Fictional or Religious

Post by M Deedee »

Would you say the book is more fictional than religious? Considering the additional stories added, would it prevent reading by children and others who do not know the true stories?
Don't say it's Impossible if you haven't given it a try.

I would say it is a religious book. The plot is religiously written, and it covers events from the Bible. This is a transparent surface or path that it's was religiously written. Bible verses was also used.

The book itself is Fictional whose plot is written on a religious basis. It takes someone who understands the Biblical scriptures to understand the story line of this novel.

The book is religious. The whole book covers a plot that is written in the Bible and Bible verses are used.

I think it is a fiction based on religious grounds. Children and others who do not know the true stories can still read this book. They can just read the Bible later if they got wanted.

It's fiction based on a biblical story. I don't think that makes it unsuitable for non-religious readers. The story of Adam and Eve is very well known.

This book is the mix between fiction and religious, but maybe it's more religious than fictional. Most of the stories in the book talked about the the Bible.

A fiction book is an outcome of an idea based story, it need not be a fact sheet. The reference of a religious stanza or any verse is alright to prove the plot; by doing that, it won’t mark the book sole religion book.

It is a mixture of fiction and religion but the fictional part of the story takes nothing form the religious. The reader has to know the story first, this provides a useful foundation of understanding as the dots are connected.

This is a religious book written in a frictional way. I wouldn't say it would do much to mislead those without a clear understanding of the Bible but I would however, advise people to read the Bible as well just to have a better grip on the original story.

I think the book is fictional based on facts from the bible and stories from it, but I think most people who want to read it should first know a few things about religion to properly understand this novel.
It was books that made me feel that perhaps I was not completely alone.

Honestly, I believe that it all goes on interpretation. But considering how I was raised, it is more religious than fictional.

The book is religious, yes. But it's more fictional. I wouldn't advise anyone without knowledge of the true story to read the book.
