Yeah. I mean, the bait and switch works if you swap the simplistic concept out for the more complex theistic flavor of the month, but I thought about it more like where, okay, we've got our foot in the door, now we're going to shove all this junk mail through before you can shut it. That way the originally (conditionally or provisionally) accepted premise remains rather than being swapped out, although maybe it just sounds different in my head than how you guys presented it. I would think that would have a different kind of name, maybe one I've heard before, but can't seem to recall what precisely it would be, or maybe it is just what you've already mentioned.
Religions were invented to impress and dupe illiterate, superstitious stone-age peasants. So in this modern, enlightened age of information, what's your excuse? Or are you saying with all your advantages, you were still tricked as easily as those early humans?
