      this is the third show i've watched recently that wouldn't play all the way through on the internet they show the end or total time as 0:00 and then they just stop playing at some random time this one stopped playing at 7:25 i think maybe they are getting uploaded incorrectly or something on the first one i noticed there were a number of other people writing comments saying it wasn't playing correctly

      I just love ppl who use words like writerly. I'm afraid I, too, think he, Hitchens, and the rest, deserve to take their lumps, but I think it really beneath anyone's notice. That's just playing these authors' game. I am not sure there really ever have been anything like religious "apparatuses of power." I think that's a liberal myth and one based on religion, to boot. I am not sure I would recognize these historical tales as myths, either. The word connotes falsehood or fiction, and these things never were that, and still aren't, especially in that they reflect individual development. But I suppose someone who feels they are fictions feels no compunction about making up some more for the young to imbibe. And not only that, but trying to profit from it. If there is a msg to this, it sounds like it is a denial of the idea of original sin. In any case, this whole line of enquiry was absent.
