I suppose we should destroy the Parthenon and the Pantheon because they were built to honor pagan gods.

The people who built these structures didn't know that they were pagans, any more than the people who lived before Noah realized that they were antediluvian.

I suppose that the poster I responded to would have us ignore the existence of anything of historical/archaeological value that was not a church or a temple built by Christians or Jews-in other words, willful ignorance. The beauty of historical landmarks, structures is not about what the builders believed, but the fact that they built them at all-it is a tribute to the intelligence and talent of humans, in my opinion.

Gobekeli Tepi (sp?) and some other sites are 11,000+ years old-those people obviously practiced some form of “paganism”, but no one is suggesting we should ignore those sites because of that-ridiculous...
