People indulge in such imagined fantasies all the time. How else can dogma morph into "absolute truth"?
LOL!
A common trait of atheists.
Some people can be absolutely "certain" about uncertain things...It's really easy: if you believe that just because you believe something makes it true then there is no problem. Narcissism, JCB, solipsistic narcissism.
Well both James and kosta seem to behave as some modern day liberal lawyer types ~ iow it all depends upon the meaning of ‘is’ as some other such nonsense.
The Bible and Gospel message is meant to be interpreted at the basic and simplest level allowing as many as possible to come to saving faith but I dare say just as Jesus Christ belittled the ruling class then, even today the scholarly and legal intelligent types continue to pick over the smallest nits while holding a death-grip over their sinful pride.
