Liberty Quote
For centuries, the battle of morality was fought between those who claimed that your life belongs to God and those who claimed that it belongs to your neighbors – between those who preached that the good is self-sacrifice for the sake of ghosts in heaven and those who preached that the good is self-sacrifice for the sake of incompetents on earth. And no one came to say that your life belongs to you and that the good is to live it.

New to me:
That was beautiful. Thank you, Sinc.
Have always loved Neil Diamond’s voice.
Nobody else has that timbre.
Very noice. Lovely. Thank you, Doomlord. 🙂
I’m neither of that faith nor particularly religious, but that is beautiful. Thank you.

Amazing how the human voice is such a distinctive instrument. Wish I’d heard that not knowing who the singer was, but am sure would’ve recognised him.
Bloody snot.
You dopey jooooos.
You’re bloody music is shit.
I had a knife to me throat it was that depressing.
I’ve got Irish background.
We know the difference between haunting and lonely and pure depression.
Raaaaaaalph.
I might support Israel but that doesn’t mean I do that shit.
Honestly, you do get carried away with yourselves.
The Kol Nidre is not really meant to be “music,” Struth.
Related … speaking of Jéws’ music.
Read something amusing today:
The Razor Tongue Of Keith Richards – 15 Artists He’s Slammed, From David Bowie To Oasis.
This is the context in which the piece first came to my Gentile attention:

It’s crap.
The joooos need to not be humoured sometimes.
Their music is snot.
God bless them.
My family are of that faith, though I am an atheist. Though not a militant bore.
This reminds me, I’ve drafted a complete religious rights bill, to assist the Australian government avoid the pitfalls of drafting legislation that would limit rights:
Section 1 any person shall have the right to pursue any religion as long as it does not break any law or in particular infringe on any other person’s rights and liberties including the absolute freedom of adherents to decide they no longer want to be a member of any religion;
Section 2 every person shall have the absolute right to criticise or ridicule any religion including if it hurts your stupid feelings.
Crankypants.
The ‘flu is affecting your hearing.
I couldn’t watch it. I’d get PTSD from my early life with the black hats.
Thank you ,I also only knew the Bruch version ,which caused me to waste a lot of time playing it to myself on a viola.I never did master the last bit.
