Technology was Religion's Bitch

Alright, well, I think you guys are somewhat right. The church went through a period of fear; it felt threatned. They went through a dark time. Men, are weak. They are messed up. The church, at heart, is not what men make it out to seem. There is something deeper, something that so many constantly overlook. All of this stuff, about the church, that has come to pass in it's history, is not from God. It is not what he had intended. I, as well as those who hold onto what the church is supposed to be, are struggling even amongst our own to make God's plan for catholicism awaken into reality.

I would be scared too if someone was proving ideas and theories that directly conflict with the teachings I use to control a very large number of people.

True enough.

I haven't looked deeply into religions other than basic Christianity, however Christians were taught since Genesis that seeking wisdom was a sin (Adam & Eve + Magic Fruit Tree). The Church encouraged ignorance by maintaining that the only thing important in life is to love and fear your God.

Their old habit of making hard-line statements regarding how things work (world is flat, everything rotates around Earth, etc) didn't help matters either. I'm curious how fast they can rewrite doctrine to keep up with the times before enough people just say that they've had enough.

I'll probably be around for a while, so no need.
