It’s a pretty big stretch to go from taking down a statue of Robert E. Lee to burning Shakespeare in the town square.


No it’s not. This article is from 2016.

SUMMARY: Yale university circulated a student petition to stop teaching Chaucer and Shakespeare bc they were white guys.

Study Christianity and ask yourself why it's different than all other religions.


Of course you believe your religion (or the one you are more familiar with) is the best and true religion. of the land.

That's the case for every religion/cult/following.

What's your favorite piece by Mozart and why?


Fantasia in D Minor
It’s fun to play. Haunting melody. The free form nature of the Fantasia allows exploration of lyric and melody without the structure of a sonatina.

Nothing edgy just giving you all the lay of the land. It’s the same as politics. What was once consider ok by the extreme right wing is no longer acceptable. What was once consider extreme left leaning is now common everyday occurrence

I’ll give Christianity one thing tho—they are willing to adapt and change with the times. Not sure if that’s a good or bad thing considering it’s suppose to be a set in stone religious doctrine. But many accept the changes—cherry pick with they like from the religion and move on. I mean there are over 100 different secs of Christianity so very easy to pick whichever branch works for you.

Christianity is very “whatever works for you”
