RELIGION AND SUPPRESSION OF FREE THINKING
Mind control
Training Handout
Just because belief is thinking, does not mean no one tried to control people's thoughts
The bishops of Rome clearly felt threatened
by the Hindu concept of Nirvana.
They did not like even to put a positive
name to the concept of nothingness.
That is why our present calendar does
not have a year zero; the year before 1 AD (CE) is the year 1 BC
(BCE).
It was deemed to be heresy to use
the number zero, indeed to use the so called Arabic numeral system, the
one we use today.
Zero was not invented by the Arabs,
but by Hindu aristocrats, Brahman scholars, and then Arab traders adopted
it and brought it to Europe.
Europeans were forbidden by the Christian
Church to use any number system other than Roman Numerals, which has no
zero.
