Without a God we wouldn't have had crusades

I have interviewed many artists who operated behind the iron curtain and not a single one of them has claimed communism, the iron curtain and the censorship was a blessing for them.     

I hope you will interview many more. Ask them how did they fell themselves in the end of the 80's - beginning of the 90's. I guess they tell you it was a hard time for them.

On the contrary, many of them are rightfully angry and bitter about the many lost years of their careers. Being imprisoned and censored is a waste of time and life.      
I think in most cases it's just an illusion: if we were free, we could gain international success. Now they are free, but success is more than moderate. There are exceptions like Rammstein, but in general this is an English-singing world.

At this point in the morning I am more thankful for coffee than god. Besides, the Crusades did nothing for god, really, but did introduce coffee to Europe. And for that I am thankful for the thousands that were slaughtered just so I could enjoy my Starbucks. Who says religion isn't useful?

Fans of real coffee will probably tell you that what you have in Starbucks is not a coffee at all, just some liquid. Smile

Actually, I am not a coffee snob. I like Starbucks' coffee, because it is chockful of caffeine, that most wondrous of elements. That, and there is a ubiquitous franchise store a couple blocks from my house. It's as if they put it there just for me!

If I recall my history lessons, coffee was introduced into Europe many centuries AFTER the Crusades and the Fall of Grenade (1492), around 1600...
Moreover, it came from the Arabic Peninsula through Venitian merchants.

But I can see what you mean: THANKS GOD FOR THE CRUSADES, IT GAVE US TOMATOES!

Thank you for catching the irony. Wink
