Ann the following is part of a prologue of a book named, "Who is this KING of GLORY."

The people espousing these idiocies of theology will be above learning but I think it would give you a real comprehension of the origin of religion.

For you and anyone interested you can buy a paperback from Kessingers online the www. For any others I have the book on a 3 1/2 floppy I will be glad post to your web site or an IRC if you use one. I use the undernet Mirc in /dallas to post. Mirc is shareware you can download free from their website.

Coming forth in a day when theology has long been discredited--even in its own ecclesiastical household--and religion itself is threatened with obliteration by rampant forces hostile to it, this information aims to rehabilitate theology and to stabilize true religion. It must be said at the very outset and with blunt insistence that it is for religion and not in any way against it. It is written to establish religion again as the cornerstone of human culture, when civilization has largely turned away from it to seek elsewhere the guiding light. It is designed to redeem Divine Theology from her outcast condition and place her again beside Philosophy and Science on the throne in the kingdom of man's mind.

It needs sharply to be asseverated that the book is for religion because many will pronounce it the most forthright attack on ecclesiastical doctrinism yet presented. It can hardly be denied that it sweeps away almost the entire body of common acceptance of biblical and theological meaning. But it makes no war on anything in religion save the idiocies and falsities that have crept into the general conception of orthodox belief. Finding the chief enemies of true religion were those within her own gates, the book has had to address itself to the ungenerous task of repudiating the whole untenable structure of accredited interpretation in order to erect on the
ground the lovely temple of ancient truth. If theology is to be rescued from its forlorn state of intellectual disrepute into which
not its enemies but its friends have precipitated it through an
unconscionable perversion of its original significance to gross
repulsiveness, the errors and distortions perpetrated upon it by those of its own household must be ruthlessly dismantled. Hence to many the book will seem like a devastating assault on the very citadel of common religious preachment. In the face of all this it must be maintained that the work is written to support and defend religion against all its foes and that it is constructive and not destructive of true religious values at every turn.

I despise the idiotic refutations here but would really like to be a little bug in a corner and watch them try to take a peek but never admit it. They are afraid to look cause they might realize they have been fooled on their brand of truth.

Real truth doesn't object to be questioned.
