Please don't use analogies, being Italian is not a choice yet christianity is. It is not comparable.

I don't care if you think he's dangerous or not. The fact is nobody here is going to change their opinions overnight and there was once a time where opinions were expressed in a gentle manner. I refer you to religion discussions which were held up by people such as Torkel, John and others...people who have their opinions but don't flaunt them all just to cause controversy. The discussions I'm thinking about were controlled and friendly, not grotesque and distorted. Yes there was such a time, but nowadays it's rather impossible.
And I wonder why. :rolleyes2

A discussion about religion between believers and non-believers is simply impossible. Those that do not believe see the logic and rationality of not believing in a God. Those that do believe have their blinding faith, in which they chose not to accept the logical theories of the non-existence of a God, but rely on faith.
And if there is one thing that is true, it is the fact that faith is not logical, but that's what makes it faith.
So you have one side who brings forth logical statements and the other side who turns a blind eye to those statements, ignores them and just keeps on believing.
Outcome: rational discussion will never be possible, therefor just ban all religious discussion.
That being said let me just throw in my two cents.
Personally I believe that without any form of religion, the world would be a better place, I mean less wars, less suffering, more open-minded people, no prejuidice or discrimination based on believes, ... .

True mankind will always be in some state of war. Power, those that have it and those that want it will always be fighting. But how many wars haven't there been fought in the name of religion? Or how many wars have been "justified" cause it was "God's will"?
I'm just saying that without religion there would be less, mankind's struggle for peace is afterall, neverending.

If you have never heard about the Holy Grail (remember the cup Indiana Jones was chasing) its suppossed to be the Holy Cup Jesus Christ used at His last supper
and some say it was used to gather His spilt blood too,
its an object of extreme importance for Cristianity,
there have been unleashed Crusades (sacred wars) for this item,
it was rumoured to posses miraculous powers (imortality?)
The film's writer copy pasted a bold but foolish theory that the Holy cup infact means, holy/royal blood,(stupid theory prooven untrue)
that those quests for this item were infact the curches attempt to hide a dark imaginary secret,
false accusations without any logical or historical background ,
just a myth, presented as facts, based on a sick play of words that could only disterb the current order for a while...
(and win some big money over the scandals publicity in the way)
PS Dan Brown got it so wrong, the Holy Grail is rumoured to be a Celtic myth, much older than Cristianity...
