Compassionately intolerant

a 16th century religious tract.

Ooohhh...off to google.

I did google, but given my browser history, ALL the references I found were TP related.

It's mentioned in the Wikipedia article for the Pratchett novel, that could get you started.

the hardest to learn / was the least complicated

Actually, there was a pamphlet by John Knox that used that phrase first. Never read it, but have seen it referenced elsewhere.

That's where the Laurie King novel got it, yeah.

John Knox, yeah, that's the one. All I could remember was "anti-Catholic" and now I'm not even sure that's right.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

Oh, I'm pretty sure he was ... anti-Catholic and a multitude of others.

On Elementary, I was disappointed when Luke Duke didn't turn out to be the killer (going by the "most famous guest star" theory). Though perhaps Tom Wopat wasn't the most famous guest star (unless you're a woman who grew up watching Dukes of Hazzard). (And, now that I think about it, Reed Diamond wasn't the killer in his episode, either.)

I absolutely loved when neuro-atypical Fiona told Sherlock "I don't know WHAT you are." I've always thought JLM plays Sherlock as neurodiverse in one way or another.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

I didn't even realize it was Wopat until reading your post.

I recognized Wopat, and was with Steph, thinking that he would be the killer.
