By that i mean that my school had good ratings and was considered to have a very good program. However if you read my post you can see that i did not boldly state that i had a better education than everyone else.
Also what proof do you have for the Dark Ages having anything to do with religion ? How can you say that without religion they wouldnt have happened ? It is too easy to state that.
In France, at the start of the Renaissance era, the King considered himself appointed by God, essentially blending Church and State together. But this period also saw the expansion of science, medicine and art.
Sure - I do not know these things for sure. However, it is a fact, that the catholic church played a major role in keeping down people from the roman empire until now, basically. It was at least USED by the Rulers. This is no proof of what I said, but I think it renders it highly likely.
Don't you also want to comment on your statement that telling people a lie is justified in the case of religion?
