What are these pages, Caitlin? What do they mean? Well kids, it means I can't be bothered to write a whole gospel so I'm using FILLER. But not just any filler, the oldest and most revered 15th cetury filler. Lorem Ipsum! The scrambled text of a speech by Cicero (who wants to read his crap anyway!) lorem ipsum is a filler text that was set by a printer in the 16th century and has survived through the years and made it's way into the world of electronic typsetting. You can even find generators for this stuff (the link above).
So, what's this 'gospel' about then? If I told you I would have to kill you. I'm just kidding. It's an extension of the many narratives and characters I've found myself creating over the years in idle moments. The Gospel is a parody of a holy book and is written by the character Teirisias R. Barnabas, a prophet who dreams of disasters before they happen and left his home one day after waking up from a dream where he saw his house burn down. His character is entwined with the Haris/Eblis character I've had for *thinks* almost five years. He's the guy in the glass piece below (Tei is, not Haris).
Since we're on the subject of amusing religous parodies I want you to all head over to this little site and start reading from the begining. This is some funny shit and completely responsible for me wasting a couple hours today. When I become Pope (next time, next time!) I'll have these two canonized as saints and then we'll party hardcore up in the Vatican, yo. That's a link to the Vatican website, my favorite part is the big button on the mainpage that says VATICAN SECRET ARCHIVES. I hope that doesn't need any further explination. Sometimes I wonder if they make it too easy for me on purpose, now that would be really clever.
