Stories are usually truer than mere facts.

Neil Gaiman is the shit
Merky600
The sex scene in AGods freaked me out. Read it minutes before he signed my book. I just put it on table,slid it to him & took a step back.
Merky600
He gave me a kinda dirty look.

This Neil Gaiman must be a great audio book narrator.
JohnPtempkinReborn
Idk if you are joking or not but the occasional good author that does their own audio books can be a real treat

Am I really the first comment?

The post made it to the front page with a 5 hour tag and zero comments. It was a real comment

The GOP wants to take away all the stories except those in that mythical book the bible.
Harik
only because they haven't read it yet. they sure as shit wouldn't like the anti-christian antics that jesus fellow got up to.
ruhardwick
It's not mythical, it's a real book, with stories real people stole from contemporaneous mythology. At best, it's mythological fan fiction.
MouseKeyboard
If they'd ever read the bible they'd ban that too
blainetog
Actually, they would prefer you didn't read that either, given that many sections directly and unambiguously contradict their whole ethos.
CoarseAndSalty
I'm sure they desperately want stories about their heroes. At the end of they day they're humans two with the same need for mythology, they
CoarseAndSalty
just lack the mechanics to related to the experiences of others so they aren't capable of telling stories.
KidAmnesia
They will want to bann it too as soon as people they don't like start reading it and confronting them on their own ground.

Already banned in at least one TX school district https://www.huffpost.com/entry/texas-book-ban-bible_n_62fd9942e4b0a85a81987860

As a Christian liberal (yes we exist), I can confirm that they hate this. A lot.
Causeitsmadeofmeat
And it's a pretty shitty book, too
CarlottaVonSprockett
You can’t have read it. It’s got some great fables and amazing jokes in it. I think a clever writer could turn all the Bible stories into /1
KaiserRollze
'I think...' Exactly though. The book as written is shit so somebody would have to rework it into something half-decent.
CarlottaVonSprockett
Obviously all literature and its value is subjective. So yeah “I think.” But also, “I think” there are excellent stories in the Bible. /1
CarlottaVonSprockett
Just like in Greek mythology, Egyptian mythology, etc. Great stories abound. 2/2
KaiserRollze
Excellent, terribly written stories.
CarlottaVonSprockett
fantasy stories (or even sci-fi) or GoT caliber and make a fortune. People would never know bc no one actually reads the Bible anymore. 2/2
attylloyd
it is poorly written drivel. people read it because they are indoctrinated young. read an actually well written book
CarlottaVonSprockett
I have thanks ?
Causeitsmadeofmeat
It's the slavery, incest and misogyny that make it shitty, but if you think of god as a Sauron like character, I see your point
CarlottaVonSprockett
All the prophets are “wizards” and angels would be, idk, nymphs or sprites or whatever.
CarlottaVonSprockett
Yeah. Just like GoT, lol.
