I meant it as a reference to the Lamb. Lamb=Christ=Christian. Silence of the Christians, Silence of the Lambs. But Lecter is more of an angel of death.

Why do people misspell it as 'Lector'?

So was I. Lecter was the great shepard of all the sheep. He was particularly good at sending the lambs to slaughter.
As for spelling, lector is better sounding than lecter for a horror character.

Yeah, but 'Lecter' sounds more normal. And hence more terrifying when you know his real nature. 'Bundy', 'Berkowitz', 'Kemper', they're all normal names attached to abnormal people.

Oh true. But i like to convey an element of gore when talking about movies. Plus it gives people an idea what to expect.

That is a rather naive way of thinking.

Now for the only flat world I'd allow, the Discworld.

Ancient Greek measurement of the circumference of a circular earth (accurate within 10%) pre-dates Christ, so a Christian bible claiming the earth was flat would be laughable.

Would you like to point out any specific contradictions to those passages in the bible. Your arguement is like me saying "its on the internet, somewhere". I dont particuarly want to read a bucket of creationist propaganda, i would like facts. Thank you.
