A Lutheran pastor, the Rev. Steven Robertson resigned as pastor of his church after pledging his allegiance to Vulcanus Rex, god of fire. He did this as part of St. Paul’s Winter Carnival last year. Now he claims the fellow members of his Krewe are more Christ like than his former parishioners.

Makes you wonder what he believes Jesus Christ is like. It is doubtful he holds a Biblical view of who Jesus is, otherwise he would find it difficult to swear allegiance to a pagan deity even in jest. Again, the individual’s world view comes into play.
The real issue here is the identity of Jesus Christ. If He was a mere man the good Rev. Robertson is free to make such a move without fear of consequence. If, on the other hand, Jesus is who He claims, God incarnate, then Robertson just stepped out on some very thin ice. (pun intented)
