I love that quote! :) Sadly, in the region I live in, they can’t even understand the ridicule!
Ha, you know they would just take it as an affront to their religion and then threaten you with hel or something.
I disagree completely. A proposition must be intelligible before it can be ridiculed. There are many things that Jefferson did with which I agree. But ridicule is the tool of weak minds to prevent people from listening to ideas the weak minds don’t like but cannot argue against.
