[quote=gamer5] Knowing how to write (and read) is being literate - and the Church did their best to keep the secrets of writing and reading to themselves for a long period of time.Most of the things I know from Wikipedia, ordinary encyclopedia and history books. All can be checked on Wikipedia.I doubt that anyone here is attacking religion - hell I care if you believe in God or that cows are sacred animals - all we ask is that you don't bring any religious beliefs into government(s). Is that to much to ask? [/quote] You must be new here. Your assertion, your evidence. Anyway, yes, that is too much to ask. You are basically asking me to check my morality at the door. Why is yours any better?
