JESUS 101:
¿really don’t want to do your english essay? take a blinker for me, you, the hoes, yo mama, and God. then get around to starting that cult u always wanted…the ones with vague allusions to a primal feminine rage and faux-cannibalism…
and so i write unto you, my beloved, in hopes i may have love with u 5evah. but i digress…in my experience with one of the many extreme religions, i’d like to wager that any religion that insists on “belonging”, requires an identity from you. this group-assumed identity often lacks the nuances of an actual human being and leads to a lot of, at the deep frustration of gnosis, stagnation…
id like to start this venture off with a little deconstructive exercise in how religion informs one’s sense of identity; therefore, restricting the self. (hows that for a thesis?) personally, i have been informed by christianity and not much else, so forgive me for solely depending on it, but uhhh anyway, in scripture God’s like literal name is pretty much
I AM THAT I AM.
and that’s, like, a really powerful idea to me. thats the sort of identity i want. hey guy……..we should be like God……..i struggle a lot with identity and i have taken a lot of solace in always depending on the fact that i am that i am. literally works all of the time. try it out on your priest or bishop, or even the folks at home! who are you? I am that I am. what are you? I am that i am? why are you? I am that I am. whats your name? I am that i am. got one of them pronouns? she/they. as easy as pie. shrimple as that! no matter what, we are who we are, and if we learn to accept the fact that a God of all things good has to be infinite in both existence and goodness, then we can actually start believing it. if you wanna listen to Jesus, that really smart and really cool mysterious guy that we’re all somehow best friends with? His God is the God of love and thats pretty cool i think…if you think thats cool then we should be friends, and hang out and love each other so much that we start thinking that love is God. and i found this book that dubiously recorded all that neat stuff Jesus said. but that was like 2024 years ago exactly and so the only stuff thats totally real is that Jesus was just another minority killed by angry romans. i adore the new testament, that shit is peak, and REALLY shoves that whole love wumbo jumbo down your throat. tastes like bread and wine, terrible stuff. anyway, heres what i liked in there.——read em’ and weep liberals——

2 John 1:5-6 “But now, dear lady, I ask you, not as though I were writing you a new commandment, but one we have had from the beginning, let us love one another. And this is love, that we walk according to his commandments; this is the commandment just as you have heard it from the beginning—you must walk in it”
1 Thessalonians 3:12 “And may the Lord make you increase and abound in love for one another and for all, just as we abound in love for you”
1 Thessalonians 4:9-12 “Now concerning love of the brothers and sisters, you do not need to have anyone write to you, for you yourselves have been taught by God to love one another; and indeed you do love all the brothers and sisters throughout Macedonia. But we urge you, beloved, to do so more and more…”
John 15: 12-20 “This is my commandment, that you love one another as I have loved you. No one has greater love than this, to lay down one’s life for one’s friends. You are my friends if you do what I command you. I do not call you servants any longer, because the servant does not know what the master is doing; but I have called you friends, because I have made known to you everything that I have heard from my Father. You did not choose me but I chose you. And I appointed you to go and bear fruit, fruit that will last, so that the Father will give you whatever you ask him in my name. I am giving you these commands so that you may love one another”
