The fact is that in 1936 a flame was lit in the temple of z*us and relayed to Germany to illustrate a link between the ancient Greeks and the Nazis (aryans, y'know). Every reference I have ever heard about the olympic flame is that it didn't begin in 1896 as is commonly supposed but in 1936 (though they seldom explain why). I heard this again recently during this olympics. My apologies for my error.
You sure are pissed off about something. Could it be that you don't like religious people who can't see the "self-evident truth" of your own secular philosophy?
Be as secular as you like, but kindly drop all moral hang-ups. You should be grateful that random, meaningless, self-existent universe brought you forth at all rather than trying to shape it according to your groundless ideals.
> Seeing as how you were claiming that the flame was lit in 1896 I don't see what you are crowing about.
Hey, I was wrong. But I wasn't comparing the Olympics to the Nazis.
> You sure are pissed off about something.
I'd suggest finding a convenient mirror, and repeating that phrase there.
> your groundless ideals
Wow, do you actually believe that? How sad.
