1. Revolution rarely "tears everything down and starts again from ground level"

2. Politicians rarely cause anything revolutionary in OUR modern society

3. I wish you would take such a relaxed view towards all religious aspects as you do towards christmas, you're a bit winey most of the time.

@FairPhilip There is no middle ground between truth as it actually is and the lies that call themselves Higher Truth.

Religion is acceptable as a hobby, if it keeps within the law and respects the rights of citizens, in the same way as auto-erotic asphyxiation or collecting Nazi memorabilia. It should not be respected or seen as normal or healthy and it definitely should not be offered to minors.

Oh, please, music can influence people by spreading ideas. Individuals can have their ways of thinking revolutionized or at least their horizons sigifigantly broadened by music and film and literature. It can inspire. Media can often have a revolutionary and/or liberalizing effect on many individuals who may make up movements and constituents or mobs that CAN influence society.

@ThirdRAILKink Who taught you that and what instrument did he play?

[BaileysBeads]

The "war on christmas" is mostly fabricated so the religious have something to feel indignant about.

@aaugoaa Vicarious sacrifice is an evil concept. Atoning for somebody else's sins with a blood sacrifice is a sick idea, even more twisted is the idea that God needs to become man to be punished for the mythical sin committed by a totally mythical Adam.

Immortals can't be killed, it is in the job description, suffering doesn't buy favour from the universe. It's all magical thinking, superstitious hokum, and it is all clearly fictional.

@aaugoaa im pretty sure reading the fantasy novel, the bibel, inspired Shakespears fantasy.

@FairPhilip my mother encouraged me also to honesty, forgiveness, tolerance and important virtues. But she didn't have to invent some invisible thingy in the sky to make scared so i follow them, she was smart enough to be able to explain why those things are better without any fairytales around it.

@ThirdRAILKink Of course you believe modern media is the holy grail. It's all you know. Liberalizing effect isn't always so good. I do love what us oldies have inspired you people to achieve. Don't think you figured it out for your self. Peace.

@MartinJWillett Christian or Islamic teaching encourage honesty, forgiveness, tolerance and important virtues. Teach young children this can only be a good thing.

Religion is not anything like a hobby, as for example vegetarianism is not.

It is obviously quite normal and quite healthy, like masturbation (to give an example of a similar level of needless pornographic imagery as auto erotic asphyxiation)

@neitilinvandring If I want to read it I will read it. I won't ever want it read at me. The price wasn't an issue, I mentioned it merely to underline just how available it was.

Wise people thank those who correct them. Fools react as if a correction was a wounding insult. Always say thank you when you are corrected (assuming the correction is valid), those who intended to help receive the thanks they deserve, those who intended to belittle receive what they deserve as well.

@MartinJWillett One of you point was price. I pointed out that you can get it for free on audio books from Torrentz. I don't care about grammar on youtube as long as every one understand. You care more about grammar, as you have proven here, than the fact that you can get it for free. If you only read then there are some PDF's out there. Also free.

[neitilinvandring]

@GhostOfMisterRogers It is youtube, and English grammar lessons is not what I'm looking for when I give some information about how to get one of the important books in world history for free.
