Why?

When the first Christians tried to explain their religion they had no choice but to use the philosophical terms of their culture, which happened to be a fancy amalgam of the Greek, the Latin (always much more practical) and the Egyptian (always much, much, more mystical) as much as the Jewish...

We lack words to define love (and no, Greek wouldn't do either, you Greeks :P ), much less to define prayer.

You had a point if God's commandments were merely commandments and nothing else, as if He would not give us the Grace necessary to love deeply. But in any case, you aren't my enemy.

I do not consider anybody who disagree with me an enemy. And even if you were I am commanded by God Almighty to love you, anyway. (Even though I don't recall you, sorry )

Don't you think we should take care of the external elements in prayer so never to fall into sin?

Maybe it's because I'm a Spaniard, but I can't relate *some* Catholic prayers to saints with the flag (and I used to be Catholic)

Nazis designed pretty good planes, and their work on rocket research paved the way for the moon. Let's discuss doctrines, not the persons who penned them, for we will always find some failing in Theologians.

1. Calvin is not Calvinism 2. Calvinists are people too. 3. Never judge a person by his/her faith icon. 4. Heresy is something that should be reserved for salvific issues only.

I see the same old questions going on over and over again, while at the same time we're ignoring the basics of theology. What's Revelation? Where is to be found? How to interpret it and apply to that? Which system do we use? And so forth. It would take me a bit of trouble to express my views...

From your link "(This account of Servetus is merely a brief reconstruction of the circumstances and events of his trial for heresy. " In other words, that's the opinion of his enemies.

We (as in you and me) agree that the world is unfair; the thing is what we do about it, what's the next step

As I worked with homeless children, I felt the same, like if nobody cared. Part of the problem lies, I believe, in the practical tasks. In other words, often we know next to nothing about marketing.

You certainly mean underlying belief, not theology.
