That’d be the ick. Still a cool dude though, lot on the ball. I’d say progressive Catholics are mostly the ones who assume that if you don’t fw the Vatican you don’t fw the Christ and don’t think about it too much. There’s a lotta good people caught up in that mentality.

Can you prove that Christianity isn’t the result of some middle eastern Jew learning about Buddhism on the Silk Road and trying to translate it into middle eastern Jew?

That’s one hell of a game of telephone, then.
