The Omnissunt One-
Nothing is objective, beause it all must be perceived through subjective open-ness and then evaluated as such. True, few have had direct experiences with the Virgin Mary, but the Virgin Mary is not what Christianity is all about. It's all about Jesus and His message. And many people have experience with His message.
On Matthew 15;21-28
I have not read that part of the Bible nor have I gotten t the point where I've even read Matthew. I'll let you know what I think of it when I've read it and comparedit to what I know of real life. All of it.
On John 14:6
And that one is true without being exclusivist at all. Figure it out.
I never said Buddhism wasn't a religion, I said Buddhism wasn't a religion without a God.
Cap'n Scarlet-
I'm not talking about how many people follow a certain religion, I'm talking about how many people believe in some form of God or not.
Ace-
It has everything to do with trust. Would you trust a man who, 9 times out of 10, showed that he was delusional and prone to hallucination if he said he had seen a flying purple elephant? Similarly, would you trust a species out of whom 5 billion of 6 billion claimed they had had experiences with God on anything at all? (Assuming, of course, that the claim that God is real is not true and can be proven as such.)
Good luck with the girl, though, dude!
