Well I obviously don't see you as above criticism ;-)

I think the binding of the concept of "above criticism" to the concept of "holy" is an accident of history. At the very least, it's far from necessary, and certainly not something I subscribe to. An excellent discussion/example of this is Douglas Rushkoff's recent book, 'Nothing Sacred', where he argues that Judaism was originally intended to be an evolving system, embracing self-criticism. I don't think he's very kind to paganism in the book, but it's a cracking read.
