No burning people alive, not under any circumstances and for any time scale.
And no threatening people with torture or burning alive in this life or any other life.

@ghost-of-a-duke saidOur religious book should have pictures and limericks.
We need a religious book to keep us on the straight and narrow. (Without it we will go around eating babies).

@ghost-of-a-duke saidI think we should have a song too. A bouncey one, not a plodding dirge-like hymn with a blasted pipe organ shaking the rafters. A happy song. By Beyoncé or Shakira. With a chorus anybody can follow.

I do believe sir, in a 1827 publication of A Journal of George Fox, Volume 1, (which claims to be a facsimile reprint of the 1694 original journal of the Critical Works of Monsieur Rapin) we find:
"The soul of the common people seems too straight and narrow to be wrought upon by any Part of Eloquence."

@ghost-of-a-duke saidMine was a reference to Matt 7:14 “Strait is the gate and narrow the path.” Make of it what you will. But only allegorically.
