Please don't spark religious flamewars on HN. We don't want those here.

This is a factual account of a single woman changing her mind about holy orders, approximately 700 years ago. I can't imagine why you'd read it as an attack on religion.

I mean, I'm Christian and I'm saying this. If your idea of religious tolerance is that no one should ever repeat anything negative associated with any church, you maybe need to give that some serious thought.

Sometimes a funny little anecdote can be just that, and not an attempt to demolish one's spiritual centre.

You mean like the Dark Ages?

Wait, are you saying religion-haters have valid strong claims just that they are picking weak examples?

Odd choice of words if so
