That is an English language word used for several grammatical purposes. These include use as an adjective, conjunction, pronoun, adverb and intensifier; it has distance from the speaker, as opposed to words like this.

The word did not originally exist in Old English, and its concept was represented by þe. Once it came into being, it was spelt as þæt (among others, such as þet), taking the role of the modern that. It also took on the role of the modern word what, though this has since changed, and that has recently replaced some usage of the modern which.

The word that serves several grammatical purposes. Owing to its wide versatility in usage, the writer Joseph Addison named it "that jacksprat" in 1771, and gave this example of a grammatically correct sentence: "That that I say is this: that that that that gentleman has advanced, is not that, that he should have proved."[1] That can be used as a demonstrative pronoun, demonstrative adjective, conjunction, relative word, and an intensifier.[1]

It's scripture

>>24760108
Scripture is a type of literature.

>>24760111
Not really

>>24760115
Can you define what a work of literature is and how "scripture" (religious fiction) doesn't fit into it? I can see how a street sign wouldn't be considered literature but I don't see what you're trying to say.
>>
>>24760119
>"scripture" (religious fiction)
>>
>>24760115
In what sense? It was written by people. It's as much literature as any historical account.
>>
>>24760129
I suppose you could maybe make an exception for texts that are supposed to have literally come directly from God himself, but Christians do not believe this about the Bible.
>>
>>24760129
Well if you want to treat it that way then it's mogged immediately by any normal book
>>
>>24760140
I don't know about that, but in any case that's not an argument against it being literature.
>>
>>24760122
what else is scripture supposed to mean?

My threads I guess because anytime I make a thread expressing my honest opinion people seethe and call me a democrat (even though I'm a libertarian)

Perhaps its finally time I hand in my media literacy card and wander into the chuded earth, bringing science to the scienceless... I'm too reddit for this site.

BM is totally glazed on Reddit and they love discussing all the yummy references and their favorite epic Judge Holden moment. It's a perfect book for fat manchildren who want a taste of something edgy with no merit beyond invoking more interesting works.

I guess it's a great first book coming from Marvel films, following the exact narrative structure of capeshit with a 'mature' cowboy twist.
