Truths from the book of books

We want to send ahead that we're neither christian nor disrespect chrisitian religions nor want to tread on someones toes with this task!

A fortune cookie gives us more or less concrete advice as to how we have to live or whats coming up in the times ahead.
In other words it provides us with vague truths and prophecies.
So what other work of men (?) is more qualified to give fortunes, that are apt to be really really true, than the book of books, the one and only Holy Book? (Kompetenzkompetenz ;) )
At least if you presume that it really is God's word and not just some crazy guys trying to make themselves famous or whatever...

But it wouldn't fit neither sfØ nor our cause if we just went along with the average bible quotes that you see (way to often as far as I'm concerned) at bus stations or other public places.
So if you take a look at the bible and you don't have to look very closely you'll see that only a small part of it is quotable if you want to make a point with that quote. And these are the ones you see posted by "saveuall" and the likes.
Our quotes consequenly have no or at least very few statement by themselves. They are in a way mostly pretty senseless, such as: So I bought the waistband in accordance with the word of the LORD and put it around my waist. - Jeremia 13,2.
or: In that day there will be no light; the luminaries will dwindle. - Zechariah 14,6.
Some give at least some very vague information...
All in all we placed 15 "fortunes".

We tried to make up the lack of sense by placing these slogans in certain places to create at least the hint of a sense or rather give people a thought-provoking impulse both about the quote, the bible itself and the chosen surroundings.

The choosing of the scriptures, the typewriting and the printing took a lot longer than we had thought, so we decided to start the main work after dinner. Without realizing that it was the perfect start for this task, we settled for chinese. All the more we had to laugh when we actually got real fortune cookies.




























Of course we hope that no one’s really offended by our work although we’re quite sure somone is.

Enjoy our cookies!
