      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?

          multiple people over the courses of their entire lives studied the Bible, became priests or brothers or sisters and spent years researching interpretations.

          And all of their interpretations are different. How do you know which is true, if any?

          Islam breaks the natural law

          First you need to prove that natural law exists.

          Mormonism deviates from the true church

          Catholicism deviated from the true church, original christianity. Original christianity deviated from the true church, judaism. Judaism deviated from truth itself by pretending magic is real and god exists.

          You don’t know what “true” means. It is not whatever you want it to be.
