To balance the apparent recent anti-Catholic leanings of the archive, here is a comment on the other two major desert religions.
Thanks for pointing me in the direction of “atheist cartoons”, Mike.

Both of which are WAAAAAAAY wrong! It belongs to the people which were invaded by both these races at different times and who are now extinct. Oh, and believe it or not, these two are actually the very same people … brothers, as it were. They are both genetically identical. They both come from the same area of the earth and they both believe the other is totally wrong.

Wasn’t H G Wells the Clod who went to Russia and said “I’ve seen the Future – and it works”

Indeed, but people are still people, not things, and therefore deserve, “who,” not, “which.”

If I may way into this argiment – wot is about gramma, not spelling so I am no inkspot.
I have seen, in writing and no doubt in books, the term “The People” or “A people” wherein lies a reference to a tribe or a large and defined community or even a race. In these cases it seems that the essential humanity of a “Person” or even two or three “People” has been lost in the size of the number.
As JB Priestly wrote, “I can’t help feeling wary when I hear anything said about the masses. First you take their faces from ‘em by calling ‘em the masses and then you accuse ‘em of not having any faces.”
