Well it seems he does grasp the idea that the earth is a "circle"....and that is well ...something. <vbg> It is easy for children to draw circles and pizza pies , but grasping the concept of a "sphere" takes a few more light years... There is not one "evil" thing in the universe , just what is known and unknown , loved and feared , felt and experienced , proved and disproved. But what one believes to be true , which leads one to call other's beliefs and cultures "evil" that have led to the creation of so much beauty and light publicly , demonstrates a very dark , narrow , and unenlightened grasp of reality. This is the same kind of person who blindly and secretly longs for the dark~ages to re-appear . Christianity is but one mode of an evolving expression of man's search for connection to the infinite , which is happening all around him in the present. Some have a hard time even living in the present.... Christopher Columbus discovered the world is round ? That Christianity discovered the Golden Rule ? Or were the first to believe that it is better not to kill ? Or to love thy neighbor ? chuckle.... where does this one get his information from ...a comic book? But it is constantly the role of these zealots to rewrite history as they see fit , since they lack the imagination to just simply seek good. *1 1/2 millenia before columbus , I seem to remember certain Greeks triangulating the distance to the moon with 95% accuracy...and also knowing that the Earth was round .They simply looked up and saw the earth's shadow on the face of the moon during a lunar eclipse. Oh , to have a mind as flat as a pizza pie ! ;-)
