"ancient Pagan babylonian Moon God over the last 1300 years. Look at the flags with the moon and the star.." I can only point out that the fish is an equally ancient symbol (pre-Christian), that Babylon and it's religions fell thousands of years ago, and that many of the most important Christian religious observances were pegged to pre-Christian dates (Christmas, for example) to make acceptance for the new religion easier. All history stands on the ruins and remanents of the past. (Much of the Old Testament, for example, is mirrored in the writings of pre-existing religions... and significant parts of the New Testament as well.)

I don't care what people think and worship, right up to the point where they force people to adopt their crappola at knife or gunpoint. Looks like the insurgents in Iraq fully agree with you! ;-)

Muslim barbarism "He ordered his men to kill large and small, men and women, particularly insisting that no prisoners were wanted; and there can be no question that he and the officers under him had full knowledge of the barbarities of the massacre. The evidence is likewise conclusive that practically all of those killed were scalped; that women as well as men were so mutilated as to render description unprintable; that in at least one instance a woman was ripped open and her unborn child thrown by her side; that defenceless women, exposing their breasts to show their sex, and begging for mercy, were shot down with revolvers placed practically against the flesh; that hours after the attack, when there was not a militant Indian within miles of the camp, children were used as targets." curtis-collection.com Ol' Colonel Chivington must've been a Muslim, eh? CC I recoil with horror at the ferociousness of man. Will nations never devise a more rational umpire of differences than force? Are there no means of coercing injustice more gratifying to our nature than a waste of the blood of thousands and of the labor of millions of our fellow creatures? - Thomas Jefferson
