[quote= (Shane @ May 16 2006,09:12)]Tim, that quote is so far from some sort of assertion of universal Christian values it's pathetic. That quote, were someone to read it and not know me, would sound like I didn't even believe in God, for crying out loud. That quote was me saying that whatever dynamics were at the root of the formation of what is modern Christianity existed in humanity and would have found outlet in the culture in question whether or not specific historic events such as a man named "Jesus" being born in Judea coming along and exercising a little populist religious reform.

This is in response to a specific argument, Tim, that professor-whatevernumber made that there are NO OUTSIDE FORCES that shape human culture.
