I dunno... I mean, one big thing to remember - for the longest time, the church was/were the only ones who were able to read and write... it made it very easy (not to mention convenient) to control what the "word of God" was in order to help control the masses... I find it hard to believe that the "bible" as we know it is the original and unadulterated word of God... if only because it is the word of God passed down through HUMAN hands and ears...
If you did not have a hard time with that notion I would give no respect to your thinking.
You will know that the church was instrumental in keeping the population dumbed down back then on reading and everything else.
It was so much easier to lead stupid people instead of smart ones.
Nice morals that for God's representatives.
Sure pissed Galileo off.
