And then there was one / Historian examines the bloody clash between paganism and monotheism

My duties as a religion writer forced me to watch Mel Gibson's Jesus movie, "The Passion of the Christ," two times in three days, an assignment that also interrupted my reading of "God Against the Gods: The History of the War Between Monotheism and Polytheism."

"But of course, some who assume their beliefs to be infallible, could be said to reject the concept of a boat for all hands.."

Nice attempt to condemn. There is a religious wars going all over this world, so who do you presume will be the captian of the "concept of a boat for all hands.."

"Yea verily. -- Those of little faith must condemn the beliefs of others to puff up their own ego.."

Really, you have the ability to measure "faith".

Funny you accuse, "little faith", condemning, and puffing up ego, all because I quote the Bible.

Personally, I believe every individual has the right to believe whatever they choose.

I do not believe anyone can be forced to make another see or hear anything. Of course I am entitled to my own opinion. In my faith and belief Christ is WHOM He said He was, is, and will be.

You see a condemnation.. I see an observation on human assumptions.

Your monotheistic God? -- Suit yourself, pilgrim..

Nope, -- it's just another opinion on egotists.

Funny you accuse, "little faith", condemning, and puffing up ego, all because I quote the Bible.

I did? -- Now that's quite a mind reading ability you're displaying..

Yea, verily...
