When you reach the age of reason, will you reject supernatural religion?
Or will you seek a moral religion to replace the immoral one you now follow, if you happen to be Christian or Muslim?
Or will you let your faith hide the truth of the immorality of your God?
Martin Luther.
“Faith must trample under foot all reason, sense, and understanding.”
“Reason is a whore, the greatest enemy that faith has.”

Exactly.
Abraham over 4000 years ago reasoned that idols that could be stolen or broken can not save themselves so how could they save those devoted to or holding them? He understood the sun, moon, stars, wind had further processes in creating themselves as do any figure or form or man. So creation can not be defined by things that have further processes in creating it, thus must be defined by Essence (an intangible).
We today understand everything has a process, so we know nothing is supernatural or miraculous, as those are things either not yet understood or figured out, or a trick of selective recognition or human imagination and nature to exaggerate or lie.
In the ancient times, much of what we know the processes of today would have been considered miracles or supernatural to that age they've yet to comprehend or figure out those processes.
That's why Maggis scams(Benny Hinn types) were prohibited, as they deceived people into thinking tricks were miracles or supernatural. Today we ban things like that Jamaican psychic network for the same reason.
So Abraham in the archaic age was smart enough to ask; if your idol can not save himself, then how can he save his followers?
So in our day when followers of the passed on mythologies and idol cry they are being persecuted, where is that idol to save you?
It can't. When jails are filled with cross tattoos, cross earings & necklaces, the idol has not saved them, nor can that idol make them SHALEM (stable, complete, whole).
