The story of Tobit is a pretty twisted story about a gravedigger. The king doesn’t want him to be a gravedigger, so he digs only at night. Well one day a bird flew bye and took a crap and somehow landed in his eye. He became blinded from the bird shit. Soon he got depressed and wished that he would die. At the same time, another woman wished that she would die too. Her name was Sarah. She wanted to die because she married seven time. Every marriage that she had was unsuccessful because her husband would die on the wedding night. She is still a virgin and horny is ever, waiting for someone to pop that cherry. God hears both of their wishes and sends an angel to save them. The angel heals Tobit of his blindness and tells Sarah that she will have a successful marriage so she had the will to live on. Later on Tobia, Tobit’s son, falls in love with Sarah and marries her and their marriage was successful. God wants all of us to help one another, so in a way we are all of God’s angels. We should help the poor if we can and help them to have a better attitude so that their will to live on will be strong. In the story of the First Maccabees, it is about the history of the Jews. The story starts around the death of Alexander The Great and the origin of the Seleucid empire in 323 BCE. The Seleucid king was Antiochus the IV. Nobody liked him because he was considered evil and disobeyed God. He also violated the Jerusalem Temple. Everyone feared him rather than respected him. There were some strong enough to go against him. This relates to my topic in that it is a hard life out there. Even though times have changed, it still doesn’t mean nothing when people don’t change. You just got to be strong and go with what you believe in. Poverty is a bitch, it’s more hard if someone messes with you. The Kingdom of God is where everyone wishes to go to when they die. The Kingdom of God is also called Heaven or the Kingdom of Heaven. The Kingdom of God is where you will have eternal life and have whatever you ever wished for and never got when you was alive on Earth. The Kingdom of God is God’s own crib. His law is the damn law. Heaven is only a place for people who are good hearted and has done good deeds. God sends the bad people to the Kingdom of Hell which is the opposite of the Kingdom of Heaven. It is also known as the Kingdom of Satan. Hell is everything you never wished for. Everyone have different interpretations of Hell. Mostly people think Hell is a place of fire. Some think it is a place such as another frozen ice age. Someone told me they think Hell can be a place of how you lived your life and getting it all the time. For example, if you were a gambler and died and gone to hell, you would gamble for all eternity and win all the time. If you were a blackjack person, you would constantly hit blackjack. If you were a craps person, you will forever hit seven. It may seem fun at first, but then you would notice that it’s the same thing over and over again. I guess you can say that there is a Kingdom of God that is visible to us on Xavier University of Louisiana. It was founded by someone of the church and the school was done out of good deeds to help the people. The kingdom of God relates to my project because it’s all about the mind. You cannot let your mind be weak and succumb to everything that come at you. If you have a weak mind, then you will just be nothing in life. It’s just like Tupac said “just keep ya head up.” You just got to look at the better things in life. The simpler things in life are pretty much always the best part of life. Also about the thing about Heaven and Hell, is there a Heaven for a G. to some, people see the world as a game. You got to do whatever it takes to survive in the world because you won’t get help from nobody. Is it wrong to sell dope? Sometimes people have to sell it to live for another day. About the article, “How Little We Know About Jesus,” I am surprised because I don’t know anything about Jesus. I am Catholic and all but I’m not really in touch with religion. When I was little, I went to a church school and all but me and brother had problems with the nuns that were in charge. The nun had the balls to call me and my brother the devil’s son, so he had dropped out and I had to stay behind. I’m not going to lie, after that shit I was bad than a motherfucker. I broke the doors, broke the windows, cursed out my teachers, and cursed out the nuns. I don’t like to get disrespected in any way, that how I feel. Me and my family are people who don’t take shit from nobody and stand up for what we believe in. Jesus was counter-cultural because a lot of different ethnicities worship him but do not know what type of color skin he is. I am counter-cultural. I just chill with whoever is out there. I don’t have a problem with anybody.
