There was a posting on the topic of Religion recently, using the same trite, twisted, and totally untrue statement claiming that the Church tried to convince people that the earth was flat, long after other free-thinking societies had proven otherwise.  Why is it that such ridiculous lies get repeated as if they were facts in order to support someone's anger over someone else exercising a fundamental right in our society.   Freedom of Religion is what brought syphilis and smallpox and smallminded people like that to this great land to begin with; and those who stand firm in their faith, have always been overly tolerant with the angry Atheists.

Since higher education as well as basic educational skills were all founded by religious-thinkers, (i.e. all of the first Universities were founded by Christians in this Country;  and, Reading, Writing and Arithmetic began by, and for the purpose of theological development): why break the trend?  Listen up all ye angry Atheists, and maybe you'll learn something.

The first two books ever written were Job and Isaiah.  Both of those books make very clear statements in their original texts referring to "the circle of the earth;" "the earth suspended on nothing;" and one of the most impressive: "God saw fit to hang the North over the empty place."  It wasn't many years ago that a telescope was even invented that allowed the amazing "discovery" of the Void behind the North Star, and yet those religious people that seem to piss you off so badly, knew about it and other wonders of Science and Astronomy 750 - 1500 years before Christ was born.  Christians, Jews, and all those "religious" people in general are not part of the "Flat-Earth Society," that philosophy originated from the free-thinkers of non-Judeo-Christian studies.

So rather than sitting around being angry with people for having a true understanding, here's an idea:  they built you schools and colleges, why not pull your head out of your behind, clear up your tunnel-vision and read a book, or just read The Book.  It's got some great tips on anger-management.
