Thanks for remembering Giordano Bruno, a great philosopher. Anyway, I would say that your judgment of religion is based on ignorance. A very common error nowadays among lots of critics. The concepts of religion and church are much deeper than your interpretation. You seem very clever, so please investigate and separate that concepts from your vague idea that responses to a pyramidal organization of authority (which, by the way, any government is) not to faith and divine. Thx again, regards!

In 1992, the catholic church issued a "formal apology" to Galileo (and it wasn't even for forcing him to recant, it was because Galileo realized that some parts of the Bible could be treated "metaphorically). Note that no apology was ever issued to Bruno.

@BTIsaac If you've read his writings then burning him was a bit redundant. Afterall Bruno died once but the church stays on the evil-stupid spectrum forever.

@AnonymousElektron "Authority doesn't need to explain or justify itself to you, it only needs your obediance".Who needs the Milgram Experiment with individuals like you on the loose.

@ZJemptv People were superstitious because that's the way human nature is. People can't explain it, so they are afraid of it. And the things everyone fear are obviously evil. Most 'horror' stories existed long before Christianity did, as people were afraid of many things in Pagan times. If anything, the Church did their best abolishing superstition by educating people in schools, but many superstitious beliefs survive even today. These days, such beliefs are shunned among educated Christians.

@BTIsaac This seems circular. The church *had* to burn witches because these superstitious idiots wanted them to? Well, why were those idiots so superstitious? What made them think, for example, that there are all these witches that need to be burned? Perhaps it was the church's public examples of... burning witches?

@ZJemptv Of course that's not saying the church can't get a bit too comfortable in their position of authority. That's why Luther wanted to reform it. In fact I know a number of Catholic priests who think the same way. |
