how sad that during the dark ages,when europe was in a fundamentalist stranglehold it was the nations of islam which had created the most egalitarian societies at that point in history.

humanity also owes islam a thanks for saving a portion of the library of alexandria,mathmatics specifically.

1500 years later fundamentalism is once again attempting to choke humanity into submission.a rigid and backward interpretation of biblical texts which in their time were meant to free humanity is now used to enslave humanity.

why a fundamentalist (choose your flavor) would dismiss such a rich history and which gave us so much art,science and culture.(lets remember the first schools and hence the first scientists were religious).this just boggles my mind.

to defend certain text just because YOU have given it supreme authority and to deviate even a micron,even if overwhelming evidence to the contrary is provided,is just a failure of imagination.sadly the fundamentalist sees any disagreement with biblical text as somehow refuting god,so they are forced to defend the indefensible.
