I think I am going to start my own religion.
What would Bawb call it?
I think I am going to start my own religion. You are welcome to join. No pressure. I promise I will not burn you at the stake should you prefer not to join. You don't need to send me money. I'm not saying you can't, just saying you don't need to if you're poor.
I am not a religious man, in fact I disagree with all religions. They all have poisoned the mind of man. But yet, I find the words of Jesus most intriguing.
​
What most Christians don't realize is that there were twelve apostles all having Gospels named after them. Where are the other eight gospels?
I added teachings found in the Gospel of Thomas, to my book.
​
I call my book:
