[QUOTE="Justinian, post: 77876, member: 923"] One thing sucks about all religions in the past and present is the desire to destroy relics of the other past religions. Just think of how much we could learn of the Central/ South American cultures if the Spanish didn't destroy everything. The most ancient religion (according to what I've read as far as geologic dating) is Zoroastrianism from the city of Merv. A lot of that religions carvings were destroyed. The Taliban destroying things throughout Afghanistan through the 80's and 90's. It just sucks. Regardless of any religious ideology they may have had to make them destroy these things.. it was setback of history worldwide and it's like there is a missing piece of human history in the world now. The Chinese refuse to let archaeologists into certain areas of their country. It's no wonder why after seeing what history dictates will happen if they let people near it. Even just rudimentary cave drawings. Nobody messed with them for 100's of years because they were considered sacred or holy. And then here comes the European settlers stomping through and carving their names next to it to show they were there. SMH. So it's not a bash on any one religion for me, it's some inerrant psychological issue that some people regardless of religion just don't care for differences of opinion or property of others and do what they feel is right regardless of what the consequences. As for Sam, don't pick on Sam. I give her her props. Thick or thin she's always stood by her religion. I give respect to anyone for that. To say she comments harshly about slams on her religion, oh well. Christians do take the brunt of all religious debates. Like I stated before its the big dog scenario, but also that most people don't know enough about other religions to also slam them. So they focus on the one they grew up with.
