Are you arguing that there is a Catholic dogma on everything for which opinions might exist? What, pray tell, is the Catholic dogma on which is better, asparagus or broccoli?

It'll be the opposite of whatever the "rednecks" believe.

Yes, and he is likewise able to dictate exact numbers if we are to accept them as literal and absolute truth. It seems highly unlikely that events throughout biblical history constantly happened in neatly rounded figures. Therefore, the question is not what God could do, but rather what he did do. So, we have to ask, did exactly 100,000 footmen die that day? Can we say, as a matter of faith, that we know without a doubt that it couldn't have been 99,999? Or 100,001? Either it is so, or it isn't.

Evidently a G-d who is 100% accurate is a threat to Catholicism.

After all, ZC, you do disregard sola scriptura as a Christian innovation, correct? And, if you take this as true, do you consider Christianity with it's insistence that Jesus Christ is God to be true or not?

That makes no sense whatsoever. Why do people feel the need to constantly make things up to "prove" their point of view? The Church says nothing derogatory about "rednecks" and this article says nothing like what you and others are trying to claim. Who would trust people so completely unreliable? What point is there in trying to tell a Catholic that Catholics believe something they don't? Catholics know what Catholics believe, after all. Do you spend time trying to convince Baptists that they worship moon people and cats?

Can't imagine where you get this either. Catholics don't believe that God is less than 100% accurate, and this article doesn't say anything supporting that. Rounded numbers are not inaccurate unless one suggests that all figures are absolutely literally accurate as printed, and the bible doesn't do that. You apparently do, but the bible doesn't and neither does the Church.
