The saddest part of this story is that it's not even shocking anymore. I find it quite comical. How can man continue to hurt and kill others in the name of "God"? Let's put this one on pay perview "Sepulcher Smack-Down!" I'd bet on the Greek Monk with the really bling cross on.

If it wasn't so obscene, it would be hilarious. Two relgious sects going at each other's throats like it was; "West Side Story" with the 'Sharks' and the 'Jets'! Truly astounding to say the least! I'm apalled, and disgusted by all this!

I think it's been on its way for a long, long time. It's always been "My God is better than your God," "My God is the only true God," "I have more right to that cross than you do," "I have more right to Jerusalem than you do," "I will go to heaven, but all of you will go to hell," etc.

I actually don't have a problem with them duking it out, if they can't work things out in a civilized way, go ahead and kick and punch EACH OTHER, just think of how cool it would be for people, especially the leaders of countries to have to fight each other amongst themselves instead of starting wars and such where many innocent people are hurt and killed. Keep it in your group and leave others alone!!!
