This is the single greatest book I've read. Yet every review of this book talks about bullshit like fascism and militarism. This book centres on a single question that grows louder through the book:>Am I my brother's keeper?Is it your job to make sure other people are safe and happy? If it isn't, who else will do it?Unironically the best book I've read.

>>25086634I haven't read it since I was young, mainly what I remember about it was how amazingly dry it was, especially for a book about space Marines in robot armor fighting giant bugs.

>>25089122Verhoeven literally did not read the book, man.
>>25089436And you believe that? Come on, don't be so dumb. It's sprezzatura to wave away the anxiety of influence. The book is a three hour long YA novel.
>refers specifically to one persontime to retire this nonsense, don't you agree?
>>25080576Right? I'm so tired of this nonsense the nonbinary narcissists push like they've outsmarted you. >someone left this bag behind. I bet they'll come back for itFine >I saw a woman accidentally walk off without her bag. I bet they'll come back for it. Not fineSimple as.

>in everyday life, they and their are going the way of you in the 18th century. The pronoun you was once regarded as a plural, the singular forms being thou (nominative) and thee (objective). Gradually, beginning in the 1300s, you came to be regarded as alternatively singular or plural.

Idk, I like camels and would appreciate if anyone could give me some titles of good book about camels.
The Fearful Void by Geoffrey Moorehouse is a riot of a book. Not sure if camels come out as the good guys in the end though.
Op isn't a faggot on this one guys
>>25084383>Camels Over the Sierra Nevada, Durlynn Anema
I was just reading about camels a few days ago, don't remember why but I read through the various wiki entries and bunch of other stuff.
Chingiz Atmatov’s 'The Day Lasts More Than a Hundred Years' heavily features a camel and, in general, Kazakh/Kyrgyz steppe camel culture.
Suicide is abolished by all means and is considered the ultimate sin by all religions (Except some sects of Gnostic religions), But have you ever asked why is it abolished?My answer is that as Mainlander's theory formulated that God commited suicide through the big bang and Spinoza formulated that god is just attribute and modes of the same substance (even though he didn't state it the same way as Mainlander) and Schopenhauer stated that there is a will-to-live that keeps consuming everything on its path but he pussied out by stating that we should only abstain whereas Mainlander commited suicide to prove that's the only solution for the Will-to-Death, Like a Whale that explodes vehemently in its death, We are like that.So suicide is to become like god and to kill yourself.
>>25082926I am god
>>25082772t. Kirilov
>>25082772If suicide makes you a god that that means our universe is full of teenage drama queen gods who accidentally OD'd while trying to get attention, and edgy school shooters like that tranny from Canada. Suddenly the universe makes sense for being so broken and evil.
>>25088642Would you shoot this person in the face if he asked? Not really, right? But it's okay for you to instigate his death through here because you are a coward and your life has no meaning other than trying to look cool around a bunch of anonymous people on the internet.
>>25082772Mainlander and Zappfe got it right.

>>25084164>the fact the covenant with God is still in effectUtterly false. This is a heresy.>It seriously must be some kind of psychosis brought upon by being terminally online and brainrotted by the culture warFalse. It's Biblical, and has been the teaching since the time of the Apostles, and reaffirmed by the Councils. The fact that you are ignorant of this is an indication of your brainrot because the teaching has been repeated daily for the last 2000 years.The Catholic Church dogmatically declared at the Council of Florence that to observe the Mosaic Law after the promulgation of the Gospel is a mortal sin and those who do are alien to the Christian faith and face eternal damnation (pic related).The ceremonies of the Old Law pointed to Christ. To observe them after the promulgation of the gospel is to deny indeed that Christ has come and fulfilled them, as St. Thomas Aquinas has pointed out:>“...the ceremonies of the Old Law foreshadowed Christ as having yet to be born and to suffer: whereas our sacraments signify Him as already born and having suffered. Consequently, just as it would be a mortal sin now for anyone, in making a profession of faith, to say that Christ is yet to be born, which the fathers of old said devoutly and truthfully; so too it would be a mortal sin now to observe those ceremonies which the fathers of old fulfilled with devotion and fidelity. Such is the teaching Augustine (Contra Faust. Xix, 16)...”Summa Theologica, Pt. I-II, Q. 103, A. 4>universalist religionCorrect. The Catholic Church is Christ's one universal Church.

>>25085956He's the anti-Messiah, the messenger of something akin to the evil false God in gnostic writings. So where the true God sent Jesus as a humble carpenter to spread love, forgiveness etc, the Messiah of the Demiurge comes as a giant, polyglot ubermensch and spreads the message that might makes right, and so on, because that is what the creator of this material universe intends for it. Not that I think it's really necessary to invoke all of that, it's enough to say that he is just the personification of a cruel universe built in violence and material 'stuff'. But it's interesting that McCarthy seems to like the idea that Men, at least some, can have something like the Divine spark in them, the ability to rebuke all that violence and build something better from it. If I remember correctly he calls it the flame or the fire or something in The Road, and the spark imagery is in the epilogue of Blood Meridian too I think (been awhile since I've read it). And that's all the stuff that The Judge seems to dislike the most, things like economics and law taking the place of pure war and violence. The former he perverts where he can; the latter he disapproves of in the vision The Kid has of him observing the counterfeiter.
