Not too familiar with history, are we? In reality, without the labor of celibate, monastic monks, we wouldn't have much of anything. They're the ones who preserved knowledge over the centuries before the printing press.

The above is so overflowing with ignorance that it’s hard to know where to start. First, where did the monks come from? Spontaneous combustion? Second, ya ever hear of the Arabs? The Chinese? You know, other cultures that had vibrant civilizations while Europe was a cesspit?

Then there was that Jew, Jesus. Last I heard, he didn't have any kids either. Perhaps you'd like to ignore his contributions as well.

Yet—Jesus had parents. He didn’t spring from a hole in the ground (well, he did, but after death, not before birth.) And, apparently you didn’t read the Da Vinci Code.

Scourge of God, eh? You're the chosen carrying of the whip, then? That's good to know. Someone needs to carry on with the tradition of mindless punishments in the name of God, I suppose.

A final bit of ignorance. If you’ve never heard of Attila the Hun, perhaps you don’t have what it takes to post on this forum. You’d be more comfortable at DU, most likely.
