The Lost PowerPoint Slides (Sir Thomas More Edition)

several religions
sun-worshipers, moon-worshipers, Uranus-worshipers (the worst of them)
but the best religion worships an incomprehensible Deity.
Sir Thomas More presents "The Religions of Utopia" (circa 1515) –> slide five
their most ancient law:
no man ought to be punished for his religion
not even the evil-smelling Uranus-worshipers.
Sir Thomas More presents "The Religions of Utopia" (circa 1515) –> slide six
liberty needed so they can decide:
which religion is true and which is false
also, dignity of human values more important than religious dogma.
Sir Thomas More presents "Burning Lutherans" (circa 1530) –> slide 5
heresy against Church is a disease
started with burning Protestant books
now onto followers of Martin Luther
(but I only burned six).
Sir Thomas More:
"A man of an angel's wit and singular learning. I know not his fellow. For where is the man of that gentleness, lowliness and affability? And, as time requireth, a man of marvelous mirth and pastimes, and sometime of as sad gravity. A man for all seasons." ~ Robert Whittington (1520, before More's "pyro" phase)
In addition to being an all-weather dude, More also was burner of heretics, or Lutherans as we know them now. Alltop is burning hot with humor. Originally published Dec. 7, 2007.
