Not much different than politics inspired by religion. Pledge- "one nation under God" because you pinko commie bastards don't believe in religion.

The Bible is a book of man, the content of which was decided upon and closed by an arbitrary group of humans. This is called "canonization" and was done in the 400s if I remember right. There are many other Biblical chapters called the Apocrypha and then even more than that. 2.) Jesus was a human that was married to Mary Magdalane and his works and the reincarnation stuff was meant as a metaphor. Both he and Mary possibly came from royal blood (King David, Solomon, etc) 3.) Much of the Catholic religion's rituals have been inspired more by politics than by divine command. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Purchase Flash MX Pro from House of Fusion, a Macromedia Authorized Affiliate and support the CF community. http://www.houseoffusion.com/banners/view.cfm?bannerid=57 Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:5:160372 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/5 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:5 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.5 Donations & Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54
