    Joseph Smith jr: Meaningless death of a would-be tyrant or noble sacrifice?

    Personally, I say meaningless death.

    Discuss.

    Meaningful enough to make you post a thread about it.

              Space is big. You just won't believe how vastly, hugely, mind- bogglingly big it is. I mean, you may think it's a long way down the road to the chemist's, but that's just peanuts to space.

                  to really understand its significance, youd need to understand social theory of religion, theories of the state and social class etc. Durkheim, Weber, Tawney at a minimum, some political anthropologists. Hegel wouldnt hurt, maybe Kojeve.
