    Just because I recognise a 1,700 year old anthology for what it is does not mean I am not a committed Christian.
    You believe that Jesus Christ not only was 100% God but also 100% man? Where did this idea come from? Or do you believe that he was just a man, because him being God wouldn't be sensible or it was just a superstition of the people at the time? If he was just a man, what superlative insight did he really have and where did he get it? Do you follow Jesus like some follow Confucius? If so, you are less of a mainstream Christian than a Muslim is, who believes in general that Jesus was a Prophet from God.

    I'm not claiming that you don't hold the teachings of Jesus dear in your ethical outlook on life, but you might want to ask yourself: "what is he to me and where did I get that particular idea?"

    If the answer is Church and Family tradition along with scripture, you may want to think long and hard about what it is that you really believe. If you believe that God tells you directly, then maybe you have more in common with the Church fathers than you think...

    "If the policy of the government, upon vital questions affecting the whole people, is to be irrevocably fixed by decisions of the Supreme Court...the people will have ceased to be their own rulers, having to that extent practically resigned the government into the hands of that eminent tribunal."
