No, your tolerance of beliefs.
Plus your obvious education on things such as this.
three things:
1) People misquote things in the name of their
religion all the time (see genius' comment that
Jesus wasn't human).
2) The idea that the Infinite can be summarized
in any one text is paradoxically absurd to me.
3) 'Truth' and 'Inspiration' can come from a variety
of sources. Anything which allows me to be a better
person is 'Truth' and 'Inspired.'

I'd say 16 would be the most that person could
reasonably hold down and have a reasonable sounding
chord.
