Okay, I know I haven't posted in quite a while, largely attributed to traveling and a Nietzsche-like epiphany (similar to that at the end of Groundhog Day), but I really HAD to put this thought out.
HOW SIMILAR IS STEPHENIE MEYER'S WET DREAM TO THE BIBLE?
Inspired by a Christian friend, who saw me reading Dawkins' The God Delusion (paperback, with 'The International Bestseller printed on the cover) and haughtily remarking that far more copies of the Bible were sold throughout time. "Well," I thought, "How about Twilight?"
So I'm gonna try and make a basic comparison, anyone else who has actually bothered to read Smeyer's sexual fantasies can assist the thread.
1. Both international bestsellers with a cult-like fanbase.
2. Both feature a terribly imperfect, bumbling, accident-prone idiot as the protagonist. (A)
3. Addition of a perfect, beautiful non-human (B) whom the idiot in 2 worships.
4. After severe doubt and horrible distress, B suddenly reveals to A that he looooves her. (remind you of a certain Bible story, also featuring Satan?)
Last but certainly not least,
5. B treats A like sh*t, but that's all because He LOVES her.
That's all I can think of at the moment, please feel free to add!
