I just think the world would be really interesting without it.


Much less developed, for one.

How did the religion speed up world development? Are you referring to spread of technology and ideas through conflict/conquest?


No, I am referring to how the Renaissance came about.

He must be talking about a different plague, but I'm not sure which one, either. *NM* Legolas - 07/04/2010 01:37:32 AM 381 Views
