There is a very small minority within MAD like STP and heir who hold this spin of theirs.
MAD in general holds that the Greeks were just another way of saying the Gentiles.
Sort of like how the Brits say "you Americans" while at other times use the phrase "you Yanks."
Yanks had originally been a negative that referred to the American troops within the British military before the Revolutionary War, at which point "the Yanks" were viewed as "aliens" etc.
Due to the previous, Greek Empire, the Greeks had once been held in the same contempt for their pagan idolatry by the Jew as the Romans now were.
In this, the word Greeks referred as much to a lost pagan Gentile, who was without God in the world, as to a Greek in nationality.
Just as the Romans referred to anyone not a Roman as a Barbarian.
While the word Grecian referred to a Jew who followed Greek customs, philosophy, etc - a Hellenic, or Hellenized Jew.
Just goes to show the importance of the history of a thing and what ignorance of it ends some at.
In this, you also reveal your ignorance as well, andyc.
For the views on some of these things as espoused by heir and STP are held by very few within MAD.
