This topic sure has beaten a lot of dead horses, but no one seems to have any clue about genuine history. America is supposed to have a separation of church and state, because when the two are wedded, you get funny little things like psychoses and witch burnings and crusades. Perhaps the funniest thing about all this is that there is no historicity to Jesus at all-zero. So, I still get ignoramuses declaring that the bible is the literal word of God. Really? The literal word of a man made myth?!? How friggin ignorant is that! I am forever amazed that masses of people will happily dedicate their lives to a religion they don't know the first thing about, just because they were told to. So much for land of the brave, and home of the free. More like land of the conformists and home of the ignoramuses. Napoleon destroyed the church in France. He exposed and ruined their torture chambers, and drove them out thoroughly-but then, he reinstated the church, admitting that it was the great masses of his people who wanted their sick faith. He despaired of breaking through their ignorance, and gave them what they thought they wanted. Not much has changed in the human animal since then.
