Eh, I think I would say that the closeness is more between religion and political power not necessarily just military. When ya control the politics you control the military. When churches are "in bed" with political parties and organizations...that is big trouble. And not necessarily on the part of the religion excusively, mind you, but on the part of the politics as well. A government partnered with a religion can easily turn the polls.

Believing in a hand puppet created by the clergy and emperors to bind your life and mind... is loosing your mind and life.

This documentary helps to explain why I am an Agnostic

It's okay to have beliefs, but when it overrides rational thought then it is problematic.

LOST FACT - Constantine had a vision of Apollo as well.

Christianity was perhaps the biggest insult to an amazing pacifist like Christ.

@jlangston23 I see the parallels between Islam and Catholicism and I wonder who created Islam, i.e. Rome=Mecca, Veneration of the Virgin in the Qu'oran, Rosary prayer beads=Tespesch prayer beads, Jesus or a saviour=Mahdi..both religions (and Judaism) infected by the Redeemer virus and on and on. I see a massive mind control op for centuries and most people today are still buying it.

@jlangston23 My point being that state run religions, i.e. the ones infused into the mind and municipal infrastructure of society, ARE political entities, Catholicism being the continuation of the Roman Empire under the guise of religion. Crowns were placed on royal heads by the papacy and thus the power emanated (and emanates, I would argue), from those who would ordain kingship.

@freaklemon The Crusades are arguably the most misunderstood historical event there is. The majority of people nowadays have subscribed to a particular understanding of the Crusades which can best be described as nothing more than folk history, or popular myth. However, the simple facts are that the Crusades were the result of a defensive Christian response to Muslim imperialism which was threatening Christendom. This imperialism was as much a political act, as it was a cultural act.

@Coolkid1steez Actually, as Oxford historian of science Dr. James Hannam states, "The starting point for all natural philosophy in the Middle Ages was that nature had been created by God. This made it a legitimate area of study because through nature, man could learn about its creator. Medieval scholars thought that nature followed the rules that God had ordained for it. Because God was consistent and not capricious, these natural laws were constant and worth scrutinising."
