subjects have seen fit to pass off as infallible doctrine.
