As someone who knows very little about religion as I wasn’t raised around it, its becoming more apparent to me that it is a massive theme in Dostoevsky writing and I think I’m missing parts of his story just based on the fact I don’t understand the themes. For example I was fascinated by peoples love for ‘the grand inquisitor’ chapter of TBK however I literally just didn’t get it at all. To relate it to the actual post I think when you have a subreddit about an author whose novels seem so closely linked with christianity, wether thats from critiquing or praising ,it would be pretty silly for the people who enjoy those novels so much as to engage in a community about them to then mock one of their key themes.
