I won't even meme, the chaddest way is to read while listening to audiobook on 1.25 - 1.5 speed.

There was a book discussed here by some anons last year or something like that, about a holy paladin woman who was apparently blessed by their god and she was immortal. I don't know what the book was about but I want to read about holy devout god-warriors and turbo crusader-like protags smiting the evil out of the world through sheer faith.

Does anyone know what I'm talking about?

Heretics is the best Dune book. The scenes where Teg awakens is some of the best I've read in all fiction.

Just finished the first chapter, at 5476 words. I'm so happy that everything went so well, it was so smooth to write and piece together. I'm actually excited to start the second chapter after a quick reread.
I'm finishing Ringworld before, though. It gripped my interest.

>Why do you think God forgave our sins and why did he allow us to sin in the first place if he is all powerful?
I'll ask the second question first.
I don't think God is all powerful. All encompasing? Yes, but not all powerful. The presence of God is everywhere in existence and can be felt at times. Anything with a sufficiently large amount of processes is conscious, and so I think God is literally the active universal consciousness. Every star, even our Sun, HAS to have some form of consciousness. Hell, we have consciousness and we're so vastly limited compared to what's out there. The universe as a whole NEEDS to be alive. And that's God.
Anyway we're taking the bible at face value, and the bible is a poor, old, innocent text used and abused by -them- and that's a very grave sin that I'll never forgive.
No, I don't believe that the abrahamic God is all powerful almighty, omniscient and omnipresent. I believe that the true God is the universal consciousness, that we can somehow also tap into, but it's a knowledge that's been lost and forgotten.
But I also believe that life on earth is not supposed to be nice. Life is made possible by the emergence of chaos and chaos, by definition, is undefined. It needs no explanation.

Why God forgave our sins? He didn't, your consciousness will still face destruction after your physical death unless you accept the truths of god and see the world and universe for what it is. Even in the poor old bible, if you don't accept jesus as your saviour you're NOT forgiven.
If you do, though, then you'll join within the whole that is God, heaven, as energy and mater never disappear. Perhaps in a million years an apple tree will grow out of your grave and someone will eat an apple that's literally you, and what you've been goes into that person's physical composition and so on for eternity. And the wood is used to make a table, that will sit in someone's home for a few centuries until their descendants decide to burn off old things, and the ash will get blown by the wind and maybe it'll be food for some worms whop get eaten by a bird. That's reincarnation.
But this is so beyond the understanding of mere limited humans with their narrow scope, that I don't think I'll be able to ever properly explain what I sense and feel.

met a rare uniorn that enjoyed reading and writing and we talked long and hard about the whole process of writing books, although she was more into history.
Granted I'm still the kind of person that browses 4chan on the regular (ugly, autistic, degenerate, resentful, cynical and all that) and she never liked me more than a "friend" she can talk about books with. It took me all my strength to cease all contact with her because honestly it made me feel bad knowing she'll never love me.
That was a couple years ago and I've since made great progress on myself (went full /lit/fit/ wrote 90k+ words on my book and finished hundreds of books since)
As a side effect I became an actual real life social reculse. My job, going to the gym, reading and writing takes 99% of my time, even my eating/sleeping time

sorry for the blog
