People like this are always talking about "keeping Christ in Christmas." How about just keeping Christ in Christianity? Christianity: Taking what is equivalent to a grocery list and turning it into a religion. Read A Canticle for Leibowitz sometime. It contains some wry material very much like this. ~David D.G. Don't forget "Focoult's Pendulum" although that is more about the occult the end can easily be applied to Christianity, particularly the epistles

Oh, and if somehow some future generations want to take my posts here as the basis for a religion, remember to take everything I say literally. Even the typos. They are there for a reason that I will tell you after you die.

A hopeless case. The less knowledge they have, the more eager they are to share it.

What makes the nut in the OP's post even better is the emphasis of Paul's teachings...if memeory serves right, didn't Paul hate christ's followers before he 'converted' in the span of a short period from feverently despising of the religion to a complete fundie? And they'll uphold his words over Jesus without question?

Yeah, they follow the teachings of some guy who fell off his horse, hit his head, and went from hating Christians to hating everybody.
Yeah, let's base a religion of love around His teachings!

The entire reason Jesus died on the cross was so people wouldn't have to follow the lists of punishments in OT books such as Leviticus. Well, that's what I was taught anyway.
Or maybe I was just taught from from one of those liberal-pacifist-communist churches.

Now I haven't been Christain for a few years so I might be wrong, but isn't Paul the guy who said that a "woman shall remain silent in the church...for it is forbidden for her to speak?"
I wonder if she agrees with that.
