Philippians is yet another of the letters from the ex Christian killer turned Christian authority somehow Paul. Also his buddy Timothy helped him with this one.
It starts out with Paul thanking the Philippian church for existing and then he jumps right in to bragging about how often he gets arrested.
He says, “I’ve been arrested a shitload of times for preaching. But I don’t care. It’s actually worked out great, because people seeing me out there doing my thing become less afraid of their own shitty situation. It makes them less afraid to say their pieces. So just know, that if you’re going to follow this religion, you’re going to be fucked with all the time.”
Then he says, “If you’re going to be a Christian. Don’t be a douche bag. Try to be like Jesus. Jesus was chill, Jesus was humble. He was even chill all the way to his own execution! That’s pretty chill.”
He advices them to, “Not be whiny and shit. Only be happy and do everything you do with a good attitude. That’s how people will know that our religion is the best one.”
He promises to send Timothy down there at some point to help them get their church going and strong. He mentions that the last guy he tried to send down got sick and almost died. Just in case they were about to fuck with him on that issue.
He really pushes everyone not to make themselves happy by the fun cool things in the world, but to focus on growing spiritually and hopefully we can all resurrect from the dead.
He says it’s important that everyone has a common goal of this, too. Because that way everyone’s working together to achieve the same thing.
He ends by saying thanks for all the gifts, but they really didn’t have to. He said he’s doing just fine. So they don’t need to worry about money.
And that’s the book. Short and boring as hell.
