I AM GOD, I AM JESUS, I AM ALLAH, THE TRUTH WILL SET YOU FREE

A writer offers an alternate history for the Abrahamic religions.

Olson opens his slim work by telling his readers that he’s been hearing the voices of God and Jesus in his head since he was 4 years old. The author discloses that he has learned many things from these voices. In the beginning, he writes, God created angels, and one was named Allah and another Satan: “Allah was chosen over Satan to start God’s plan and make man, woman, the animals, and all who live on Earth.” To the readers who will naturally find this claim confusing, Olson asserts that the reason Allah’s name does not appear in the Bible is because it was intentionally replaced by the term “Holy Spirit” or just “God” by two popes named Innocent. According to the author, these popes also changed all of the stories about Jesus, whom Olson calls Noel. The author claims that Noel is actually a son Allah had with his angel wife, Oceanna. When Jerusalem fell to Muslim forces, Olson writes, both popes and a Jewish rabbi “agreed to take Allah out of the Bible” and had everyone who knew about the decision murdered. These popes had the Knights Templar hide illicit scrolls “in caves in Jerusalem.” Then, for good measure, the duo had those knights hunted down and killed. Olson continues to deliver vivid revelations throughout his earnest work—he tells his readers, for instance, that the famous line of Jesus in the garden of Gethsemane “Take this cup from me, Father” was actually inserted into the Bible by Satan in order to torment Allah and Noel. Much of this material is intriguing in a fantastic vein. But all of Olson’s historical claims are decidedly questionable, which will give many readers looking at his declarations about divine conversations pause.

A weird fantasia about key figures of Judeo-Christianity and Islam.
