[QUOTE="Wayside, post: 666235, member: 8394"] I think you're sort of missing the point. For example I didn't say I was a classics major (I'm not), I said I was trained in the area of classics, which I imagine anyone who has learned a classical language is. Point being you can't dismiss what people say with 'oh I suppose it depends on which version of history you subscribe to,' the cheesiest of catchalls. Come on. I've dumped girls for less disingenous remarks. See, I get that you are trying to offer another perspective. I'm just waiting to hear it. So far all I've seen of your alleged view amounts to a kid shaking his head saying 'uh-uh uh-uh' coupled with a reference to a Merlin Stone book, which looks to me like a far more seriously radical misreading of the text than you could possibly accuse the oh-so-evil patriarchy of. It's fine to respect new age b.s. like it was old world b.s., but writing history anachronistically backward based on the ridiculous religions people come up with these days is a big faux pas.
