'John answered, “Master, we saw someone casting out demons in your name, and we tried to stop him, because he does not follow with us.” But Jesus said to him, “Do not stop him, for the one who is not against you is for you.”' (Luke 9:49-50)

>saved Christian brother is all ecstatic and raving in ecstacy
"Hey you! Stop having fun there!! Don't you know that according to Marxian dialectical theory, the Lukan theory of Old Testament as Christ-Image is *actually* just disguised Hellenism?? Hey! Listen to me!!!"

Planning my future and failing some college classes at the same time.Thankfully I don't need the classes I'm failing. I'm going to do my best to bring them up but if I can't that's ok. I want to end up working as a deckhand on a merchant ship. At least to start. I'm ok with menial tasks and the high seas are awesome. I'm kinda thirsty but I can't really drink the tap water because I live in a run down river city. I have a can of beans in the cupboard so I think I'll heat those up and continue reading moby digck.

I preferred your '/lit threw down his bag triumphantly...' thread.

>WHAT YOU READ LAST
Rama 2, Arthur C. Clarke and Gentry Lee (Or I should say by Gentry Lee and clearly glazed over by Clarke)

>WHAT YOU ARE CURRENTLY READING
Garden of Rama

>What are you reading next
Since I'm a completionist, the rest of the Rama series. Then I'm starting the foundation series for the first time.

I prefer physical books primarily because I don't feel comfortable with having my library exist just digitally.

>implying i can impress house guests with my expansive collection of Goosebumps with an e-book

>wanting to emulate a sociopathic mass-murderer

... in which aspects?
