LOL! Good post!

Now, I will admit that I have only read parts of "Urantia". Without remembering details, I know that I decided it was not a priority for my valuable time on the basis of assertions made which were incredible, and generally of the type that relied on credulity rather than acceptable "proof". I must tell you that I do have a curious nature so that over a life-time I have read a lot of bizarre material from the cult to the occult. I have found that the weird and bizarre may generally be discredited and exposed by legitimate inquiry. So although I have not taken the effort to seek out scholarly criticisms of "Urantia" (if indeed, scholars have bothered), I still feel fairly assured (for myself) that such would waste some of my time. On the basis of my experience in such matters I feel rather certain that I could read this stuff thoughtfully and religiously and quickly identify internal inconsistencies which would condemn the matter. However, not having done so, I do not insist that the matter is ludicrous. But if someone wishes to insist it is credible then I will find the time to read the entire history of the matter. And I have little doubt as to what I shall find...
