| ManusJustus said: The Catholic Church put Galielo on trial for, in the Church's own words, "holding as true the false doctrine taught by some that the sun is the center of the world." Then you come out and say something else that is sadly wrong, that Islam doesn't treat women as second class citizens. I actually studied Islam, and every school of thought gives the same bullshit that woman aren't unequal, they just have a different role. The husbands makes all decisions, the husband can have up to four other wives to dilute whatever minimal domestic role his wife already has, women cannot have any religious leadership role, women cannot have a political role in an Islamic government, and so forth. Yeah, and before the Civil War slaves weren't second class citizens, they just have different roles... |
Yeah, nice job trying to dodge the fact that you've been proven completely and utterly wrong by trying to start the whole Islam debate.
You've already proven yourself completely unlearned on the Galieo subject, even to the point of where you didn't know what the book in question was about.
He eventually was charged with hersay because he had not proof. You could only be charged with hersay if you had none. If you had actual scientific proof there was nothing the church could do to you. (Legally.)
Once again, I say read the book, or the accounts... or heck, a historian's accounts. Or hell, the Wikipedia page. (as bad as wikipedia can be.)
It's amusing how you apparently scanned through it, oblivious to all info and context until you got to a sentence you liked. Even though pretty much every sentence and paragraph above it proved you wrong. You'd make a great politician/lobbiest/creationist.
Which is why you so often make mistakes like this. You only look for things that support your world view.
It's so much easier to not have a world view, and take things as they are.
