Hi Tim,

Well, I won't invite you to come with me on my next pilgramage to Lourdes!  Were talking about something similar, anyway (what about the established ideology of the Emperor Constantine and the instigator of the Crusades and the Inquisition?).

Hi Dick,

Yeah kind of...

The leftwing ones are OK to chat with but I would not like to go on holiday with one...

Have I got the right name for the religion? "Christianity"? The middle eastern originated monotheistic patriarchal one? The syncretic religion that was a dodgy mixture of Judaism, Paganism and Mithraism? Are we talking about the same thing?

Hi Tim,

I'm glad you might not entirely agree with the wit.  Does this mean that you don't think all Christians are all bad -- e.g., "some of my best friends are Christians, but I wouldn't want my daughter to marry one"?

Which wit was it..? who observed something like this...

"The only really good thing about the Liberation theology people and the Christian Marxists was that to a limited extent they were Marxists"

I am not saying I enirely agree with this but it made me laugh. Like I know what he/she means :)

Hi, Dick,

My first full-time position, a leave replacement, was at a Dominican college in the Northeastern U.S. The students were, as a whole considerably more progressive than the faculty. Where I am now, in the Midwest, the reverse is true. We have five full-time sociologists. Almost all of us are Marxists or neo-Marxists, while the students tend to be quite conservative and traditional.

However, I belong to the major interfaith organization in the Kansas City area. As one might expect, most of the active members are progressive. A few are radical. It has turned out to be a superb opportunity to find "common cause" with a number of local religious leaders.
