So were Democrats really supporters of Jim Crow? I didn't know that, here in England we're led to believe it is the Republicans who are Evil Incarnate. Let's hope they make a similar move away from their zeal for the sacrament of infanticide... As for the odinists ... pff!. The real odinists (my anscestors) converted to the cult of the crucified Jew way, way back in the day.

I'm sure you could trawl through all sorts of literature and find people insulting one another's religion. BIG DEAL! The point is, Christians are open to the reality of supernatural encounters, which they no doubt understand in their own way. If that is the same as *a priori* dismissing it, then you seem to be guilty of the same dismissal of Christianity.

But at least you agree that Christians can accept the reality of supernatural entities outside of their own canon.

Indeed, many early christians believed the gods existed, they just didn't think they were due worship.

I'd steer clear of ketchup. // Who's tynna offend?! Not sure what you think I or the cute mountie are demanding of you. I am just dropping messages, same as you.

Just because they didn't write it down early enough for your satisfaction?

I think that is the level of conviction that montecute is looking for.

Would all of them, at that time, answer a question about what they believed with a definitiveness that would seem accpetable to you? // The apostles were one of those groups, and they did answer such questions definitively, in many cases to the point of death.
