All organized religions have one thing in common that destroys them

I would be interested to know where you stand on religion and faith? You did not say and the criteria for accepting the debate was to have a type of faith in a major world religion. Anyway, since the beginning of time, every religion that has a message has one thing in common. A person steps up to the plate and says "God told me to tell you." I will call this from now on by the acronym. GTMTTY. The Bible has spawned many religions itself but let's stick to the 3 big ones, Judaism, Christianity and Islam. If Noah's family had asked him why they should build an ark, Noah simply said GTMTTY. When Moses came down from Mt. Sinai with the commandments and numerous laws, he said GTMTTY. When every Old Testament prophet came forth with a warning or message from God, he started with GTMTTY. When Jesus said he was sent by God and the son of God, his message was GTMTTY. As the Bible reports how the church unfolded, Paul came along and had a completely different message about the law and its importance. How do we know that Paul was hearing from God? He said GTMTTY. In the 4th century, the Roman Catholic church emerged with its Popes claiming all authority of truth. How do we know Popes were speaking for God? They said GTMTTY. The 19th century spawned other Bible based prophets like Charles Russell (Jehovah's Witnesses) and Joseph Smith and Brigham Young. They all said (altogether now) GTMTTY. Jim Jones got a large following in the 1970s who convinced over 900 people to kill themselves. How did he get their attention in the first place? By saying GTMTTY. There is no getting around it. If someone says we know Jesus rose from the dead, that begs the question "how do we know this." Someone might say: "The Bible says so and we know the Bible is the word of God because it says so. Men of God were moved by the Holy Spirit and they wrote down what God led them to write." This is a case of God Told Me To Write This. How do we, as imperfect, finite and faulty human beings, have any way to know what God told anyone to tell us? We don't. Now, I have pointed out the obvious that many men throughout history have said GTMTTY. Many of these men have royally contradicted the other men who have said GTMTTY. If I came to you right now with a message of GTMTTY, would you believe me? What if I said something really interesting and smart that made perfect sense accompanied with GTMTTY? Believe me then? However, what if I told you that you need to go and kill one of your neighbors along with GTMTTY. Believe me then? The fact is that you do not know and you cannot know unless God himself tells you the message. If you were God and you had a perfect message to mankind about righteous living and what it takes to receive eternal life, what makes more sense: 1. You send a prophet, one at a time to convey this message. 2. You reveal to each man, woman and child who ever lived supernaturally in an unmistakeable way so that the message would be completely impossible to misinterpret. No one could possibly claim ignorance or unbelief because it would be plainer than 2 + 2 =4. It would be more obvious than fire being hot or ice being cold. There would not be different religions preaching different messages. There would be no learning process at all. Everyone would know everything there was to know about God and the only responsibility left would be to obey it. Belief would not even be an issue. God could regularly write his message across the sky in every language just to remind everyone that the message was actually coming from him. Ask yourself what would make more sense. Now, ask yourself this: If God were NOT speaking to you and me through "prophets," but there were many who claim he did, what do you think the expected result might be? Do you think it might be close to what we have now? Yes or no. Some might say "But God does things His way." How do you know that? Did someone say to you GTMTTY.
