Damn. I am so tired of religion infesting every area of our lives. Religion caused it, religion still adds fuel to it........THIS BS WILL NEVER END until we stop making any decisions based on religion. But it seems to be a part of our genes.
THousands of years ago, the Athenians got smashed after their defeat at Syracuse because an eclipse. They made the decision NOT to sail until the prescribed time was up. Now, they all fought battles this way, not just a group here and there.
Fast forward to a Roman battle, Paullus against Perseus. Another eclipse, but they learned from the Athenians that an eclipse is just an eclipse. But the Macedonians did not..........So who had the edge?
I'm with Minimalist. I really don't care- as Chasm said, Muslims were killed there, too!
If we stopped making decisions based on religions and other people continue to do so, we will have the advantage to show a better way and stop the madness. But we have to get rid of the ideologies spouting about by theo-politicians.
