Some parts more than others. It is, however, vastly over-rated. Lucius Alexander The palindromedary and I should go read Numbers 22 again....

Lord Liaden Posted April 24, 2018 Report Share Posted April 24, 2018 Looking at the Bible from the perspective of a non-believer, it reads as a mix of mythology and philosophy. Some of the myths are powerful, and some of the philosophy is profound; I would call those parts worth reading. But as a book, a lot of it isn't very well-written, and pretty boring. And a lot of its subject-matter is very dated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It kills any tension and prevents real character development. Dead characters should stay dead. The lead character’s powerset also seems like a randomly generated mishmash. ?

Bazza Posted April 24, 2018 Report Share Posted April 24, 2018 To better understand the Bible, read The Bible In 100 Pages which gives the 'big picture' overview. Ps: How did anyone read GQ to find this out? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But we're waiting for Harry and Meghan to give birth in America; their child would be eligible for both the throne and the presidency. Of course, the only way for him to occupy both offices simultaneously would be if we added the UK as a state. (Well, four states, if we're in a generous mood.)

He or she would be at best seventh in the line of succession as it stands now. They might possibly be lower still depending on whether William and Kate have more children. There has been some criticism of the royal couple siring three kids when most Brits are unable to support even one or two. The royal Family does not access the Treasury proper, but does own vast amounts of land on which they can collect rents. So they have the money to raise a LOT of kids. Americans love the British royals, ln part because we don't have to live with them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edit: And besides if you are reading GQ chances are you don't care about things like history and culture (or for that matter anything educational or with a deep enough meaning you'd get your feet wet.)
