No they haven't. I can be argued that the only people who were wealthy enough to PAY for works of Art, Literature and Poetry WERE religion...in particular the Roman Catholic Church. aka "make it Religious and deifying my belief system or a0 you don't gwet paid b) You get thrown into prison or c) you get burned for a heretic. ..... either way you ARE DEAD!

Certainly, so NOW you are saying that misogyny, hatred, abuse, mental and physical persecution.... not to mention the elitist attitude that you claim by "praying" to some non-existent entity that ALLOWS you to feel privileged whilst thousands suffer because of your ineptitude and inaction... this is great??

Because you don't want to..this is part and parcel of your "Bully boy" attitude, your elitism and the perpetuation of YOU being "Special" in your own eyes.
