He looked upon himself, and in his eyes victory turned unto defeat, and both spectres showed themselves to be imposters, with neither of any purpose.
For there is here and there, and everywhere is but one meaning, and one purpose under the sun.
@TravelbytheCoin@ZanderPerkovich@Murmurs16477916@EricRSammons I mean, okay, but Christians are very public about the Trinity and you just dodged the question. If you don't find it odd, what do you think other people find odd? I can certainly see how non-Christians would find the Trinity odd.
@gospel_lens@MattisRedacted They're not remotely similar - you just need to pretend they are for legitimacy, you all are demon possessed and cannot be trusted to tell the truth in anything. You absolutely want everyone to be Mormon.
@gospel_lens@MattisRedacted The extermination of the religion and the people are not the same thing - you understand this yes? I am sure, you would want Christianity to die out you hypocrite.
@abegreenleaf@Protestia@spanglermt Such an odd word bro - like he's talking about a desert. Makes sense though, seeing the man was a serial sexual pervert.
@lucaslthomasgq@LutheranAnswers Oh so you do understand that when we say that you're not Christian, we are not actually being "unChrist-like"! Very interesting hypocrisy - hardly surprising from a Mormon though.
What they won't say is that this is from a satirical work, writing from the perspective of Satan - it's like trying to say that Uncle Screwtape was C.S. Lewis all along...
@Wesley_Todd_ Mark Twain on the Bible
“It has noble poetry in it; and some clever fables; and some blood drenched history; and a wealth of obscenity and upwards of a thousand lies”
Mark Twain was repeatedly found drunk with whores a block from the newspaper where he worked.
Nice try
The following paragraph: "The book seems to be merely a prosy detail of imaginary history, with the Old Testament for a model; followed by a tedious plagiarism of the New Testament. The author labored to give his words and phrases the quaint, old-fashioned sound and structure of our King James's translation of the Scriptures; and the result is a mongrel--half modern glibness, and half ancient simplicity and gravity. The latter is awkward and constrained; the former natural, but grotesque by the contrast. Whenever he found his speech growing too modern--which was about every sentence or two--he ladled in a few such Scriptural phrases as "exceeding sore," "and it came to pass," etc., and made things satisfactory again. "And it came to pass" was his pet. If he had left that out, his Bible would have been only a pamphlet." - Mark Twain; Roughing It
One of the great books.
