I'd also take issue with the topic.

It's a 'Religion 101' thing. If a given religion did not assert they alone hold absolute, literal, inviolate, complete and perfect truth, then it is a false religion, and they are admitting as much.

If a given faith fails to lay out a case, no matter how specious*, laughable*, absurd*, comical*, contradictory* or just plain nuts*, that they alone have Gods ear, can guaranty Salvation®, can instill happiness and a sense of superiority over all other faiths, they got nothin'.

*Mormonism springs to mind

The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.
