“The most beautiful conception of immortality of which I know, and certainly one that by contrast shows the utter vulgarity of Christian ideas, is set forth in Pindar's second Olympian: after three or six lives in which a man has lived with strict justice and perfect integrity, he passes beyond the tower of Cronus to the fair realm that cannot be reached by land or sea, where gentle breezes from a placid ocean blow forever on the fields of asphodel. For a description, see Pindar. If the beauty of great poetry can commend a religion, here you have it.” IfsKnowsMenIdeasShowsChristianBeautifulThreeJusticePerfectForeverSeaLandFieldsIntegrityOceanSixFairsBlowGentleImmortalityRealmsDescriptionConceptionContrastTowersStrictBreezeVulgarityGreat PoetOlympianGreat PoetryPlacid Author:Revilo P.

“The commitment to international agreements is embodied, it's found in the U.S. Constitution. Article Six of the U.S. Constitution provides that treaties of the United States are part of the supreme law of the land along with the constitution itself and laws passed by Congress.
