Absolutely ridiculous! Did you read that looney bit in Tinfoil Christianity Monthly?

How do we know that the books in the Bible today are all divinely inspired Scripture, and who got to make that decision?
And -- more importantly -- by what authority did they decide?

The Emperor Constantine in fact made the decision, at a time when he was not even baptized into the faith.
His authority was the combined legions of the Roman Empire.

Actually it is in "Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire" by Gibbon.
