Re: Sherri G,

Politicians are of different blood. They will stop at nothing if ….they smell blood; it whets their appetite to create and distorts and misapprehension on subjects they do not understand and make capital out of it….😩

Thanks for the history lesson. What's amazing is how some things never change. Today we still see politicians use the bible for their not always well-intentioned purposes.

The London booksellers thrived on selling a book on Biblical rebellion once a few astute readers discerned the real identities behind the anonymous political figures, turning the political controversy into a dramatic sensation.
