A couple of thoughts. First, you did have an agenda, even if you weren't trying to push it, and I think you have shown it here. Second, The unwritten version of Christianity, as you describe it, could still be described in Hellenic terms, could it not? The apostasy was from practice and doctrine (IMO), but not from expression of same, per se. I rather enjoyed the readings from the links you and Arch posted and I see little in there that disturbs me in my faith. In fact, I quite like some of the concepts I encounter there and see nothing wrong with them, be they from Greece or elsewhere. To be honest, I have never really paid attention to FARMS, and so I may be missing the boat, but I just don't see what the problem here is supposed to be.

I kind of like the cartoon on Loflin's home page.

His photo made me wonder what that joker could know. I've seen some fun articles linked on JSTOR but don't wish to pay for them.

If Dan holds that position, then I disagree with him. I don't read the languages like he does and will defer to his knowledge of the ancient languages, but I can read what a bunch of non-denominational scholars have written in English and completely disagree with his characterization based on those readings. I still don't believe all of those guys there believe that and maybe Dan if he thought about it or if one spoke with him, might give a more nuanced opinion. I don't know as I won't defend that opinion. I hadn't read that article as I usually don't do FARMS. I'm not certain what to make of his conclusions, as it is not as sloppy as Robinson's conclusions were. I don't know what to think of this quote: Quote:
