<p><P>In order for a religion to &#8220;prove&#8221; itself&#8212;in order for a religion to disprove its competitors&#8212;it must undertake a criticism of other religions. Christianity is not intellectually compatible with Judaism, and vice-versa. Thus, to win converts, Christianity must disprove the claims of Judaism, and vice-versa. And the same is true for Muslims. And Hindus.</p>
<p><P>How, therefore, does any religion disprove another while at the same time proving their own religion?</p>
<p><P>It&#8217;s an absurd conundrum, because every religion suffers from the same critical flaw&#8212;none of them have any proof.</p>
