i don't believe zerinus or littlenipper ever read it...

this is obvious


You know what, I read 1984 years ago and I can't recall everything about it. This much I know. When you have a piece of literature and it contains two fingerprints, you can't claim sole authorship on behalf of one author.

It doesn't work like that and it makes no logical sense (nor is it intellectually honest) to defend it as the work of one author.

Look it up, buddy. It's in the book.


He doesn't need to. The church trumps everything else. What it alone says is the truth regardless of what even the scriptures say. To Zerinus, the nebulous, indefinieable "church" is his god and truth.

What is wrong with you?


Moses was "translated" so he really didn't die. Hence, he could write about his own "death". Mormonism is just that wacky, and Z-man is gullible enough to believe it all. You will never get through Jersey. Never.

It is a strange thing for zerinus to argue for biblical inerrancy when an article of the LDS faith is the Bible is true only insofar as it is translated correctly.

And that's the closest zed can come to admitting defeat. At least It is an improvement over his "that's stupid" and "nuh-uh" comments.

Where do you imagine that I am "shouting and screaming" in my posts?


No answer to this, of course. Listen if you want to perpetuate a lie regarding your religious text, there is nothing I can do to stop you.

So have at it.

sorry, i don't understand your answer, especially the last sentence; i took leave to underline it

here is the thougth i've referred (see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nineteen_Eighty-Four):
The protagonist of the novel, Winston Smith, is a member of the Outer Party, who works for the Ministry of Truth (or Minitrue in Newspeak), which is responsible for propaganda and historical revisionism. His job is to rewrite past newspaper articles, so that the historical record always supports the party line. The instructions that the workers receive portray the corrections as fixing misquotations and never as what they really are: forgeries and falsifications. A large part of the Ministry also actively destroys all documents that have not been edited and do not contain the revisions; in this way, no proof exists that the government is lying.

repeated...

Choyo Chagas is Chairman of the Big Four, the ruler of the planet from "The Bull's Hour" ( Russian: Час Быка), a social science fiction novel written by Soviet author and paleontologist Ivan Yefremov in 1968.
Six months after its publication Soviet authorities banned the book and attempted to remove it from libraries and bookshops.
