You cannot be serious. This comment and those of the others are simply ludicrous.

What is truly ludicrous is to judge events of the past as if they happened yesterday in Fresno. If you have no concept of the cultural context in which these things happened, then you will stay in a state of perpetual shock, as you seem to be.

Why don't you respond to what I actually wrote rather than posting such an empty retort?

1. Nothing in my post suggests that I am in shock, perpetual or otherwise.
2. I am well aware of the cultural contexts. (see my last comment in the post)
3. Whatever the context, the fact that there are episodes in the history of Christianity which were shamefully un-Christ-like is not disputed by anyone who is both honest and informed.

If you want to debate me, please respond to the points I have made. I don't play games.
