If someone is a nominal Christian and optimist - whether they had an upbringing that would qualify as such, or just came up during a time when these themes were widely supported - and they then go on to make a career of eliminating the influence of both these traditions from the world, it's only right to question the nature of his convictions and motives of his philosophy.

just because a character dies it doesn't mean "death" is a major theme of the work. In any case, since all Comedies and Tragedies by their classical definitions are going to violate your terms, I'll submit that most Comedies of Manners probably don't heavily involve sex or death.

To be honest, nobody needs to read the bible.

You don't have the right to present your religion as a legitimate alternative viewpoint, because it is provably made-up superstition and you chop and change it as you please.

It would be easier to answer the question "What literary merit does the bible lack."

The answer to that question is absolutely none. It's an epic that encompasses the whole of the human experience.

>> No.8524076

>>8523817
The Quran is just bible fanfic. It's definitely worth a read as well but the old and new testaments probably constitute the most important works of literature in human history. Only the Vedas can compare in depth and scope, but they can't come close to claiming the same level of historical impact which the bible has had.
