paul reilly asks:
"Oh, what is your source for the Laws of Malkion? I have never
seen these published, as far as I know."

They haven't been published. Sorry. I paraphrased them, though.

Alex opines:
"It's very unclear what you mean by "Ancient" Christianty here:
your answers (mostly deleted herein) don't seem consistent for any one period."

I meant roughly A.D. 300 to 500, during the period covered by the
"Credo!" card game. My study of this period has been haphazard,
I admit. If you feel I've been inconsistent, please enlighten us (though not me--see below).

Alex states the truth:
"Christianity has been a `state' religion (off and on) since its
adoption by the Roman Empire."

Yes, but there has been separation between the ecclesiastical powers and the temporal powers, as a result of the way Christianity BECAME a state religion. In Islam, there was never this separation.

"Hmm. Another candidate for the Americanisation Test,
Inquisitor. }B-)"

What?

BTW, it's immanent, not imminent. But I doubt Alex thought I was saying Aldrya was likely to occur at any moment or threateningly or menacingly near or at hand.

On a sadder note, I seem to have been dropped from the RQ Daily Bulletin. Was it something I said? Did I transgress the charter of the Bulletin? If so, I'd like to know what this document says, at least. Ignorance of the law excuses no one, of course, but the judge usually tells you what you've done before he passes sentence.

It's been fun. Thanks for the ride, Henk. Martin
