Not really. Postings which encourage Christian bickering detract from our efforts to build a moral society upon which we can all agree. IMHO, anyway.

A point rejected by the Eastern tradition since this does not incorporate the teachings of other faiths but is drawn solely from Christian teaching. Unless you had a different definition for 'syncretism.'
