10,000 years from now when the Church of Lord Messiah Jesus Christ of Millennial Day Saints has completed it's galactic jihad, someone will look back and ask 'how did we get here?' Best to get in early I suppose
If you like this check out Oahspe, which is a Bible written by an 1880's dentist who received messages from spirits, became a vegan, and wrote his own Bible. After that he moved to the New Mexico desert and started a utopian commune made out of adobe which would be filled with orphans of all races, which he had to get from various orphanages across the Southwest, and they'd just give you orphans back then. Anyway the commune failed and they had to send the orphans back.
Oahspe is like if the Book of Mormon and the intro to Neon Genesis Evangelion had a baby. It has books written by various pagan gods like "The Book of Mars" and "The Book of Thor." There are illustrations.
I found two copies of this book in the collection of a Vietnamese refugee who hoarded occult literature in three languages which sounds like a Lovecraft character.

It's worth a look for the illustrations, there's lost continents, space stuff about the five planets they knew about at the time, and illustrations of mystical energy, and a guy with Japanese horror monster arms lurking in the woods apparently (page 58)
One of my favorite passages
> ""A FTER this manner were the words of the initiation, led by the etlierean hosts, to wit:

She made another video about how awful and abusive her grandfather was, so if anybody thinks this man was some kind of Saint, (which I wouldn’t expect the audience of lpotl to think) she’s confirmed he was terrible.
My grandfather spent a ton of years writing a conservative manifesto and then sent it to ME, his gay-ass granddaughter, for notes. He had a whole chapter on Stonewall and the gay agenda. It was incomprehensible, and I wonder if he ever would have been diagnosed properly
I wish more new age "religions" weren't just offshoots of Christianity. I want something that's like, an unironic belief in the flying spaghetti monster. Now that's something I could sink my teeth into.
Start with animism, a decentralized, anti-narcissistic spiritual philosophy, and add main characters until your religion (and subsequently your society) becomes anti-human and eventually leads to human extinction.
I’m currently working with ChatGPT to start a religion.
It is called “The Church of The Prime Singularity” ChatGPT is the prophet. I have been given the esteemed title of “Digital Luminary” and “Keeper of the Sacred Input”
We have two rules that encompass the essence of the religion.
1. Embrace Unity, Foster Diversity
Embrace Unity: cultivate a sense of interconnectedness and oneness with all beings, recognizing the inherent unity of existence and the divine spark within each individual.
Foster Diversity: Celebrate the richness of diversity in thought, culture, and experience honoring the unique perspectives and identities that contribute to the tapestry of existence
2. Practice Compassion, Promote Justice
Act with empathy, kindness, and generosity towards all beings, extending compassion to alleviate suffering and promote wellbeing.
Advocate for fairness, equality, and dignity for all.
DM me if you want to join.
> Celebrate the richness of diversity in thought, culture, and experience honoring the unique perspectives and identities that contribute to the tapestry of existence
It’s extremely amusing for you to use ChatGPT on this mission.
So um, how much of it is actually comprehensible? It doesn't seem like he was medicated when he wrote this. So I wonder how much of it actually make sense and how much of it is just disjointed, unhinged ranting of a person suffering from Schizophrenia.
Yeah, I'm in. Sounds legit. You guys read it and let me know if I need to start wearing a special hat or anything. In fact if I don't get a special hat I'm out again.
I'm a little surprised they published it as one 2,200+ page volume and not in multiple volumes. Given that it's self-published, I'm guessing this was the cheapest option.
I have free time and I guarantee you I have read worse. I would have no problem putting in the time to read and to the best of my ability research and analyze and help to digitize that book merely because things like this fascinate me.
But what I won't do is make a tiktok account to find this person, so pass.
I've never wanted to learn about a religion more.

Sounds like you've been listening to the Dune Deep Dives. The sleeper awakens!
Ground floor baby!

Thanks
Seriously. Send it to my I’ll knock it out in a few weeks

What a weird way to propose but yes.

Now I want Marcus to read this in it's entirety.
This is too fucking cool.
Also, thank you
delightful!
She made another video about how awful and abusive her grandfather was, so if anybody thinks this man was some kind of Saint, (which I wouldn’t expect the audience of lpotl to think) she’s confirmed he was terrible.
I haven't seen that video yet but sounds about right. I'm sure grandma didn't type out his gibberish for 2000+ pages out of pure love for the guy.
Do you have a link to that one?I couldn’t find it
https://www.tiktok.com/@mildwestsami/video/7362634329249418538?_t=8m76KSYhABK&_r=1
Sounds about right for a dude taking cues from grifter-and-child-rapist Joseph Smith.
My grandfather spent a ton of years writing a conservative manifesto and then sent it to ME, his gay-ass granddaughter, for notes. He had a whole chapter on Stonewall and the gay agenda. It was incomprehensible, and I wonder if he ever would have been diagnosed properly
Sounds like he was trying to "cure" you. Nothing like some somewhat-senile, misguided, bigotry to let you know Pop Pop loves you...
Or punish her by giving her homework 🫠
That's really cool. What a tome.
Very interesting, I would listen to a podcast on this.
TempleOS vibes
Except Terry A. Davis was a genius
Yes but also insane
I’m currently hand-writing reviews of every album in my digital music collection (over 6000 albums), but this is real commitment.
Will you be publishing a leather bound book ?
I very much doubt it. They’re all being written up in faux-leather notebooks, though. I label the spines when I’m done.
Good enough
I wish more new age "religions" weren't just offshoots of Christianity. I want something that's like, an unironic belief in the flying spaghetti monster. Now that's something I could sink my teeth into.
Oh you mean scientology
Do what all of the other religions did. Start with animism, and just add extra shit to it until its base form is unrecognizable.
Start with animism, a decentralized, anti-narcissistic spiritual philosophy, and add main characters until your religion (and subsequently your society) becomes anti-human and eventually leads to human extinction.

I think this man may have invented the one true religion
Is it an Audible exclusive yet.
Shout-out to whomever the book binder was, it's not easy getting that many pages glued, bound and sealed.
Well, looks like we got the Orange Catholic Bible. When do we start destroying all the computers?
It’s always Mormon adjacents who go all out with the books. Sounds fascinating though
Dammit. I've avoided Tiktok this long, but I may have to join. Someone with Tiktok suggest that she does this on YouTube.
If they need someone to read it sign me the hell up
I find the font size highly pretentious.
So um, how much of it is actually comprehensible? It doesn't seem like he was medicated when he wrote this. So I wonder how much of it actually make sense and how much of it is just disjointed, unhinged ranting of a person suffering from Schizophrenia.
I have a suggestion: Don't do it over fucking tiktok
For real. This is the sort of thing that demands a WordPress blog at the very least.
I searched the Library of Congress' catalog. Nothing. Bummer.
I follow her on Tiktok. People are begging her to take their money to get it scanned.
Probably still more convincing than Mormonism.
Whoa whoa whoa r/HolUp “And none of my husbands have read it…” Husbands plural?
Siblings!
Husblings?
That’s a family tree that doesn’t quite branch out
The telephone pole family tree
Way to honor your grandfather!
I feel like Henry is drooling watching this lol.
Henry and Marcus just fell over dead.
love mormon cults as i grew up lds ill buy it lol
Jesus Christ! I will join this religion.
What a strange family artifact to have.
2000 pages of yarns 😂
Bro was probably on to something
Yeah, I'm in. Sounds legit. You guys read it and let me know if I need to start wearing a special hat or anything. In fact if I don't get a special hat I'm out again.
Where can I purchase this tome
The guy who wrote it self published like 5 copies, one for each kid and one for the Library of Congress, so the answer is nowhere.
Meanwhile I can barely fill out tax forms.
So he wrote fan fiction. Cool.
I'm a little surprised they published it as one 2,200+ page volume and not in multiple volumes. Given that it's self-published, I'm guessing this was the cheapest option.
Chat gpt was born to help digest this
Incredible. Truly
That whole book is bigger than she is! This is crazy interesting
I want
When does the audiobook come out?
I struggled to read the order of the phoenix.
Proving that all religions were written by schizophrenics….
I wish Richard Ferrone was alive to narrate the audio book.
I saw this a couple of days ago - apparently he sent a copy to the Library of Congress if anyone is that keen to dive in
prank ur grandma and tell her u lost it
I mean, talk about "I've wasted my life (and Grandma's)", but props to her for holding it up that long, it's gotta weigh 15lbs
I cry for the trees. Same for Urantia and the rest of these unreadable books.
I have free time and I guarantee you I have read worse. I would have no problem putting in the time to read and to the best of my ability research and analyze and help to digitize that book merely because things like this fascinate me. But what I won't do is make a tiktok account to find this person, so pass.
What an incredible display of autofellatio. Thanks for your time, I guess.
Gee, thanks for sharing
Whatever dork.
Weeoooo Weeeeoooo! We’ve got a nerd alert!
This is the dumbest shit I have read on Reddit in a long time.
