- You know, I didn't think you guys where still around! Last I heard
- from the TMC+A was in 1986! A local church was loudly proclaiming your
- group "pornographic heritics" or some other such. I wrote (after stealing
- the address from the local church!) and got some material from someone or
- another that differentiates from your above stated conception myth. Is this
- the updated version of the conception story, or are their different
- versions of exactly what happened? In the version I heard the Goddess
- carried the seed of God to Mary who provided the ovum. Otherwise, Mary is a
- surrogate mother to a completely divine child and the sacrafice of Jesus's
- life is meaningless to humanity because he is in no way "man", just "God".
-
- I find the whole "science combined with faith" approach refreshing
- and in my correspondence with your people noticed a particular level of
- tollerence uncommon in many other christians. I for one am glad of it.
