i never loved the beatles.
i especially didn't care all that much for john lennon.. bob dylan, i never got his appeal!.
any songs that just didn't do anything for you?.
The Beatles, for the life of me I don't understand how their so called legacy is determined.
They had a huge following. They personified successful hippie. They are said to have influenced modern pop/rock.... (how, I've nooo clue, as regards the rock)
Musically, I really don't get them. I really don't. What is appealing about them?

I might rather burn alive then rot in prison all my life and getting raped by bubba. Do you think it's humane to lock people up like dogs and at the tax payers expense in a recession where our country debt is astronomical?
Hmmm..... so instead of a better alternative to either of these, I should just be happyfied to get cooked, or get bonked by bubba (racial slur, btw)?
I think you've deflected and failed to address the point. You asked "Here's a question: was burning anyone at the stake for any reason ever the right thing to do?" (past tense)
As a capital punishment, as a form of execution, NO. The only reason any government would/did use such a method is/was to induce fear and avoid a challenge to said government, and that, IMO, is not the right thing to do.

Here's a question: was burning anyone at the stake for any reason ever the right thing to do?
Not alive, no. It's no different with the Romans and their twisted manners for execution. There was nothing humane about that. Now, as far as executions go, we know there were, and somtimes are, pressing reasons for those, but the manner of executions as barbaric is unacceptable.
The only thing I will say about the purpose for using those methods was to instill great fear in any individual that dared oppose/challenge authority. I suppose that in the crudest way, it got the point across.

so unicorns fart rainbows and your question must be avaluated on that basis.

It's easy to call it evil, but when you really look at it in it's historical context you will see there is more than meets the eye.
Of course it wasn't evil. God himself did it in the Hebrew scriptures, so it's God approved.
what is it about higher criticism that petrifies the watchtower?
what are they trying to hide?.

What does it mean by "literary history" of the Bible?

Your world view almost completely shoves philosophy out of the picture which is not good for mankind, it's good for you.
I think engaging in philosophical inquiry/debate is very much akin to the use of conceptual reality, and as long as we recognize the difference between conceptual reality v. concrete reality, there shouldn't be a problem.
I should hope no one took offense to philosophy, albeit so long as it's not something egregious like eugenics. At that point, philosophy has crossed the boundary, and needs to be subjected to the concrete reality, full of it's own consequences.

Theists refuse to subject their "theories" to peer reviews, because they know they don't fit the facts.
Their "theories" are wholly subjective, or not based on reality at all! Of course they don't stand up to peer reviews.
Remember, too, that theists claim to have some theories, but on the whole, they claim absolute truth. Just how the hell is one supposed to argue with that?

Agreed. There is "one source" from which ideas come from. Can you guess what that is in concrete reality?
Shameless bump.
howdy guys and gals!.
here is my latest article on "waiting on jehovah" because the organisation is run by "humble imperfect men.".

Hence, that order would be imperfect, repeating many past blunders and never satisfying all of mankind’s needs.
Oh, the irony!
