But their veracity of presence in the threads create a lingering presence, in which we all bask, thus their spirit is always here.

No, but at least try to cover up the fact that all you are is a way for the upper class to control the peasantry and the catalyst for that was a dude wanting to bone someone else

Had nothing to do with peasantry. The pope had the nerve to not annul his marriage.

Or the Protestants, let's not pretend you weren't used for the same purpose. All religions were

Reminds me of a quote from a previous thread;

I was walking across a bridge one day, and I saw a man standing on the edge, about to jump. I ran over and said: "Stop. Don't do it."
"Why shouldn't I?" he asked.
"Well, there's so much to live for!"
"Like what?"
"Are you religious?"
He said, "Yes."
I said, "Me too. Are you Christian or Buddhist?"
"Christian."
"Me too. Are you Catholic or Protestant?"
"Protestant."
"Me too. Are you Episcopalian or Baptist?"
"Baptist."
"Wow. Me too. Are you Baptist Church of God or Baptist Church of the Lord?"
"Baptist Church of God."
"Me too. Are you original Baptist Church of God, or are you Reformed Baptist Church of God?"
"Reformed Baptist Church of God."
"Me too. Are you Reformed Baptist Church of God, Reformation of 1879, or Reformed Baptist Church of God, Reformation of 1915?"
He said: "Reformed Baptist Church of God, Reformation of 1915."

I said: "Die, heretic scum!" and pushed him off.
