Whoops, commented in the wrong article.
I am still having flashbacks of the photo that was on my page! I can't think. Ewwww.
Sorry.
I love the last quote, too. I think it's ridiculous that the church didn't apologize sooner and admit they were wrong to Galileo. I guess anyone claiming to have personal contact with a God has to pretend they are always right about everything, huh?
