The Holy Bible, probably the most diabolical work of fiction ever to be visited upon mankind.

An it harm none, do what you will; an it harm some, do what you must!

Shhhhh. He doesn't know what it means.
Pain, or damage, don't end the world. Or despair, or fucking beatings. The world ends when you're dead. Until then, you got more punishment in store. Stand it like a man, and give some back. - Al Swearengen, Deadwood.

Read some of the link, noticed another poster telling you that you don't have the slightest idea about secularism Vlad, apart from that I didn't think it was worth spending any time on such a rambling newspaper article, especially when it was from the guardian, I detest that paper.

Well Aida is cultural appropriation, as is Joseph and the Amazing Technicolour Dreamcoat. The question is whether cultural appropriation is bad. I think it is obviously not bad.

With respect to Vlad's title, I am a secularist and I think the censoring of the phrase "children of Israel" is ridiculous. The whole musical is based on a Jewish myth. If you have a problem with that, do something else, like Jesus Christ Superstar.... oh, wait.
