    language‚ William Blake expressed his abhorrence of the Church’s deep-rooted stance on faith; such a stance on Christianity was considered blasphemous‚ but he could not be charged with a crime.

    How would you feel being dragged into the harsh ideals of war; being forced to fight and potentially die?
