I thought for some silly reason you worshipped the same god.
It seems that the spirituality forum is not big enough to contain his bigotry and you see his hatred spilling over into other forums too, he being unable to contain it.

I guess he doesn't feel like justifying his hatred. He should be directing his hatred to REALLY evil religions like Scientology.

They are nothing more than religious thugs, religous mafia.

"The Corporation"
Precise , to the point and totally damning of the U.S. in particular.

It was written in 2004.
So I don't know whats happening now, but Trumpf would be a strong puppet in this grand game.
It gives a clear and succinct history of how corporate laws came to be, the cases that led to rewriting these laws.

I purchased several chess books again.
"Endgame: Bobby Fischer's Remarkable Rise And Fall" by Frank Brady.
This book contains some photos I hadn't seen before, for example young Bobby in the bath tub and with chess board over the tub, and you can see big foot on his head through plastic curtain. It was his mother's foot and she was "telling" him to finally get up from the tub.

But the content of the book is disappointing. Another sensationalistic work.
Brady left many gaps in Fischer's life, for example his tour in Yugoslavia 1967-68, then Fischer's visit to Belgrade in 1978 and never-to-be-organized match with Gligoric, etc.

Some details are idiotic: "Fischer wore orange juice squezeer and a sack full of oranges with him into restaurants and asked for empty glass and he made his own juice in public..." "He believed .Russians wanted to poison him, so he always wore antidots in his pocket whilst dining in restaurants.

Encounter with Zita Rayscani was described more plausible, but it still looks like from a spy novel.

Sad book.

I have seen a movie and documentaries about his whole life and I am fascinated by that man, an eccentric genius.

I hope your library can help you with the other book as well - it's one of my absolute favourites.
