The Bible's Second Coming - William Furney
THE Bible is back.
Verily I say unto thee, the secraphic tome is making a stealthy reappearance.
Often touted as the world's best selling book - only occasionally surpassed by a new Harry Potter - it is also the world's best never-read book.
(blablablablabla...)
An online reviewer of the former (The King James Version Bible), porsie from Borneo, said, "I have attempted to get through this novel again and again, and it wasn't until i realised that it had a whole... load of authors that i understood the reason it's so unevenly written... The creation of the world in seven days? Give me a break! It takes that long to drive across US..."
(blablablablabla...)
And while we may not like to attest, the Bible has become so ingrained in Christian lives that it naturally spawns generations of doppelgangers, albeit for financial, narcissistic and un-altruistic gain: The Beauty Bible, The Ultimate Guide to Smart Beauty; the Sales Bible: the Ultimate Sales Resource; and what about: Bad Girls of the Bible And What we Can Learn From Them (Wisdom for today's woman from strumpets Jezebel and Delibah)?
(blablablablabla...)
Life is so RANDOM.
