Religion is so complex. That’s why the Juxtaposed bookshelf designed by Mike and Maaike is so important. It helps you simplify religion by bringing together all the world’s most important religious texts onto one bookshelf. So, if you get in one of those marijuana induced debates on religious differences you can end the debate with a quick perusal of your new collection of religious texts.
