[Serious] Giordano Bruno

[Belacqua]

And you also said 'other times, other customs', which is nothing more or less than an attempted exoneration of reprehensible behavior.  The Church could have imprisoned Bruno.  They could have forbidden the publication of any of his writings on pain of excommunication (which still carried some weight). They could have banned him from Italy.  They could have banished him from Europe altogether.  But they chose to set him on fire.  And your excuse for them doing so was that Bruno was a very naughty boy.

No, it is not "nothing more or less than an attempted exoneration." 

It is an acknowledgment that people in the bad old days used harsher punishments than we do now. I do not approve of them. 

I agree that all of the other punishments you list would have been better. 

Please do not put words in my mouth. I am not excusing burning as punishment.

What's asserted without evidence can be dismissed without evidence. 

By all means dismiss my facts .But unfortunately that doesn't change reality  

So everything you've written here means nothing.

Too you i imagine it wouldn't . But unfortunately that doesn't change reality  

Provide citations for you claims or go away, please.

To whom am i doing this for ? You ? Tim? Who am i trying to convince ?


And your request is denied .Now about that cream 

That's fine.

I didn't expect you would be able to offer evidence or logical argument. 

You use unsupported assertion and personal insult. That's the kind of person you are.
