Is it odd for a Pagan Agnostic individual to find christian history and mythology so compelling?

The importance for the modern scholar, student, seeker, and adherent is to properly categorize the literature. These are not intended to be biography as we understand them, nor are they offered to convince the outsider. They are, rather, taken as a whole, a collection of examples of how God transforms lives. Our own narratives are intended to be woven into the collection. The hagiographies need not be defended against those who consider them preposterous myths to be taken on blind faith, but as voices beckoning us to join them in joy and transfiguring grace.</P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.examiner.com/examiner/x-8005-SF-Eastern-Orthodoxy-Examiner~y2009m9d11-Saint-Euphrosynos-sainthood-humility-and-transformation">His immeasurable humility establishes and confirms his place amongst the choir of Saints, and sets a paradigm for those of us desiring the same outcome to follow.</blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/FA386A9E-B152-497B-A17A-EAA4686510AF/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content8.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
