    That’s actually a great thought. Of all things, worshipping the sun has merit. But you can’t control people with that concept, because you can’t control the sun. People who want to find solitude in the things that actually matter, and are available to anyone, must be converted into sheep. And they literally call themselves that, as their Lord is their shepherd.

    WTF

      Oh, so Akhenaten couldn’t control people?

          Well, Michelangelo got paid for painting the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel as well. Who’s “they” and what’s your point?

            That people weren’t tricked into work. They were paid for it and likely held great pride in it.
