I have bought in pretty heavily to Bill Wright’s notion about an interstellar reading of the BoM. Until recently I’ve operated from the perspective that the notion is valid, mainly because I like it. Over the past few weeks I have been deep in study of the BoM and am now operating from the perspective if making Bill’s theory conform to the BoM rather than the other way around.
I’m neck deep in a few topics right now that I really want to blog about but I’m just not quite ready. I want to have some more answers before I put them out there.
I’m still thinking about WJT’s BoM space exploration analysis. There’s an idea I can’t shake. The BoM is an utterly unbelievable book if you place it in the world we know and with humans as we understand them.
I was telling my wife about WJT’s space-narrative takedown and my response to it. She is certainly more inclined to WJT’s reading than mine but she reminded me of something from a show she watches called Young Sheldon.
Last week I had a very busy work week so I didn’t get to post a few things I had planned to do. Maybe that’s for the best since the story I am trying to flesh out has taken some real hits lately.
My dwarvish origin story for the Bible has hit quite a snag — or more like it ran into a buzz saw — over the weekend. For context, consider this handy timeline of the Old Testament I found via Google image search:
There is a friend of mine who blogs by the name William Wright (WW) or in normal life as just Bill. Anyone who reads this blog probably knows who that is. Bill has been regularly blogging about the same strange worldview that this blog presupposes — where Mormonism supposedly collides with JRR Tolkien’s writings.
[Note: I set the stage for this post in my last post about the corrupted Book of the Lamb of God and in the post prior to that which proposes a potential origin story for this world’s ethno-religious group called Jews. You really need to read those prior two posts to have a chance at understanding this post.]
For the past several years I’ve been convinced the Holy Bible is a pretty unreliable and even dangerous book filled with inaccurate information that is designed to lead people astray. As a result, I rarely read it and if I do, I take it with a rather large grain of salt.
I’ve mentioned this in at least one other post, but I don’t think the words “Jews” or “Israel” etc from the BoM refer to our modern usage of those words. I think they instead refer to Noldor elves, the House of Finwe, which is likely not a surprise to anyone who reads this blog (if anyone does read it). That idea comes not from me but from books written by Daymon Smith.
