Really all this thread comes down to is that the Christians are once again being uppity bastards, for no discernible reason.
"our religion inspires great works of art" really does make me throw up in my mouth a little. If you're going to look at pieces of artwork inspired by myths/fantasy, just look at the entirety of science-fiction. All of that came straight from the human imagination, without the need for some poxy book to base it on. You forget, also, that most of these "great works of art" are being held at the Vatican, once again for no discernible reason. All these priceless paintings, sculptures, books, murals etc. could be auctioned off, and the resultant millions be used to fund the missionary work the Church is so keen to shove down everyone's throat, but no, they just fester there pointlessly.
Truly inspirational.
