Yes. organized religion in general has its flaws, some eggregious, as it is a human creation, but to ignore the benefits it has passed on to us through our history because of these flaws is just mind boggling .

No sir, I did not commit the same act at all. I'm not sure why you would accuse me of that.

Initially reading your post, it appeared to me that you were denying the role that Christianity, particularly Roman Catholicism, played in preserving the knowledge of the ancient greeks and romans along with denying the role that monastaries played in preserving and teaching scholarship. If that is not what you were doing, fine. I withdraw the accusation.

Spoken quite the lawyer.

It's a vicious cycle, I try not to tie anyone of any belief set into the masses, sometimes it's easy or convenient though.. at least once they've presented their case.
