Greyhavener: this is not the forum for a theological or philosophbical religious debate. I respect your point of view. However, to me, and many others, it is a particular arrogance of Christianity that it assumes that it is the 'ultimate' revelation of the word of God, and that with the coming of Christ the 'Word' is fulfilled, all other preceding religions having simply been precursors. I live in the East and take a totally different view of the development of the human religious experience.

Moreover, irrespective of the truth or otherwise of the Christian or indeed any other faith, attempts by its more extreme fundamentalist proponents to highjack great literature as part of propagandist activity
infuriates me. (I do not allege this of you I might add).
