It occurred to me the other day that all religions have to include in their creeds and dogmas some elements of fantasy, irrationality, unprovable assertions or simple nonsense. If they based their teachings on commonsense, reason, rationality and logic we could all belong to the same religion.
I am reminded of an excellent quote by Hugh Laurie as Dr. Gregory House:
