I'll count you in then?

No sorry I need to rationalise first. Why make an exception here? How can I?
You have to choose fr0d0. If you want to use reason to assess a world view you must allow reason to assess christianity. If you want to refrain from reason and instead value belief as a valid and sufficient instrument of assessment, you can believe any world view you like, including Rabbitism. The point is that belief supplies no instrument to compare different beliefs since it requires unconditional acceptance of dogma. And acceptance of dogma from two religions generally leads to severe contradicton. Since you now require reason to assess Rabbitism, but accept belief as a sufficient means to assess christianity you are applying double standards.
