Heh - this is what gets me the most about the religious type. Everyone knows ... but of course they can't all know since they all conflict with one another. I could say that I know the Bible was written by man since that is almost certainly the case, but there is always that slim possibility that I could be wrong, because there is no way to know.

Let's face it - nobody knows. Let's take Christianity for a brief example ;) With all of the fragmentation of the Christian religion (which itself was a fragmentation of Judaism), how could any of the denominations be correct? Clearly none of them have any relationship with god unless he specifically chose one particular sect and decided to guide them in the right direction. Seems a bit odd for him to show favortism like that, doesn't it?
