Check out a Tijuana Bible if you want to see some wild shit

Check out “Little Buddha” sometime. Keanu Reeves in blackface staring as Siddhartha Gautama " Buddha "

If Jesus came to the US he would smack the shit out of all of us

I have given physical copys to a few people over the years and not a damn one read it. They claimed they were " true Christians " , I fear it would have gone over their heads anyhow.

I actually did quit a job that I was previously planning on retireing from after some deep reflection caused by Tolstoy’s writing.

As a kid I was under the impression that was how a Christian would behave and then I became jaded as I grew older. When I read it I thought “that is how they should behave” and it was refreshing to hear someone talk like that.

I personally do not consider myself Christian, I agree with Nitzsche that “there was but only one Christian and he died on the cross” (i can’t remember the exact quote, it was from the book " the Anti-Christ") but reading The Kingdom Of God is Within You sparked a genuine curiosity about Christ and religion in general.

Glad you enjoyed it ✌️

Bad day to be one of the Ramirez’s

How about the overdrafted from buying a couple gallons of gas people. Where you at ?! 👋

I’m going to start smoking two packs of newports a day again. Life was so much better then

Tolstoy was an interesting individual…and a great writer. Enjoy

I agree. Western Christianity is a perversion of the religion imo. To be fair a large part of biblical text has absolutely nothing to do with the teachings of Christ and that confuses a lot of people. A lot of them seem to be quite contradictory to what he was saying.

If anyone is into reading interesting books these helped to clarify Christianity for me. I do not consider myself a Christian ( maybe in my next life) but Jesus was a radical cat and what he did at that point in history was revolutionary .

Leo Tolstoy , The Kingdom Of God Is Within You. This one may turn you into a Vegan Anarchist so watch out

Swami Sri Yukteswar, The Holy Science

Tao Te Ching , Lao Tzu …this one has nothing to do with Christianity but helped me understand what God ( the Supreme Being , God Head, Jah, Allah or whatever you want to call the source) was in simple terms. It’s a quick read

Paramahansa Yogananda, Autobiography of A Yogi.
