Comparing waffles to the largest cultural inquiry in human history is not worth my time, apologies.
Please demonstrate that your powers of reasoning are sufficient to dismiss Rhythm's waffle alternative. Please also demonstrate the validity of your grounds for placing (just Christian?) theological considerations on a pedestal owing to your evaluation of the magnitude of cultural inquiry involved. Where are you getting your standards? Do your standards represent a consensus? Your personal evaluation of the relative degree of claim various cultural inquiries merit just isn't worth my time, if that is all they are. So far, that is all you've offered.

Please prove that the rules of human reason are binding on the arena you are making claims about.
After you. What proof can you offer as to why you alone are in a position to judge the extent to which reason may be applied to various claims. I'll wait.
