Learn about one religion and you may become faithful. Learn about many and you may become an atheist.

There's some truth and some idiocy behind this meme. Just because, for example, the US political system tends toward a two party system, does not mean you can always or always not find some amount of truth or good ideas based on what two parties tell you. In fact, the framing is irrelevant toward truth, and is even it's own type of bias. There are certainly some third rails neither side of a debate will touch, or some things both find the need to lie about. But in some cases someone is sort of right about something and sometimes people are just wrong.

I think mustard is a folk remedy for gas. And not the store bought condiment, that usually makes me fart, but rather mustard powder as used in Indian cuisine.

If you were a professional musician your opinion might be different?

The church did frown upon it at the time, if I recall. For example, Newton spent years on alchemy yet that's forgotten
