[MD] Galileo and the church

[Horse]

No personal attacks going on here Platt. Just my opinion of your 
position coming from a lack of first-hand knowledge. Video and audio 
reports are second or third hand knowledge. You weren't there so you 
don't know what happened. Neither was I so I don't either. I'm neither 
condemning nor supporting what happened. You're attempting to put words 
in my mouth and assign a position to me that I don't hold but you want 
to pretend that I do. This goes with your emotive terminology and hyperbole.
Your comments say a lot more about you and your motives than they do 
about me.
