OT <Nothing of the sort went through my mind.>
Then I apologize and retract it.

Among the 3 monotheisms, I find Christianity the most appealing, when it focusses on the actual words of Christ. If the message and practice of Christianity was nothing but the Sermon On the Mount, I would be a Christian. But most Christians, and Christian institutions, seem to guide their beliefs more by the Old Testament, or Paul, or the later accretions when the Church was co-opted to serve the Roman, British, Spanish, American Empires.
And a lot of Christians seem to be closet Diana worshippers, glorifying the Goddess with the spear, shield, and helmet. Combine her aspects as Goddess of Knowledge and War, and that's exactly what modern America worships, Science in the service of Force, with the 4th Infantry Division's NetWar as the result. |
