I did not say it was decisive, but that it did irreparable damage to the relationship. Joel Send a noteboard - 11/03/2012 04:23:43 AM
In my original post, I further stated Romes practice of accomodating European paganism by merging its divinities with saints made icon veneration critical to its mission (sometimes as much a survival as an ecclesiastical matter,) and that the greater rarity of polytheism in Byzantium could only make that another bone of contention. That is mainly conjecture on my part though, not documented fact.

The point, however, was that two centuries before the Great Schisms formal declaration, as all contributing factors made it de facto reality, Byzantine emperors spent a half century declaring an accepted and celebrated Roman practice heresy, if not idolatry. How could that not further strain an already tortured relationship? My HS world history textbook taught us it did, but you can always write them a correction after editing the below link.

LoL. Be well, RAFOlk.
Though you might want to refer to it by a different term in both cases.

Atheism: The Iconoclasm of the West? - 10/03/2012 05:42:56 AM 1308 Views
I think about as highly of athiesm as I do of christianity. *NM* - 10/03/2012 05:54:20 AM 360 Views
I would chide you on that basis for having a love/hate relationship with God, but who does not? - 10/03/2012 06:05:11 AM 536 Views
If the divine made men... - 10/03/2012 06:27:42 AM 528 Views
True, but by the same token, in denying our nature we deny the divine. - 10/03/2012 06:57:40 AM 545 Views
I was actually just saying in Skype this is the first post you've made in a long time I've enjoyed. - 10/03/2012 07:02:56 AM 564 Views
Thanks? It is all Dans fault, really. - 10/03/2012 07:21:19 AM 830 Views
But you do comparable things all the time! - 10/03/2012 08:35:31 AM 759 Views
You've made this analogy before and it's still a bad one, those aren't comparable - 10/03/2012 03:43:08 PM 647 Views
You said what I was thinking far more respectfully than I probably would have. - 11/03/2012 12:14:55 AM 610 Views
... and apparently it was a waste of time - 11/03/2012 03:27:04 AM 548 Views
Perhaps he just missed it in all my spam? - 11/03/2012 04:59:31 AM 621 Views

Nope, Buddhists are explicitly atheist and also explicitly Ontologically engaged - 11/03/2012 01:39:20 AM 862 Views
Actually, Buddhists are not explicitly atheist in the conventional sense of the world. - 11/03/2012 02:42:36 AM 667 Views
Yeah, that's very true. - 11/03/2012 03:27:09 PM 757 Views
My Buddhist readings are definitely Tibet-focused. - 11/03/2012 04:00:17 PM 810 Views

What exactly do you mean by "The irreparable damage it inflicted in the Great Schism"? - 10/03/2012 07:57:59 PM 734 Views
That Byzantiums iconoclasm was one of the many wedges between it and Rome that led to the Schism. - 11/03/2012 12:27:05 AM 652 Views
Bull. Shit. - 11/03/2012 01:54:07 AM 730 Views

It is not like I just pulled it out of my rear, any more than my HS history text or Wikipedia did. - 11/03/2012 04:57:31 AM 686 Views
Bull. Shit. - 11/03/2012 05:14:01 AM 760 Views
Irreparable damage is damage that cannot be repaired, not necessarily serious or fatal. - 11/03/2012 10:34:57 AM 829 Views

Very edifying; can you do Mandarin or Swahili next? - 12/03/2012 05:47:23 PM 696 Views
No. Even English seems to be beyond your grasp. - 12/03/2012 06:29:50 PM 604 Views
Citing scripture does not justify telling me to kill myself. - 13/03/2012 12:08:02 AM 739 Views
I'm not telling you to; God is. - 13/03/2012 12:35:45 AM 522 Views
Or can only you use that sort of specious logic? *NM* - 13/03/2012 03:50:20 PM 267 Views
