My feeling on the Bible is it's not fair to judge people's actions that long ago using our standards though it seems we like to be judged using Biblical standards.


Pray for me too, I basically said the Bible was boring and should repent. Though some people I sit next to at church probably would not approve of lyrics like "man has to be his own saviour" like from Silver. Or something about "tempted by the lie that there is an answer in the sky" (Never Stop) That song got them into a bit of trouble with saying "the king is dead and long live the people..." sorry, I don't repent. Still love those Bunnies and the idea of a Rabbit God, Echo.

Ian says he's never owned a computer, he also says he doesn't know how a mouse work and said twitter sounds like twat. Umm.... However, he could have made chicken scratchings in a journal and then had someone do the typing and editing. He also might have dictated the stories. Hard to say... I mean, he did pass his A levels, so a UK person will have to fill us in on what those are actually worth. I was a pretty decent writer after high school here.


So the question remains--why not then just say it's a biography rather than an autobiography/memoirs? Is it really going to sell better?

Just because he never owned a computer, doesn't mean that he's never used one. Be careful about believing 100 percent of everything he says.

That being said, I imagine he gave a series of interviews to a real author and that is the person who will be writing the autobiography. Do you really see Ian busy scratching out his life's story with a pencil and yellow pad?
