    Getting exposed for something means that someone else were doing it. Religious element is refering to suspected fundies. Bit complicated formulation, but I never claimed that he was doing it to himself.
    We are all aware that the senses can be deceived, the eyes fooled. But how can we be sure our senses are not being deceived at any particular time, or even all the time? Might I just be a brain in a tank somewhere, tricked all my life into believing in the events of this world by some insane computer? And does my life gain or lose meaning based on my reaction to such solipsism?

    It's a mean word.

    Getting exposed to arson is different to getting exposed for (doing) arson.

    Which is appearently exactly the mistake I did. Bah, stupid English not having a word without those multiple meanings and having for and to translated to the same word some of the time. "Vilks was getting exposed for arson" is an exact translation of the sentence used in media, but unmistakable in meaning in Swedish.

    Anyway, another one got arrested as well. Seems that they left plenty of easily identifiable evidence.

    You shouldn't, unless you have a problem with people criticising Jews for the bloody, pointless, fighting and factionalism against Rome. In case you were wondering, Brian isn't meant to be Jesus, he's a False Prophet, that's why they have his mum at the Sermon on the Mount mis-hearing the beatitides.

    You are looking for, "supjected to Arson", or perhaps.... I don't have a non-Latinate word for you, which is likely the problem.
