My Dearest Michael,
You can say no. Let the torch pass to another. You have suffered
enough already. There is no need for you to battle alone. If God wants
to kick Satan's ass, he can do it whenever and wherever he wants.
Revelations implies that God is not omnipotent, lose half of the
gentiles? Why?
Look, I've studied the Bible too (though not in the original Hebrew,
good on yer, lad!) and the truth of the matter is that the John who
wrote the book of Revelations was a flipped out aestetic. Dude was
trippin', just like Coleridge when he wrote Xanadu. He starved himself
into a state of delerium and Revelations is what he came up with. It
could have just as easily been titled 'Head Bump' and would have been
just as accurate.
You want a REAL revelation? Read the Gospel of Thomas or the Gospel of
Mary Magdalene, they will set your understanding of the nature of
Christ and God on it's ear.
Why were those two books banned from the Bible and not Revelations?
Thomas and Mary Magdalene were Jesus' favorites, not Peter.
Revelations was written 200 years after Christ. Which would you think
might be more relevant to the teachings of Christ? It was included to
serve the purpose of the early Catholic Church, they need to scare the
congregation into obediance and obeisance. The Book of Revelations is
the meanderings of a madman. True! It has more in common with Norse
Mythology and Hindu Mythology than Christian teachings. You know I'm
right about this, you've been studying hard.
Don't feel as if you have to play out some game the Church started to
control the masses. It's crap. You are needed today, in our society,
by boylovers and boys who need more than spiritual guidance, they need
your love, understanding and example.
I don't want you to kill yourself, I'm glad someone is watching over
you. I love you and I care about you and that's genuine as I can be.
So take my hand and help me make a difference, not an ending.
Love,
Doc
