Pagan Dark Age
    "Pope Benedict XVI ... will prove a devastating foe to a misnamed Enlightenment culture that has long eyed the Church as the only institution left to neutralize through 'liberal reforms.' The power of his election can be measured in the escalating hysteria in the wake of it: Like clockwork, the elite's fake love and interest in the Church after John Paul II's death has reverted to real hate now they know it's hopeless to try and steer it. One thing animates the hate: The new pope's unwillingness to substitute the ever-changing tenets of modern liberalism for the timeless teachings of Jesus Christ.
    "In every age, but particularly in modern times, a worldly elite ... clangs the gates of hell against the Church, demanding that the Church serve the false philosophies and desires of sinful men instead of the changeless will of Jesus Christ. But the gates of hell have not prevailed. ...
    "Pope Benedict XVI ... faces a Dark Age of Western paganism that now goes by the name of modern liberalism, and he will use a lucid orthodoxy to drive out its many shadows."
    — George Neumayr, writing on "God Is My Pilot," Wednesday in the American Spectator Online at www.spectator.org

Steve, I've noticed that the "skeptics" on this thread have moved from acknowledging Jesus' existence but challenging his Lordship, to challenging Jesus' very existence. That's a sure sign of subjectiveness when it comes to theological debate.

An atheist made the challenge regarding Jesus's existence on a CNN program. Four, nationally known religious figures, a Catholic priest, a Protestant minister, a Rabbi and a Muslim leader, ducked the statement. I think that speaks volumes.

Agreed.

Pointing out where ted makes it up as he goes is good enough for me.

What? This is foolishness... we changed our mind when we found that facts that we took for granted were probably not true. Isn't that the definition of objectivity?
