Modern Thinking...

...in ancient times.

"All formal dogmatic religions are fallacious and must never be accept by self-respecting persons as final."

"Reserve your right to think, for even to think wrongly is better than not to think at all."

Hypatia of Alexandria c. 380 - 415

Mathematical genius, natural philosopher, astronomer, Hypatia was the last Chief Librarian of the Great Library before its destruction. Much loved and respected by the citizens, she was murdered by being flayed alive at the hands of a Christian mob. They were acting on the orders of the bishop of the city who was jealous of her popularity and hated her femininity.

Whatever the religion espoused, some things never seem to change...
