Boy did they! One was obsessed with proving philosophically that Muslims were evil. One was obsessed how history apparently proved that the crusades were justified. A couple were cool loner types who just liked hiking and were very worldly. One was obsessed with the history of Latin and how the church went downhill since it stopped being used.
Such a complete and utter waste of time that is distracting people from having any coherent ethical beliefs or politics at all. "Render unto Caesar the things that are Caesar's, and unto God the things that are God's."
