User:Yossarian/Oxfordian design

Oxfordian design (often referred to as "OD") is a theory that maintains certain aspects of William Shakespeare's life, and more specifically his plays, show signs of having been designed (or "written") by Edward de Vere, 17th Earl of Oxford.

Mainstream scholars have rejected the literal interpretation of Shakespeare's works, which clearly indicate a noble born, pseudonymous creator. Mainstream scholars--who support the atheistic belief that university education of the Elizabethan era was not directly comparable in every way shape and form to modern higher education--assert that an uneducated country bumpkin wrote some of the greatest works of English literature of all time.

God
Shakespeare is often cited as one of the authors of the King James Bible. Since it has been firmly established by Oxfordians that Edward de Vere was Shakespeare, Edward de Vere must have written the Bible. Since the Bible is the inspired word of God, many Oxfordian scientists have come to believe that the Earl of Oxford was God, or at least an avatar of God.
