I did not know that. I assumed that was where the Christians got it.

Christians got most of there cool traditions from the dark ages, when absolute controll of society was becoming harder and harder, they upped the anti.

Good point, I forgot about that whole 'The Pope Is Infallible' thing. And the massive power they had in the dark and middle ages.

That was when the Pope thing really got out of hand. Kissing his toe, waging war on political enemies.

In a time when the majority of the worlds population was killed by plauge, they kept from mass rioting, for the most part. I think they did alright.

Got that right. I think it was the guys who beat themselves who kept order.

The internet provides the guns.
We shall take this to the Picture Fight thread!

I think the Pope is an alright sort of person, although I do not agree with him out of religious differences.

I know it was mentioned like 10 pages ago, but I don't see how Buddhism would have anything to do with a really 'religion Vs. Athism' discussion. Buddhists don't beleive in a god or gods, they beleive in the teachings of one man who actuilly existed, it's more of a life philosphy than a 'religion' with a god or gods. Other religions should be fair game in this discussion though, like Hinduism.

I agree. I don't even consider Buddhism to be a religion.

Hellenistic Judaism was more philosophy than religion, or so I hear.

How is Buddhism not a religion? Because OBVIOUSLY a religion has to have a god/gods, amirite?
