But I don't know about the word enjoyed either.

"Enjoyed" in this context merely means to possess and benefit from, as opposed to take delight or pleasure in.

Quotes of Note:

"I think it is not helpful to apply Darwinian language too widely. Conquest of nation by nation is too distant for Darwinian explanations to be helpful."

Richard Dawkins

"I turned to speak to God, About the world's despair; But to make bad matters worse, I found God wasn't there."

Robert Frost

"The inspiration of the bible depends on the ignorance of the person who reads it."

Robert G. Ingersoll

"The habit of religion is oppressive, an easy way out of thought."

Peter Ustinov

"The fight both for and against slavery in the United States was waged first along scriptural lines. . . . There was also the theory of the descent from Ham which attained great vogue and still does in certain quarters. . . . With the superseding of religion by science the battle of inequality shifted from a scriptural wording to a scientific one. Now it was no longer what "God had said" but what color, hair, and skull showed. . . . In other words, the pro-slavery faction and the antislavery one had entered the stage in new costumes. Underneath were the same bodies."

Joel Augustus Rogers
