THE MOTHER OF THE WORLD... DIE DIE DIE hahaha

[bluemeany]

Where the hell is the rest if the show! WTF!

[eplemannen]

The Dark Ages weren't called that because life was particularily crap at the time. They're called that because so little was written down at the time.

[Colleptic]

Exactly correct, in the west that is.

[ossumguywill]

@eplemannen yes, creative art and things like writing were being supressed at the time, by organizations like the christian church.

[eplemannen]

No. The church was responsible for what little writing and art there was at the time.

[ossumguywill]

@eplemannen lol sure but they stopped everyone but the rich and religious officials from writing... it's like saying the man who builds a fallout shelter and nukes the world is responsible for saving humanity.

[eplemannen]

Wrong. First of all, you're assuming that people were writing more before Christianity came along. Actually, not much was being written at all. Secondly, you're in the wrong era. During most of the Dark Ages, much of Europe was still pagan and the church wasn't as powerful as it became later.

[SubaruSama]
