Hi Christine, Guess whose quote this is.

"The national government...will maintain and defend the foundations on which the power of our nation rests. it will offer strong protection to Christianity as the very basis of our collective morality."

and

"Today Christians...stand at the head of (our country)...I pledge that I will never will tie myself to parties who want to destroy Christianity...We want to burn out all the recent immoral developments in literature, in the theater, in the press- in short, we want to burn out the poison of our immorality which has entered into our whole life and culture as a result of liberal excess during the past...(few) years."

Newt? Quail? Pat Robertson? Nah! These are excerpts from Hitler's speeches. More evidence to support Jeff Jacoby's editorial that Naziism arouse because of the lack of religious conviction.

The fragment of Mark is just that, a piece of a copy of Mark's letter that has been dated to the 60s.

The gospels were written as stories, telling the good news of Jesus' coming, are all different, and were embellished and changed to suit different audiences. They were not written as history at all.

Luke and Acts, as Luke informs the reader at the very beginning of his work, was written as a history of the events that had just occurred. Maybe you should read the material through at least once before you 'inform' us as to what it's about.
