I’m not criticizing you, Norm. And as I said, I got the point of the quote. My only point is that a lot of people believe silly things like “everyone” 500 years ago thought the world was flat. And what bothers me is part of the reason why people believe these things: it is another way that liberals discredit Christianity (Ooh, look what people believed when Christianity reigned).
A lot of what people believe about the Middle Ages simply isn’t true.
I don’t think you’re criticizing me at all. Nor I you. It just seemed like we were going in different directions. My bad ;)
