"...based on a ridiculously shallow and incomplete knowledge of scripture, history and Church tradition. ..."

Well.. My views are based on an admitedly incomplete knowledge of scripture, history, and Church tradition. Given a general lack of omniscience on my part, it's all I've got to work with. I suppose I could just find someone who claimed omniscience, and be their follower, or defer my own reason to Intellectual Giants, but that would be disobedient to Word of God.

Those who attempt to interpret scripture on an individual level absent the history, tradition, and basic understanding of the doctrines of the Church almost invariably spin off into abject heresy.

Please be more specific in regards to what you mean by "absent the history, tradition, and basic understand of the doctrines of the Church".

It should not be surprising that you see this in black and white as well. One is either a blithering ignoramous or one is omniscient.

The idea of being reasonably well-informed is just too "mushy middle" for you, huh?
