Abandoned by Calvin, Servetus was burned in October of 1553, along with all the copies of his book that could be found in Geneva. In 1723, Richard Mead, then physician to the King of England, attempted to publish Servetus work. The printing was confiscated and both Mead and his printer jailed. Arius, Servetus, their work banned, and yet, today, there are Christians that accept it. Go to Church every Sunday and pray with it as a basis to their faith.
People burn books, and other people, but they have yet to burn an idea.
