In the interest of impartiality...

Sat Nov 7, 2009, 6:26 AM
Looking through the notes in the back of the ' Paradise Lost' editions we're studying in English, and couldn't help but pick up on the Editor's faith a little bit;

"Since humankind is distinguished from beasts by possessing a soul and a reason, to choose to worship a beast is to deliberately degenerate. What modern equivilant can you think of for such a false choice?"

...
Yah, this is in the notes. It's not part of the fiction. This is the little footnotes and explanations at the end. Supposed to be impartial, yes?

Can't help but think the task of this is a little anti-everyfaithexceptChristianity. Basically reworded; "Some idiots worship animals. These people are stupid barbarians. Can you think what these pagan heretics might worship today, if the almighty Father in Heaven hadn't rightfully sent a plague on their houses and wiped them out, and list why they would be wrong in this belief?"

And to anyone who's thinking they're smart, and gonna point out ' Paradise Lost' was written in a time when the above quote would be common opinion, I'm afraid this edition is 1998. You know, that year we unanimously decided animals were nothing and there was only the one true God T_T

...what do you mean I sound like a crazy maniacal schizophrenic who shouldn't be allowed out without a guardian? I'm sure you'll change your opinion once I've performed this lobotomy on you. Everything'll be much better, you see. Yes.. *laughs maniacally*
