		<description><![CDATA[By Christian, the author means Roman Catholic.

It is interesting that at the height of the Roman Empire a significant number of gentiles attended Jewish synagogues. They did this for the moral guidance provided by Judaism.

As Christianity dies out, we are stranded in a neopagan world without meaning, or morality, or mercy.]]></description>
