So, bottom line, here is the question on the table: in view of their overheated enthusiasm for rooting out “heretics”
***The etymology of the word “enthusiasm” is enlightening. It comes from the greek “en theos” basically meaning “with God”. It also has a strong hint of inspiration from God. Jesus had a strong inspiration, an overheated enthusiasm, when He was rooting out heretics of His day.
In historical fact, Jesus was the "heretic" -- the "blasphemer" -- of his day, who was being "rooted out" by the Kevmo's and spirited irish's of the time.
Historically, the charge of "heresy", like "blasphemy" was a threat of murder, a spirit clearly seen in Kevmo's own language: "God Damned Heretic", i.e., posts #1,983 & #2,327.
