    You might get some flak for that one.

Thou hast dared to mock me, and to question the power of Melkor, master of the fates of Arda. Therefore with my eyes thou shalt see, and with my ears thou shalt hear; and never shall thou move from this place until all is fulfilled unto its bitter end". -Tolkien

    I agree with Deus Ex, the churches were propaganda. A lot of the time they were in a town to exploit (the paying for a seat in heaven that Martin Luther opposed) or brainwash the citizens (crusades, anti-muslim/protestant/jew speahces or sermons).
