If you believe me that a little voice in my head made me do this and you think maybe it would be cool to try. I encourage it. I really do.I think it is extremely difficult. It is easy to talk about giving up stuff, but can you give up everything? You have to understand, I had it easy. I didn't worry about what was going to happen to me. The voice promised me someone would pick me off the streets and give me a home. I lived for years following the directions of this voice. It never hurt me. It was strange. It told me to post memes that seemed irrelevant to anything. I ate certain foods. God told me to eat tortillas and peanut butter only for like two weeks so I could get feel like an African for a white eating the same shit all time. Is that meaningful? I don't know America. I am just telling you what happened and that I think you should give away as much of your shit as you can if you ever find yourself in a position to do so. You need faith and faith alone and God will provide for you. People understand that wrong. Faith alone is faith alone. Personally, I became a beggar. I never felt quite right. There is this dumb thing we got going on in America. Everyone defines American spirituality by other cultural definitions. It isn't just American Spirituality. It is native american, or yoga, or the buddha, or a guru, or shaman. American citizens chase the mimic. They believe there is no authentic American people that see visions and stuff?
really wanted to cast hell and damnation on on the christians of suburbia. I shifted to wanting to challenge their faith by telling them to live on faith and faith alone.
It is an accurate, rarely expressed point of view in this country on Christianity. I think I am right basically.
Christianity is kinda new to me, so i am fiddle fucking with some ideas. not trying to literally preach or something.
Either way, She teaches religion.
So. I asked her if she thought hoarding wealth was a sin.
It becomes a question of how much money should one keep for a "safety net" and be free of sin. Can you have a million dollars in the bank and still go to heaven?
She was under the impression that people who gave more than 10% to the church were guaranteed entrance.
The problem is they are all living a lie in suburbia.
I think someone who does Jesus stuff should tell them about the sin in a nice way they would be receptive to.
You can't have millions and millions of dollars in the bank. I don't believe that. There are problems all over the place. Hunger, water, shelter. I don't think Jesus would teach them to hoard there money during these times.
I told her I thought it was a personal choice. I don't care if people go to heaven, that isn't my business. I don't think I can answer that question. I have unfair perspective and I don't know what it is like to have millions and millions that you give up for your proclaimed faith.
I believe people should give away as many possessions as they can possibly manage.I think possessions are known as attachments in some culture. The little voice in my head told me to give away my stuff piece by piece until I found myself homeless. This is called giving up all your worldly possessions. The voice in my head told me it was God. So I gave away the items God told me to and God told me what to do with the items. Sometimes I would leave it somewhere, or give it to someone, or throw it away. It was everything.
I will tell you.

yes. yes. the psychotics have visions and they are spiritual to SOMEcoughdemonscough of us.
I do have news for you though. I don't know what all this other spiritual leader guide official guru teacher shaman shit is.
i am an all-american psychenaut
I have strange visions of a better world and hear voices in my head.
i enjoy it and learn little bits about myself being psychotic. Oh yea. The american vision people have great news for you. The greatest news ever. We are all Christians. We don't have anything to tell you about religion or spirituality other than go read the fucking book and reflect on it or whatever you do. You idiots like it when people dress up like spiritual teachers from other cultures and charge you money. lots of it.
There are real americans with visions, but they are not telling the people about their visions. I don't know anything about it.
I found this book in a bookstore once and thought it was odd. It was like all this shit about how to a corporate mystic. I guess these CEO are into visions and shit I dunno. It was like authored by all these big corps like monsanto. It was talking really positive about Monsanto cause their mission statement is they are gonna feed the world. I guess that didn't work out well.
I have a theory that whatever they corporate mystic techno guru assholes are doing with their secret visions is screwing things up.
all the fake ass people that don't give up all their shit and talk about being light and vibration and loose attachment and shit,.
like you cant loose your cellphone privliges for a week and think you are free of attachment lol
I don't care what you tell me
I do not agree with you
If you think you should strip down to nothing and stay that way until your god or faith whatever tells you to go put on some clothes and find something to eat. You fucking do it. You are going to suffer. You are going to not want to get rid of it. Seriously. Go burn your your birth certificate, your ID, give away your house, your car, everything you own. Take the clothes on your back and a couple granola bars in your pocket. You don't even need to granola bars,
I promise. Alot of people want to keep things at other houses like that makes it better. I had stuff at my parents house in storage that was weighing me down. I didn't realize i was attached to it.
It was all my school work from my childhood. My stories and drawings and all the stuff my mother had collected when i was growing up. I had never even thought about it until I went to clean the space out. I went through everything and I was like…. okay. This stuff is cool, I really don't want to throw away my childhood. Whatever, I got rid of half of it and eventually all of it. God took it easy on me, I didn't give it all up at once and just do it. I was eased into. I do though, I recommend you just go for it if you are gonna do it. Do not piddle paddle around with how much is too much to live on faith alone. The answer is simple you are having a dumb debate with yourself over money when it is clear you only need faith. It was hard to give away my family heirlooms. Stuff from generations ago that I didn't want to put on a sidewalk for someone to pick up. I didn't have a lot of money or things to start with. You could say I started with 2k dollars. I lost it slowly over about 6 years. I was always having less and less stuff after the initial big cleanse. Honestly, it is difficult to get rid of it all. I left a dinosaur fossil I found as a child in an ex-girlfriends car. A spoon collection of my great grandma's from world travels. I still have my grandfathers walking stick a enemy officer gave him in vietnam. I believe that is it and I gotta say. God must have let me keep a couple things. I think sometimes people think it is about getting rid of the "most" stuff and cling to the little stuff that they don't realize weighs them down so much. If it wasn't weighing them down and they didn't need it. Why can't they throw it away. I will not put up with shit from this countries bullshit thelogians. Go and give up your shit right now. I know you won't you are gonna give up a little or a lot and tell me it is good and your done. But you are not. You did a half-ass job of trusting faith alone. I will tell you America. This is not some hell and damnation, this is the honest to God truth. If you have faith that God will provide for you, prove it mother fuckers. I didn't know how long I would beg for, I guess I didn't care. I wasn't doing it based on faith. Like I said, I had it easy. I am not telling you the best way to do it if you want to do it right. I don't want you to have an out. You can say I am being extreme. I am not going to give you some false idea that you need money. You do not need money, you need faith. You do not need a dollar. I don't care what you tell me. You can tell me one hundred different ways. I will give you the same answer. Faith and faith alone. God doesn't keep a few bucks back in case of an emergency like a practical Christian. There is no such thing as practical faith or rational faith. It is not the same to make a faith-based decision as it is to live on faith alone. Do not be lied to. Do not take lies on the question. The answer is clear and you cannot argue rational and logic come before scripture. I really don't care if you want to be a Christian-light. You need to know that is what you are doing. I don't care how many bible studies you goto or charity events you attend. The message is clear, over and over. God will care for you, do you trust the Lord with your life?
You are fucking moron.
Are you not a Christian?
It is not a personality disorder fishing for sympathy.
To tell you that it is a Christian teaching to live on faith and faith alone. Give up all your worldly possession. Do you trust the Lord with your life?
