:In my defense, I plead simple ignorance as to the difference between paganism and manichaeism, the root of the issue. Apparently, confusing a religion with multiple deities to another religion with multiple deities is "death wrong", and I apologize for any confusion I might have caused. At the time I made the change, (and even now) [[User:Thomas]]'s edits appeared to be apologist nonsense - His edits to [[You can't prove God doesn't exist]] (and subsequent discussion on the talk page) was nothing more than a diatribe about his assumptions as to the nature of god. The [[Orthodox Christianity]] article appeared intended to support Catholicism as a more valid alternative. In the [[St. Augustine]] article (and subsequent edit war) Thomas seemed intent on presenting the youthful Augustine as a Catholic, despite his intensive study of non-christian worldviews.

::I Wish you where this courtious on my talk page. Because i have to embarise you in public. I am not biased to Catholicism because i am an Orthodox Christian myself. Orthodox Christianity does not have a scholastic tradition, because scholasticism has it's origine in Western-Europe, in fact in Italy of the eleventh century and is based on the teachings of Aristoteles. This is very basic philosophical history which i hope you will take time to study. Augustine was in fact raised as a Christian from early childhood, for example he was enlisted into the [[catechumens]]. Augustine was a bad Christian in his early life but a Christian none the less and when he turned to Manichaenism, to the regret of his mother; he did not change from a pagan into a Manichaein but from an | ::I Wish you where this courtious on my talk page.

:::Another good point is to say that i was raised a Marxist but turned to Orthodoxy at the age of nineteen. I was a Marxist when i was twelve but not a very good Marxist, but a Marxist none the less. --[[User:Thomas|Thomas]] | :::Another good point is to say that i was raised a Marxist but turned to Orthodoxy at the age of nineteen.
