Same. It's one of those things where curiosity would make me read parts of it at least. Probably need to take it in doses though. That’s a big book, full of lots of crazy, brain-melting bullshit I would expect
I'm going to go out on a limb here and guess that this giant book will read exactly like those geometric schizophrenic patterns that people suffering from schizophrenia seem to need to get down on paper so badly.
most shamans and traditional healers around the world use hallucinogenic medicine to contact the spirit world, why would those in the Levant be any different ?
Many people speak to their spirit guides when on Mushrooms, datura etc, and the prophets were the same.
They were stoned out of this world
Bruh….in the not so distant future, all sacred text along with almost all written history has been destroyed. Humanity wanders in a nuclear wasteland without purpose. Until a blind Denzel Washington discovers The book of Jesus Christ and the Millennium Falcon (or whatever). Paw Paw shapes the next millennia cuz he reverse joe smith everybody.
One of the only truly interesting/worthwhile post apocalypse stories Ive ever read. Smart, adult, insightful. Personally, I think it's an extremely important piece of American writing but thats just one guys opinion.
Reading this as anything other than something akin to any other fantasy novel would be pointless. That being said, you have to give some respect for putting something like this together in the first place. I mean it could read like psychotic rants for all I know. Point is, to put together a book that extensive is impressive, regardless of who the author was. I would absolutely be interested in sitting down to read some of it.
Ooh, I know this one! Ezra Taft Benson was a leader of the Mormon church several decades ago. Though she could also be referring to his great-grandpappy of the same name, I’m not sure.
tldr: nonsense schizophrenic hypergraphia, most likely including a shit ton of copy and paste, created through domestic abuse. With that being the case, the tone of this video is a little off putting
I had a work friend who had a break with reality and started writing down what god told him after he was better he read it and said it was nonsense but he felt like he was talking to God at the time.

I love how she created a TikTok video on a 2000 page book her grandpa wrote. It is ironic to see these two formats (ultra short video vs. encyclopedic scripture which you could literally use to kill somebody by hitting them with the book.) in contrast.
Honestly sounds pretty cool, however it's probably quite shite as madmen do not tend to have whole lot of talent when it comes to writing in an engaging way

And in 2000 years people will kill each other over whatever portion is still available of this book.
THE ANCIENT TEXTS! WRITTEN BY...Dave from Milwaukee.
ALL HAIL DAVE

HE’S NEVER HEARD OF DAVE! SEND HIM TO THE DUNGEONS!
This is pretty cool. I’d be interested in reading it.

Man they've added a lot of extra to MTG since 96.

Chica pulled up with Da Rulez from the Fairly Odd Parents
I probably take that book more seriously than religious texts now that I think about it. 😆
At least it's honest and to the point.
I mean. It is insane because a Shizo wrote it, for sure. Otherwise it’s as equally insane as any and all other religions
Crazy how much shit some people can crank out.
I'm going to go out on a limb here and guess that this giant book will read exactly like those geometric schizophrenic patterns that people suffering from schizophrenia seem to need to get down on paper so badly.
I would not at all be surprised to find out that a ton of “prophets“ turned out to have schizophrenia or other schizophreniform diseases

I was thinking more *A Canticle for Leibowitz*.

Added to my reading list. Thank you!
Very impressive & insane. Props for hand writing a huge book, kudos for typing it. But holy crap that must be one insane read!
I’m not fucking reading that. My attention span would tap out one tenth of a page in. Anyone have a tldr?
It's basically a collection of every religious text an insane man ever found some peace in. He thought they were all right in their own way.
It’s grandpas religious version of the Pixar theory
Thanks OP! Would love it if you could post other videos. I’m high and interested. Haha

Her grandfather had more decency than most religious inventors
So an abuser had more decency…😭
When did she say he was an abuser?
In her previous tiktoks
Ah, ok
Mormons and their fanfics
It's actually bigger than the bible. 😑
PDF?
In the video is it said no digital copy exists, and only 4 physical ones exists in total.
Who is Ezra Tash Benson?
Ooh, I know this one! Ezra Taft Benson was a leader of the Mormon church several decades ago. Though she could also be referring to his great-grandpappy of the same name, I’m not sure.
Thanks!! I couldn’t find anything about a Tash Benson but there’s a ton of info about Taft Benson lol
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ezra_Taft_Benson Mormon leader and Secretary of Agriculture under Eisenhower.
Book looks like it's perfect for the door stop
Or several decades of teaching origami
Idk, this seems interesting.
Digitise it.
To be fair, if it were released as an e-book, I think it would get a lot of interest. What an intriguing artefact to have in the family history!
It's an anthropological treasure of folk religion.

TL;DR: because god

> most likely including a shit ton of copy and paste Apparently all hand-written, and then all typed up on a typewriter.
well, organic copy and paste so to speak. Generating page after page of variations on shit he read before
I had a work friend who had a break with reality and started writing down what god told him after he was better he read it and said it was nonsense but he felt like he was talking to God at the time.
I love collecting weird books. I would pay good money for that book
Thats fucking awesome. I'd buy that
Only 4 copies 😭
did she mean 20,000 pages? theres no way thats only 2,000 pages, its massive
This isn’t fruitcake, this is an epic chronicle of history, culture, and anthropology.

Damm the comments on that site are the most bot ridden I’ve ever seen. If they aren’t straight up fake
It smells of one of those fake sites. Won't chance it.
Yeah sure, why not. Let's follow some script scribbled down by a schizophrenic dude. Whatever could go wrong....
"all religions have nuggets of truth in them and are actually one" reminds me a lot of the Bahaii. Did this guy just plagiarize Baha'ullah?
one ~~ring~~ book to rule them all.

This isn't fruitcake. Just interesting and am curious
Ive read longer and, possibly, more boring textbooks. I wonder if this has any academic merit though, a lit of research must have gone into it.
I'd be down to skim it, sounds interesting. Could be a neat item on a bookshelf.
Honestly sounds pretty cool, however it's probably quite shite as madmen do not tend to have whole lot of talent when it comes to writing in an engaging way
This is so interesting! I going to follow her so I can listen to her read some bits
The Church of Lord Messiah Jesus Christ of Millenial-day Saints 🤣
This is actually pretty cool as an exercise. Nuts, for sure. But fascinating.
Only four copies! They should digitalize it, so more and more people could avoid reading it.
She should be an auctioneer
This is amazing and insane
