This area is open for nontheists and theists to interact on issues of theism and faith in a civilized manner. We ask that nontheist participation respect the theistic views of others and not seek to undermine theism in general, or advocate for nontheism. Such posts are more suited for and allowable in Apologetics 301 with very little restriction.

Your blindingly obvious long-standing hostility to Jesus the god/man puts the lie to your assertion. "Grain of salt"? You're reading lately an awful lot like a closet Christian/conservative pretending to be otherwise in order to make the opposition look bad.Veritas vos Liberabit<>< Learn Greek <>< Look here for an Orthodox Church in America<><Ancient Faith Radio
