"Rome and the agnostic." -- what is funny is that Kosta is of the Eastern Tradition. If the Western Church helps him in the faith, then why not. After all, the Church believes in reaching out to sinners and those who are outside the faith or who doubt their faith. We are not like the pastors caww spoke about who do not want to reach out to non-believers.

We are not Calvinists believeing in a caste-system

Even other (mainline) Protestants take the same approach, Cronos, which is of course the Christian approach.

These fringe groups, the various freak cults you mention (Unitarians, English-Israelism, OPC, etc.) who are louder than their miserable numbers, are the ones who get their satisfaction by burning someone (an agnostic, atheist, Arminian, Catholic, doesn't matter) for breakfast, lunch, and dinner on a daily basis. To them a debating forum is a sacrificial altar.

Unless they label someone satanic, threaten them with hell, draw blood or flame anyone who disagrees with them their day isn't done. Nietzsche called people, who preach Christianity and love, but hate the whole world, the people or sessentement. How fitting.
