Quote from: ethelwulf;144971

I have never accused my ancestors of lying. I only made the point that we can not know that everyone was a devout Christian in the past. In writing kept in my family from as far back as the 1600's suggest otherwise. Ironically these old letters were kept in the old family bibles. To call some of my ancestors devout Christians from the writings they left would have been a lie so it is an insult to say what you did about me. Do not worry I will not bother anyone else again in this form but I think it is unfair to make such claims as you did. I am proud of my ancestors even if they were not all devout Christians.

The 1600's is about a thousand years too late to say anything about what your pagan ancestors thought and believed.
