The History Channel: From Hitler to Freemasons

[Banquo's Ghost]

The Sikhs! Sikhs! Sikhs! lodge is a satanist cult.

Now that's worthy of maestro Gregoshi.

Oh, I agree... as soon as they started doing religion program after religion program about the end of days.... That's not history. That's not even reality. It's fiction about the future, and poorly written at that. It belongs on the religion channels.

If they were doing a historical look at religion, that would be one thing. If they were talking about which movements shaped history, that's another. Religion is a major part of history and it should be studied and preserved as history. When religious belief about the future is marketed as history, or all these shows about Noah's Ark and other myths (involving zero science either for or against it) are being presented as history, I know they have sold out and simply become trash TV.

Even if they wanted to (taking the Noah story as an example) put forward a totally Biblical story and put a sympathetic slant on it, they could at least put up timelines and theories about when and where it happened. There's almost no educational value whatsoever. You might as well just have a dude reading from the Bible and call it religion, and not camouflage it as history.

There's not even any sort of consensus on the rapture idea in Christianity anyway, its just a US thing mostly. Anyway, we all know Jesus said the world would end on 21st December 2012...

The Independent Orange Order is the one I would be most likely to be involved with, they are stricter with the religious side and less on the fanciful ceremonies than the original Orange Lodge.

as i was watching Patton 360, i realized that i knew all this stuff already.
so it seems like the history channel is only good for people who dont know much about history?
this is why i watch the military channel the most.
