Self righteous abstraction. Get in the game and live it.

What is this so I can stay away? The dialogue is stilted as fuck.

Crap. Youre right. My bad

Who said it was a book review?

Yes

What's the book called??

That was lifted directly from Ghandi. “I like your Christ, I do not like your Christians. Your Christians are so unlike your Christ.” -- Mahatma Gandhi

That tracks....

When the subject is politics or religion, you're gonna get excoriated no matter what you say. Tends to draw the crazies.

Nope, new world/universe completely. It's Europe/North Africa in the middle ages, but different religions/citys have the power and a lot else is different too. (I mean, vampires and a female 12 year old pope, right?) If you're an Abercrombie fan I'd be surprised if you didn't dig it. I loved it!

On page 310 so far and loving it. My wife and I are reading together, her on audio and me with the hardcover, and it's fun to confer after getting through parts. Abercrombie delivers.

Come on you guys!

It’s FANTASTIC. Rumor is Cameron wants to nab film rights.

It's more light hearted, written to a more general audience and a bit more accessible. I loved it, but it just takes itself way less seriously. Leaned more into humour than grit and cynicism.

It's jauntier. Like an adventure. Feels closer to Best Served Cold

He's not wrong.

The Devils, Joe Abercrombie

The vampire was being supercilious (changing the subject from hating the church to a critique on the religion) and snide (pointing out a problem with church religion).

Evangelical World keeps repeating Satanic Panic, with minor variations, over and over and over again. Pizzagate, Qanon, Trumpism have led in a straight line to the current mass hysteria moment, walking the same well-trodden paths from fifty years ago.

Those "christians" love Paul. They're planning is to make sure the end times occur during our lifetimes.

Anyone can say they're Christian but how many are truly Christlike? Actually treat another the way they'd want to be treated? Love their family? Friends? Neighbors? Even their enemies? 🤔

Actually very much appreciate the historical perspective. Thank you for that.

Greed ruins everything, even religions who are against it. Also I make music about anything, the last thing I made was a song about Hans Niemann (the cheating chess player). So if there is anything you'd like me to make a song, just reply and I might do it if I think it's a cool idea.

Same :)

That’s a great book… It’s an even better audiobook. Steven Pacey is amazing.

(an ultimate religion)

That author really wanted to say something. And it hits.
