And it readily brings the famous Nazareth's evangelist to mind- Jesus Christ.
Considering the 6 stages of his blasphemy trials between Religious and Roman courtrooms (especially, the burdened denial of right and wrong between Herod and Pilate).
And contrasting that unfortunate crisis of conscience greeted by the reported mob justice with how many billion people today follow a religion borne of Christ's personality, it just reinforces one thing Mark Twain endeavored to deliver as important message in that essay:
"Think for yourself."
- rdancer 11y agoI like how on an article about crowd conformity and how certain thoughts may come to be frowned upon, your comment gets downvoted because it's Christian.
- wrecktangle 11y agoTry your very best. Read that comment until understanding gives way. You should realize that the comment whiffs of a lack of religion. Unless of course you delight in dissension for the sake of its inanity.
- rdancer 11y agoYour comment talks about the Good News, and does that with respect to the reader. It has hope that people may read it and consider it. And you call him "Christ" Love-hope-faith + evangelizing + acceptance of Jesus for what he claims he is => your comment couldn't be more Christian. What am I missing?

- wrecktangle 11y agoGood News? What does that mean? You are better off with discernment if you read a remark or a book from start to finish before you make a call for judgment. Again, here's the single news I undertook to broadcast with respect to the reader: "...it just reinforces one thing Mark Twain endeavored to deliver as important message in that essay: "Think for yourself"....."
- rdancer 11y agoSpreading the Good News means talking about who Jesus is and what he's done[1]. It's what Christians do. [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_gospel https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_gospel
