THE NEW NEW TESTAMENT

The Gospel According to LUKE

 

chapter 16

This chapter is so lame. Luke was a knob. The manager of a rich man was wasting money and when the master found out the manager told those who owed 100 of something to change the contract to 50. Or maybe he decided on 80. So they would like him and be nice to him after he was fired. And when the master came home and found out what he had done, he was impressed. Thought the manager was shrewd. And that is a good thing for a dishonest manager.

“What.”

“I think the moral of the story is: don’t try to make sense of holy books.”

The conclusion we are give is: you cannot serve both God and money.

Well, the Priests flipped because they loved money.

But this bit is nice. One could speculate the preceding text was just filler. Keep people from reading farther. Or, tire out the censors so some juicy bits would get through.

GNB vs. 16: “The law of Moses and the writings of the prophets were in effect up to the time of John the Baptist; since then the Good News about the kingdom of God is being told, and everyone forces his way in. 17. But it is easier for heaven and earth to disappear than for the smallest detail of the Law to be done away with.” EQ.

Well there it is. Your holy laws are null and void. Because it has been written. Thus. You can try to hold onto your holy laws and parade around in your clown suits to impress the slave class but your inflexibility has made it necessary to curse the lot of you. Off to Hades.

And Jesus tells them, the rich bastard who held down the poor with his laws and religion, would go to burn forever in Hades and the poor man could go hang out with Abraham. Up there in heaven.

This of course is a crock of shit. And a contradiction to ‘heaven is at hand’.

The rich man in Hades wanted reprieve. And he could not get any. He wasn’t even permitted to warn his brothers of their evil ways.

Abraham was a pimp. For those who think he was a man of God. All the great heroes of the bloody bible were tyrannical pricks. Women hating thieving murderers.

Don’t Obey. The Law has been revoked.


chapter 17

“Work hard. Die well.”

Life has given us silly mad myopic primates more than any other creatures and we lash out at it in blind rage and assault it with a brutal violence more viscous than the asteroid that wiped out most of the lizards to give us space to evolve.

We have contented ourselves with mute obedience to the slugs of hell that lead us to our destruction with the promise of a paradise in the world of the dead. It would be better for those pricks if a millstone was tied around their necks and they were drown in the deepest ocean.
Or they were hung up from their testicles and their eyes burned out and they were forced to listen to private news channels in foreign languages.

“Jesus, what are you on about.”

“Those who propagate ignorant hate. Those who have made themselves Gods over life and with armies of ignorant soldiers enforce their laws of slavery, war and plunder. They will not be forgiven. For they know bloody fucking well what they are doing. Vile slugs of Hell.”

“How do we get the faith.”

Luke has it that if you get the faith you can tell a mulberry tree to uproot itself and replant itself in the sea. Just as stupid as ordering a mountain into the sea. However, a nice variation.

“If you have the faith of a milkweed seed, you can tell a pumpkin to go fly a kite. Or you can tell a horse shoe to bake a cake.”

“But why would anyone want to.”

“Fuck the faith, brothers. Faith is for fools. Get the feeling. The smelling. The hearing. The tasting. Speak and understand your language. Know for a certainty that you are. You are a part of the matter that is the matter of what is. You are an ageless creature that has evolved up out of the slimy mud puddles of the earth to find consciousness. You have found that you are one of the all that has become part of the journey back into a young universe. This now is heaven for life creatures. We have landed. Rejoice and celebrate the day, every day from now until forever. We are the gods. Back again. Create. Become. Enjoy the never ending journey.”

“Jesus.”

“What.”

Jesus laughed, as did his disciples.

“The ignorant will say, this is my job. I do what I am told. And the ignorant will pretend to them selves that this is good. Their participation in life is no longer their responsibility. They have done as they have been told. This is a fantasy from the story that has become old.”

Then came ten men with skin disease.

“Jesus. Take pity on us.”

“For fuck sake. Stop putting that expensive dead snake and vermin oil on your skin.”

“But the man said I am lower than a tax collector if I don’t give out big money for petroleum based, perfumed, extravagantly package and marketed products. That I will remain a peasant. That I shall wither and die.”

“Tell the man to stick his dead vermin and rotten snake oil up his ass and shut his lying garb or you’ll rip off his head and shove it up his camel’s ass.”

“But even the priests recommend it.”

“Are you trying to make me angry.”

Jesus laughed.

GNB vs. 21: “The kingdom of God is within you.” EQ.

This is the big secret. Like the Acres of Diamonds story. Don’t be looking for it here or over there. Don’t believe the lying pricks that tell you they can take you there or show you the way. Don’t join their die and go to heaven death cult.

It is in you. And this is basic physics. This is billions of years of evolution and instinct.

We are the gods.

“Blasphemy.”

GNB vs. 37: ... “Wherever there is a dead body, the vultures will gather.” EQ.


chapter 18

So there was a priest and he was praying up to God and giving thanks.

“What about the widow that kept pestering the judge till he finally did what she wanted.”

“How about the kid that kept screaming until he got an ice-cream.”

So the priest thanks God that he wasn’t a sinner like the fucking peasants. He reminded God that he fasted twice a week. Said he didn’t have sex with anyone outside of marriage except for 12 year old alter boys. And that’s okay because it was ancient tradition. And assholes don’t count.

And Jesus told the disciples that the tax collector that wasn’t an arrogant hypocrite had better cards.

Bloody shit. This thing keeps going round in circles. Luke is trying to wear us down so we don’t get on to tearing Paul apart page by page. But we will not surrender. The Laws of the writers who have told us that the laws of Moses are over and repeat the laws of Moses not but a few verses later will be classified as ancient dribble and categorized as a terrible mind fuck over bad business whores of war prick Satan’s servants enemies of life.

“Every time they try to make us servants of some lie.” Quote from Jackson C. Frank

“How do I get to heaven.”

For fuck sake. Last chapter they tell us the laws of Moses are null and void, in this one they, Luke, tells us Jesus passes out the laws of Moses as an answer how to get to heaven. Who is responsible for this.

“It is hard to get a rich man to pull a camel through the eye of a needle.”

“Especially if it is rusty.”

“Or the camel doesn’t want to.”

I’ll tell you one of the things they are doing, besides beating the shit out of meaning, the writers of this book. They are convincing the peasants that the rich are the losers because when they die they go to hell. And poor people can go to heaven. A consolation prize.

“You can not hide your light under a basket. Either it goes out or you burn your basket.”

GNB vs. 29: “Yes,” Jesus said to them, “and I assure you that anyone who leaves home if wife or brothers or parents or children for the sake of the Kingdom of God will receive much more in this present age and eternal life in the age to come.” EQ.

“What’s that mean, again.”

“Whatever you want. Maybe nothing at all.”

“I want it to mean something pretty.”

“We had this a few time. Let’s say this time: a child must grow up and leave its parents. It must abandon old convictions. Take on the adventure of life. Face the world on its own. Learn the world and know it from its own perspective. Make its own decisions and make its own friends. Find the Kingdom of God is the nature of its consciousness.”

“Good teacher, how do I get eternal life.”

GNB vs. 19: “Why do you call me good?” Jesus asked them, “No one is good except God alone.” EQ.

“Answer the question.”

“You don’t get it. It is and we are in it. There ain’t noting to get. You just gotta clean the windows of perception.”

This Jesus is not good is good to remember. If Jesus was real, he was not holy. If anyone was real, they were not holy. There is no such thing. Good. No one is good. The best one can hope for is that someone is not too tedious.

Why did and do the priests call Jesus good. Why do they write his woman out of the story. How come priests have us believe that Mary the mother of Christ and at least six other kids and even Christ are to be pure virgin sinless special once in a planet’s life time events.

I’ll tell you.

Because they are lying pricks. That is why they call Jesus good.

We are here. We are animals. And we fuck.
