Why would I lie about books like that?
Seriously, who lies about writing a D&D book? Do you think I made it up for the prestige?!

- A book on training sales engineers (ghosted for someone else)
- A 'specialty gaming' book (i.e., a dungeons and dragons book) for hire
- A book on the Catholic theology of courtship and engagement.

I am a shoe in for the Booker, right?

Emerson was just continuing Enlightenment thought.

LOL.
No, I got it. It was spelled out in very simple words and repeated quite often.
Go peddle your ayndroid wares elsewhere - most people on /lit/ have read books other than YA stuff.

WHich part, the completely unrealistic characterization, the part where the female protagonist falls in love the the male protagonist *because* he violently raped her, or when the main character blew up other people's property in direct violation of his own (very, very, very) often repeated code of morality?

Of course I do, I'm not a petulant child. Any honest examination of reality and philosophy demonstrates that God exists.

Let's see:
paper-thin plots that run on contrivance.
Cardboard characters with ridiculous motivations and very limited development.
Frequent jarring author filibusters.
Mary Sue protagonists.

As a writer Rand was a mediocre novelist.

Objectivism was never really properly described as a true philosophy, despite Rand and her fans insisting it is one. When examined as a philosophy, however, it is very obviously fatally flawed beginning with a series of obviously false premises.

My 11th grade English teacher assigned this book for class. If Steinbeck were still alive I would demand $5 from him personally to repay me for the lost time.

Pretty much, yeah
Hey, if I were to write a book about all the things wrong with atheism and fill it with misquotations Dawkins, Hawkings, Sagan, various text books, and CERN and talk about how it is "meant to challenge some readers to reflect on how atheism and science continue to shape their lives and culture" what would oyu think?
Because i would condemn that, too

Are you really claiing that replacing "He was filled with compassion" with "He was filled with anger" is just 'interpretation'?
Like I said earlier, it is just another cheap, inaccurate attack on Christianity. Junk. Trash. Meant to mislead and misinform.
The exactsort of thing /lit/ should hate, right?

see this one? >>4433524

Actual translation:
"Sometimes people beat their slaves. If a slave is beaten and dies its killer must be punished. But if a beaten slave gets up and returns to work in a day or to the master shall not be punished."
In other words - BS

Sure!
see >>4433520 ?
the original Greek is (transliterated)
kai splagcnisqeiV ekteinaV thn ceira autou hyato kai legei autw qelw kaqarisqhti

and the Latin Vulgate is
Iesus autem misertus eius extendit manum suam et tangens eum ait illi volo mundare

The Greek is best translated into English as "And Jesus was filled with pity"; the Latin is closest as "and Jesus was filled with compassion"
He wrote "and Jesus was filled with anger"
Now, while one or two Protestant version have that translation it is both rare and long discredited; i.e., we know that it is an improper translation. A guy that claims to have been a Catholic then a mainstream evangelical Protestant would know that.
Thus - BS
