Okay, so I was raised in a Christian family that probably never even read the entire Bible, but I think I get the point. Don’t make fun of people and be a good person. Learning these virtues I took the time to actually read the Bible and I learned something amazing.
Dear Journal,
We live in 2025 and I’ve been tested a thousand times, everyone around me is either dying, on drugs, or breaking the law. I learn something new every time I read the Bible, but I’ve learned that none of us think the same. The academic community holds the knowledge, the poor hold the majority, and the rich hold the money, so I’m pretty certain that when we die we have to go back to the source because on a planet with over a billion lives it gets crazy. As a matter of fact it is crazy.
Dear Journal again,
There’s a war still going on in the holy land. Innocent people are being killed; innocent people who just want to live a normal life on earth. I’m sure we all were born for a reason, but so far nothing magical has happened but death, so I’m pretty certain that when we die we have to go back to the source.
“So where do we come from?” you asked as a child. Well, in the distance I see a man reading a physics book and a preacher giving a sermon. Two professions showing the way.
In deep thought I take a break and notice a homeless man following someone to their car begging them for cash. I over hear the man say, “Get a job!” and then slams the door in the homeless man’s face. Now I know for sure that the homeless guy lost everything because he was burned out. I used to go to school with him and personally I thought of him to be a good person who just maybe lost his way. So I figured I would go over to him and see what was on his mind when I couldn’t help but notice that he was sleeping on a Bible. Shortly after our conversation I became delusional. Everywhere I went I heard about Jesus and even if I knew about him I still didn’t know enough. As a child, I heard about Jesus and an adult everyone was still talking about Jesus and no matter what I said or how I felt it didn’t matter because Jesus was the answer. On every street corner there was a church with a huge cross on it and just about everybody was talking about Jesus. I saw people do crazy things over and over again and there they were begging Jesus to forgive them. I saw people getting tortured, persecuted, and even killed in the name of Jesus. This brand of thinking even made me believe that I was Jesus at one time then sadly a physician who had a masters degree in psychology gave me two pills. He said, “If you take this pill you will wake up, but once you take it, you can’t go back to the way things used to be, so I’m going to give you a choice. Do you want to take the pill?” Thinking about the actual woman who came up with the idea of the Matrix I found myself in the same situation. I had a choice so I took the pill. Once I took it, I woke up the next morning to a different world, but what I learned personally about myself was that the perception of hell while standing on top of a pyramid in a hot desert is different when you have a number of options to keep cool, but when you have no options, Jesus becomes the greatest story ever told. It’s a good story, a best seller. After taking the pill and reading the story over and over again, my mind became bigger, but the recipe for bread and water remained the same and for some reason everyone had heard about Jesus. There were so many different denominations for all different kinds of people. I’ll say it again, “for some reason everyone had heard of Jesus!”The savior who preached about the heavens and his Heavenly Father. The rock of Jerusalem born of a virgin mother. The sinless son of the living God who took the torment so that we all could make it to heaven. After walking a thousand miles and seeing the same situations over and over again while reading the same book even into my forties, I have to say that something did happen, something had to happen thousands of years ago for all of these people to be hoping for this same magical place that Jesus preached about and died for. They must have thought that he was crazy too, just like me, I guess, until the clock struck twelve and the doctor gave them the option also to choose their own path in life and to choose their own destiny.
To end this piece, I saw a Christian man tell me his view of the world. I spoke with him over and over again and soon learned that it didn’t matter whether I were a brother in Christ or not, my view of the world didn’t matter even if I were right or wrong. So in the end I ran a thousand miles and became born again a thousand times in a lost world waiting for Jesus to come save us. On top of a pyramid in a hot desert I collapsed while holding a piece of King Tut’s nose in one hand and a Bible in the other dying thirsty only to find peace on the other side. It took death for me to finally receive the answer, I’d finally been born again.
