Quotations

"All the war-propaganda, all the screaming and lies and hatred, comes invariably from people who are not fighting." 

George Orwell

"The Christians love one another. They never fail to help widows; they save orphans from those who would hurt them. If a man has something, he gives freely to the man who has nothing. If they see a stranger, Christians take him home and are happy, as though he were a real brother. They don't consider themselves brothers in the usual sense, but brothers instead through the Spirit of God. And if they hear that one of them is in jail, or persecuted for professing the name of their redeemer, they all give him what he needs. If it is possible, they bail him out. If one of them is poor and there isn't enough food to go around, they fast several days to give him the food he needs. This is really a new kind of person. There is something divine in them."

Aristides, who was seeking to suppress Christianity, in a letter to the Emperor Hadrian. Aristides then converted to Christianity and is a saint in the Catholic and Orthodox calendars.

The modern Republican Party exists mainly to cut corporate taxes, “support Israel,” and sustain a self-propagating media and professional class network to swindle regular Americans into thinking it defends their interests by dishing out a constant supply of Culture War nonsense
