You’re Tertullian!


You possess many gifts, but patience isn’t one of them. You’re tough on yourself — and on others. You’re independent, too, and you don’t like to be told what to do. You wish the Church would be a little tighter in discipline. As for the pagans, you’ve pretty much written them off. Sometimes you think the Church would be a better place if you were in charge.

I'm St. Melito. The description fits, but I don't know him...

http://www.cogwriter.com/melito.htm (This is mostly nonsense, especially the denial that Melito regarded the Spirit as God - absence of evidence is not evidence of absence, not to mention that the Greek word for Spirit, pneuma, is inevitably connected to the identity of whoever has said spirit, in much the same sense as "life" with us, so that you would never speak of "the life of God" as separate from God. But it is worth it for the quotations, and because one might as well know what the enemy is saying.)
