Yes, I'm one of them. Blessed Be!
I think those are jets. Maybe F-16's
It was so because Christians had an unhealthy power over the workings of the humanity as we know it, such as with the calendar, and what you just mentioned. The church was the law, and that governed science at the time. At some point, science departed from religion and changed dramatically. Christians demanded dominion in all things, upon pain of death. Hence, the dark ages.

big butt and breasts look good on a lot of women, but sometimes less is more. It depends on the girl.
I'll see you on the battlefield, christian...bwahahahaha
Some people who have near-death experiences speak of seeing a "white light", but that may be certain parts of the brain involved with conciousness firing erratically as the brain dies. I do believe in spirit, but does mind = spirit? Mind is electrical, and when the power is shut off and the network goes down, the electricity may not hang around(and I'm not talking about SSDs and Flash Memory so stfu already, lol). Ok though, if the mind is electric, then what is spirit? Maybe its a form of radiation?
If the US were communist, I bet there would be a maximum wage.
I'll admit that I do put all Christians in the same bag. But they have a habit of doing the same with every other religion. Everything else is the devil's work isn't it. Yours is the only true religion, isn't it?? I'd be happy if christians would acknowledge that there are other paths of truths besides theirs. It takes many colors to make a rainbow. But the problem doesn't lie with the christians themselves, the problem lies in their teachings. Another problem is that there is so much good in those teachings that the bad things are just accepted as truth with the rest of it. I can also accept that christians believe thier way to be true, just as I have faith in mine. But the difference is, I don't consider mine to be the only one. Each person has thier own path, and that truth is subjective, and belongs to the individual. Many people can also share in that truth, and I acknowledge that as well.
I'm still angry about what your people did to mine, but we are coming back. We won't let the old ways be lost.
You shouldn't expect a sensible answer for that question, especially here. LOL
