I was simply responding to your representation of what Freedom of Religion in America had been founded on, as what you reported seemed a little lacking. Personally I am strongly monotheistic in faith.

"the Bible (the real will and command of God)" Or so say those who can't abide other religions claiming the same thing about their teachings. PS: Which version is the "real" one and whose interpretations of it are the correct ones?

Find me something out of the Bible (the real will and command of God) that is the slightest bit tolerant of pagan worship You might like to consider one thing first about the "Bible" and the "Pagans". The oldest known text of the Bible was presevered for you today, as well as the earliest Christians , courtesy of the-----> Civilized Pagans ! ;) It is called the ---->Septuagint...in ancient Greek circa 250BC newadvent.org It is as easy for me to ask you to name one thing that the Bible or any of its prophets including Moses or Joshua of Nazereth said or commanded , that hadn't already been discussed and expounded upon by the Hellenes to greatest lengths . Pagans as Hellenes were not enemies , they were nurturers of thought and preservers as well as givers of richness of texture to your scripture . Their language was extensive , filled with so many words that could encompass all the variety of percieved nuance of meanings and reason....and anything else you might like to dream up. Personally i do believe there was quite a bit of plagiarizing going on by the sanctimonious . Walking on the water is another matter entirely. regards , M
