I Like Quotes and Sayings

“[b]Flannery O’Connor[/b] saw that, for all its vaunted materialism, modernity is a grotesquely gnostic age in its profound hostility to corporeal existence....Hence the grim legacy left by the allegedly most enlightened and progressive century the world has ever known. More people were killed by violent means in the twentieth century than in all of the preceding centuries combined, roughly 190 million. …..Dreadfully we are on track for generating yet another century of blood, another epoch of gore, another age incarnadine.” [b]~ Ralph Wood[/b], in [i]“Flannery O'Connor's Witness to the Gospel of Life”[/i] [c=#BF0000]http://bit.ly/2b8jD5n[/c]

Half patent nonsense, half inaccurate or misleading. Typical.

I am quite patient with people's opinions which disagree with my own and factual challenges --in fact I enjoy the intellectual wrestling --so long as the opinions are more than just the nipping of a pretentious intellectual pygmy. Now if you would like to do a review of this quote, and reach this conclusion (and enlighten us factually and explain what is at all "typical" about this quote) that would be one thing. But what you have contributed is worthless. Is there any reason I shouldn't just delete this?
