Your description proclaims your ignorance of that which you dismiss so flippantly. Dangerous if taken literally? Yes that's right people would start not reacting to violence with violence, would leave part of their profits for the poor, would treat everyone how they would want to be treated. That would be so dangerous wouldn't it? Much better to live in this dog eat dog world with no hope, no knowledge of a God of love who desires communication and relationship, no indication of a more harmonious way of living. Let's keep, on warring, hating, retaliating and self centred living and all the other parts of human nature we love.

But whatever you do don't read the "novel" before you criticise it will you?

Yorick, if you ever lead some kind riots or movement. i will be a religious freak and follow you
