/lit/ - Literature

Have you not yet realized that the most sublime can only be reached with God? That literature can only reach the peak of the sublime if there is a God to reach out to, beyond our pathetic and degenerate selves? That after the death of God, literature has been sinking in ever-diminishing circles, aping the sublime but never quite reaching it? That the last sublime thing, the last important tragedy, was this very death of God, which has been pounded into cliche by all too many artists since its conception? Why do you keep writing when there is nothing truly important yet left to say? Art could only save us when we had the capability to be saved in the first place.

How long does it take to read the Bible? Are there any parts that I can skip?
