==Skepticism== ===Argument from inconsistent revelations=== The argument from inconsistent revelations is an argument that aims to show that one cannot choose one religion over another since their revelations are inconsistent with each other and that any two religions cannot both be true.<ref>{{Cite book |last=Dawkins |first=Richard |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=yq1xDpicghkC&pg=PP1 |title=The God Delusion |date=16 January 2008 |publisher=Houghton Mifflin Harcourt |isbn=978-0-547-34866-7 |page=25 |language=en |author-link=Richard Dawkins |access-date=28 March 2021}}</ref> The argument appears, among other places, in [[Voltaire]]'s ''[[Candide]]'' and ''[[Philosophical Dictionary]]''. It is also manifested in [[Denis Diderot]]'s statement in response to [[Pascal's wager]] that, whatever proofs are offered for the existence of God in Christianity or any other religion, "an [[Imam]] can reason the same way".<ref name="Diderot 1746">{{Cite book |last=Diderot |first=Denis |title=Pensées philosophiques |number=LIX |volume=1 |year=1875–77 |editor-last=J. Assézar |page=167 |language=fr |author-link=Denis Diderot |orig-year=1746}}</ref><ref>{{Cite book|chapter-url=https://plato.stanford.edu/entries/pascal-wager/#ObjePascWage|title=Objections to Pascal's Wager |chapter=Pascal's Wager |year=2018 |publisher=Stanford University}}</ref> Also in response to Pascal's wager, [[J. L. Mackie]] said "the church within which alone salvation is to be found is not necessarily the Church of Rome, but perhaps that of the Anabaptists or the Mormons or the Muslim Sunnis or the worshippers of Kali or of Odin".<ref>Mackie, J. L., 1982. ''The Miracle of Theism'', Oxford: Oxford University Press, p. 203</ref>
