I wouldn't say pagan, either, but naturalistic. Pagans, as I understand it, think their gods are supernatural.<br /><br />It's an exciting book to read, though.<br /><br />Thanks.Martin LaBarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14629053725732957599noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9661811.post-84040568083149847352009-07-30T09:02:38.361-04:002009-07-30T09:02:38.361-04:00wow really? i think as far as literature goes, it ...wow really? i think as far as literature goes, it was a wonderful book. now, religous wise, maybe it is blasphemy. i found it interesting that he walked in jesus' footsteps. i think that the author was just trying to phrase god and man in a way that summed it all up. if you think of how he described it, it was as if man was made of god's womb. a piece of his consciousness pulled apart from him, and sent into man. i think that sounds about right, without going into the details of genesis. =) what do you think? do you think he could have just been using metaphor, or do you think he was taking a pagan approach?cottongodzillahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10286238978503240687noreply@blogger.com
