The templars withered down here in Portugal, disguised as the order of christ (hence escaping death decreed by the 'holy' pope) It is still remembered in Portugal's flag, and it does represent a part of history.
Their history is still felt here in America...especially on days like yesterday. (Friday the 13th.) Also, the scalping practices utilized by bankers. Possibly also that annoying warriors for jeebus mentality some churchy zealots have as well.
Rayaan- I appreciate the work you put into this thread, really, I do. But I have to say...the cynic in me just wants to say 'Well, du-uh'!
