Greek ingenuity & thought was based on rationalism & free-thinking. Religion existed back then, but it certainly wasn't a major component of civilization.

For those who didn't have the benefit of a Catholic education this is the story, one incident at a time, of Jesus' hellish torture and slow cruel murder at the hands of the Romans (but still blamed on the Jews somehow). Except they've removed mention of things like scourging or being nailed to wood and hung out to die in agony because that sort of thing simply wouldn't be appropriate to show young children.
So now it's a guy who just dies and then comes back to life. That's not a saviour. That's Patient Zero.

religion is past prime.
kobe's torn achillies has seen better days.
believing in a invisible man living upstairs in the clouds watching your every move makes you look incredibly ignorant and stupid.
it will be completely phased out by modern progressive society.Last edited by Ragnar Lothbrok; 04-17-2014, 01:44 PM.

I was raised a Catholic but I dont believe in "god" these days but at the heart of every religion there is good teachings that tell man to be good and moral.
Its only man that twists religion's teachings to suit themselves and their agenda.

this one doesn't know when the stone age ended.
and religion was absolutely important to classical greece. that's obviously something else about which you know very little. i've probably read more from that period in the last five years than you even know exists.

people who don't share familial kinship grouping together [and establishing norms, culture,] because they worshipped the same gods predates writing.
