Question(s) for the Religious

[Bad Writer]

If he was just ranting about some divine entity, and it was made-up (unbeknownst to you), on what grounds would you be able to dispute it?

He's asking what your process is to discern that which is made-up, from that which is divine. What criteria do you have to distinguish TRUE claims of divinity from false ones?

1. I couldn't dispute it on any grounds. I couldn't
believe it either, for the same reason: I know nothing about it.

2. I think that's more you're question. Information is all we have to go on. I found the information persuasive enough to then believe in its truth.

1. If someone is making up a religion, then you're going to have information to go on for it. The example he put forth is pretty shallow, but I'm sure he wasn't out to formulate an entirely new religion just for the sake of his point. What if this made up religion was Mormonism, for argument's sake. What criteria would you use to distinguish its falsehoods from claims of true divinity?

2. I think I covered this in my reply to #1...yeah, I did.
