I have also The Bible of Hell which the world shall have whether they will or no.
Now I've been looking on Amazon and I'm disappointed to say that I can't find it.
Any ideas?

I'm surprised God didn't take the opportunity to mention the new book which he has just written...

Well after all of the wrangling over the multiple ghost-writers employed for the last few, he's probably leaving it to his publisher.

The Book of Urizen was intended to be the "first book" of the Bible of Hell. I'm not sure if later works were supposed to correspond with subsequent books, though... the parallels are less clear, at least to me.

..... Right, Lets sort this out once and for all. Religion is a mere detail and an invention of fools. God is the Alpha and the Omega and the devil is in the detail. Religion has certainly caused a 'lot of trouble' . I blame Caxton, Marconi and Logie Baird (among others) for brainwashing the gullible punters with some extremely dodgy fundamentalist ideas. Its all a load of very dangerous controversial propaganda .....

The above is an extract from MT Wessel's controversial new book 'The Buddha Is A Fat Barsteward' (ISBN 666). Published by Wessel Press and available in hardback, paperback and, of course, straightjacket (signed first edition only). Now available at an assylum near you already.

Am I right in thinking that the Buddha wouldn't mind being called fat at all, and in fact would take it as a compliment?
Did he/does he have views on illegitimacy?

I can't think why I should have picked on the extremely innocent Buddha. I apologise herewith to all God fearing men and beg there (Sorry Syd, er, their (that which is theirs)) forgiveness in these troubled times. It was 2:23 am. I was in the usual drunken stupor and it was supposed to be another feeble jest which even I cannot recall ...  Sad

Surely, if Buddha was anything by the end of his incarnation, innocent wasn't it. Unless I missed something (highly likely), his total innocence was what led him in search of enlightenment to begin with.

Well possibly the realization that he was a bit ignorant of things.  I think there was realization involved somewhere... .

I can't get over the detail of "Once Jennie had everything ... two different bottle of pills, eyedrops, eardrops, a thermometer ..."

A heart-breaking tale of pharmaceutical dependency.  Cry

Oh my; I think I rather want to read that book.  It sounds (and is, from that page you've shown us) terribly affecting.
