Pagan Tolerance? [Spirituality & Religion]

When Aristarchus of Samos proposed the the first known heliocentric model of the solar system, the Greeks were like, "Meh."

When Galileo said it though, the medieval European were all, "You want to end up like Giordano Bruno?" (Burned at the stake)And locked him into house arrest for the rest of his life.

It wasn't pagans that condemned Galileo. It was the Roman Catholic Church.
