DICK
Hm. Most curious. What did this prove then and now?
That violence is the solution to logical problems?
How do you KNOW what St. Nick did? Did you observe
this punch which is the only way you could know it
as a fact? Are you over 1500 years old, one of that
generation that shall not pass away yet?
Are you now claiming that Santa Claus was a real live
human being? A historical figure? That there is truth
at the foundation of the myth? If Santy punched this
guy in the mouth, then he must have been real. How do
you KNOW raindeer can't fly?
BRIDEAN
How do you know raindeer (sic) can't fly? Of course you did not read my
post carefully. I did not say that St. Nicolas of Myra WAS Santa Claus
now did I? I am not going to repeat what I ACTUALLY said because you
should be smart enough to read if you are smart enough to be a doctor,
lawyer, ect.
>How can you say that Jesus was no more God than Tod and yet tell
>people that they should learn basic Christianity from the Roman Catholic
>church?
DICK
How? Easy. I just type out the words on my somewhat noisy
keyboard. Basic Christianity must learned from Catholicism
since that was the ONLY Christianity until Martin Luther
started his competing church and then married a nun. The
advanced Christianity about Jesus can come only after the
basic Christianity is understood.
BRIDEAN
No, it wasn't the ONLY Christianity until Martin Luther. There was (and still is)
Orthodoxy, but of course since you have no way of knowing reality you didn't
know that did you? Have you ever heard of Nestorius? The whole history of
Christianity was pretty much one sect versus another from the very beginning.
