Justin, this was fantastic. I appreciate this article a lot. I was recently listening to Todd Philipps video for his reasons for discounting Christianity after serving in ministry and his number one reason was because of competing religions and how geographic location seems to dictate religious belief. Obviously this is a logical fallacy, but I was trying to think of how one would respond to this argument.

This was helpful: Competing truth claims does not discount the existence of the subject matter. That is an excellent response.

I also appreciate how you mention that the Bible presupposes competing truth claims. Some people seem to think that the gotcha moment is when they make this argument but the existence of competition was already presupposed.

Really appreciate this! I often work with those who are bringing up this point all the time. Always helps to have some additional insight and loving, wise ways to respond.

So many competing religions because, as the lyrics to the Drottnar song "We March" assert, "We love lies; they're easier to deal with."

Great article, particularly loved that the car kept weaving its way in and out! But we must know: prepping to wash the car is not the same as washing it. Did the car get washed!?!?

Hahah fortunately yes. Too funny 😂😂😂!

But unfortunately, it’s somehow already dirty again thanks to the forest sap and dust she drove through.

Thankfully, it’s not as dirty as it was at least so I have some time.
