Actually, it's kind of interesting...
As their new monothesitic god/savior/prophet is just under 1400 years old now, if you put that to Christian and Western timelines, that would put them in the ends of our dark ages. When our religion ruled and took advantage of everyone and everything. Was more powerful than the monarchies. Just like their cleric run the leaders now...
It's actually remarkably similar. That's why even though it really bugs me, and yeah it's evil and wrong, I hate people saying that they are dumb or stupid or we know so much better. Cause really their just doing what the west did.
Also, they had a similar golden age before monothesitic religion took over, much like the golden age in Greece where they had technologies and freedoms that we've just eclipsed over the last 150 years or so.
People are just people. Not making excuses for them. Just saying, take a good look at yourself in the mirror. There's not a whole lot of difference between you and those clerics down there. I can admit it.
We all have to help each other.
