Not sure if anyone ever answered the question legitimately but the answer is the Roman Empire, the Catholic church and European domination of the planet for centuries.

Really? When we first started posting, I stated that we could be friendly with one another (or words to that effect) though we had different beliefs and you absolutely refused. I have friends that are atheists (and a nephew) and friends that are homosexual, male and female. As far as Ghaver's humor, no I don't get it, we don't know one another. BTW, it was an analogy,not humor (according to him, or is that over your head?
Frankly, I would like to have a decent relationship with all of you, you make it difficult for the outsider looking in.......................................... I've thought outside the box until your "humor" got a bit ridiculous.
It was a humorous analogy but both were lost on you. You found more use from it as an insult which only further revealed yourself to others here. Served it's purpose either way...
