.....but since the Charlie Brown cartoon is a myth nothing written in it is valid or has any value whatsoever. It is only myth! hahaha!

I really like when he ends his post with maniacal laughing. Reminds me of Vizzini* just before he drops over dead. ;)

*Princess Bride ref.

Lol I imagine it really dry and awkward, with no one around, stopping abruptly in complete silence :p

It certainly is a silly thing to say isn't it? It's really silly when people say the same about the bible....
Charlie Brown is a cartoon, hence it is fictional. It would be more logical for you to explain that the writings and teaching of The Bible are fictitious. You're getting your terms confused sir. That's why I was a tad confused. Is this reply substantial enough for you newbie? That and apparently you're probably not American and your English typing may be choppy.

Fictitious, mythical potato(po-tay-to) potato(po-tah-to) what's the difference? My point is what does it matter if something is historically correct or not it doesn't mean there isn't any value to it. I don't think the bible was written as a history book. I think wisdom can be found even in a Charlie Brown cartoon. It seems irrational to me to not consider something useful if it can't be proven factual.

Waaaaaaaaaa no one likes my holy book! *crosses arms*
Obviously it has value to plenty of people, it sells well, last I heard. Get off it.
The trouble is when that value is making law and fact out of things that aren't law and facts. Hence this joke :)
