Freethought Nation

Finally, a film about Hypatia

"A historical drama set in Roman Egypt, concerning a slave who turns to the rising tide of Christianity in the hopes of pursuing freedom while also falling in love with his master, the famous female philosophy professor and atheist Hypatia of Alexandria."

"Agora" with Rachel Weisz as Hypatia

How 'historical' this is, is anyone's guess but it's a 'must see'.

Yeah - we always get the excuse with regard to these atrocities, "They weren't Real Christians(TM)".

So what were the 'real Christians' doing all this time? Off praying somewhere?

LMAO! I love the (TM) addition - now that's funny right there!

Me neither - but the trailer makes my blood boil when I see the destruction by Christian fanatics. Watching Hypatia's murder by same will probably set me on a whole new course of pounding that crap out of that deranged cult.

Why suffer from Egyptoparallelophobia, when you can read Christ in Egypt? Try it - you'll like it:

It's incredibly unfortunate what has happened in the past. Yet, even if we look to modern times it seems many societies haven't quite reached the learning curve yet to understanding that information should be free and protected.

We can look to a recent, but still past, example of the Nazi destruction of literature not complementary to the Nazi parties ideologies.

Or something even more recent, yet not official, such as the Australian Government's unfortunate proposal to implement compulsory internet censorship for all Australians - something that wont happen without a fight against it, and you can bet I'll be a part of it.

Controlling access to information, and even more importantly destruction of information, is truly evil.

Aeon Byte Gnostic Radio - Hypatia of Alexandra - (thanks Abraxas!)

February 13 & February 14: Perhaps the last and greatest symbol of all that was bright and wise in the Classic Greco/Roman Era is Hypatia of Alexandria. Not only did Hypatia break so many molds by being a renowned scholar in a civilization where women held few rights, she was admired across the Roman Empire by Pagans, Jews and Christians, sought after by nobles and wisemen of all stripes. A woman of famed beauty and alluring mystique, she was also an unparalleled, mathematician, astronomer, alchemist and philosopher. We explore Hypatia's remarkable life, from the known history to the mythology surrounding her, including her tragic murder that represents the beginning of the Dark Ages and the ultimate victory for Orthodoxy. Is Hypatia a martyr for those seeking freedom and equality, a heroine to freethinkers standing against the agents of intolerance, a Gnostic Saint, or another incarnation of the Divine Feminine Principle? We also present a snapshot of the grim backdrop of her story in a world where the ancient Pagan ways and the rise of Christianity clashed with terrible results that stunted history forever.
