A rhetorical black hole or a tear in the fabric of reality. A fracture in the truth continuum. So it goes with all things politic.Originally Posted by teddyv
Reality is only for those who cannot deal with their fantasies.
Narcissism is a required disorder for politicians.

No--because if I did that I'd probably AGREE with what I was reading. Then I'd be contradictory and confused like I am now. If I keep from agreeing with either of them, I can maybe keep my head from exploding.Excellent! This would have been perfect is Steve switched the hands the books were in.

This is nice. A thread on a Christian forum with the purpose of mocking a man.
While you are on this site, don't debate to win and prove yourself right, but discuss to learn and find truth, and to encourage through a humble spirit. God Bless
Ephesians 4:1-3
As a prisoner for the Lord, then, I urge you to live a life worthy of the calling you have received. Be completely humble and gentle; be patient, bearing with one another in love. Make every effort to keep the unity of the Spirit through the bond of peace.

Ya know, I feel the EXACT SAME WAY about the Harry Potter series. Haven't read more than the first two books but the writing in them was pathetic. Only further confirmed my belief as to what was fueling their popularity...
Genesis 12:3
Maybe it's like art and music, once you make a name for yourself and you're established, you can put anything out there and people think it's talent.I can honestly say I really wonder how some books get published because the writing is so very bad.

I'm not mocking Beck personally, but his attempt to sell a novel based on nothing but his (undeserved) celebrity, when he so clearly has no talent for writing prose, deserves nothing but scorn.

The writing gets better after the first two, and it wasn't too awful in those. Rowling's prose is nothing but functional, but at least it functions, unlike Beck's or William P. Young's (and really, it's unfair to expect more in children's genre fiction). And the plot, in particular, is extremely well-executed, while the characters are enjoyable and relatable without necessarily being well-defined (again, children's genre fiction).
