re: #59 LudwigVanQuixote
Try being “the scientist” at a discussion about these things that is open to the general public.
A friend taught ancient history at a community college in northern Colorado Springs (home to Focus on the Family and Ted Haggard’s New Life Church). He got that kind of response when he taught about Zoroaster. I guess Zoroaster’s life story is similar enough to Jesus’s to really bring out the fire and brimstone in a lot of his students.
