They were independently reviewed by the scholars whom I have named, whom you have chosen not to read.
I agree with you that partial sources should not be trusted without criticism.
Quote:What history says about the catholic church of the 1500's makes my suspicion completely founded.
For example? Names, dates, sources, please....

What stink exactly? Names, dates, sources....

Quote:You come into every thread with a religious bias.
Textbook example of the ad hominem logical fallacy. You can't argue your case based on what you imagine I am like. You have to deal with facts.
Thinking people reach their conclusions based on reasons. Logic, evidence, facts, etc.
We have these conversations in order to test our reasons, and allow them to be challenged. (At least, that's why I have them.) Automatically filtering out sources which may challenge our reasons is not how thinking people operate.
You have stated your reasons, but not shown that they are anything more than prejudices. Basically, "religion bad." So I'm asking for something more than assertions without evidence. Names, dates, documents, scholarly sources, etc.
