Thought Provokers - |

| 1. All religions are man-made. People translate their own experiences into "divine revelation," representing their own "insights" as "absolute truth." | ||
| 2. There is a beneficent deity in charge of the universe and all that is in it. | ||
| 3. In Christianity, there is no need for belief in the "Virgin Birth" or the physical resurrection of Jesus. | ||
| 4. The only meaningful test of the value of a religion or philosophy is the degree to which it brings people together in love. To the degree that it promotes elitism, or a sense of "us" versus "them," it is evil. | ||
| 5. Religions tend to resort to the promotion of "magical thinking" (e.g., miracles, nonscientifically supportable declarations, etc.) to appeal to—and hold—their adherents. | ||
