A cursory look around AtheistForums would indicate that a divergence in a thread is quite, quite common. Fact that you chose to reveal information pertaining to your beliefs in greater detail makes it fair game, me thinks.

You are welcome to lecture me though. Wink

Not only in this comment out of place once again, as above, but you are confusing the categories of capacity to trust (the cognitive faculties of the knower) and capacity to be trusted (the reliability of the source of knowledge). [Also, I wasn't aware that goatherders were so notorious, or that the Bible was only written by goatherders, or that the council of Nicea had anything whatsoever to do with the formation of the Biblical text or canon.]

Exactly my point, and nicely evidenced by your previous comment.

How christian of you.

Let me rephrase that simpler:
Why should your system (God) hold any more validity than some monkey's convictions?
