Reply #16: Right. Was there never one or more persons who took a stand against religious & economic slavery?

[patrice]

Persons who could feel and be inspired by Truth the same way we are?

Some with higher degrees of "success", i.e. noteriety, in affecting others, and some less well known . . .

Could these kinds of persons not have been arrested and tortured or killed for getting folks all riled up about the way things are (whether they actually intended to overthrow the Church-State or not)?

Some of us, including me, may have a problem with what has been done to The Bible and that there EMPTY (= indeterminant!!!) tomb, but just because there's a lot of people running around saying, in effect, 2 + 2 = 10, that doesn't make 2 + 2 = 4 wrong.
