It would be interesting to find out how much change might have occurred in two short years. I was surprised to find just how many groups popped up when I googled missionary teams to East Germany. I can't help but wonder what sort of influence they had.

I don't know what the facts in the article would be considered "irrelevant" of, however.

I think it's a little weird that 20-odd years after Germany was united, it's still being called East Germany and West Germany. But I suppose, there are different regions of other countries, so why not?

If you think about it the Berlin wall fell in the 80's that relatively not all that long ago in the scope of history.

What's your point in commenting on such "rubbish"?

Some people enjoy seeing that others are also disbelievers in stone age myths.
