The Jesus of Siberia



Just about everything Vissarion has ever said or thought has been recorded in the never-ending Last Testament, which currently spans ten volumes and thousands of pages. More than 5,000 followers around the world consider him a messiah of sorts, known as “the Teacher.” They also believe that the universe has two origins (one spawned nature, the other the human soul) and in something called the “outer-space mind” (aliens, basically), and that the end of the word is nigh. Or at least this is what I understand from the handful of scriptures that have been (somewhat poorly) translated into English.

Like Ford Prefect's description of Earth in the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy.

The misogynism was very jarring though, especially hearing it come from the women.

We'll see what becomes of these latter day Latter Day Saints.
