Today, I tracked over one hundred attempts of abuse on ANN. I've been working on the filters and editing mechanisms for over four hours. Maintaining ANN is turning into real work, and all I see are tasks that I despise. This one individual, and the general attitude on ANN lately, is alienating visitors and making this site a horrible place to be. Most of what I see is insults and blind advocacy... I'm tired... And I can just see the negative comments again, in reply to me posting this...

MOTD 02/01/2002 : Comment 128 of 174 | ANN.lu |
Posted by William F. Maddock on 03-Jan-2002 17:20 GMT | In reply to Comment 124 (Anonymous): Actually, there *was* some truth in what he said. Constantine *did* corrupt the early Christian church. Not quite in the way claimed, though. He is in large part responsible for the "diefication" of saints, known more widely as canonization. I call it deification because of the habit of Roman Catholics to pray to those that they know are not God. The Bible, in Exodus Chapter 20 expressly forbids this type of practice, yet they do it anyway. There are a lot of things wrong with the modern Christian church. If there weren't we wouldn't have so many denominations. The main thing to remember is that we, too, are human, and therefore fallible; and that the *only* one we should be praying to (as Christians) is the Lord Himself. |
