Holy shit, this was probably the best thing I've ever read. Even without any religious significance it might have for me, it's just a really great poetic story.
The speeches express so much raw emotion and it tells so much about the human condition despite being such a short and simple story.
What's /lit/'s opinion on this religious literature? What's /lit/'s favorite religious literature.

What are some good well researched books that explore in detail the topic of Christianity being a thoroughly semitic movement fabricated and perpetuated by the eternal jew in order to control the white man on a spiritual level by supplanting Europa's völkisch Óðinnist traditions with semitic desert cuckoldry during times when the jew's usury becomes ineffective?
I've been redpilled on this issue for years now but would like to brush up on the topic so i can better argue it and uncuck other white nationalists who still partake in the crucifix jew.

If you write fiction or poetry: which philosopher most influences your writings?

the two things (poetry/fiction and philosopher) are not necessarily are stricly interrelated.
>>
>>7879471
No shit.
>>
>>7879475
yep, no shit at all.
most important i don't see why a writer should be influenced by a philosopher rather than by some other writer. in fact write can be also philosophy but philosopy rarely can be also something differente from himself.

Do you know any essays on the topics that are treated in "Brave new world"? Such as how pleasure can be used as a way to dominate the masses, or critiques on hedonism and so on.
