The only bonus anyone has offered so far is that the religion is attractive to new members. But they don't actually get anything out of being in it. Wow, God is just too generous.
It doesn't offer any evidence at all that there is any truth to the religion. At least not evidence I'd consider credible. It just show how good people are at converting other people, or how much influence the religion already has. It's a classic appeal to popularity fallacy.
If someone is seriously suggesting that God is granting this power to draw in more followers, but nothing else, then that is a bizarre setup for sure. Sounds like a pyramid scheme. He's making the religion seem attractive, when it actually has nothing to offer. How deceptive.
What are you rambling on about? No one made any of those points. Address people if you want a reply or clarification.
