>> ^MaxWilder: ...a small group of people simply made it all up some time around 50-60 AD.
Eh wot? A small group of people living in Roman occupied Hellenized Palestine under Jewish religious rule got together and cooked up all the gospels and epistles (letters)?
Wow. That's some talent. Who was this small group? And what was their purpose?
Whoever they were they sure miscalculated since the 1st century guys who 'made it all up' lived wretched lives and died really nasty deaths.
The only people who wouldn't give this gracious gesture are those who are insecure in their own position and authority. Like 'dick' corncobuphisass cheney.
Wonder if dick ever met the pope. You're supposed to bow/kneel and kiss his ring.
re: lack of empathy - part of it is the emotional numbing we have to adopt just to make it thru the day. We're bound and gagged (can't fight back, can't talk back) and thrown into a pit of rabid hyenas, jackals and wolverines (supervisors and managers) every day for 8 hours.
By the end of the day the only person i can empathize with is the guy who snaps and shoots up the place.

The catholic church is irrelevant as a force for anything in the world. It's a banal social club that meets for 30-45 minutes once a week, whose members disregard whatever wisdom they may have heard as soon as they walk out the door.

Same here.
Interesting stuff about the salutes. As i recall, impassioned rhetoric for "one nation (reich) under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all." made up a good portion of Hitler's Nuremberg Rally speech at the end of the "Triumph of the Will" propaganda film.
