According to who's authority? Not mine or anyone elses. It was formed by personal dogmatic belief and anything that didn't fit that belief was left out.

How was it not?

Outside opinion as in non-christian. You cannot enter an "outside opinion" within a Christian community without this ridiculousness that you are expressing. I have every right to put in my 2 cents. If its not wanted, I am waiting to be banned from the forum. :)

Well if you want to grow in self awareness and understanding then yeah we all need an outside opinion. ;) If not, then let you be left to your ignorance. :)
