Christianity today

During my lunch break at work today I was sitting at a table with two women. One of them was about to get married and mentioned that she had to meet the “Reverand” this week so that they could make plans for the wedding. She had heard from friends that he was “very good” [?] but “liked to talk about God and Jesus” [no! He’s a Christian clergyman…that’s a shocker…]; however, she would have none of that…”I will tell him that I don’t want to hear anything about God or Jesus”, she said, to which her friend loudly replied, “right on!” - “I just want to be in and out [of the church]”, she continued.

And I’m sitting there thinking, why get married in a church in the first place? Why not just have a civil ceremony, if you want to be married? Is it the love of ritual or rites? The pomp and circumstance?

At any rate, what a joke Christianity has become in the West…when not even your average secretary believes in its claims.

The evil that is the Zionist Christian Right

“It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God.” (Matthew 19:24.) I have yet to hear a Pentecostal buffoon or Baptist nut quote that passage that they undoubtedly loathe.

Some would compare Hagee to bin Laden, except that bid Laden is a good guy…

The long history of Christian terror and genocide in Europe

Under the Christian axe
The conversion of the Germanic peoples was neither easy nor peaceful. The turning point - at least as far as the continental tribes were concerned - occurred in the year AD 772 when the Frankish Emperor Charlemagne ordered the wholesale massacre of some 30,000 Saxons who refused to convert. The victory of the new faith over the old was made even more emphatic when the Irminsul, the sacred pole of the pagan Saxons (the symbolic equivalent of the Scandinavian world tree Yggdrasill), was cut down at Charlemagne’s command. As the archaeologist Marija Gimbutas has said, this act of desecration would have had the same impact as the demolishing of St Peter’s would have for Catholics.

McCain’s lunatic minister [Wright is at least correct on the Jewnited States’ foreign policy]

That defense implies, incorrectly, that Mr. McCain was a passive recipient of this bigot’s endorsement. In fact, by his own account, Mr. McCain sought out Mr. Hagee, who is perhaps best known for trying to drum up a pre-emptive “holy war” with Iran. (This preacher’s rantings may tell us more about Mr. McCain’s policy views than Mr. Wright’s tell us about Mr. Obama’s.) Even after Mr. Hagee’s Catholic bashing bubbled up in the mainstream media, Mr. McCain still did not reject and denounce him, as Mr. Obama did an unsolicited endorser, Louis Farrakhan, at the urging of Tim Russert and Hillary Clinton. Mr. McCain instead told George Stephanopoulos two Sundays ago that while he condemns any “anti-anything” remarks by Mr. Hagee, he is still “glad to have his endorsement.”

RELIGIONS: 86% OF ITALIANS DO NOT HAVE BASIC NOTION ON BIBLE

I read that filthy jewish book from a to z in my early twenties. I still haven’t decided whether I despise the New Testament more than the Old one. I probably do…The Theology of the Cross is just stomach-churning.

(ANSAmed) - VATICAN CITY, APRIL 28 - Only 14% of the Italians polled by Eurisko for the Catholic Bible Federation managed to answer to questions based on the Bible. According to the research presented this morning in the Vatican City, the things do not go very well in the other examined countries, only 17% have full marks in the United States, 17% in the United Kingdom, 15% in Germany, 11% in France, 8% in Spain. The state leading the classification is Poland with 20%, and the last state is Russia with 7%. The questions are the following: Are the Gospels part of the Bible? Did Jesus write books on the Bible? Who between Moses and Paul was a character of the Old Testament? Who wrote a Gospel between Luke, John, Paul and Peter? Italy is within the last countries as regards reading of the Bible in general, if 75% of the Americans affirm they have read a passage of the Bible in the last 12 months, only 27% of the Italians say the same, the percentage decreases to 21% in France and to 20% in Spain. The Italians, 88% of whom proclaim themselves as Catholics, do not differ as regards the participation in the religious rites, only 32% go to church painstakingly, compared to 55% of the Polish and 45% of the Americans.

Is there a more dangerous and loathsome group of Americans than the Zionist Evangelical Christians?

Why Isn’t The Media Paying Attention To McCain’s Creepy Pastor Buddy, John Hagee? This guy makes Barack’s pastor, Rev. Jeremiah Wright, look like the Easter Bunny.

Why God’s in a Class by Himself

Intelligent Design (ID) creationism has resurfaced in the news again after President George W. Bush’s remarks were (mis)taken by IDers to be a solid endorsement by the president for the teaching of ID in public school science classrooms. (Bush’s science adviser, John H. Marburger 3rd, said in a telephone interview that “evolution is the cornerstone of modern biology” and “intelligent design is not a scientific concept.”)

There was considerable media hype over the story, and I did a number of interviews, including a query from a reporter who asked for my opinion about whether one can believe in God and the theory of evolution. I replied that, empirically speaking, yes you can, the proof being that 40 percent of American scientists profess belief in God and also accept the theory of evolution, not to mention the fact that most of the world’s one billion Catholics believe in God and accept the theory of evolution. But then this reporter wanted to know is if it is logically consistent to believe in God and the theory of evolution. That is, does the theory of evolution — if carried out to its logical conclusion — preclude belief in God? This is a different question. Here is my answer.

You can believe in God and evolution as long as you keep the two in separate logic-tight compartments. Belief in God depends on religious faith. Belief in evolution depends on empirical evidence. This is the fundamental difference between religion and science. If you attempt to reconcile religion and science on questions about nature and the universe, and if you push the science to its logical conclusion, you will end up naturalizing the deity because for any question about nature — the origins of the universe, life, humans, whatever — if your answer is “God did it,” a scientist will ask, “How did God do it?, What forces did God use? What forms of matter and energy were employed in the creation process?” and so forth. The end result of this inquiry can only be natural explanations for all natural phenomena. What place, then, for God?

One could argue that God is the laws and forces of nature, which is logically acceptable, but this is pantheism and not the type of personal God to which most people profess belief. One could also argue that God created the universe and life using the laws and forces of nature as his creation tools, which is also logically fine, but it leaves us with additional scientific questions: which laws and forces were used to create specific natural phenomena, and in what manner were they used? how did God create the laws and forces of nature? A scientist would be curious to know God’s recipe for, say, gravity, or for a universe or a cell. For that matter, it is a legitimate scientific question to ask: what made God, and how was God created? How do you make an omniscient and omnipotent being? Finally, one could argue that God is outside of nature — super nature, or supernatural — and therefore needs no explanation. This is also logically consistent, but by definition it means that the God question is outside of science and therefore religion and science are separate and incompatible.

Bottom line: teach science in science classes, teach religion in religion classes.

Bondage of the Mind: How Old Testament Fundamentalism Shackles the Mind and Enslaves the Spirit

Fundamental Truths
by Tim Callahan
Most of us involved with issues of critical thinking are accustomed to dealing with what we think of as fundamentalism, which implies specifically Christian fundamentalism. Bondage of the Mind deals, specifically, with Jewish fundamentalism. Just as evangelicalism, and particularly evangelical fundamentalism, is a potent force in Christianity, so too is modern Orthodox Judaism a potent force among Jews today.

Christian Zionists lauded by Jewish supremacists

Israel has no better friends in the world than Christian Zionists, Likud opposition leader Binyamin Netanyahu said on Sunday.

I find it beyond depressing that in the 21 century we still have to debunk these absurd mythologies and legends of Middle Eastern sheep-herders that belong to humanity’s infancy.

Book Review: The Politics of Apocalypse ‘The History and Influence of Christian Zionism

“Christian Zionists believe that Jesus can only return the world once the Jews colonise Palestine. This belief is based on the contentious claim that God had granted this land to the progeny of Abraham, through Isaac, that is the Jews, for eternity. This land is not restricted to the present borders of the state of Israel. Instead, Zionists, both Jewish and Christian, believe that a vast swathe of land, stretching from the Nile to the Euphrates, today inhabited by millions of Arab Muslims and Christians, belongs rightfully to the Jews, and so must be ethnically ‘cleansed’ of non-Jewish presence. Hence the justification they offer for their genocidal project aimed at the Arabs.”

Bill White on Christian Identity

I don’t share Bill White’s respectful treatement of CI kooks, CI people tend to be low I.Q. dregs with whom I absolutely have nothing in common. CI theology makes Mormonism look like a credible, historical, level-headed belief-system. Whites need to ostracise them and not cosy up to these lunatics.

Mongrel Obama is not the only one saddled with a religious con man

Why do Americans still need all these snake-handlers and ring-kissers? If you’re not an atheist, you’re either psychologically immature or just plain stupid and ignorant. If you still believe in a sky-god, you only deserve contempt and derision.

There’s a reason Hillary Clinton has remained relatively silent during the flap over intemperate remarks by Barack Obama’s former pastor, Jeremiah Wright. When it comes to unsavory religious affiliations, she’s a lot more vulnerable than Obama.

Here’s another reason why you should despise Christian crackpots, White man

A black baby. Fewer of these = safer, nicer, cleaner neighborhoods.

The gullibility, childishness, stupidity, and primitiveness of Christians are boundless

The following post was prompted by this thread here.

I was watching the “Hour of Healing” with Richard Roberts (son of Oral) and his horny wify…the one that text messages underage boys at 3 a.m. (here). Any way, to cut to the chase, he was saying how God told him to ask his stupid, gullible viewers for a at least 10 $1000 “seed offerings” for his “ministry”…he was bragging that 36 people had already called in to give at least $1000…and I was lying in my bed watching this scummy thief and thinking…religion is the best fucking business in the world! He’s not even fucking selling anything (besides childish illusions) and morons send him money…even after he’s been mired in a financial/political scandal. What can you say about the American people? They sure love their charlatans…

IF YOU’RE NOT AN ATHEIST, YOU’RE STILL A PSYCHOLOGICAL PRIMITIVE!
