Smart people have wide-ranging interests, which may include history and archaeology.

You're free to dedicate your life to whining, griping, cursing, moaning, carping, and grumbling. :cuss:

But you don't have any reason to get angry about what interests me.

you spend your time destroying human morality with propaganda and bullshit.

you personify evil completely.

Explain to the board why my interest in archeology and history causes you to descend into anger and insanity.

tyrants like you hate reciprocity and you are willing to lie about Jesus to get to your evil goal.
