Hi Karl,

I don't know why you say you're not a pagan.  From the Orthodox Jewish point
of view, anyone who believes in Jesus as the "Lord" or who believes in the
concept of the trinity is a pagan.  It therefore comes as a surprise to me 
that
you say you're not a pagan, because I thought you did believe in Jesus and in
the trinity.  Wait a minute.  Maybe you meant that you do not view yourself as
a pagan, while others may view you as a pagan.  But what's to say that those
people you call pagans viewed themselves as such?  Who exactly in the
"history of the DH" that you speak of did not view himself as a Christian 
while
being a "nominal Christian"?  Do you have any actual evidence that those
people were pagans?  That they were not Christians?  Could you provide names?
You are providing a history of the Documentary Hypothesis that is supposedly
based on facts, but you provide no facts to support it, and in fact,
it's probably
all made up.
