"I find that sort of argument unimpressive. What creed isn't good if you look only at original intent?"

Good point. But in fact that is the case. The religions of the world are quite fair in that they account for the good in humanity as well as the bad. The qualifiers of hypocracy, greed, corruption, etc are as present in the scriptures as they are among the critics of religion. Being a scholar of religion is no more likely to lead one to righteousness than being born with a mental disability.

Your point is that if a religion is true, then the community of members would all be saints?
