What is your motive for defending a book that is not part of scripture?

"America is a Christian Nation" started me down this road. Christians want to claim the moral high ground and if I'm going to be subject to Christian dogma I want to know everything I can about that dogma. I am not defending Thomas. I am not a Christian. I have lived and worked in the Holy Land. I have an interest in and am familiar with the history and cultural anthropology of the region.

Are you wiser than all Christians before you?

No. Are you wiser than all Gnostics before you?

Is your purpose to discredit Christianity and the gospels?

No. I have given you an opportunity to enlighten me. All you can reference are the writings of various evangelical Christian book sellers. Not a scientist, archeologist or historian in the bunch.

I did not reference any Dag Hammadi papyri, yet you try to refute my reference by assuming I would not know the difference. Not very honest of you I must say!

So you are a anti-Christian troll. Evidently you are not very familiar with Christian history or the New Testament. Your position has been weighed in the balance on this thread and found WANTING. YOu can't even get your basic facts straight. Did you thing you were going to out-debate people who know more about the NT history than you do? Why don't you just get lost and go spout your dribble in a thread where more gullible people might just believe your tripe.

America was founded as a Christian nation. It is only recentlly that anti-Christian bigots like you are trying to erase God from the public square and classsroom, and teach a FALSE history based on revisionist lies. Dont' even go there pal - I have a degree in U.S. History. I'll paste you to the wall.
