Re: COC Songs

Sounds absolutely awful. Like Jeremy Bentham's "panopticon." Lev Bentham sound quite unusual especially his auto-icon. He had his body preserved and on display. The head has been replaced by an artist's sculpture as the original is disgusting.. He sits in this wooden case visible. He is l...

Re: Early Christianity

If you detect a vicious defense check for lies. For instance you might hear that Baptists don't study th...
