I don't know the line count, but yes a poem. Most people find it bizarre I like this very old stuff. I have recently read some medieval morality plays and quite enjoyed them.
Yea I found it on the net too. Seemed easier just to buy it. Then I can take it about and have less time reading a screen which is not always desirable.
One dark night, when the sun was bright. two dead boys got up tp fight. Back to back they faced each other, drew their swords and shot each other. A deaf policeman heard the noise, came and shot those two dead boys. f you don't believe my tale, ask the blind man, he saw it all.
Good thing you're not one of those people that you allude to, you know those with hypersensitive weaklingness, otherwise you would have taken offense to my comment.
Manners are a system of rules that society enforces by social pressure. It's a form of censorship. Strong people ignore jibes or respond in kind. Weak people appeal to society to gag their opposition.
I have no desire to censor you. I respect you expressing your views. In fact, it's the only thing I do respect about you.

Through history, I'm sure there are a ton of "religious" people that had bad manners. Unfortunately, those people do have a place in history. Apart from that, we all suppose to learn from those people which we have not.

I'd say in many ways they go hand in hand. Manners, like the exercise of religions, are subject to the local customs of those being discussed. What one culture sees as appropriate conduct may not be so in another.
Think about the Crusades; is it "bad manners" to march into a foreign land and slaughter innocents of another faith by the millions on the whim and dictate of a Clerical Order? You bet it is. But not to the invaders.
Is it "bad manners" for one group to demand that all people not eat certain foods, dress a certain way, or keep their mouths shut on certain topics, lest you meet a grim fate? You bet it is, but name me a major religion that isn't guilty of at least one of these things.
