You're asking ...Good to see you posting again!<br /><br />You're asking a powerfully difficult question in any context, but all the more so for religion. Some religious apologists want us to believe that religion - *their* religion, anyway - offers access to knowledge that we can't get via our senses or reason. But as best I can tell, there's often no way to verify or validate such information. When there is, it's no more likely to prove correct than any comparable non-religious material. Sacred writings are often historically inaccurate, prayer doesn't consistently lead to good decisions, religious teaching on social matters are often contradictory from one tradition to another in what is ostensibly the same religion - the list goes on and on.<br /><br />All good wishes for the new year, and best of luck with this and your subsequent discussions!jackdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15113600776477358833noreply@blogger.com
