after the roman empire fell, the power void was filled by the church... ushering in the "dark ages." devoid of education? serfdom? a segment of the middle ages.
opposite of where this thread is supposed to be going. some of my family ar jehova's, the travel to third world places to perform aid work. commendable... still no fan of religion

Ya but the way you worded it i thought you were using it to dispute the notion that religion/acid was responsible.

my baaaaad. I'm drinking and gave that post almost 1 second of thought before I posted it.
Maybe the 60's and the middle ages still would have kind of happened without religion/LSD, but on a less extreme scale.
