At its Core, Christianity is a Gay Religion

Most of the evidence used in the few works we do have is patchy second or third hand since any non-Orthodox author I've encountered thus far who have written about it can't actually read Medieval Greek whereas I can and know where to look.

China may be gaining ground but the US is still the top dog, thankfully I don't see that changing soon. Debt is something to be wary of but I don't doubt the US has plenty of plans in reserve.

Can read Medieval Greek! Check you out.

A book about Byzantine Christianity sounds interesting. I don’t know much about byzantine theology, but I know it was supplanted by Constantinople. They just killed everybody who disagreed with them.

Right now, I’m reading the works of Bart Ehrman, which talks about Apocalyptic Judaism and Gnosticism in early and medieval Christianity. Is it possible that Byzantine theology was an offshoot of Apocalyptic Christianity one they realized the end was not as eminent as they’d thought it would be? In this you’re right that Christianity will not die anytime soon. They’re too much like a chameleon.

Are you in Asia?
The god who allows children to be raped out of respect for the free will choice of the rapist, but punishes gay men for engaging in mutually consensual sex couldn't possibly be responsible for an intelligently designed universe.

I may defend your right to free speech, but i won't help you pass out flyers.

Those who can make you believe absurdities, can make you commit atrocities.
