Plato on the deforestation of Greece:
καθάπερ ἐν ταῖς σμικραῖς νήσοις, πρὸς τὰ τότε τὰ νῦν οἷον νοσήσαντος σώματος ὀστᾶ, περιερρυηκυίας τῆς γῆς ὅση πίειρα καὶ μαλακή, τοῦ λεπτοῦ σώματος τῆς χώρας μόνου λειφθέντος.

@nonregemesse The early church, when beautiful polytheistic Temples only survived by being converted into a Church to save it from being looted and torn down by Christians:
Wait until abrahamics find out there is no messiah coming to rescue them from the chaos they have brought to this world with their apocalypse fetish and blind faith.
@AnnaSegerstedt Du måste förstå att kristendomen är en religion som definitivt erbjuder möjligheten till den typ av kristendomstolkning som företräds av Trump, Ebba och Alice. Kristendomen är en farlig och dödlig religion med klar potential att omstörta regelbaserad samhälls- och världsordning.
