Validity matters only in the eye of the final Judge - you won't have much of a say. /* ---------- */ I have a lot of say now. If your hypothetical Judge gave me that say, then I would think that my judgement has a lot of value. I must guide my life by principles that I can discern as good and proper. I have no other guide. You started at the same place, and your judgement has lead to you adopt the principles of Christianity, whereas I have chosen to adopt those I can justify to myself. I disgree with your choice or I would have made it, and I'm sure you disagree with mine. But our choices are equally valid, in that they are made by our own \internal/ judgements of validity. So my "say" matters as much as the "historians" and "learned men" you base your "say" on. Only if I find myself in the hands of your vindictive and petty Judge would I have to worry, and I worry about that no more than you worry about encountering Pluto. Ken
