Yes, you are right. The Bible is nothing more than crude propaganda against Jupiter, Juno, Venus, Apollo, and tutti quanti.

Not a novel, then.

Oh, does it now? According to whom?

Many Christians think Luther was wrong about that. Are they not believers?

A lot of novels are propaganda productions. The very best propaganda is distributed in the form of hard hitting popular novels, and in our modern world, screen plays.

'Propaganda' can be summed up as literature (or other forms of media) produced with the deliberate intent of leading others to think and to act in modes that propagate and advance the views and causes of the writer(s).

Are you familiar with the works of Samuel Clemens or Ayn Rand?

An example, please.

Sheshbazzar

Obviously you are not familiar with the literatrure of Samuel Clemens or Ayn Rand.
Examples; Samuel Clemens novel 'The Diary of Adam and Eve' is Atheist propaganda.
Ayn Rands novel 'The Fountainnhead' is anti-communistic, pro-capitalism propaganda.

But popping back to your post #104; What is media sotto?

And you will notice that in these two posts I have mentioned 'the media' .

It's supposed to be humorous, as befits the reputation of the author.

Upon what premise is the propaganda (as alleged) based?

Sheshbazzar

Have you read it? It is humorous and entertaining...and also pokes a lot of subtle fun at the ridiculous beliefs of religionists.

Read the book. Learn something. If you don't understand the premise of the book after you read it, ask for the opinions of respected literary scholars. Because you sure aren't going to accept anything that I might venture to offer here.

Oh, and before I forget, I'd like to thank you for your assistance here in demonstrating that one of the most amazing miracles in the Bible is true! That it really is possible for a ignorant and stubborn braying ass to use human language.

I'd even weigh out and pay you a few Hebrew silver shekels, but then shekels are of value to men, not ignorant asses.

Theists generally do that far better, though.

Aha. Then I tell you what the premise is.

See what I mean.

Sheshbazzar

Prove it.
