That's a misuse of the Pavlov's dogs illustration.
The dogs in question learned to as sociate two seperate things by inference, i.e. food being served and the sound of a small bell being struck. I understand your point Kelly, just pointing out something someone else will doubtlessly mention later if I don't
I agree with you kelly, and It is also worth mentioning that, prior to the early sixties, prayer in public schools was fairly common, but wasn't considered an important variable when figured in to people's conversation to Christianity. Anyone weak willed enough to become a Christian by exposure alone is equally likely to become a mass murderer based upon seeing people killed on the tele all the time.
EDIT:
And I'm more inclined to believe that the stories about Jesus (those that weren't made up by the writers) referred to a bunch of different prophets who someone decided to stick together with one name as a cultural icon.
I dare you, Vince. PROVE me wrong, and don't cite the Bible while you're at it, because that's exactly what I'm calling into question.
