I only post very rarely and that’s to do what I did there. Hit with a massive amount of undebatable fact. I used to debate for fun in college. It’s not one of my more redeeming qualities as a result š

Did you investigate his journal? He just screams troll, and I’m surprised only one individual picked up on that. That aside, the article itself is interesting (I would have said astonishing, but this is America after all) and worthy of serious discussion. A tad off-topic, the unfortunate thing is that I know a great number of wonderful Christians whose overbearing faith is actually more a detriment to their cause of spreading Christianity. Over time, the result has been that my desire to discover more about the mysteries of mainstream religion have been replaced by caution for the pressurising and often frightening Christian desire to convert.

Gay until recently only referred to a happy personality.
Pagan had different connotations in classical Latin…though I doubt it applied to Christians, since it usually referred to unreconstructed barbarians outside the gates of the coloniae, who kept to their original religious form rather than adopting Romanized customs.
