> there really was no way to supress information on that scale. yes there was. the catholic/orthdox order was highly centralized. the emperors mingled with the clergy and they decided whatever they wanted at the time and could dictate information better than anything of today due to locality. > only when ideas caught lot of support. oh, right, when things got out of a basement and someone tried to spread something interesting. > neither greeks or romans were democratic no one said this. the statement was that greece was the origin of democracy and democratic thought. whereas you said it was enlightenment-thinking. stop misinterpreting the message. > plato saw that there was ordered world, which implies a schematic of some sort, or forms. plato was much more closer to christians than scientist. ??? how is deriving a structured universe and the concept of a creator from the physical world not close to a natural science? how is reading scripture closer to plato?  > plato was initaiated into delphic mysteries, and learned from egyptian priesthood. wow, almost like the underlying philosophies of god and the universe are actually far more ancient and complex. good job admitting this. > alexandria was not burned by the christians, it was actually important place for christian intellectual world. yes it was. multiple times in fact. what is the serapeum?  > killing of people for their views was quite normal for antuquity as well two wrongs don't make a right. > something christians didn't largely do. but they do. you have argued against your own points, while thinking you have argued for them. lol...
