I am agreeing with you. A smart guy wont need to be told that.

Originally posted by DoctorScribblesThniking that a MAN is INFALLIBLE, is not a mistake. Its flawed judgement and in that respect that person is stupid.

Most smart people know that the Pope is just a MAN and the head of the Catholic church. Are all heads of churches infallible or just the Pope ?

And I used to believe that Santa's around-the-world-ness was not because of his own virtue, but because of the action of his eight tiny reindeer. In other words, the source of Santa's around-the-world-ness was not some quality of his, but the grace of the foo-foo dust they sprinkled on the reindeer to make them fly with great precision and speed.
Of course, at some point, I put away these silly beliefs that others had simply netted over me.

All Christians believe that the Councils which decided what books were to be in the Bible were similiarly influenced by the Holy Spirit. And that ALL the authors of the NT were inspired in the same way. Thus, the idea is not as outlandish in that context as Protestants make it out to be; it is a logical extension of this type of Christian belief. It's the pot calling the kettle black for other Christians to say how absurd it is, particulary when the doctrine of Biblical inerrancy relies on the same rationale.

So God makes the leaders of big religious groups infallible ! I see.
If you have an argument why that is so ridiculous from a Christian theist point of view, present it. Try to stop misrepresenting it.
