Believed Quotes

I have been judged vehemently suspect of heresy, that is, of having held and believed that the sun in the centre of the universe and immoveable, and that the earth is not at the center of same, and that it does move. Wishing however, to remove from the minds of your Eminences and all faithful Christians this vehement suspicion reasonably conceived against me, I abjure with a sincere heart and unfeigned faith, I curse and detest the said errors and heresies, and generally all and every error, heresy, and sect contrary to the Holy Catholic Church. (Quoted in Shea and Artigas 194)

In the south of India, they educated girls. Three things came together in southern India that are unbelievably coincidental. There, the local Maharajas believed in education for everybody. The Syrian Catholic Church built schools for boys and girls. And then the Communist party, which took over politics for a period of time, had very strong social policies that benefited women. As a result, girls got into school. It was the first part of the country where towns could claim to be 100 percent literate. And so there, you're going to have a sex ratio at birth that's normal.

Atheism was an exceedingly rare phenomenon in antiquity: very few people believed there were literally no gods.
The word “atheism” itself, however, simply means “without the gods,” and one could be “without” them while still acknowledging they existed.
...atheism applied more normally to “anyone who rejected or neglected the traditional modes of honoring the gods.”
That is to say, anyone who abjectly refused to participate in the worship of divine beings could be labeled an atheist.
Such a person could expect a good deal of opprobrium and sometimes civil action.
The Christians were often accused of being atheists.
Obviously that was not because they denied the divine realm but because they refused to acknowledge (and act as if) it was inhabited by more than the one being they worshiped and refused to interact with it in traditional ways.
