    I suggest that you edit the formatting. You have every verse in a separate paragraph, which is space-inefficient and hard to read. I think that you should use plain line breaks between verses. That increases readability and adds one level to the visual hierarchy, so you can have paragraphs of verses.

    If you end a line with two spaces (at least it you edit in Markdown), the line break is kept in the result. Example (Notice spaces at ends of lines.):

    Roses are red;  
    violets are blue.  
    Paragraphs visually separate,  
    which line breaks don't do.

  • I think that Unicode implements Turkish wrong. I tried to make a proposal to Unicode, but, when I gave that for checking to someone involved in Unicode, I was told that such proposal would be futile because Unicode can’t break compatibility.

    Presently, there is a case pair of I where the small I is dotted, and the capital I is dotless, then there are separate dotless small I and dotted capital I. My proposal was that the common case pair of I would have unspecified dottedness, and there would be a separate case pair of dotted I and a pair of dotless I for Turkish.

    This was done with the idea that, in most languages, dottedness of I is just a typographic choice similar to the shape of small A. My proposal would enable fonts where small I is by default dotless like in the Carolingian minuscule but which support Turkish.

    I can’t speak from experience, but I think that, if you would just caused me pain without injuring or limiting me, I would not be bothered by that. It would be like with Wolverine, that, when he extends the blades, they cut through his hands, which causes pain, but the hands heal quickly, so he has got used to that.







  • I read something about them (mainly in Wikipedia), and I see some parallels in artistic style or symbolism, but I don’t see a substantial parallel in their stories, although I didn’t find much about the story of Sol Invictus. I don’t see that someone was nursed as a significant parallel because almost every human was nursed.

    I focused on parallels in their stories because I don’t see parallels in the style of art depicting them as problematic to Christianity. But most of your previous comment was about artistic depictions, so, if you think that they are problematic, please, explain that more in details.

    Why do people dislike suffering so much? I understand it as an indicator of that something is wrong. So trying to eliminate suffering without figuring out what causes it is like fighting global warming by destroying thermometers in my perspective.

    I think that suffering in this life is not ultimately significant, although it has ultimately significant causes. For every person, suffering in this life fits into one of these cases (from a Christian perspective considering also other worldviews):

    • If the person ceases to exist, the suffering is forgotten, and there is noone who would experience any suffering.
    • If the person goes to heaven, all causes of suffering are resolved.
    • If the person goes to hell, there is suffering regardless of suffering in this life. Although not that hell is bad because there is suffering; there is suffering because it is bad (in various ways).
    • If the person reincarnates, previous suffering is forgotten, although there may be some karma according to which past lives affect future lives, so buddhists try to reach nirvana, which is similar to the second case.
