Hi serbstra, do you think there are libraries out there the public doesn't know about that holds banned or other books they don't want the public to read?

Throughout history there have been some books which have forever shaped the course of mans destiny. Books such as the Holy Bible, the Noble Qu’ran.
Ok did you actually read the qweeran? What makes it noble in your mind, what makes it even rational? Nothing noble in providing entitlement to kill infidels and take their stuff, unless it's that you can join up and get to kill infidels and take their stuff now, too.
I've no problem discussing possibilities of what doesnt exist, fine time and no worries and discussing fantasy is a fine rorschark test, but a noble qweeran? It is to my mind the most un noble work in print, and I was hoping initially to find something of value in it, what a disappointment, it's essentially a psychotically rambling entitlement manual of how to exploit others for wealth. It's ok to have an opinion once youve learned the subject, but an ignorant opinion is at best an unguided weapon and no good can come of misrepresenting reality.

The Gnostic's aka: Pagans filled libraries with their writings, 99.9% have been destroyed, only fragments are left. The Gnostic's were Cosmologists, Shaman's, Remote Viewers and were on the level of Yogi's, they actually mapped the heavens rather accurately and much of what they wrote is only now been validated by modern scientists. They wrote that our solar system was in a Galaxy which Hubble proved in the late nineteen thirties.

Of all the books which are assumed to be lost or destroyed surely the most interesting might be the book written by Jesus.

John 8. It is the passage about stoning the adultorous woman. He is being questioned by officials about the case, and rather than reply at first, he quietly stoops down and begins writing something in the sand/dust with his finger. No mention of what it was...

Great thread OP! This reminds me of George Orwell and the "memory hole." Who knows how many countless pieces of history have been lost because the written accounts of the time conflicted with the current beliefs of the ruling elite.
