Limey and Meiso both point to one of the often ignored aspects of religion today and that is those who defeated their adversaries got to expound their views and use their modus operandi to enforce their own policies. Either through implication or stated outright religious leaders would have you believe that they are doing god's work and will, it must be because we kicked the shit out of our opponents back in AD 400 or so and then we set up the council of Nicaea (sp?) to get rid of anyone who says or thinks differently than we.

Just because it's the current paradigm doesn't mean it's true or right.

What does this have to do with anything anyway? I'm gonna go back to work.
