I really like that quote, Thanks! I completely agree with it as well. so you must have meant some Xtians Tongue


Tack,


There is a fascinating little book called On the True Doctrine

http://www.amazon.com/True-Doctrine-Disc...0195041518


Celsus was a Greco-Roman neoplatonist philosopher living in the second century. His work was one of the first by the power-structure to take note of xtians living among them. While the total of his work was destroyed by library-burning xtian thugs in the 4th and 5th centuries we are indebted to a 3d century xtian writer, Origen, who quoted large passages of Celsus in his work Contra Celsus (Against Celsus) in an effort to refute them.

R. Joseph Hoffman has gone through the lengthy Contra Celsus to extract the words of Celsus as recorded by Origen to try to recreate the original work. It is a very interesting read.
