I can think of places to sit for a better view.

There was an internet error that had the forum down. As well as my thesaurus app. Weird.

CloudFlare was acting up. Some sites I could reach, this one not until now.
If you get to thinking you’re a person of some influence, try ordering somebody else’s dog around.

Yeah, most of the internet being dependent on one service is great when that service shits itself and nothing at all works any more.
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
