unneeded comment.

History will have to record that the greatest tragedy of this period of social transition was not the strident clamor of the bad people, but the appalling silence of the good people. Martin Luther King

Re: Perhaps a good analogy

I call them, "fictional" because as far as I can tell, I have to imagine these things existed.

You have ancestors that lived during the time that Christ walked the earth, but you don't have any idea of their names, appearances, etc. You can only imagine them. Does that make them fictional? Of course not.

Re: Perhaps a good analogy

If you had relatives that lived in Europe at that time period, you are a direct descendant of everyone in Europe that has a direct descendant.

Surely this is not the case. You are not a direct descendant of your own siblings regardless of how many children they have. And it is unlikely that you would be the direct descendant of any sibling of your grand parents or your aunts and uncles. Are you sure you are saying what you meant to say here? Is it instead that you are direct descendants of all of those old Europeans from 1 AD?
