All religions are evil...only some religions are more evil than others.

I seem to remember that early Christians in Britain tried to destroy all the old Pagan stone circles because they were works of the devil. They failed, the pagans built to last.

Cat-worshipping is a notable exception. Though Napoleon and Mussolini would have disagreed, so if they're your role-models....

Who in their right mind would worship a KAT.....

4000 years ago cats were worshipped as gods .... and they have never forgotten this

I'm not sure cats attention spans are that long...

Anyway, worship the goat, it's far cuter.

And makes nicer curry

And they'll eat anything ..... including winter pansies.

I really don't want to try cat curry, I suspect the meat would be stringy and grim. Mind, I've had some very suspect curries over the years so who knows. Tasted like chicken...

I'm fairly certain I've eaten seagull under the guise of chicken though.

Plus a lot of good stuff was destroyed or vandalised by our own people (in the British Isles) in relatively more recent times (the Reformation). 

Yes, the wonderful medieval stained glass windows in Chester cathedral. Parliamentary soldiers I believe.

Slightly off topic but had to come into work on the most glorious Spring day to try and sort out a complete balls up on a project, that is not our doing . Don't know when I'll get home and to add insult to injury may have to miss the WMMS show tomorrow as a result .

Hatra, now. Stupid b@*&@+=*!

It's just ludicrous that they're destroying statues made before Islam even existed as a religion.

Also can't understand why any religion or ideology would ban making pictures or statues or people and animals.

Wargamers would seem to be massively unIslamic and we don't even know it.

According to this some Muslims are ok with pictures as long as they aren't worshipped as idols, which seems a bit more balanced (if slightly weird).

Was Cromwell one of the Christian fundamentalist nuts that destroyed pictures/images in churches during the Civil War? Or was it factions even more extreme than him?

Exodus 20:3-5King James Version (KJV)

3 Thou shalt have no other gods before me.

4 Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth.*

5 Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the Lord thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me;
