I find it fascinating that we've seen such a surge in Manicheanism in the evangelical church.

Orthodox Christianity rejected it as a heresy 1700 years ago.

It was a Persian idea - influenced by Zoroastrianism - and it is in direct conflict with the fundamental principles of Christianity.

Are you getting paid extra for using big (i.e., pretentious) words?

Just wondering...

Paid extra for the big words? No.

But I always find it amazing that people who spend so much of their time studying the Bible know so little about Christianity.

The idea that the earth is a battleground between good and evil, with God on one side and Satan on the other, is not a Christian one - it is a pagan idea that Christianity rejected long ago.

Harry Potter may have paganist undertones, but the anti-witchcraft rants have paganist undertones as well.
