Those countries were backward, poor, largely illiterate, had no outreach to the rest of the world, no colonies or much exploration except for Alaska, N. California, and Siberia.

Sounds like you just described a lot of Roman Catholic countries.

“You continue to argue semantics to avoid the issue that you were wrong. Very Clintonian.”

You continue to claim that different words in different languages are the same thing to avoid the issue that you were very wrong as usual. Very Protestant.

“You can’t even come up with original material.”

I’ll stick with what’s true. You keep inventing things that aren’t true. Drone work.

“LOL. More WINNING!”

More programming.

“Sounds like you just described a lot of Roman Catholic countries.”

Some, certainly, but don’t forget, where are those countries? Latin America. Not “Greek” America - since there is no such thing. Others are in Africa - where there are hundreds of millions of Catholics and where there were no Orthodox south of the Sahara until the last century or so. The Orthodox were in Africa in the Middle Ages. Why did they never get south of the Sahara? Islam.

Thanks for helping to make my case yet again. Luther did indeed helped forge the world we live in. So did the Catholic Church. The Orthodox never even got suited up until the two minute warning.
