I'm not saying its a smart thing to say under the circumstances.
But anyway you aren't addressing the core idea, just because some people have nonsensical religious beliefs doesn't mean brooks has to. A religion is essentially a conduit for ultimate truth, there can't be multiple sources of ultimate truth, everyone who professes adherence to one religion is doing it to the exclusion of all others. Won't post again on this subject, not out of passive aggressiveness it just isn't going anywhere.
