"And if I dried his feet with my dirty hair
Would he make me clean again?"
I get the image of kneeling down and praying, asking for forgiveness. Basic Catholic Sacrament of Reconciliation that if you go with sincerity, your sins will be forgiven but some see this as a "get out of jail free card" to not take responsiblity for their actions and that god will always forgive me. (i was there once)
and the truth line
Believe nothing, no matter where you read it, or who said it, not even if I have said it, unless it agrees with your own reason and your own common sense. this is from the Buddha
i interpret it more as think for yourself but that line really could go about 10000 different ways. Psychological Egoism, Normative Subjective Relativism, a lot of eastern spiritual stuff. if we interpret truth subjectively, that runs the risk of creating some large large egos. alright that wasn't quick but hopefully insightful. later dudes
two quick notes
