"By traditional I don't mean not-popular, I mean traditional. I don't
beleive that the Church fathers were quite so accepting of other religions
as Kevin is. In that sense, it is not traditional. Am I wrong?"
Well, St. Augustine once said that pagans can in fact have important truths
to teach Christians, if they will listen. A number of other church fathers
felt the same way, though admittedly some did not.
