  • Now it’s support for murder as a necessary means of change.

    Violence wasn't necessary, it was the only means available. If those in power want to peacefully negotiate, then they must make it possible.

    “Those who make peaceful revolution impossible will make violent revolution inevitable."

  • Can you point to a reference? I don't think you are recalling the story correctly.

    They were money changers (currency exchange) and merchants, not a single tax collector.

    Jesus cleansed the temple twice, it wasn't a single event.

    Matthew was a tax collector, one of his key disciples. Jesus was also compassionate towards Zaccheus, who was a wealthy tax collector. Zaccheus was wise enough to repent from his over-taxing of citizens, however.

  • I think it takes at least two reads. It was difficult the first time trying to keep track of everything in my head. I reckon its not worth feeling inferior about it and just give it a go. I recommend treating it like episodes.

    Children of Hurin (the standalone book) is definitely worth a read once you have the context. The audiobook with Christopher Lee's narration is an excellent choice.
