This raises the question of why those who have become pagan and depraved spiritually and morally (by your standards) in this day and age don't suddenly lose the ability to use a can opener. I mean... crimney, Lakeview'd be like the opening scene of 2001. 1. The headhunters of New Gineau, the Voodo folks in Haite and other such depraved cultures did not get that way in a couple of generations. It took a long time. American pagans are only a few generations from majority Protestant Christian forbears. 2. Pagan cultures didn't invent and produce the cans and can openers. {Note from Adminnemooseus - This topic was closed before Buzsaw had a chance to reply to the replies.

Pagan cultures didn't invent and produce the cans and can openers. The Chinese invented paper money, gun powder, pasta, and the printing press; I'd say those are some substantial accomplishments by a so-called "pagan" culture.

Pagan cultures invented drying, salting/brining, pickling, and fermenting as methods of food preservation.

I'm just curious as to how you could consciously ignore the many cultures that predate the Hebrew without any sense of uneasiness? The Laminator

2. Pagan cultures didn't invent and produce the cans and can openers. Pagans invented coinage, writing, mining, the iron age, the bronze age, boats, mapping, discovered the diameter of the earth, mapped the heavens, invented clothing, domesticated animals, wheat and bread, fermenting, developed corn...

You have yet to show that there were sophisticated cultures prior to the "cave man" so you claim is not supported.

No, but they did invent calculus more than 1400 years before christian culture did. In fact, it was christian culture that erased (ie burned or copied over) these pieces of technology and knowledge.

I'll throw one on the pile as well... ancient Greece? They were pretty much the foundation of modern civilization, and they were polytheists who engaged in quite a bit of homosexuality. This message has been edited by Dan Carroll, 09-16-2004 12:13 PM

You should try and time it so your first kid is born on December 23rd, 2012. That way, if the world ends the day before, no big. If not, yay!
