What is guinea mate?

There is no god specialized in salvation. If there was, there would be no people who suffer from war, poverty, and discrimination. So why not create your own original god and save yourself? This is the fictional religion created by Isamu Gakiya. There are a total of 108 articles, and this book contains 24 of them.
