chapter 01

vs. 2: God, who does not lie, promised us this life before the beginning of time, 3. and at the right time he revealed it in his message. EQ.

This might actually hold truth. But we would have to go back over 13.7 billion years to when there was no space-time.

“So we were piloting into a big black hole and God was the captain and said. Okay, here we go, hope to see us all in less than 14 billion years.”

“Possibly. It was us as God that knew we were taking the journey through the ultimate singularity to burst into the hell of a new universe. Same, at least in nature, as the last universe. And it would be about the same time before the universe was to a point where we had, in some form, evolved into creatures aware.”

“And we were likely created then in our own image.”

“Not created. It is the nature of this universe like it was the nature of the universe before it.”

“So the universe is God.”

“The universe is the universe. It is what it is no matter how we name it. It does not play games with us. It does not choose. It has a physical tendency. And life comes after the elements that life requires. And we come when life has allowed for a creature with a big brain that can perceive that it is where it is.”

“Maybe elephants can too.”

“I don’t doubt it. Unfortunately for them, we have the thumbs and fingers.”

“And the nice legs.”

We have the elements necessary for life. Visit some star clusters and there will be no life. There aren’t enough heavier elements.

But we got them here in our Milky Way. And chances don’t need to be one in a billion, and we’d have life. And life will be us. The gods.

As we may well have been gods in a universe now dead.

A universe as ours has offspring.

We are inevitable.

Which is like a promise. Of eternity.

Vs. 6: an elder must be blameless; he must have only one wife, and his children must be believers and not have the reputation of being wild or disobedient. EQ.

“Ay, now there’s the rub. How can an elder force his children to believe. For even if a child is raised in the church like King David was, or maybe especially if a child is raised in the church, if a child comes to the conclusion that he or she does not believe for he or she cannot believe and from his or her point of view belief is madness than that child cannot be forced to believe for belief is a state of mind referred to as faith or insanity and at best, from the point of view of the elder, can only lie and pretend that he or she believes. And in so doing he or she will suspect that is exactly what everyone else is doing so that they can belong to the biggest club in town and thus reap the benefits of the social connections and business connections.”

“And as a result, one of those children will grow up to be like you and decide, against all odds, to take on the role of a Christ and attempt to bust open a big hole in religion because insanity seems an inappropriate state of mind for the gods of eternity.”

vs. 10: For there are many, especially converts from Judaism, who rebel and deceive others with their nonsense ... for the shameful purpose of making money. EQ.

“I thought religion was for the purpose of making money.”

“It is partly. It is mostly for the purpose of keeping the masses ignorant slaves. Or as some prefer to call us, working class.”

vs. 12 “Cretans are always liars, wicked beasts, and lazy gluttons.” EQ.

A Cretan said that. It don’t make it true. However.

“He might have been lying.”


chapter 02

Paul perverts Jesus. Or better said. Paul is the character of Moses without all the action. An interlude till Mohamed who is less of a letter writer and more like Moses. An illiterate mad war mongering dictator.

Women don’t be drunk slaves to wine. Or pharmaceutical chemical downers.

vs. 5: ... be good housewives who submit to their husbands ... EQ.

vs. 9: Salves are to submit to their masters and please them in all things. EQ.

Which includes remaining quiet when being raped. Masters and soldiers expect rape as a benefit of their job. Or course not all masters rape their slaves and some soldiers are not raping when they have sex with the locals in the land they are invading or protecting or policing.

It isn’t the best way to mix up the genes, from a social critical point of view, but it does get the job done.

Vs. 13: as we wait for the blessed Day we hope for, when the glory of our great God and Saviour Jesus Christ will appear. EQ.

Stop waiting.


chapter 03

And what did Edgar Allen Poe say. “The world won’t end in a big bang but a whimper.” Something like that.

“How about, ‘The end of the world will come with and exhausted whimper.’”

“Okay.”

Vs. 1: Remind your people to submit to rulers and authorities, to obey them. EQ.

Not.

It is okay to be nice to them for they are the cripples. They are holding onto the dark ages and fear the reality that they are not above the rest of us. They have sat for so long on their thrones of illusion in the theater of madness that for them it will be a hard fall to land in the real.

But the time, if there ever was one, to submit to rulers and authority is over. Rulers are tyrants especially if they demand submission and with so much still unknown, authority is relative. And anyone who is wise and knowledgeable enough to be considered an authority will not require submission. He or she will be pleased with a little appreciation and attention to what it is they are passionate.

Vs. 6: God poured out the Holy Spirit abundantly on us through Jesus Christ our Saviour, 7. so that by his grace we might be put right with God and come into possession of the eternal life we hope for. EQ.

The evolution of life that comes after the evolution of the elements allows for the evolution of instinct and love and language which is not really holy but very much spirit in as much as it can not be held onto physically. Jesus Christ does not save us. Jesus Christ is a personified idea that is us. Our nature as creatures awake not ruled by man made laws but by common sense.
