That's a good story. It is, in fact, a much better story than the One We Know. All full of pathos and torn loyalties and stuff. I'm adopting it. I think I'll call it George.

PArt of my parting from a very devout Lutheran background was the realization that past facts had no place in current doctrine. I didn't like that since the whole reason Lutherans were supposedly doing it better was because Good old Martin posted his Theses on the door of the church explaining how current doctrine had strayed from ancient truth.

I think there was also a point where it occured to me that members of my congregation could have been involved in the holocaust. (Early services were still in German, and it was an older crowd)

Fascinating, makes me want to dig out my copy of the
"The Christian Conspiracy: How the Teachings of Christ Have Been Altered by Christians
by L. David Moore"

The book is a break-down of what bits of theology were kept, and which were ditched throughout the history of the Xtian Church.

It makes for a fantastic game of WHAT IF.
