“Tell me something, Entropy: If you did something tearfully night and day for three years, do you think it’s rather important? So what? We’re just to conclude, “Oh, the man who contributed a good chunk to the New Testament — what does he know about cultural priorities?”
I assume you are talking about the Christian religion. Outside of my own religion, I hold Christianity in the highest esteem. I have great admiration for devout Christians.
One of the other things we look at would be, "Which religions are counterfeiting ours?"
Muslims don't pretend to be Christians; Mormons, on the other hand, covet the Christian brand.
Just as our govt gives high priorities to both security threats and which entities are counterfeiting our currency...so we can address both: Sources of physical harm and the spiritual counterfeiters.
Bah!
Who cares?
What do you think of CHRIST?
