So I finished “Reading Judas†and it was *awesome*.
Such an interesting look at how Christianity came to be.
We are usually lead to believe that there is this single definition of what it means to be “Christian†but the fact is, there is no such thing. Just like there are different views and denominations now, there were different views and denominations then. Even all the Disciples couldn't agree on who Jesus was, and what he meant; so how can we expect to all agree now?
Like I said, just fascinating.
I have a few I want to read, but I THINK next up is the Lost Gospel; but maybe it's “the Hidden Wisdom in the Holy Bibleâ€; hmmm...decisions, decisions!
It's been really interesting re-examing what it is that I believe; especially since I've been exposed to SO MANY different things over the years that I hold to be “trueâ€, but are sometimes directly contradictory.
I have discovered what it is that I am supposed to do in this world, and in reality I knew all along that it was the thing I am best at:
take in tons of information, process it, and put it back out in a way that people can understand.
So that's what I do, and what I am going to keep doing; I guess that's why they call me Waltepedia (thanks Shilpa, lol)
And remember:
Never give up, never give up, never ever ever give up.
