What are some common methods that the religions teach for stifling inquiry into their propositions? And what would you say are some good ways of dealing with them? A large portion of these religious teachings seem to be equipping the believer with a Swiss Army knife of thought stopping memes.
They commonly take advantage of the ambiguous multiplicity of the term "god." It helps them avoid the absurdities of the specific Yahweh character. Sometimes they use that multiplicity to ask you to make a statement regarding all potential god characters, when all you really need to do is make a statement about their Yahweh character. Often the potential for inquiry is shrouded in ambiguous terms. It's more difficult to inquire into a huge category of characters, many members of which have never even been proposed to us. But much easier to inquire into the Yahweh character and it's proposed attributes specifically.
