I'm writing something about a guy who is psychologically tortured, but whose origination cannot be identified because he has a somatic ailment (something growing in his balls) but also that societal maladies are ever present due to his reading of classical literature - - being able to diagnosis such disorder as if it were another limb. Maybe that when it gets published anon.

Which was mysteriously not mentioned in the Old Testament. Which was magically incorporated when the idea came over from Asia. It's all so tedious. How could anyone believe this shit?

It's like they've got reins attached to you; when they want you to feel hope and "grace" (see: emotional suggestibility and self-induced hysteria), they invoke Jesus Christ. When they want you to feel fear, repentance, and doubt, they pull on the other rein- Hell. Ideally, you would choose one, but it is always too advantageous to use both, whenever necessary. This way you can manipulate anyone easily, and it is they who police themselves

When they want you to feel sad, they invoke death of loved ones (like the death of Lazarus).

You believe that Hell is continued revelation from the OT, but what is the mechanism of this revelation? How do you know what the source is? How do you know you are correctly receiving and/or interpreting the information?
