<Okay, I agree with you on Galileo. I just don't know of any similar cases> Do a web search... Galileo saved his own skin by recanting... others were burned at the freakin stake. < I don't know of any who have persecuted people over it.> You mean physical persecution as opposed to telling people and teaching (scaring) children those ignorant falsehoods and labeling those who believe otherwise as anti-god, and evil? Besides, you don't have to go back THAT far to find much more elaborate and abusive stuff than that. Certainly not any where NEAR the reformation. DAK
