there is something to debate: authority

There is something to debate: Just everybody loud enough, if not words then bombs, feels free to claim authority over religious matters. Even worse they even seem to know the future. I question the authority of all those clerics, all those radicals and politician based on their lack of disagreement on the big questions. I do not see the discussion, the opposed views. That is why I protest whatever they sell as wisdom. Can these people even explain how somebody invented the coffee-machine and how to use it ? Do they know tomorrow's weather ?
