Yes you can take religion for a test drive.
Thats the beauty of it - its voluntary. Nobody can force you. Nobody can stop you.
And if someone says you have to pay for it then what they are "selling" isnt God

PS - Sorry about the "original brochure" thingy. Noah didnt have one either. Nor did Job. Nor did Abraham. etc etc.
But the reprint has been the most popular published book in human history and it consistently out-ranks books on the NY Times Best Seller list. A Tale of Two Cities has sold an estimated 200 million +
The bible has estimated sales of 100 million - per year.
Books related to the bible are consistently popular also.
No, religion is the sales pitch, the car is what is promised in the brochure...
Lion: would you buy a car based on a salesman's pitch and a hand-me-down, hand-written, translated many times etc description of it? No, you can't go look at it. No, you can't talk to anyone who has been there or seen it. No parts, no pictures. No schematics. You read the description again and it has conflicting information and claims that outright defy the laws of physics. And get this - apparently there are over 30,000 different variations on the brochure! You look at the other brands out there but it doesn't look any better.
People that claim to talk to those that have gone there to see the car turn out to be charlatans and crooks.
And the real clincher for me is how they go on about how popular this car is, like that had value. It sounds like a child's security blanket: there must be something to it because so many believe they are gonna get this car.
An even if it were free - and those dealerships didn't just build themselves - I need to kick the tires on that thing first. But it appears that, despite your eager pitch, there is nothing behind the curtain.
