Straggler writes: This is a bit of a side issue - and I am not even sure I disagree with you on this - but I am intrigued to know how you think someone who thinks they are being honest can be dishonest? Does it ultimately boil down to being dishonest with oneself? Ever been around kids, see how they can get into The Game, to the point that at least for awhile, they are the character? Then there are also the ones that lie to themselves so often they can no longer tell fact from fantasy.

Re: SOURCE vs Content
For them, it might well be reasonable and rational. I would need to know what led them to that conclusion. Are they wrong, deluded? Almost certainly.

Re: SOURCE vs Content
Have you read what I have written? Both can be wrong, deluded and still be reasonable and logical based on what they see as the evidence. Reasonable and logical are unrelated to being correct or being deluded.

Re: SOURCE vs Content
Straggler writes: So how exactly does the Lord of the Rings text differ, in terms of being a valid form of evidence, to the bible? No idea. AbE: That's not quite true. Looking at those two examples there are several very definite differences. The Lord of the Rings is actually a specific tome, written by one author, but there is no such thing as "The Bible", it was written by many unknown authors, then redacted by many unknown redactors, then edited by yet more unknown editors and the contents decided by an unknown number of committees made up of unknown numbers of unknown members. Edited by jar, : add some differences.
