I have just found some quotes by Laurence Stern (24 November 1713 – 18 March 1768 an Irish novelist and an Anglican clergyman) which perfectly describe party politics and other polarising dogma.
"It is in the nature of an hypothesis, that once a man has conceived it, that it assimilates everything to itself, as proper nourishment; and, from the first moment of your begetting it, it generally grows stronger by everything you see, read, hear, or understand."
"It is a great pity but tis certain from every day's observation of man, that he may be set on fire like a candle, at either end, provided there is a sufficient wick standing out."
and "'Tis known by the name of perseverance in a good cause, and of obstinacy in a bad one" or perhaps, of perseverance if you concur, of obstinacy if you don't.
How do you acknowledge Easter.
Is there anyone who still thinks that Israel's actions in Gaza are justifiable?
