Re: House of Leaves

Re: House of Leaves

I prefer my books to be coherent. I put this book in the same lot as James Joyce "Ulysess" - it is so confusing people think it must be great if nobody can understand it. I prefer to read books like "The Structure of Scientific Revolutions" by Thomas Kuhn, "Parallel Worlds" By Michio Kaku, "Catch-22...

Jehovah's Witness theology is ultimately derived from the ancient heresy of Arianism which denied the deity of Jesus (and the Holy Spirit). It was addressed by Athanasius and the first 2 Ecumenical Councils in 325 (Ephesus) and 385 (Constantinople). The final result being the the Nicene Creed. I bel...

Ok, I gotta ask....why not? I suspect he is taking the position Easter is a pagan holiday that has been incorporated into the Christian calendar. (ditto for Christmas) There are two views on this: 1. These holidays should not be celebrated by Christians since they are basically pagan holidays that ...
