Unless you are suggesting the overall reference was cherry picked to create bias. Is that what you're doing? If so, I would be happy to delve into it further with you

Derp!

You're inane little tactic of bullying (the same as Drisch), isn't really working for you.
BTW "in saecula saeculorum" means "forever" (as in countless Latin liturgies) ... so what it means is entirely contextual.
Every religion is true one way or another. It is true when understood metaphorically. But when it gets stuck in its own metaphors, interpreting them as facts, then you are in trouble. - Joseph Campbell
