Synopsis

Twenty-five hundred years ago, the ancient Greeks tended the glowing fires of human intellect and rational thought with all that this new order promised for future civilizations. Yet, not 500 miles away, careful plans were unfolding to wrench this fledgling group of enlightened thinkers back to the mire of fear and superstitious belief.The plan was a success. A regime was established upon the dream of a perfect society from which all but the perfect would be excluded. It was to be controlled by priests whose livelihood depended upon taxation of the governed. Less than 500 years later, that regime produced a bastard organization neither Jewish nor Greek, but with the power to enslave the entire Western worldChristianity.And we are not free from it, yet!
