What gives a religion the right to claim their fantasy is correct and the rest false?

Let's not forget the infinite number of possible future denominations of an infinite number of possible religions.

Yeah, you just happened to be born into the right one. Good job! Way to beat the system

Think what kind of small minded petty twatmonkey "god" would actually judge anyone based on which religion they are in.

In the Christian orbit, I don't think mathematically it's possible for an infinite number of schisms, even if there were an infinite number of quarrelsome, bickering and divisive Christians.    

And my reasoning would be, there are what, 3/4 of a million words in the bible m/l.  So, being generous, and assuming the bickering followers of Christ were really into schisming, there would be, in my view, the factorial of 3/4 million, to the power of 3/4 of a million.

Now granted, that is a REALLY big number, just writing it down is going to take more surface area than exists on the earth's surface even if you write really really tiny.  But it's not infinite.


Now as to whether or not the body of Christ could be divvied up into that many pieces and still be taken seriously, well, we're at 70,000 give or take now, and yeah, He's getting a little beat up, but He'll get his second wind and be fine.

Oh yeah, good point You'd have thought 40,000 contradictory versions of the same religion would be enough to discredit the whole thing by now. I wonder what number it has to reach before people start to worry?
