- Of course it's not accidental. Christianity covered such a large area of the
- globe--due to such events as killing or converting those who were not
- Christian--that you shouldn't be surprised if _anything_ arose there, even if
- it wasn't the best place for it to arise.

- Do the words "Dark Ages" mean anything to you?
