at least in the abrahamic religions, they are all the same stories told from different perspectives. i've always looked at the holy books and religions as an art form. issues come up when they become political institutions and are taken literal. its like naw just read the stories and apply it to your material reality. most of these churches in the hood are just sucking up money from families.

Nothing shakes a MF like the thought of loneliness after death.
“Yo, is this out? Is this really the end. Nah, there’s got to be a god and a reason for living”
