- Feb. 5th, 2013 at 9:26 PM

Especially when you doubt the true dogmas of those who most prize themselves on account of their tolerance and broadmindedness. . . .
The most calls I have heard for people to avoid corrupting literature nowadays were calls to avoid reading writers because they might taint your acceptance of inclusivity.
Hard to tell nowadays. I notice that both situations are used to insult Christians.
