For the Believers . . .

A question:

How does one go about demonstrating that one religion is more "true" than another?

How does one prove the "truth" of one's religion without simultaneously doing it damage? By disproving one religion, one also disproves their own, no?

To be certain, such a demonstration would have to be supported by some kind of objective means, correct? Otherwise, it would be whatever you wanted it to be. And if you don't have an objective basis for proof, wouldn't that leave you open to a claim of some sort of relativism—the same kind of claim leveled at atheists who don't have the Judeo-Christian God and the Bible as their moral compass?

My question is simply this: What are stories for?

And I ask this already convinced that all religons are really just stories that people have mythologized and elevated to worship status.

There's probably an answer to be found in evolutionary psychology.
