Ron: I think people in the modern era fall prey to a nationalized Christian faith. Few Christians that I personally have run into Seldom read, question or even discuss the Bible or morality. Interestingly enough Platt brought up a great point that has relevance to the political Situation faced today. Hitler nationalized Christianity at the Beginning of his reign. http://www.nobeliefs.com/Hitler1.htm
But you bring up great points about the message of Jesus and I agree, [Krimel] It is the lie of agreement on a particular interpretation of the Bible that is at the root of problem with fundamentalism in Christianity [Ron] We can thank Emperor Constantine. [Krimel] The newsletter of the Jesus Seminar is called the Fourth R and the goal of the organization is to increase religious literacy. As you point out ignorance is rampant in the pews and that suits some just fine. [Ron] How fortunate for leaders that men do not think - Adolf Hitler Moq_Discuss mailing list Listinfo, Unsubscribing etc. http://lists.moqtalk.org/listinfo.cgi/moq_discuss-moqtalk.org Archives: http://lists.moqtalk.org/pipermail/moq_discuss-moqtalk.org/ http://moq.org.uk/pipermail/moq_discuss_archive/
