Oh, you mean the Roman Catholic Church. Yeah, I see where they have run thousands of people away because they 1. Molest children and actively protect and promote molesters 2. Are greedy to the point that they won't baptize you or do anything else for you without a donation (for those who don't know, they also commonly require tax returns to know how much money they will require you to pay to them for the privilege of being a member).
They will have to answer for that.
Many Roman Catholic Churches often don't promote actual individual study of the bible. Knowledge is for the people in charge. They will tell you what is right and wrong and you better not question it.
I have known some very good and honorable priests but I think the organization itself is rotten and corrupt.

Sixshooter-There are good and bad people in everything and from everywhere. Is not only the Catholic church, although they take the award on this one. I just dislike the idea that most religions offer the key to salvation by meanings of adopting a doctrine, and thus their ideas. I find it very convenient that unless you accept <Insert name here> as your savior, you will burn in hell. Come on, really?
Most religious people are very prejudiced towards those that don't view things the way they do. Most are unable to respect others beliefs, and often seek conversion into their belief. This prejudice behavior is often encourage by the same congregations, and their priest, pastors, flying spaghetti man, etc...
I believe one must be happy with himself instead of adopting a particular credo with the intention of salvation from eternal damnation. I dont buy the "we hold the key. Join us or perish" idea.
I was born into the Catholic church. I've visited Christian, and other unorthodox congregations and they are all the same bs with different protocols. I just seem to dislike them all

T2 or T3 doesnt really play a role in that. Thats simply the footprint of the flange on the turbo.(unless thats what you meant by it doesnt matter
(...)
It would also help if you let people know what setup you have :turbo, EMS, exh size and style ect..
Thats probably why no one has answered in 4 days.

War is fought for resources more often than any other reason. That has always been the case. People who dislike religion very often cite this baseless phrase, but it is so far from the truth it is an indefensible assertion. Name a couple of wars fought solely for religion.
What is happening in the Middle East is a land ownership squabble and that is all it is. People cite that they are of different religions but that is an excuse and not the reason. They are of different ethnic and cultural descents and even if they were of the same religion they would be fighting for control of the land.
Worldwide, war rates just below measles for cause of death currently. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of..._death_by_rate
