[fyrenza]

What? Did you ever hear of the Ptolemies and the Caesars?

[The Sage of Main Street]

The actual story was passed over for a ridiculously simplified one that fit the agenda of those who hated the Catholic Church well over a century later.

More excusing of the authoritarian irrationalism that ruled your precious medievalism.

Most people get the simplified and thus distorted version. Again, this is why I love reading the work of specialists.

Specious specialists pushing an agenda that reveals their jealous hatred of Renaissance Men of Action.

[The Sage of Main Street]

Nothing lasts forever ...

save Truth.

The pity is? When It's hidden/censored?

We have to REdiscover it. <sigh>

That's why archaeologists should concentrate on discovering these precious lost works. Instead, they are academented self-indulgent escapists. They are crackpots in search of cracked pots.

Most folks realize that there are TWO sides to the story, so regardless of WHICH one you're reading about,

you're wasting your time if you aren't thinking about how the other side could have told the same story.

Just sayin'

In other words, if I don't blindly follow New Age fads, I know nothing about them. Your lack of logic is itself a sign of the 20th Century's irrational authoritarianism.
