Many times I can't even get past the first paragraph of some of these deep articles... The pagan birthplace of Western debate, of bacchanalia and of differing sets of behavioral rules based on which gods one pledged to, of city-states seceding because of irreconcilable differences in definitions of morality, relativism, sophistry, stoicism etc. had an easy time knowing what is right. This sort of thing throws me out of the article's conceit wondering whether the author purposely misleads or if he honestly believes such an odd thing.
