No. I really know nothing of this in terms of history or anthropology. But from reading a post on this forum some time ago I gathered there was the Niciaeen Creed in the early years of Christianity that dictated the core beliefs that would establish fixed rules of worship. The stumbling block lies in which translation of the early scriptures one whishes to consider; the Greek translation or the Latin. That will tell what you feel is true in this story. Thats the extent of what I know. I'm not arguing here I have no ability to argue this point. I just wonder why people will get up-in-arms over something they should be absolutely contemptuous of if they really believe what they believe.Like water off a ducks back. Thats how I would feel. But I also understand how it would be of interest to a person. Like politics is for me! So I would enjoy to learn of some of the underlying issues revolving around this; but it seems it might be a sore subject to some. I did read a very good article concerning the Gospel Of Thomas in Harpers last year.

Religion isn`t based just on "opinion", but on words of God. Science is a very political in nature. No-one fights a war "in the name of Christ", but the Christian religion is important part of (our) national identity. Through the ages, many (other nations with different religions; and political sistems - comunism) wanted to destroy it (religion and identity) - but failed."I still wonder why if a person really is a true believer he would care a wit about anything anyone else says." Because - theory and words precede to the practice, and the practice was destroyed churches and political/economy terror. And believer isn`t some monach in the trance-state, but citizen in the real world.
