Prothero's exercise is flawed from the outset. The rules determine the outcome: "his students are to invent their own religion." So, they know it's an invention, a game, an untruth. Tell them they may invent their religion or explain the one they have received and believe in and he might get different, truer and more revealing answers. Ah, but is he truly interested in that? Would he dare? Why not, I wonder . . .

Yet another reason why my son will probably attend Belmont this Fall.
"Even so, I can't help but think that priests, rabbis, imams and ministers would do well to engage in interfaith dialogue "
The "D" word: dialogue... I am all for it in a real way, but as suggested here, and most places I see it it seems to equate to comprimise.
One wonders, what is the good professor thinking the aim of a dialogue should be?
Methinks I don't want to know.
FYI: The “the world's missionaries to the Church than the Church's missionaries to the world” quote is found on page 3 of Dinesh D’Souza’s work, What’s So Great About Christianity?
