The Pantokrator!

Where in any of this did I say that I thought the word was exclusively tied to Christianity? The _etymology_ and _history_ of the word do seem to be, which is why I call it anachronistic.

Do you really think I would have posted a link to a site without reading it, or checking on the issues at hand? Yes, it means 'Almighty'; it says so on the site I linked to, and I have no qualms about that. As I've stated previously before. Also, _I_ did not bring Christianity into this at all. The site meantions it, yes, but that is hardly a religious source. If I wanted to cite religious sources, believe me, I could.

I don't see why people are thinking I'm trying to persuade them of something I'm not.

*sigh*

I can tell you, Foodstamp, that yes, the argument has to do with the application of the term to prechristian deities. That seems anachronistic from the sources I've read; if that is not true, please give me a source and I'll be happy with it.

I am honestly not understanding any of this brouhaha.
