Who is to say whose religion is the right one?
The Jatravartids of Viltvodle IV believe the universe was created by means of a sneeze by a being called The Great Green Arkleseizure. Can you prove them wrong?

The Great White Handkerchief is coming!
But seriously, who’s to say that there’s only one “right” religion?
What so many people on SW get wrong about religion is that religions aren’t just a series of beliefs or hypotheses about how the world started and how it will end; to be fair, a lot of “fundamentalist”religious leaders don’t seem to get that either. Religions are about what you [i]value[/i] most.
To be more specific, religion is transformation in response to a perceived ultimacy. As humans, we are constantly changing, right? Otherwise we’d be dead. So how are we changing? In response to our perceived ultimacies. Whatever we value most.
Not everyone is spiritual, but all are religious.
