TB, out of curiosity, are you a religious man? Being a Greek I would normally assume you are an Orthodox Christian?

Why would you assume such a preposterous claim RB???Do you think that to be Greek you must be religious in the Orthodox way??

Nice video. In a humerous way he shows how ridiculous religion is.

Dude, I wish I had his ability to talk like that, we call it παρρησία in greek. I think I have it while writing, but I am very laconic in my daily life and I never spoke much, so... Bummer.

SUBSERVIANCE is the main word in religion something the ancient Greeks would have never accepted!!!!

Religion was central to the Ancient Greeks as we can see by the plethora of temples, and as long as no one challenged those religious beliefs harmony between it and the individual was assured. However...

The charges against Alcibiades

Quote:
One night during preparations for the expedition, the hermai, heads of the god Hermes on a plinth with a phallus, were mutilated throughout Athens. This was a religious scandal and was seen as a bad omen for the mission. Plutarch explains that Androcles, a political leader, used false witnesses who accused Alcibiades and his friends of mutilating the statues, and of profaning the Eleusinian Mysteries.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alcibiades

The death of Socrates

Quote:
In 399 Socrates was indicted for impiety. The author of the proceedings was the influential Anyntus, one of the two chiefs of the democrats restored by the counterrevolution of 403; but the nominal prosecutor was the obscure and insignificant Meletus. There were two counts in the accusation, corruption of the young and neglect of the gods whom the city worships and the practice of religious novelties.

Britannica Encyclopedia 1972 Vol 20 p 819

And because of their superstitions they crucified a geat man in Socrates......How many great minds has the Christian church crucified over the last 2000 years???Should I say how many 1000's would that be a bit closer??
