Perhaps one of the most misunderstood terms in the English Bible is the word "holy". Outside of being repeated three times in a well-known hymn, I suspect few in 'mainstream xtianity could actually define the word.

The problem that so many have who will try to excuse the perfidy of paganism and the 'Whore Church' is that it is a corollary to the bigger problem, rather than an end in itself. He warned us.
