S///R///W/B Mythless Patterns

[David Morris]

"Christianity" is a very broad category, but if we temper X-ianity with 
Western Civilization, that lends a bit of focus.  We could construct a 
Matrix of the two, combining "West Virginia snake handlers" with St. 
Aquinas.  No, those are both Xian.  Or are they West?

"West."  Does it mean:
1.  Plato and the bunch? (Logic)
2.  Galileo and the bunch? (Science)
3.  St. Paul and his bunch? (Morals)

**This really must be contrasted w/ "East" to have much meaning, but not 
now...**

"Xianity?"
1.  Big Dick, "Believe or else," god. (Fear)
2.  Don't Live Now. (Eternal Life Later)
3.  Go Get 'Em.  (Evangelism)

This looks like a potent mix!
