Can you prove that they haven't received direct heavenly instruction telling them to behave the way they do? If you can't accept the faith-claims of others, why should you expect anybody to accept your own?

Yes I can, as per the bible 'all faith claims' should coinside with Scripture. If at any point a 'faith claim' contradicts scripture then the claim whether it be from a well respected prophet of angel of God, can not come from God.

And if you weren't so fucking picky about what in the scriptures count as being in the scriptures and what does not, you might have a point. But you don't accept all of the scripture as being applicable to you, don't you? You discount the old testament out of convenience, citing the passages that support your argument in the new while ignoring those that contradict you. You interpret all the least appealing, nastiest passages of the new, often to be in conflict with the literal word on the page, and that would be fine too Drich, absolutely fine...

Except you never once support your interpretations with evidence that they were the intentions of the original author. You just say that that's what scripture means, because you said so, and that's always been the end of the conversation. If you want to make the claim that only scripturally accurate actions "count" as christian, then fine, I could see that.

But how the fuck are we supposed to tell the difference between the scripture and just "what Drich wants," when you won't bother supporting your claims at all?
