You know - kinda like the people Jesus was complaining about in his time.<br /><br />A lot of Evangelicals? A few? I can't say. I don't know the territory. They are certainly the loudest. Or maybe they are just the ones I notice.<br /><br />But a lot of the general population has my view. Which is why they get called The American Taliban.M.

But since Protestants celebrate Christmas/Saturnalia and pass over Passover they are party to the same heresies. <br /><br />This review of the book at the bottom of the article pretty well sums up my view. Not exact of course. But pretty close.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.amazon.com/review/R38PLMQB2IXFD9/ref=cm_cr_pr_perm?ie=UTF8&ASIN=141431485X&nodeID=&tag=&linkCode=" rel="nofollow">Pagan Christianity? - a review</a><br /><br />BTW the reviewer says the Reormation reformed nothing.<br /><br />I did meet some Christians once who celebrated Passover.

A lot of protestant denominations used to accuse the Catholics of pagan practices, and so they are somewhat sensitive to accusations of this sort. <br /><br /><br />DavidRavingDavehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07671059573191161552noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8282587.post-58551880759769245072010-11-11T21:17:15.578+00:002010-11-11T21:17:15.578+00:00What science and religion thought impossible has h...What science and religion thought impossible has happened. Hisory now has it's first fully demonstrable proof for faith and it's called the Resurrection! Quoting from a forum review:<br /><br />"Using a synthesis of scriptural material drawn from the Old and New Testaments, the Apocrypha , The Dead Sea Scrolls, The Nag Hammadi Library, and some of the world's great poetry, as in the beginning, it describes and teaches a single moral Law, a single moral principle, a single test of faith, and delivers on the Promise of its own proof; one in which the reality and will of God responds directly to an act of perfect faith with a demonstration of his omnipotence, an individual intervention into the natural world, 'raising' up the man, correcting human nature by a change in natural law, altering biology, consciousness and human ethical perception beyond all natural evolutionary boundaries. Intended to be understood metaphorically, where 'death' and darkness are ignorance and 'Life' and light are knowledge, this personal experience of omnipotent transcendent power and moral purpose is our 'Resurrection', and justification for faith. From here, on a perfectly objective foundation of moral principle, conduct and virtue, true morality and 'Life' begins."<br /><br />Revolutionary stuff for those able to get their head around it?
