[Aeglaecia]

would you care to explain exactly what gives you the impression of religious undertones ?

[NoraCodes]

The invocation of Gregory of Nyssa, for one.

[PeterHolzwarth]

I dunno, I associate Gregory of Nyssa with the unequivocal rejection of slavery.

[Aeglaecia]

it seems very clear to me that the inclusion of a singular religious reference does not justify labelling an entire excerpt as having religious over/undertones ... not sure what im missing
