Ragnar Redbeard Presents “Christ as a Social Reformer & Writings in Red” By Arthur Desmond New Zealander Arthur Desmond (1859-1929) was a poet, author, political activist, unionist, and agitator.

Magus Gilmore’s words are used to conclude this article by Quinn Myers exploring shades of abstinence.
Newsweek recently ran an article entitled “The Bible: So Misunderstood It’s a Sin” which looked at how mistranslated their Bible is; how the story of Jesus was added to and revised by scribes, emperors, and committees hundreds of years after the supposed events took place; and how disagreements on the “Holy Word” lead to bloodshed.
