'Burn again' Christians.

I like my coffee strong and my theology orthodox, is one of the ways that I describe myself in my Orkut profile. It may be read as somewhat flippant attitude towards theology, but I hope it also underlines the fact that although fairly orthodox, my beliefs are mine by the virtue of choice. These days orthodox Christian beliefs are under the attack from many different sides, and I feel called to stand up for them. Many times, however, the new attacks are not new, and the attackers are just, unbeknownst to them, re-hashing some of the heresies that are as old as the Christianity itself. I find the arguments that deemed these opinions heretical as convincing today as they were when they were first given, and I feel it's really pointless to go back over things that have been resolved millenia ago. Jokingly, I call for the heretics to be burnt on the stake, and call this 'burn again' Christianity. Not surprisingly, some people take this statement of mine too seriously. For my part, I don''t try to assuage their fears. They won't believe me anyways.
