It's simply the best antidote to socialism and collectivism ever written; all the wisdom of Atlas Shrugged in a more-entertaining format, and a fraction of the verbiage.

Animal farm novel by George Orwell is a fiction ..................There are spiritual demons and fallen angels who look like animals , which most are very hazardous to people if curses are in place, like people been attacked by a herd of demon war pigs could put a man on the floor in disability pain unable to get up ....., and there the spirit of antichrist who looks like a goat with a goat tee beard and two horns on his head , which is a fallen angel.......then there is a grey horse and rider who come to destroy and a fallen angel..........there are serpents who are fallen angels ............which would be a animal farm menace...................and spiritual seven headed dragons fallen angels which would be a circus freak animal farm ...........See these celestial beings are not a myth but it would be great if they were

It is an analogy -novel. Fiction, obviously, but a critical parallel of the Stalinist state. I take it you are making a religious point about interpretation of the Bible?

My goodness. What an imaginary world you live in. It must be awful to spend your one live here jumping at shadows and imaginary 'demons'.

Many years ago when I was still working I had the misfortune to have such a person on my work staff...it was quite an experience.

I am reminded of someone's remark that I read a few years ago to the effect that there are no gods or demons outside in our head.

In any case, I do wish the OP would have made/or would make explicit his thoughts on the connexion between Orwell's great book and Christianity.

I would have thought that a herd of war pigs could easily kill a man. Normal pigs can.

Do you really believe the author intended for it to be non-fiction?

Not quite that. But, when you think about it, it is more like a parable. I take it that to describe the gospel parables as just 'fiction' would have you say that is missing the point.

It is fiction if taken literally
It is nonfiction if taken allegorically.
In other words it is myth
