Re: Questions to ask liberal "Christians"
Language, my dear, language . Since when "All My Damn Gods" is Latin ? But I must admit you successfully made me chuckle, which is a good thing.
Do you know the etymology of pagan ? It comes from "pagus", from the Latin language you seem to despise so, and it means "peasant", by opposition to the townspeople who where mostly already christians (and Catholics, mind you). Indeed, the first Christian people among your own ancestors were inhabiting inside cities, because that's where the faith spread easily.
The more you know ...
(and A.M.D.G. means Ad Majorem Dei Gloriam (for God's greater glory). For those who wondered, I prefer not to let a doubt over its meaning)
