“No, the argument is totally valid.”


Notice though that your argument is so valid that you have to make an assertion that it is, followed up with what is basically just a repetition of what you said before followed up with chest thumping, without actually replying to anything I said.

“Who is the arbiter? Other humans? Pathetic.”


Why do we even need an arbiter? That’s more your problem, since you, being blinded, are incapable of understanding the scripture for yourself, and so you cannot come to a position unless someone tells you what to think.

Re-read what I wrote. You obviously missed my point.

The people receiving and interpreting “divine” messages and scriptures in opposing ways are all believers themselves, as in people who have faith in that god they call one. They arrive at differing interpretations and feel justified in doing so. The “correct” interpretation thus falling at the mercy of human whim. Who is then right?

Does this make my point any clearer?
