But if you start understanding it word by word - there will be some illogical things that will requre pure and blind faith (and that's dangerous). It's this was of thinking that led to great bloodsheads in the name of the cross.

They want it. That is what the big-wigs of Religion wanted back then. Christianity used deceit and lies, and outright murder, to gain power. Then, by enforcing fanatical worship by their followers, they invaded other countries in 'The Name of God'. They enforced blind faith.
This sentiment has lived on, and people everywhere still blindly follow whatever the church throws at them. [/b][/quote]
They dont behaved other than any other country,kingdom or force in that time. In middle age, church was force like any other (infact he was most powerful, becouse he controled everyday life to almost every people from peasants to lords)
If you have almost ultimate power of other people,you WILL think you are infallible.
Things that had church done in past, has his roots in poltics as well as in religion.
I am not trying to execuse them. It is alway terrible when you mistreat belief as tool to control people, but also quite effective :whistle:
