That’s not the question I asked you. My question is: How many men, women and children did he kill or even strike with the whip? You simply ignored it. The answer is none; zero. The answer to your question is in the billions.

I’m 30 pages into the book and confident that @Armour of God and @Wrangler haven’t read it.

From my X / Twitter “For you” feed on this sunny afternoon - “Hilaire Belloc on the loss of religion: ’When a people lose their religion, they do not merely lose a set of beliefs; they lose the framework within which their whole life was lived, and they are left exposed to every wind of...

That I need to hold this sign in front of non-Christians is sad. That I need to hold this sign in front of Christians is sadder still @Wrangler and @Armour of God *** Don’t kill Christians, Christians. Don’t kill non-Christians, Christians. If we can ever clear that Christian hurdle, then...
