/lit/ - Literature

Because no one here reads the Bible past Genesis and one of the Gospels.

So op, you plan on reading some Buddhist Theravada , Buddhist Mahayana, Brahmin, Hindu, Zoroastrian, Babylonian, Sumerian, Islamic, Mormon, Animist, Celtic, Greek, Roman, and Atheist literature next?

The snake on the tree was the only character I liked in that whole mythos.

>>6609480
>Mormon
>atheist
I've never heard of any serious literature by either of these two religions. Could you recommend me some, my brother?

>>6609484
He's not a character you fucking moron

>>6609480
Why not? And don't pretend the Bible isn't more important to Western literature than any of those

>>6609488
The char God was the first anti-hero archetype.

>>6609488
Of course he's a character, he's the fucking catalyst! Without the snake, Eve wouldn't have tried the apple then given it to Adam. So, man would've never left the garden of boring vegetarianism. The snake is probably the most important character in The Bible. And he gets the best reveal, was actually the devil in disguise before it was cliche.

>>6609480
Not OP, but so far I've read:

The Bible
Tao Te Ching
The Dhammapada
The God Delusion

What should I read next?

>>6609466
And that's the gospel truuuuuth~

>first anti-hero archetype.
Care to elaborate on that dilettante level speculation?

>>6609530
Do you want to argue about what an antihero is and why God fits it it so you want to protest at me not praising Him as a pure soul even though he floods whole planets (supposedly kek)?

>Do you want to argue about what an antihero is and why God fits it it so you want to protest at me
I'm sorry is english your first language not being rude just wondering if you could reformat your assertion before we engage in friendly academic banter

>>6609508
>And he gets the best reveal,
It isn't actually revealed until the last book of the bible, when the dragon is named as the "ancient serpent, is it?

That build-up and bookending though

>>6609571
Fuck off alter boy.

>>6609596
I take it from the fact that you posted anime that you are deeply unhappy with your life. I also assume you don't know enough about literary theory to justify your assertion. I hope one day you see God's light and realize you don't have to posture or watch bad cartoons.

>>6609480
look at this multicultural evangelist

like a dog you will eat anything given to you

>>6609644
How's that Bible expanding your mind?
guess not

This OP, it sure is important for you to be able to grasp all those allusions to Theravada Buddhism in Western lit.

lol, what?

It's so obvious that David was going to win. Dex>Str

>>6609480
No, if I read anything that isn't the HOLY BIBLE I would probably end up in heck.

Christposting moves essentially in the direction of shit.

Only if you don't believe in Gosh
