chapter 07

I am, therefore I pay taxes.

It is quite simple. Mutation is a beautiful thing. We are a part of it. And we were once ocean creatures.

vs. 1: ... A man does well not to marry. EQ

Paul don't want anyone getting married if they can avoid it. He also don't think anyone should make babies. And we just die out.

vs. 6: I tell you this not as an order, but simply as a concession. 7. Actually I would prefer that all of you were as I am... EQ

I don't wanna be like Paul. Though I have avoided the temptation of sex. With other people. Until I am done with this religious shit. But Paul ain't completely out of it.

It isn't a bad idea to put off getting married and making babies to take time to do something independent of playing house.

A pair can do this as well if they allow each other time to go their own way. Have their own time.

vs. 18: ... he should not try to remove the marks of circumcision... EQ

How the hell can circumcision be undone.

vs. 21: Well, never mind... EQ

vs. 19: For whether or not a man is circumcised means nothing... EQ

vs. 28: But I would rather spare you the everyday troubles that married people will have. EQ

vs. 31: ... For this world, as it is now, will not last much longer. EQ

Dadaism. Jesus laughed.

chapter 08

vs. 4: ... we know that an idol stands for something that does not really exist... EQ

Paul uses the word 'created' and 'one God' fairly often. And this is a sign of ignorance. No stupidity. Paul is far from stupid. But he didn't know evolution and likely not too clear on instinct.

vs. 9: Be careful, however, not to let your freedom of action make those who are weak in faith fall into sin. EQ

This ain't bad advice. Especially when it comes to sex. If you wanna sex up your friends woman or man. He or she might take offence if they believe this to be a breach of confidence.

And many people like to pretend that humans are monogamous. Because they are worshippers of the one true sperm Laws of Moses. Or any other reason.

chapter 09

Paul thinks he can wear me down with his running 'round in circles but I know the end of him is near and the acid trip of John awaits us as a reward for our perseverance. And I'm certain we will find a few more diamonds of truth on the way.

If not, we dig a few out of the blue.

vs. 5: ... by taking a Christian wife with me on my travels. EQ

So. Paul has a woman. And a Gentile to boot. And have sex with.

He seems to be justifying his actions to the Corinthians.

He tells them that when he is with Jews he is a Jew so that he may win the Jews. When he is with Gentiles he does the Gentile thing. For the same reason.

Even if there is no difference.

vs. 22: So I become all things to all men, that I may save some of them by what ever means possible. EQ

Oh, Paul, you tedious fuck.

Let us evolve our language and the spirit that comes with it. The magic that is born out of the brilliance of the real. A thing that is becoming.

And take our part in eternity.
