I have a question for christians, but it`s valid for every religious person.
Let`s assume you become convinced there has to be a God who watches over everything you do. Before you choose your faith, wouldn`t it be reasonable to research every single belief in the world before choosing?
Seems like a compelling interest might be apparent in pruning the list a bit. There are quite a few, right off the bat, while acknowledging the authority of Scripture, for instance, that aren't particularly pious or regular in comporting themselves accordingly. We could easily note all of them to no longer being in the running for the title of "The One True Faith".
It would certainly speed things up for the 'seekers' if 25,000 to 30,000 of the various and sundry christer schisms could be weeded out.
