The Gospel of John has to be the greatest literature ever written, right? It’s obviously composed in a literary manner and not a biographical one. It’s legitimately brilliant and suffused with such rich symbolism. It’s a masterwork. Verses that don’t make any sense upon cursory examination bloom when you discover the context or reference it’s making to something from the Old Testament.

I’m totally fascinated by it and have reread it like literally 4 times in the past two months. it’s like reading Beethoven’s 3rd in prose.

Anyone have that infographic for really fucked up nihilistic books?
