> That doesn't seem the central assumption of Anthony here,

Yes, that's my point. It's the interviewer who has this idea that faith should be reliable and that's what I was questioning. Or did you mean the interviewer (Anthony with an h) ? I am a bit confused right now..

Yes I mean the interviewer. Your critique of is argument is based on his use of reliability - I find that tangential. His main assumption is that of a universal truth - faith being unreliable is just what follows. So are you saying that there is no universal truth or that faith is somehow exempt from the search for truth?
