        How do you know the canonical catholic interpretation is correct? Because some guy said so? Even if some guy was “officially” entrusted with that task, how do we know he didn’t make mistakes?

        How do we verify any of it?

        How do you know islam is false? Some guy said it’s true. That’s not enough for you anymore?

        What about mormonism? That guy had magic rocks. Is that any more or less ridiculous than a talking bush?
