I am 100% Christian Humanist. The idea of respecting individual freedom, accessibility to text, freedom of questioning, education, believing in the divine and applying as a life lesson, without imposition and with moderate aims. The principles are beautiful, but organisations immediately corrupt the text and oppress people with rules that are not even written. Using the old text instead of the new one, not interpreting or adapting to modern life. That's why a lot of people stay away from religion, due to the organisations and radicalism around strict ideas and outdated ways of living. It is so upsetting to see a lot of people claiming to be Christian but not really being one, imposing and oppressing others. I am ashamed of what is happening.
I don't know if you will ever read this but the way you explain stuff is Amazing! I wish you could do a set of videos for every part of history!! I've learnt with you so much! Thank you so much!!!
My goodness! When I asked my teacher, back in USSR, where I grew up, why there were only 4 eggs per person given now in our local shop, after long queues, not six, how it used to be, and how does it correspond with the idea that we were promised communism in 8-10 years by her (“when you grow up”), and the number of eggs seems to be counting in the opposite direction; during the communism there would supposed to be plenty of them and free, the teacher answered that it’s obvious. It would only happen, she said, if everyone becomes conscious, honest and hard working, as Marx and Lenin said. Little did I know that all three were quoting Thomas Moore …😏
Hi Paul, your video has reached classrooms in China. The freshman English majors from Gansu province follow the equivalent of a AP Euro history course their second semester. Thanks again for the perfect clarity, speed (not too fast), and didactical approach to history!
Awesome video, but didn't the inhabitants of More's Utopia only have to work for 6 hours a day? 3 hours before lunch and 3 hours in the afternoon I believe.
Dude, this vid saved my life
I haven’t watched it yet. I’m going to. But why?
Wow Paul I´m shocked! That was outstanding, clear and concise. I just subbed.
Welcome to the family. Thanks for the kind words.
Thank you for a simple, yet detailed, explanation! I would've loved to take your class!
great job, Paul. Thanks for the clarity.
