[Typo3] Some feedback to TYPO3 marketeers

[Vincent Tietz]

Hi Kasper,

first of all I must say that I very appreciate your work and I think Typo3
is a great thing. But I would also like to state some things concerning this
thread.

I think "having" and "saying" are very different things.

"atheistic propaganda in schools and media"? What do you mean with that?
I've never seen a teacher or show master in TV "praying" something like "Do
not believe in God" or "There's no God", at least in Germany. And this is
what I associate with "religious neutrality". This is not "banning" religion
or "propaganda".

On the other hand there are people who feel impelled to distribute a CMS
packed with religious ambitions. If there were only humanistic purposes it
would be fantastic.

On the other hand, are you able to disprove evolution theory, which is
rather a fact? One could finally say this is some kind of belief and
therefore not discussable. But you can see with your own eyes that evolution
happens right now (e.g. when the virus H5N1 changes). And one can prove that
all Earth's organisms (started from the primordial bacteria 3.8 billion
years ago - much space for complexity) on this planet are related to each
other, all share a common pedigree and a long lineage, and the human is of
course part of it.

How this can be in line with religion, especially what is written down in
Bible is another question.
