Chapter 1
1 What it is, my brotha? This here be me revelatin’ to
you about the Tenement Gospel as so stated by God his own self, so that the
muthas who be prisoners of the Gospel of Disaster might be doin’ something to
be settin’ theyselfs free.
2 Now, the folks who be preachin’ the Gospel of Disaster
be sayin’ that they scriptures be the complete and indelible truth, but this be
a bunch of horse shit.
3 The reason for this be simple, ‘aight? They main
problem be that they faith be based on a load of frightening prophecies that be
making no damn sense no how. Now that be what we gonna be talkin’ about here,
you dig?
4 But before I gets into tellin’ ya’ll what ya’ll should
be lookin’ out for an’ shit, I wanna be greeting you and thankin’ you for being
here and readin’ this, ‘aight?
5 So, with all the love in the universe that be making up
what God be, I bless you and hope that all thangs be goin’ well for you and all
of yours, you dig? Know in your heart that wherever you are, so God is there
also regardless of whether or not you want him to be.
6 I have been charged by God and all that be making up
what God be to write this book so that ya’ll know the truth about what to be
expectin’ from the nut cases who be spoutin’ off about the Gospel of Disaster.
7 Now, these things be coming to me through a dream,
granted a really whacked out dream that in all fairness could have been a
direct result of the mow I smoked. I am writin’ these things exactly as I herd ‘em
or saw ‘em in my dream, ‘aight?
8 In my dream I be standin’ on the most beautiful, white
sand beach that be havin’ the most gorgeous blue water. And stuck in the white
sand be these really cool lookin’ tiki torches.
9 And standin’ near these tiki torches was this servant
guy who be bringin’ anything I be askin’ for. So, I gots a really cool drink in
a pineapple. Now the guy standin’ near the torches be havin’ Rasta braids and
be smokin’ really great mow.
10 And dude says to me, Ya’ll be writin’ this down,
foh-shizzle, so people be payin’ attention to what they should be doin’. And if
people be sayin’ to youz that they don’t be havin’ the info that they be needin’
you tell them they full of shit,
11 For everything that people be needin’ to be knowing in
order to be livin’ happy and healthy and abundant lives be all around them if
only they be openin’ they eyes and they minds and they hearts and they spirits.
This be the truth, my dizzle.
12 And tell this to people so that they be knowing that
there ain’t no alpha and no omega, for everything be now and all at once, you
dig? That be what Jesus be tryin’ to tell people about what the ‘I Am’ be
meanin’. It be meanin’ oneness with the ‘now’, you dig?
13 Now folks needin’ to be knowin’ that there ain’t no
big damn tribulation that all that be makin’ up God in this universe be making
people to be going through. Don’t ya’ll know you be making all your own
tribulations?
14 God ain’t tryin’ to put people through more of that
shit! Hell no! God be trying to help ya’ll get yo asses out of the bad things
you done gone and did to ya’lls selfs.
15 So youz go and be writing down everything that I be
telling’ you so that hopefully somebody be payin’ attentions an’ start gettin’
shit right, you dig?
16 So, I done told the guy with the Rasta braids who be
smokin’ a doobie that I be doin’ exactly like he be tellin’ me an’ writin’
everything down.
Chapter 2
1 And a voice said to look and I looked, and I saw nine
golden pot bongs standing in a thick haze of smoke from the most holy mow. Then
did the voice say, It is four and twenty.
2 Then was a righteous doobie passed unto me and I did
smoke of the most holiest of mows. Then a voice said, You must be hungry.
3 I turned toward the sound of the voice and, behold! I
saw a man clothed in the garment of an ice cream man, girded about the chest
with cinnamon buns, his hair was the blinding salmon pink of cotton candy,
4 His head was a nacho tortilla chip and his eyes were
watermelon flavored ring-pops; his arms were fruit roll-ups and his fingers
were golden corndogs; his thighs were carne asada burritos and his calves were
churros;
5 His ankles were hickory smoked turkey drumsticks and
his feet were buttermilk biscuits with sweet potato toes.
6 As I began to eat the ankles and the toes of the man
before me he spoke, saying, Know that the things I am about to tell you are the
things that those of the Gospel of Disaster say are about to take place, but
never will,
7 Or they are things that those of the Gospel of Disaster
normally be spoutin’ off about for one reason or other.
8 And I be fallin’ at the feet of this fella an I told
him that I was not into lisnin’ to some puffed up scriptural mumbo-jumbo that
said I was going to be burning in somebody’s hell. And he said to me,
9 No, Bozo! I am not gonna preach that crap to you. I am
telling you what to look out for from the people who do preach that crapola for
shits and giggles and for the purpose of scarin’ the beejesus out of everybody
on the planet who don’t be believin’ like they do.
10 Now, listen up! The folk who be teachin’ the Gospel of
Disaster shall be claimin’ all kinds of signs and symbols and messages in damn
near anything that be happnin’ or not happnin’, you dig?
11 Now some of the messengers of the Gospel of Disaster
claim to know that the works and labors of those of the Tenement Gospel are
evil and that the preachers of the Tenement Gospel are false apostles.
12 The reason why those of the Gospel of Disaster claim
the teachings of the Tenement Gospel to be false is because such a message
preached is not one they wish to hear about,
13 For the purveyors of the Gospel of Disaster do not
wish to hear that they have completely departed from the message of love of the
universe, and in doing so they have also left God,
14 And instead of treating their fellow men with
acceptance they point to them and say, Look! They are doing this wrong! Look!
They are doing that wrong!
15 He who has half a mind to hear don’t listen to those
of the Gospel of Disaster, for such say nothing worth hearing when they preach
about the things they hate and the people they hate and the practices they
hate.
16 It is true, however, that those of the Gospel of
Disaster who overcome the urge to hate and detest and abuse others shall in
turn overcome the fruits of the Tree of Disaster, therefore reverting back to
the love that comprises what God is.
17 And some of the messengers of the Gospel of Disaster
say that to suffer tribulation and poverty and grueling life demands is in
reality to live with richness and wealth in life,
18 Yet, these very same messengers become very rich and
live comfortable lives with the very same money they beg for and take from
those who really are poor and suffering in the depths of poverty;
19 Such messengers slander the faith and the love that
they supposedly preach, and in doing so neglect all that is God.
20 And they tell their flocks to not fear or worry about
their seemingly endless well of suffering in the now, for those suffering are
told they will be rewarded most richly in a distant, later life,
21 For the Gospel of Disaster states that its followers
must be faithful in everything, even unto death. In return the faithful are
promised crowns of life, but a faith that preaches death in the now and life in
the later is doomed to disarray.
Chapter 3
1 And some messengers of the Gospel of Disaster say that
all other faiths are like double-edged swords and cut the hearts of those who
hold alternate faiths or no faith at all, and cut the ears of all who hear
messages of different faiths,
2 For the Gospel of Disaster claims that all other faiths
are stumbling blocks and not intended to bring people to God, but rather to
take people away from God. Such messengers say,
3 Lo! Faiths of a different origin are from Satan and
therefore do not qualify as a valid belief.
4 The messengers of the Gospel of Disaster say that all
other faiths and members of such faiths must immediately repent of their wicked
faiths and their wicked ways lest they be cut-off from the truth of the Gospel
of Disaster,
5 For those who believe differently than peddlers of the
Gospel of Disaster will find that a holy war has been declared upon them under
the guise of preaching a peaceful gospel,
6 And it is in such a cause that those of the Gospel of
Disaster say that their faith is the one, true faith that is above all others,
saying,
7 To the man who has ears to hear, let him plug them up
so he will not have to listen to the sin of all other faiths,
8 For the God of the Gospel of Disaster promises that
those who listen only to him shall be given special stones that no one else
shall receive or even know about.
9 And there are those messengers who claim that God hates
the tolerance of any faith other than theirs, calling all other faiths sinful
and evil and filled with idol worship. 10
The same messengers even accuse believers of other faiths of being wicked
fornicators and of purposely sacrificing the truth, therefore giving just cause
to treat other religions as adulterous in nature,
11 For according to the Gospel of Disaster members of
different faiths or no faith at all shall be thrown into the fires of a great
tribulation,
12 But I say to you to never fear these things for they
shall never be. Those of the message of disaster shall claim to have authority
over all other nations and religions, but this is one of the biggest bullshit
lies in the history of religion.
13 If a man has the ears to hear then he shall do himself
a favor and never lend an ear to the Gospel of Disaster, for such a gospel that
is steeped in fear can never bring about anything nurturing or beneficial.
14 And much like a neglectful parent toward an unwanted
child the Gospel of Disaster labels all other beliefs as dead in faith,
ignoring them as though they were bastard children.
15 Messengers of the disastrous faith say that no man is
saved by works, but then these same muthas turn around and point to other
faiths, saying,
16 Look what they are saying, look what they are doing,
look at what they are believing, and look at what they do not do. We are better
than they are for the works we live by are loved by the one, true God.
17 The messengers of disaster become a source of great
distain amongst many nations, and they claim such distain as a sign of their
longsuffering, but in reality it is everyone else who suffers at the hands of
those that are caked with the muddiness hate.
18 It is God that blesses anyone who has the endurance
and tenacity and the patience to ignore and put up with the crap of the Gospel
of Disaster.
Chapter 4
1 The scriptures of the Gospel of Disaster cannot be
truth since they were penned by a bunch of picky bastards who only chose to
write about what they liked, what they wanted to hear, and about those things
they could use to control people with.
2 Such people are blind so long as they hold onto the
Gospel of Disaster, for so long as they fail to see the many paths that lead to
God, they shall not have eyes that recognize anything of great or lasting
value.
3 When venomous men such as these come to your door and
ask for the ears of your heart, do not let them in for they will only devour
you and the objectiveness of your spirit.
4 After I was shown all of these things I was given
another mega doobie of the most holy of mows and told, Smoke up, for you will
now be shown those things the proponents of the Gospel of Disaster shall say
and do during what they think is the end.
5 Then I was made non-corporeal and taken before a very
large throne made of skeletons that had been dipped in gold, and upon the
golden skeletons were green emeralds with many small rainbows seeping out from
them.
6 And around this large throne of golden skeletons were
many, many smaller thrones identical in appearance, and upon the miniature
thrones were many different manifestations of those who preach the Gospel of
Disaster,
7 And behold! A voice said unto me, Look at these who sit
here one these thrones made of skeletons dipped in gold. They have convinced
themselves that they are above all because they have built a throne similar to
the one they claim to be God’s throne,
8 But the very throne they claim to be God’s throne is
the same throne they created in secret and labeled in secret to be God’s own.
Though they claim to have discovered this throne it is not so, for they worship
their own creation.
9 One cannot discover what one has created. That is some
stupid shit.
10 Standing in the midst of all the thrones is a great
beast with many sharp teeth, hateful red eyes, razor sharp talons of the
hardest metal, a tongue of fire, the belly of a dragon, the feathers of a
chicken, and the whiskers of a catfish.
11 And the beast had many eyes and many mouths from which
came many negative words and phrases, and those sitting on the thrones looked
upon the beast with awe, bowed to it and prayed to it. Then a voice said to me,
12 See these people on the thrones worshiping this beast?
These are the proponents of the Gospel of Disaster. Do you know what the beast
they worship is? It is the fear that they rely on in order that they control
people with their blind rhetoric.
13 And behold, a dead horse, and the men standing astride
of it were beating it in order to get it to comply with their wishes, but it
would not respond for it was dead. Crowns with the word ‘Dunce’ were given unto
the men who beat the horse,
14 For they were trying to sell the dead horse in an
effort to pass it off as something valuable. Unto the people who passed them by
they said, Come, buy this horse and it shall till your gardens and take you
anywhere you wish to go.
15 And when some people passing by asked why the men were
trying to sell a dead horse the men said, It is not dead, only resting. For the
men who buy this horse and manage to wake it, it shall be an asset unto them.
16 It came to be that some of those passing by the men
with the dead horse paid them no mind at all while others simply wanted to
stare at the carcass and yet others wanted to buy it.
17 And behold, I saw a green horse, and the man who sat
on him wore golden armor and held a great sack of money. The horse had a bridle
and a saddle made of pure silver. And this man had the ability to speak sweet
words to people in order that they give him their money,
18 For he promised them that if they gave him money he
would lead them to the eternal way and to a special seat in heaven next to
Jesus.
19 Then I turned, and behold, I saw a blue horse, and the
man who sat on him was crying and his expression was one of great sorrow. And
to this man was given the burden of a heavy heart,
20 For he allowed the destructive promises of his
supposed faith to divide him from his family and from his friends and from
society.
21 And I looked again, and behold, I saw a yellow horse,
and the man who sat on him was trembling with great fear. And this man was
consumed by the non-sensical rumors of what might happen to him when he would
die,
22 For this man chose his faith according to the terrible
tribulations that that particular faith promised to save him from if he would
only believe.
23 Then there came a great noise like an air horn at a
football game, and I saw all of the lives of people who chose to wage war in
the name of God and of faith, and they cried out, What is this that we have
done to each other?
24 For we say we know the mind and the love of God and
then we murder each other, burn one another’s cities and towns, lay waste to
lands meant to sustain the life of people, and even commit heinous suicides
thinking it makes us martyrs.
25 And as these people are reborn many consign themselves
to try to compensate for the atrocities they enacted in their previous lives.
Chapter 5
1 Then a loud voice said unto me, Listen and write this
shit down, ’aight? Now those of the Gospel of Disaster be sayin’ some crazy ass
shit about some supposed End Times Tribulation and a great Judgment Day.
2 And they say that the End Times will happen when God no
longer wishes to allow people the chance to choose either the Gospel of
Disaster or death, and will instead choose death for those who never made the
right choice to begin with.
3 Those of the Gospel of Disaster will use absolutely
every tactic possible in an effort to scare people into believing their crap
spin on the spiritual matters of the universe, and with each natural disaster
and with each great war waged they shall say,
4 The end is near! And with each great quake, each tidal
wave, each volcanic explosion, each collapse of a mountain, each outbreak of
any plague, each downfall of a government, each shortage of food,
5 Each violent political volley, each great war waged
between nations great and small, each uprising against political despots, each
unusual occurrence in the heavens, and each misunderstanding of supernatural
matters those of the Gospel of Disaster say,
6 Look, these are the signs that all is going to end!
These are the signs that we are right and have always been right in clinging to
our destructive faith. God is angry and this is why all of these terrible
things are happening!
7 For those of the Gospel of Disaster just can’t seem to
get it through their thick heads that an earthquake is an earthquake, a tidal
wave is a tidal wave, and a volcanic eruption is a volcanic eruption,
8 And all of such things naturally occur in and on the
earth upon which people live, for the earth is living and growing and changing
at all times, just as the men who walk upon its surface.
9 But the purveyors of the Gospel of Disaster persist to
misinterpret natural processes as confirmation of their twisted faith, taking
the descriptions of such and forcing them to fit into whatever prophecies they
can conjure up from their scriptures.
10 And in the last book of their prophecies those who
preach the Gospel of Disaster go all out and say some really, really crazy
shit. Write these things down so you will remember them. And I did as I was
commanded by the voice and wrote.
11 And the voice said, There is a prophecy that there
will be four angels at the four corners of the earth that shall withhold the
wind and its power. The problem with this prophecy is the fact that the earth don’t
be having no goddamn corners, ‘aight?
12 But these prophecies were written in a time when men
still thought the earth was fucking flat. So, there goes the prophecy of four
angels holding the winds from the four corners of the earth.
13 Right after that prophecy is one that says that an
angel commands the other angels to not harm the earth and the sea until the
slaves of the God of the Gospel of Disaster have been sealed upon their heads.
14 Now, not only does this make an absolutely absurd
picture in one’s mind, but do you get the strange sense of detachment when
instead of saying everyone who does not believe is going to get killed the
angel says the earth and the sea will be harmed?
15 This is a classic example of trying to disassociate
with those who are considered doomed, right? Never mind the people who are
supposedly going to be harmed, let’s just talk about the earth and the sea
getting harmed. How stupid is that?
16 So, those who are supposedly doomed are not worth
talking about or mentioning, but the earth and the sea are. That right there
ought to give people a real sense of the lack of appreciation and respect the
Gospel of Disaster has towards a lot of people.
17 What I find of particular interest about this
particular prophecy is the fact that it states that the slaves of the Gospel of
Disaster will be sealed with a mark upon their heads. Slaves. Notice it does
not say believers, it says slaves. Need I say more?
18 Another prophecy says that the throne of God will be
surrounded with a mass of people in white robes which have been made white in
the blood of what they believe. There are actually quite a few of these types
of prophecies,
19 And it is these prophecies in particular that the
fundamentalist-terrorist-whack jobs latch onto to defend their maniacal
religious behavior. They spilled blood, their own or someone else’s, in an
effort to overcome and sit about the throne of God.
20 They are martyrs who receive even greater favor from
the God of the Gospel of Disaster for sacrificing themselves. Again, this type
of crappy-doo religious philosophy only encourages idiots to do stupid shit in
an effort to gain God’s favor.
Chapter 6
1 Then was another mega doobie of the most holiest of
mows passed unto me, and I was commanded to smoke, and I did. Then the voice
commanded me that I continue to listen to the absurdities of the Gospel of
Disaster. And the voice said,
2 Listen to these hypocrisies of the Gospel of Disaster.
Now it says in its last book of prophecies that angels stand before a golden
altar and light incense to go with the prayers of people to God,
3 So you tell me how the Gospel of Disaster can pass
judgment on those different religions that also use altars and also burn
incense to go with prayer? How is it okay for one faith and not for another?
Maybe because the angels are doing it. Whatever, man.
4 Then there is a lengthy description of hail and fire
and all kinds of crazy shit falling from the sky along with the sun and moon
being darkened. Now, those of the Gospel of Disaster are crafty in trying to
make all of this sound like doomsday,
5 But the simple truth is they are describing meteor
showers, asteroids, comets, and solar and lunar eclipses. They can try all they
want to make it sound as scary and horrible as possible, but these things are
what they are and it is no mystery.
6 Now we get to the crazy of the crazy prophecies where
there is a great hole that opens up that thick smoke spews out of, and with the
smoke these mega locusts with scorpion stingers come out and hurt all the
people who do not believe the Gospel of Disaster.
7 Now, what is interesting is these scorpion-locust
thingies are supposedly given the power to torture all men without the seal of
the God of Disaster, torture them for not believing in the Gospel of Disaster.
Nice.
8 So, never mind freewill, right? Because if you have to
believe in something in order to not get tortured and burned in hell forever,
well then your ass don’t be havin’ no goddamn freewill, you dig?
9 Getting to the part where the four angels who were
supposedly holding the four corners of the earth, quite a feat considering the
roundness of this planet, were loosed these same angels are supposedly given
the power to kill a third of the people on earth.
10 And why would they be given this most dastardly
assignment? Why, all of this mayhem is intended to turn the hearts of men to
the God of the Gospel of Disaster. Sound like a nice God to you? Believe in me
or die? What the fuck kind of bullshit is that?
11 It gets better, though. Another angel makes yet
another announcement in which followers of the Gospel of Disaster are referred
to as the slaves of the God of Disaster. Here we go again with the disastrous
faithful being labeled as slaves.
12 True faith never, ever enslaves anyone. But that is
typical of the Gospel of Disaster to try to force their bitter pills down the
throats of people under the promise that someday it shall taste sweet. It is
all a big giant crock.
13 Then there are the two witnesses that have all kinds
of power over the natural processes of the earth. They can make rain or stop
rain. They can make fire come from out of their mouths to devour their enemies
and turn water to blood.
14 And why would these men do this? Again, it is
supposedly all for the purpose of making people believe in the Gospel of
Disaster. People do not choose to believe the Gospel of Disaster, they are
frightened into believing it.
15 The voice said to me, Look into their scriptures and
you will find mention of a mighty quake that kills thousands and thousands of
people, and those still alive are so scared and terrified that they immediately
praise and give glory to the God of the Gospel of Disaster. This is not choice.
This is not freewill. This is not the love of God.
16 The very idea that any being would rule by persistent
and consistent use of fear is indicative of such a ruler being a tyrant and not
in the least bit worthy of a leadership position, much less the adoration of
followers.
17 Then comes the description of a whole bunch of stories
that all sound incredibly similar to the stories of creation and destruction
found in cultures all over the earth and from many different times in history.
18 There are descriptions of a dragon chasing a lady who
is helped by an eagle and who eventually has some kids. Then the dragon gets
pissed and spits out a river to destroy the woman, but the earth opens up and
swallows the water, helping the woman.
19 Then you have a mega beast loaded with heads and horns
coming up out of the ocean. Not only that, but this beast is a patch quilt
since it has body parts from a lion, a bear, and a leopard. Sounds like someone
went shopping for monster parts at the thrift shop.
20 It gets better. So, then this mega beast has another
mega beast pal come up out of the earth. This beast don’t look no prettier than
his predecessor.
21 Together the two beasts go about the world trying to
force people to believe their brand of religious hodge-podge, and if they don’t
believe it then they cannot buy or sell food, an shit. Sounds awfully similar
to not allowing people to live unless they believe in the Gospel of Disaster.
22 These stories are nothing new in reality. They are all
the same stories people have swapped over thousands and thousands of years in
an effort to amuse themselves, and somewhere along the line people started
taking the shit for real.
23 None of it is anything new or special or unusual or
enlightening. All that happens is throughout history the characters are
shuffled around a bit, names are changed, and ta-da! You’ve got a whole new set
of religious stories on your hands.
Chapter 7
1 And the voice once again said to me, Listen and write
these things down so that people may know of the absolute stupidity with which
they try to control each other through what they hold as faith,
2 For their ridiculousness travels to the furthest
reaches of the mind and of the universe and all that is.
3 And they say some of the wackiest shit, like when they
say that one hundred and forty-four thousand men will be standing around a
throne and singing a song no one else can learn since they, the guys singing,
are virgins and the other people aren’t.
4 Then comes this gi-normous war called Armageddon where
everything and everyone that is contrary in the least bit to what those of the
Gospel of Disaster preach are completely decimated and destroyed,
5 And as if that were not enough of a punishment, after
these rabble rousers are decimated they are made to live an eternity in
absolute torment.
6 And all of this po-dunk crap is what the Gospel of
Disaster is about, ‘aight? Destruction and torture of those who either wish to
believe otherwise, or maybe not even believe in anything at all.
7 That is not a message of salvation.
8 All those who choose to worship all that is divine from
a different angle are called idolatrous and evil and wicked, never mind that
all of these religions have the same symbols, albeit under different names and
in different orders.
9 That is not a message of redemption.
10 All those who do not live according to how those of
the Gospel of Disaster say to live are automatic enemies of the God of Disaster
and his followers, unless, of course, they change their minds and decide to
live as they are told.
11 That is not a valid message of hope and faith, and
absolutely nowhere near anything even remotely similar to freewill or the
exercise thereof.
12 So, what happens when the supposed end of time passes?
Why, there will be celebration in heaven, but only a celebration attended by
those who bought the Gospel of Disaster hook, line, and sinker.
13 The Gospel of Disaster is nothing but a vengeful
conglomeration of spiteful words and prophecies intended only to divide people
and give just cause to those who would wreak terrible destruction on those who
believe differently, or not at all.
14 It is wrong to rejoice in something that preaches so
much hate and so much destruction and so much misery.
15 It is wrong to rejoice in something that devours hope
and revokes even the half-assed promises made to men.
16 It is wrong to rejoice in something that is persistent
in preaching the cutting down of those who believe differently, smiting here
and smiting there wherever a differing faith and opinion can be found.
17 It is wrong to rejoice in something that preaches only
one way and one answer and one vision and one faith and one understanding of
love and one path, for just as there are men and have been and ever will be,
there are many paths and faiths and answers and understandings of all that love
is.
18 And no matter how much death and destruction is
preached by anyone this cannot change the truth of love and the truth of
everything in love and of love and for love and to love that comprises all of
that which is God.
Chapter 8
1 Do not be deceived by the fear that so many will try to
teach and preach, for giving into such fear can only take from the goodness of
all that surrounds you.
2 Of course, that does not mean your ass needs to go out
and start harassing those of the Gospel of Disaster, no. Simply don’t listen or
give into their bullshit that always ends up dividing people one way or
another.
3 God and salvation and redemption and everything that is
love is not just for those who chose to worship the Gospel of Disaster or any
other similar faith or any different faith, or whatever.
4 God and salvation and redemption and love and wealth of
being and of who the individual is, well that is for everyone, and it doesn’t
matter what the fuck you choose to believe, you dig?
5 So, contrary to what some faiths may believe they do
not own the sole rights to these things.
6 Simply live you for who you are. Find your joy and run
with it, developing it unto perfection and adding something beautiful to the
world and the earth and the people around you with each life that you live.
7 There are so very many beautiful things to experience
and to share, and that simply cannot be done by limiting faith and love and
hope and peace and all such things.
8 Find the faith that fits you, a healthy faith that does
not preach salvation through fear. And if you grow out of that faith then find
another. And if you decide you do not wish to have a faith, then don’t have
one.
9 It really isn’t that difficult for a mind to grasp.
10 Live to love, and love to live.
11 Do not live to instill fear. Do not live to instill
hate. Do not live to encourage division. Do not live to hold one faith over
another.
12 Live to love, and love to live.
13 When someone tries to bully you with hellfire and
damnation, walk away. Do not allow such ridiculous fear into your life and
heart and mind.
14 And live for the day! Everyday is a good day, ‘aight?
Sometimes the situations of the day can be pretty shitty, but the day is all
good so take that and run with it and do something wonderful and beautiful with
it.
15 Do not waste your time neglecting the present in
exchange for something that is less than a giant maybe. Maybe does not cut the
mustard. This is a precise universe that does not deal with maybes. Maybes are
only in the minds of people.
16 And the more that people decide to live with an open
heart and mind the more and more beautiful life everywhere becomes, because
that is life. You don’t have to be a member of a special faith in order to see
the beauty of life. Just open your eyes.
17 Live the way you are intended to live and bring honor
and joy everywhere you go, and when you converse with your fellow man look at
the things that you have in common instead of distorting the things you think
separate you,
18 For the supposed separation perceived by so many who
are steeped in fear is a lie. And wars have been fought and continue to be
fought and will be fought because of this lie,
19 And it is this terrible lie that says, My God is
better than your God. My faith is better than your faith. My understanding is
better than your understanding. Yea, even, I am going to heaven and you are
going to hell. But do not allow this lie to become your truth.
20 Live in compassion and love and joy and peace and hope
and happiness and you will find all is yours.
21 This is the truth, and no amount of fear or spiritual
terrorist teaching can change it. No amount of any faith claiming to be the one
and only truth can change this. No amount of threats of an Armageddon or final
judgment can change this.
22 Living in fear, spiritual or otherwise, is not a
normal way of life. This being the case, stop living as if it were.
23 May all that is great and grand and glorious in this
most excellent universe find its way to you, and may the love of all that
comprises what God is always be seeded deep within your heart, an’ that shit,
my homey, be how it really be goin’ down.
24 Peace out.
