[QUOTE]Originally posted by Omega: [QB] Fo2: [i]One must ask, WHERE were the 'Real' Christians? What happened to them? They disappear ENTIRELY from that point in history![/i] Possible. The protestant movement didn't get started for some centuries after the Crusades. People only started thinking for themselves again around the sixteenth or seventeenth century. Of course, the Catholic church had a bad habit of silencing people who disagreed with them, so people who DID think for themselves probably kept quiet about it, and thus weren't recorded. Either way. [i]When a religion loses the entirety of its followers, it dies.[/i] I would disagree. Paganism has made a comeback of late, and it'd been dead, for, what? A millenium or two? [i]Luke 19:26-27, immediately AFTER (and clearly not part of, but relating to, the story) the parable of the master who gives money to his servants.[/i] No, it's part of the parable. Try other translations. Nimrod: [i]No one's asking you to change your views, but you shouldn't have to step in every time you think you have to defend your honour or something.[/i] Oh, yes I do. I don't want people believing lies told about me. I suppose that would qualify as defending my honor, wouldn't it? [i]An adult with confidence in himself can have a man scream in his face that Austria is a continent or Jesus was a fraud or the lunar landing never happened, it wouldn't matter because he knows what HE believes and that's all that matters.[/i] Not quite. It wouldn't matter to the man. However, it MIGHT matter to people within earshot who don't know any better. They might very well believe the falsehoods being shouted if the man doesn't contradict them, might they not? [i]You just let me worry about my eternal soul, okiedokie?[/i] As you wish, Nimmie. Drop me a line if you change your mind, and don't say I didn't try. And don't think that'll stop me from trying with anyone else. [/QB][/QUOTE]
