if you hear all the bog bodies were slaughtered pre-christian period. ancient civilizations did not live in peace and harmony before christians, take the aztec who sacrificed 2,000 people in four days and maked carvings to recognise this, or attila the hun who slaughtered thousands. religion isn't to blame its human behaviour, we misinterpret most things, and only use common sense when we have exhausted every other alternative

I bet there has been someone over the years who was walking in that area and got a little creeped out by seeing them. This is the real life version of the dead warriors in the lake in the Lord of the Rings movies, The Two Towers I think. Really interesting!

maybe the european is miscalculated - In finding iron - of course maybe an excitement invoking a O.o event - but look at the stress of the video . music , voice tone , hypothesis is very incriminating as opposed to scientific , maybe should tweak the spirit expression to less bias ? :)

@mckfrr My comment was a response to a person called alth3s4me who was arguing that prior to Christianity that civilizations lived in peace and harmony, I was arguing against that which is why my sentence was structured that way. If you went to place where my original comment is and read what was said prior to it than you would understand. But nowhere in my comment did I say there was peace and harmony during Christianity, that is what you interpreted and not in the example itself.

[mckfrr]

@amandareuscer. Yes you did. I didn't misinterpret anything, here's an example, you said: Ancient Civilzations did not live in peace and harmony before Christians. That is what I was arguing, I already agreed with the rest of what you said, that religion isn't to blame, that people use that as an excuse. you should listen and read better. You misinterpreted what I was saying, perhaps next time read all of a person's comments before you write your own.

@mckfrr i am not saying we did live in peace and harmony during the christian period, you totally misinterpreted what I said. I was saying that its human behaviour that is to blame rather than the religion. It is the people who are behind the violence that are to blame, they are the ones who hide behind their faith and use it as an excuse. the examples you gave of religious violence are consider religious but rather religion was used as an excuse to the actions.

If someone does something awful and uses Christianity as an excuse for his actions then that's all it is, just an excuse. If Christ did not promote it then its not Christian. Christ did not encourage any form of violence, (unlike Muhammed) So these historic attrocities by so-called Christians are not really Christian at all..
