Actually when Eusebius cut down the number of gospels to 4, (from all the many circulating, by order of the Roman emperor), his criteria for 4 were : "Well, there are 4 winds, and 4 pillars upon which the Earth stands".

There was no criteria, that would, or could be seen as "inspired".
And the councils at which the canon was discussed and formed, (even though it STILL is not completely agreed upon), NEVER ONCE had a VOTE of unanimous consent. The canon was NON-unanimously voted, and formed.
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 ![Popcorn Popcorn](https://atheistforums.org/images/smilies/popcorn.gif)
