  2. I agree with Dostoevsky being funny. I was surprised by how much I laughed out loud while reading The Brothers Karamazov. I wasn't expecting it to have so much humor.

  10.  @Yesica1993  "Blaspheming and insulting the Lord?" No, it's just a channel by a knowledgeable former Christian minister that addresses the contents of the books of The Bible and uses direct quotes.

  21. "Assuming the poet was a Christian looking back at his pagan ancestors, it is a poignant examination of the fleetingness of life and the ultimate futility of the pagan heroic code" The pagan heroic code is not futile though. If anything it's the opposite; meaning the more futile thing would be converting to the insane cult of Christianity.
