Depends what you mean by religion.
I don't mean anything but the common garden variety understanding of what the word "religion" means in English. You can spin it any way you want, but I'll stand by my statement as is.
I meant that seriously. If by religion you mean the great true mythology through which God reveals himself then there is one and it is not wrong. If by religion you mean what everyone means when they talk about 'their religion' then you are right. Mine is wrong as well. Still ironing it out.
I meant it the way I said I meant it. I don't see mythology and religion as the same thing. I don't believe that God reveals himself through mythology, but that mythology is based on ancient perceptions of God. I don't know what you mean by "there is one and it is not wrong." One religion? You're going nowhere with this argument. We'll just go with what I mean by religion, and that I'm right. Works for me.

Not one religion if you mean what some people believe about God. I meant there is one correct religion and that is to know God. I doubt anyone on Earth has reached the point where their religion has been made perfect through pure knowledge.
I guess you can assume you're right but you might be the subject of some bias in that decision ;)

You may have lost track of the thread of the argument here. I'm not so sure that this "one correct religion and that is to know God," if there be such, has any critics. Does it?

I have no idea.

Actually, I like the standards (been the same since I can remember - white shirt and tie) - but for only one reason. It allows me to fly under the radar rather well. If you're interested in climbing the ladder, then put on the white shirt and tie. If you would just like to go to church then get out of there, put on the pastels and noone bothers you for anything.

Oh, I don't blame TBM's. I know plenty Church members who DON'T feel this way.
I guess that's why I was so shocked when this idiot, who was a self proclaimed TBM reacted this way.
