I guess what I'm asking is,

1. do we have a right to be critical of them for doing this, and

No

2. should we be afraid to confront this when it is shoved in our face by pagans?

No.


Brother, one thing you need to know about me is that I am often terse or laconic in my posts. This gets me in trouble many times. I am almost never angry or trying to be harsh. So, I was not defending Augustine, I was defending Plato.

I typically do not use smileys, because they seem a bit gay.
If I am being harsh I will use profanity, so don't worry. :bigsmile:
