>slave morality.
Derp. Go read the Gospel. The first book is Mark

------Ch 1---------

The Preaching of John the Baptist and The Baptism of Jesus.
John the Baptist says of Jesus "I am not worthy to stoop and loosen the thongs of his sandals. I have baptized you with water; he will baptize you with the holy Spirit.”
>slave morality would be Jesus teling John the Bapstist: oh no, you are my master, I am your slave, I am preaching a slave morality here
We are also told a few lines later that John the Baptist was arrested. If John the Baptist was following slave morality, he never would have been arrested

The Temptation of Jesus.
Jesus is tempted by Satan for 40 days
>slave morality would be Jesus telling Satan, oh no problem, you are a my master, I will do what you want, I am preaching a slave morality here

The Call of the First Disciples
Jesus said to them, “Come after me, and I will make you fishers of men.”
>slave morality isn't going around asking people to follow you

The Cure of a Demoniac
In the synagogue was a man with an unclean spirit; he cried out, “What have you to do with us, Jesus of Nazareth? Have you come to destroy us? I know who you are—the Holy One of God!” Jesus rebuked him and said, “Quiet! Come out of him!
>slave morality would be Jesus saying, oh no, live and let live! I am preaching a slave morality here

The Cure of Simon’s Mother-in-Law, The Cleansing of a Leper, and Other Healings
He cured many who were sick with various diseases, and he drove out many demons, not permitting them to speak because they knew him...he went into their synagogues, preaching and driving out demons throughout the whole of Galilee.
>slave morality would be Jesus saying, oh no don't try to fight disease and demons, they are all good, I am preaching a slave morality here

I just got a phone call telling me that I have a job interview in two days. This is my first interview ever and I'm pretty stressed.
I have social anxiety. How do answer questions in the interview without showing how anxious I am?

>it's a timeless classic of immense quality
Lol, not even close. It is however a great book for writers to study because of how inventive it was. Oh, I can write a book about my main character's musings and day dreaming thoughts the whole time? COOL! Let me try that. Plus it actually does have some actually literary value in that there are some paragraphs that are beautifully written and then you have whole chapters set up like, and mirroring, a scene from a Shakespearian play. Oh I can do that in a book? COOL! Let me try that!

>And it's not that you "got filtered", it simply doesn't align with your own personal taste.
Yeah, it's going to be a shitty book to most that read it, even at the time people thought it was a shitty book. Today people think it was a shitty book. And all in between people thought it was a shitty book. But again, it's still a great book for writers to study for how inventive it was. It likely inspired a lot of books that actually are good and wouldn't have been written but not for Moby Dick
