  i've been knee deep in this netflix series "stranger things," which is a science fiction show about a group of adolescent friends in a town where a government lab has been doing experiments.

  it took me like a year to get around to watching it.

  but so glad that i finally started.

  i have just began to read the above.

  yes he is the man who created the fictional detective sherlock holmes.

  in his first story called the "scarlett letter" he deals with (i stress this is fiction) with a couple escaping from the new paradise just founded in utah of the mormons.

  The Scarlet Letter is a novel by Nathaniel Hawthorne.

  Doyle’s first novel with the Holmes and Watson characters is titled: A Study in Scarlet.

  The two stories have pretty much nothing in common other than a reference to a particular color of red. Please try to get your facts straight.

  It's Goofus and Gallant for JWs:

  

  It's behavioral modification propaganda for children ages 6-12 or their intellectual equivalents!

  “The God of the Old Testament is arguably the most unpleasant character in all fiction: jealous and proud of it; a petty, unjust, unforgiving control-freak; a vindictive, bloodthirsty ethnic cleanser; a misogynistic, homophobic, racist, infanticidal, genocidal, filicidal, pestilential, megalomaniacal, sadomasochistic, capriciously malevolent bully.” ― Richard Dawkins, The God Delusion
