For #10, he asks someone how they can believe the silliness of one religion but dismiss the silliness of another. No devout person considers his own beliefs to be "silliness," and if they did, there would be no argument here.

I think you've missed the point. He asks how can a devout believer of one religion dismiss as silly, for example, another devout religious man's belief that the Universe was shat out by a cosmic cow, while simultaneously dismissing the sillyness of his own belief that Man was molded from dirt, Woman from his rib, and that a talking snake tricked them into damning all Mankind for eating a piece of fruit.

Wow, you got all that from #10? I better go study some more theology.
