Stranger than fiction?

If not for the Angliciacized verson, how true is it? The King James version for those that may not know.
I'll come back and translate this later, I swear, I'm just quoting it for posterity at the moment. One of the more drunken posts I think.

Cool, you post away Drolevile but you still side step along many others who will or not discuss the post.

You want to make fun of people, well, that just shows how so many people are and you do so well at what you do?

Nothing but start ----!

Hope your GLO is proud of you and your members.

Your more than welcome!

So, my spelling is wrong so the whole thread or posting is wrong?

What is amazing is the the few, proud, and hallowed want to jump on this instead of discussing the post?

Other than miss typoing, what was wrong with this post I made?

The idea was there and you cannot understand it?

Little minds are in the eyes of the beholders.

Drofile I could actually could care less what you think.

You aint stuff.

catiebug, why do you not get with it instead going with the path?

You wish to talk, then PM me instead of putting words out?

Have a fun Biblical Day!

Dude, seriously.

The only question you asked was whether the Bible is "true or false" (or whether it is "fiction") - unless you count the interjection "Stranger than fiction?" to be a real question, but I can't imagine it was anything but rhetorical.

This isn't really a point for discussion for the following reasons:

1 - wrong thread (not even close to the thread's intent)
2 - it is a false dilemma (there are other options than "true or false" or "fiction or nonfiction")
3 - it is unnecessarily pejorative (depending on where you start, one assumed side is actually offensive to the other)
4 - there's no discussion, just non sequitur

Additionally, "Little minds are in the eyes of the beholders" is just surreal in terms of comedy, irony and being cryptic, but that's neither here nor there.

So either post better and resolve those 4 problems, or don't act like everyone else is the idiot. At some point, Occam's Razor dictates that it can't. be. everyone. else.

Funny, never answered the question?

Is the Bible a truism or just a book that has been changed over the years?

If you can answer that question then you are a numero of all!

As far as I can see, there are no answers to those or any questions?

I just finished Tracie Petersons' "Lady of Hidden Intent", and I must say it is one of the best works of period fiction I have read in sometime!

I am actually going to take a break for a bit and read some non-fiction! I just got "Escape" by Carolyn Jessop from the library.

What's ruined? I'm actually still laughing.

I am so anxious for Flame to get here. I'm also reading The Chronicles of Narnia. When I was a kid, I read The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe and The Silver Chair. So now, I'm reading the whole series, in the order Lewis meant it to be in. I'm really excited, it's quite good. I'm working with a 9-year-old who is also reading them and even though that's slightly weird, it gives us a lot to talk about! lol

ETA: WOOOOOHOOOOOOO!!!!! My book just arrived!

In junior high and high school, I read books by Janette Oke that were set in the pioneering days and centered around Marty, Clark and their children. One day I hope to read them all over again from start to finish.

Those were some of the first "adult" (outside of the children's section) books that I read! I love them and to this day they are still some of my favorites!

Have you seen the Hallmark movies based on the books? The first one had Katherine Heigl in it!

I've never seen them, but I saw a commercial recently for them. One day I hope to actually watch them.

The Chronicles of narnia is a great read!!!! Just an aside, husband and I have advance tickets to see Prince Caspian next month AND if you like Chronicles of Narnis be sure to read The Lord of the Rings if you havent already. it has similar themes. Tolkien and Lewis were both in the same literary society and often traded ideas for stories and character development.
