:If it's not being denied, where is it? It has not just been lowered in priority - it has been ''completely removed''! And by all means compare him to Judas Maccabeus. Be my guest. But completely removing the Cincinnati reference is removing an historical fact. One of the things I have always thought admirable about colonial America and the nascent United States was its knowledge of the classical era which comes out in the names given to everything from towns to Indian tribes. I have always considered it good that there was room for both devotion to the Lord and a classical education at the same time. Has this now disappeared?

I will place the reference to the Cincinnati elsewhere in the article as you suggest, I'm sorry I removed it altogether. Although as far as the relationship between Christianity and paganism goes, I recommend that you read Tertullian on this subject. He lived in the 2nd century, after all, and knew paganism at first hand. [[User:LatinScholar|LatinScholar]] 15:32 02/09 EST
