Now Bo, I could also post you some more wiki on what "Hellenism" is but
hopefully you'll figure it out like you did the other term I used "greeky".
 Here's a hint - they're synonomous.

More importantly, the influence of greek thought is plainly there - its in
the language as written, for one thing, it's in Paul misogynistic tendencies
for another.  And it was  strongly present in the Jewish intellect of that
time.

Calling Islam an offshoot of Judaism is as misinformed as calling man an
offshoot of apes.

o.m.g.  What a buffet of misinformation and confusion you do spew at times.
 How does one "revive" the "Greek Spirit" unless it has already been a live
body of thought that died?  The influence of Greek thought, language and
culture was ingrained into Christianity from Paul, onward.   Which has been
the point of importance, imo, to analyzing how the "genetic defect in
reason" shifted Christianity into fallacious reasoning.
