What I do think is that the Christianity in the time of Jesus
Christ and just after his immediate departure was certainly
far more idealistic and pure in the spiritual ideas than perhaps
the nowadays institutional Church is about. The comparison
was to be in between the Christian movement "old" some 30 years
and the modern Christianity 2000 years old. In those days, the
practitioners of (then) revolutionary spiritual movement were
risking to be supplied as the food for the hungry lions in the
Roman's arenas for their expressing out the religious beliefs...
That says something.
The comparison was to make the point how time may influence
any spiritual movement into the direction of institutionalizing
(and thus watering down) the pure spiritual ideas and motives.
Something that I do belive ISKCON is not really sterilized from
by de fault. And something that I have personally both witnessed
and experienced in my life.
There was absolutely no attempt to compare Christianity
(of any time) with ISKCON (of any time) in terms of any
*superiority* (or who nailed whose founder-acarya on the cross
and who did not). That is what you apparently may be dwelling
on within your own mind after an apparent assumption that
the superiority of ISKCON over other religious movements
has been under the attack. Why do I have to be bothered
about what's there up in your own mind?

I do not remember that with that text I was professing myself as
a compiler of all-inclusive ISCKON history, a representation of
ISKCON current state in whole, and the accurate description of
ISKCON future...
So, you got it right. Yes, take the due credit here.

I got used on that already.
