Sorry, Elianna, I'll be quiet in a minute.

Neurion, I just wanted to know where you got your sources. All the sources I've reviewed (including an article from Encarta Encyclopedia I looked up quickly to make sure my statements were correct) say the opposite. Especially about the Inquisition, which I have always read was big on torturing the "truth" out of its prisoners, then burning them at the stake. And as for avoiding them by decairing oneself non-Christian, I have always read that they went after "Secret Jews" first.

Again, I never said that the level of violence or deathtoll was greater than today. Just that the violent mentality was compariable to that of our day.

But, I'd like to know your sources! If, as you say, my view of history is "tainted" by Hollywood, I'd like to know!

Will do, SPM! No more Inquisition discussion, only physics!
