(this doesn't seem valid to me) Quoting something is valid as long as the source of the quote can be indepently verified. The questions that one might have, whether it was really God or anyone else that originally 'commanded' for the texts to be written, is I fear a topic that has been rehashed billions of times on alt.atheism, soc.atheism and similar places. Nothing invalid with Brett's original quote, then. -giorgos I feel like going through the archives and counting references, to find the largest thread ever. This one sure seems like it. Are we going to keep it alive forever (thus, possibly rendering it God-like, in its immortality)?
