[Zionist Conspirator]

You know, of course, you just screwed up my holiday. Now I have to down load your post and deconstruct it and look at my commentaries to see if it's so. I guess the gardens will have to wait for another weekend. Is it possible to get a note from you for my wife so that she can see that I have to study this holiday in order to respond to your post?

Thanks for the compliment, but unfortunately you will agree with my final position no more than the Catholics here.

I'm not endorsing Fundamentalist Protestantism as the true religion, or even the true version of chr*stianity (it certainly lacks historical authenticity, having no roots in the ancient chr*stian past). What I'm trying to do is to get the Catholics here to stop being so smug and superior and see that you folks are human beings just like the American Indians whose native religion they have no problem with incorporating into Catholicism (totem poles don't contradict chr*stianity but Adam and Eve do???). I understand that to you scriptural quotations prove or disprove everything, and that's fine. But it allows your critics to dismiss you as "ignorant bigots with the IQ of a light bulb." I'm trying to show that even without traditional Protestant proof texts Catholic/Orthodox arguments are full of intellectual difficulties. Whether or not they choose to see this I don't know, but they can't say all I did was quote verses from "their bible" out of context!

Totem poles are idols. Adam and Eve don't contradict Christianity.

It is best to lead by example. (;
