Koresh was no more a Christian than Satan is. He claimed to **be** the Messiah, not worship Him. That’s like calling Charlie Manson a Christian. Besides, Koresh lived in a freaking commune, for crying out loud. How much more left-wing can you get? Regards, Shodan ---

Christianity is conservative? Quick, someone go tell the pope. He has to become a conservative before he dies, or he’s in trouble! ---

Let this be a lesson to the iconoclasts of the world (does he happen to be a lab mouse who is attempting to take over the world?): One-word replies usually don’t convey much of a message. And I should know. ---
