No. What you do have to remember is that you could be imprisoned, beaten, or maybe killed for being a heretic. Galileo was treated pretty badly if I remember my history. You had to mold your findings into a christian mind set or they would FUCKING KILL YOU!!! Religion is an old thought from an old and outdated world. It was a a step in the evolution of the human mind...and it failed. Let it go. |
