People who label and categorize varieties of belief use such numbers, as it's the product of their life's work. It seems like a strange thing to even bicker about, like the numerous discontinuities and inconsistencies of magic book - as...no matter how many christian cults or hilarious fuckups we find in magic book...neither thing speaks to the existence of a god or of peoples reasons for not believing in gods...assuming they even have one.
Apologetics ends up seeming like a series of self inflicted wounds most of the time. Seeking to build credibility, it destroys it, instead.

I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
