It's about time the world claimed it's true history back, the Vatican vaults contain many items of great interest, to put it mildly, we have to remember that it is the victor who writes the history books, and the Catholic Church ruled with a bloody iron fist for a very long time.
And then we have the gentleman's agreement between the Catholic Church and Hitler, Vatican self storage Co, Nazi memorabilia storage areas : ) Art and treasures from across Europe, so much missing, but I'm sure it's all perfectly safe somewhere.
Religion is a tool used by those in power to control the masses, Goooooooooo Church! You've got to give it to them, it worked! Complete control over vast areas, populations and fortunes, damn! Wish I had thought of that one, I suppose I could start one up, or is age of religion a pre requisite to belief?
You'll notice I did not dismiss anyone's God or Gods, you do not need a dude in a dress to tell you to have morals and be a good person, you don't need to adhere to the words of man, fashioned towards their own ends to know right from wrong, if you believe in any God or Gods, or oneness, make the world your church, make your local community your congregation.
Peace : )
