The Greatest Lie Ever Told

Marriage Advice from Pat Robertson and Others

2014-05-20T12:41:00.003-07:00

People advise some of the craziest things!!!

Sometimes you just cannot help but to laugh at some of the crazy sit religious folk advise when it comes to marriage. Here is a short collection of some pretty funny stuff. Keep in mind I have included a small smattering of non-religious clips. I hope you enjoy these!

Ahhh, the sanctity of marriage according to the Bible! Go run and get your scriptures and let us check this stuff out!!! Seriously. Go and get a Bible or go to a website where you can check this stuff out for yourself. Sooo, if the Bible is the final authority on marriage should marriage today follow these practices?

Dude! Pat Robertson calls this woman a LOSER and then tells her she is not marriage material. LOVELY. Doesn't he just make the best counselor ever? He does make a few points like the woman is making her own hell on earth with her poor marriage choices, sure, but he offers no real advice.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ytUXEW2RKxA

What kind of woman makes good "wife material"? If you want to know just ask Pat Robertson. How about what makes a good man to marry? Pat suggests a Christian woman leave her atheist man since he would be serving the devil and she would be serving God. Yikes.

Haahaaha!!! You just gotta love these Betty Bowers videos on marriage!!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VU7hxJfTKOI

What is marriage as defined by the Bible? How many times is marriage even discussed in the Bible? With as many times as marriage is discussed in the Bible you might think that it must be really REALLY important to God. Hah! Take a peek...

Oh look! How is THIS for marriage advice. Old Grampy Pat Robertson says it is OKAY to marry your first cousin. WTF? Then he goes on to mention watching out for making jacked-up babies because something might be wrong with the genes. This is so very fucked up I don't know what else should be said here.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jdX3bnotX6k

This was just so funny I had to include it even though it has absolutely nothing to do with religion.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h9X7G9-2PRc

Sooo, what about oral sex in a marriage? Well some moron asks Pat Robertson if oral sex is okay. Surprise, surprise!!! He says it is okay. Holy freaking shit!!! Pat Robertson says oral sex is okay...depending on what is in your mind at the time. Hummm.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NrU59B_pxfM

Here is another funny tidbit I found totally necessary to include with this posting.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BAhmfi5qA_8

Well, well, well. This sister of the crock-o-duck creator, Kirk Cameron, gives her two pence on what she thinks is good marriage advice. Well, I suppose if it works for her, it works for her. How in the hell can she be so surprised that what she said raised so much controversy? Ditz...just like her brother.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VyoeCnbe_TA

This Duck Dynasty fellow is a real work of art. Listen to his "advice" to young men for looking for a good woman to marry. So fucking stupid. Marry a girl at 15 or 16? Sicko.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H_YchVeJs50

Sooo, this 17 year old kid asks Pat Robertson for marriage advice to help his parents. What does Pat do? First, Pat says to get them out of the house on a nice romantic vacation. That actually sounds like good advice. BUT, then Pat suggests that it is the mother's fault, even stating that it was "easy" to blame the mother.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wuLBGUcR2b4

WTF?! Douche-bag Pat Robertson gives some of the WORST marriage advice here when telling a man to divorce his wife who has...well, you watch it and perhaps you will be as disgusted as I was.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_qt_JCnRdCQ

What if the marriage advice you are seeking does not have to do with your own marriage? What if it has to do with your gays sister getting married and she wants for you to be one of her bridesmaids? What would Pat Robertson say to do? What is the will of God concerning this?
k4 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ErmD34zSy

This response to another YouTube video in regards to marriage in the Bible is pretty interesting.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZW7EIzcgpIk

Pat Robertson should really stop TRYING to give advice.

What Does God Do to Gays? Part II

2013-12-24T13:53:00.000-08:00

If God is Who many of the cynically delusional in religion claim Him to be, then God has LOTS of ideas as to how to mistreat gays, right?

According to some of those who would assert that the Holy Bible is absolutely true God is responsible for everything that happens. Everything. Blessings, punishments...EVERYTHING. Nothing happens without God's say so since everything is a part of His fantabulous plan, which of course was formed and approved by God's planning committee consisting of He, Him, and Himself. ANY and ALL punishment for all things 'sinful' are by God's supposed divine Will. It all boils down to this: If someone is punished for their sins...well, that is simply how it is going to be. It doesn't matter how it was done or who it was by, or whether or not it was something terrible and crappy and totally fucked up since God purposely allowed it to happen in order to punish them for their wicked ways. I see.

Sooo...I was thinking that the clips from the first part of this particular discussion were bad enough, right? Well, apparently God has lots of ideas as to how to mistreat gays. Notice that God does not say specifically to do this or that, but He sure as fuck does not stop any of His folks or ANYONE for that matter (or Himself) from some of the terrible things done to gays whilst in fits of intense homophobic passions, does He? And, yes, it must be noted that all Christians are not homophobic and do not all hurt gays, and likewise not all homophobic people are Christian and not all homophobic people hurt gays in some form or other. Just gotta put that out there to be fair.

This man was murdered because he was gay. There are people who celebrated his death as judgment by God for being gay. Sickening. This human being was murdered because of his sexual preference. How is this punishment more important to God than killing those who kill other people, or who rape other people, or who commit adultery and other crimes? I thought it says in the Bible that all fall short of the glory of God? If that is the case...

How do you think this same East Indian politician would feel if the United States booted out all of the East Indian people who are here in the states and who are not Christian and who insist on practicing their cultural practices here? That would be immensely offensive to the people and their country and their sense of humanity. Where is this asshole's sense of humanity? Oh, that's right. He's an asshole.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0LgEmjktVic

Sooo...does the police department involved here think that the gay bar and its patrons deserve less protection because they are gay? For Christ's sake! The place was getting damaged and people beaten! What the fuck more do you need to protect and serve? A straight dick and a cross?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9PiGqwrfmOE

Some religious zealots and fundamentalists and literalists are dedicated to slippery slope thinking...big time. Oh, look! If you give gays any rights the earth will go up in a big ball of flame and the Tribulation will set upon man faster than ever! AAAAHHHH!!!!!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vPBEZmuuPAw

Sooo...never mind the science of climate shift, but the mega hurricanes are really punishment from God because He is so pissed off with the sin of being gay that He decides to punish people who are NOT gay...by virtue of the weather? Who is being punished for what here? I am a lesbian. What the hell did Hurricane Sandy do to me? Why would someone else who is NOT a lesbian be punished for me being a lesbian? How does this work?

What Does God Do To Gays? Part I

2013-12-23T15:10:00.000-08:00

Divine sanctions for mistreatment of homosexuals?

Sooo...if being gay is a bad thing how does God want people to behave in regards to punishing what is supposed to be a very bad thing? Does God tell people what the punishment is supposed to be or does He let them choose how to punish gays so long as it is something that falls under the confines of the definition of 'punishment' or something similar? Let's take a peek, shall we?

Sooo...what God does to punish gays is to punish EVERYONE? Why in the world punish everyone for something so few do? Does law really work like this, where everyone should be punished for what others do? Is this divine judgment? And garbage like this is precisely part of what gives God and religion such a bad name. Seriously? You really, really think that the changing weather patterns in Colorado are part of some divine judgment for issues with gay marriage? You're smoking crack, dude. It is called 'weather' and it happens to be a major part of the processes of this planet, which by the way is a living planet so these thing DO happen. And why the fuck would God punish everyone in Colorado for something only a fraction choose, hummm? That sounds fair and balanced, right?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BjLJgsdoCH0

This guy thinks that gays (or at least people who engage in gay sex) should be shot in the head with a bullet or bow and arrow. Wonderful. He says this toward the end of this clip in case you were wondering. I only say that because this fellow goes on and on before he gets to saying that. Anyways, this is quite the misleading video. The wrestler's stage name was Rick Michaels and his real name is Raymond Rawls. He was charged with sexual exploitation and NOT being gay as this ding dong apparently thinks. Sexual exploitation IS a crime...as it SHOULD BE. Being gay is not a crime, as it SHOULD NOT BE.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tzqhX66cCz4

Did you know that the term 'sodomy' is not only NOT in the Bible, but it is a terrible and purposeful misinterpretation added to the repertoire of the Christian religion by those seeking to control by redefining what the divine is against as far as sex goes? No? Check this out: http://nwanglicanblog.wordpress.com/2011/02/14/sodomy-a-biblical-word-study-that-might-surprise-you/ And did you know that the sin of Sodom and Gomorrah had nothing to do with homosexuality? Check this out: http://www.webpages.uidaho.edu/ngier/sodom.htm Sooo...you do realize that the first use and supposed intended meaning of the word 'sodomy' is completely inconsistent with the Bible, right? The Bible never, NEVER said such a word with such a meaning. People added that shit. Check this out: http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/sodomy And finally, here is the clip where some ass munch named Pat Buchanan says gays ought to be castrated at about 3:10 into the clip:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=odJHdqNYYCM

This is horrible and deeply heartbreaking. People did this to their child whom they suspected was gay. A child. Their child. Do YOU have children? Would you do such a fucked up thing to them just because you suspected them to be gay? Do you know what it is like to be looked down upon and belittled and harassed and demeaned and mistreated because you are gay? Do you know what it is like to want to die because of how you are treated because you are gay? Would you want your sibling or child to feel such a way?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6dFEYqpYxMg

God, the Bigot. And yes, Bigot should be capitalized since God IS the biggest, baddest BIGOT there ever was, correct?

Jail time for being gay. ? Jail time for being gay? Robbers and thugs and molesters go to jail for harming, HARMING others. In a same-sex marriage someone is creating a bond with someone they LOVE. If you are straight...would YOU go to jail to marry the man or woman you love? I am a woman. Would I go to jail just to marry the woman I love? Yes.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PJ1ddkVH1AU

Duck your head? This woman is fucked in her head.

Where is the wrath and punishment of God for elder abuse, rape, robbery, battery, exploitation, bigamy, pedophilia, physical abuse, mental abuse, spiritual abuse, child abuse, animal abuse...all of these abuses that some people seem to have an affinity for? Out of all of these terrible things God chooses to punish EVERYONE for those who are gay? Being gay is not a crime, but rape is a crime. Being gay is not a crime, but child abuse is a crime. Being gay is not a crime, but robbery is a crime. Being gay is not a crime, but elder abuse is a crime. WTF, God?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=25kzeO4Vlt0

Maybe part of the problem is that there are some people who just have a need to be mean, whether or not the fulfillment of that need pacifies some deep-seeded desire for control and power. I do not know. But...I think there are just some people who have this need, this push from within them, this propensity to be mean...and they WILL defend this need. Yikes. Fuck 'em.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ktaNcZf44O8

What a move by these parents who set this shit up, hummm? Shut out the gay kids? What a way to bring a society and a people together, what a way to teach your children/the next generation how to behave and treat others. Nice.

Signs Jesus is Coming Soon

2013-12-20T21:37:00.000-08:00

And HOW Long Have the Religiously Afflicted Been Claiming This?

Loads and loads of people over roughly the last couple of thousand years have tried to predict when the supposed second arrival of Jesus Christ will take place. Do you ever wonder what the Bible has to say about this? Let's check it out, shall we?

Matthew 24:36, "But no one knows of that day and hour, not even the angels of heaven, but my Father only."

Sooo...when it comes to the above verse what I would like to know is how in the freaky-doo can GOD know when Jesus will return but Jesus Himself will NOT know. How does this work? Isn't Jesus supposed to be God? Wouldn't Jesus be all-knowing? If Jesus is all-knowing then...uhmmm...wouldn't He know the details of His scheduled return to planet earth? Some translations of this verse even say that the Son does not know. Lovely. Why not confuse the fuck out of your followers, right? Give 'em something juicy to argue over for centuries. Wonderful. Anyways, the point made here with this verse is that no one is supposed to know. Considering that...why the fuck believers continue to make predictions as to when Jesus will come back is curious. Even when people say, "We don't know when, but soon," that is STILL making a prediction.

Matthew 23:34,"Most certainly I tell you, this generation will not pass away, until all these things are accomplished."

Here we have an apparent blunder by the Son of God Himself, and why more Christians don't pay closer attention is interesting. Those who DO pay attention have all sorts of ways to explain away this divine SNAFU, right? In verse 36 of this same chapter Jesus says only GOD knows when the return will be and that even the Son (that would be Jesus) does not know. Hummm. But...here in this verse Jesus clearly makes a prediction as to when the return will be. He says the present generation will not pass away until all of these things have happened. For many Christians, when this obvious Jesus-flub is pointed out they claim that Jesus was referring to the present generation of Man that fell from the Garden of Eden. Of course, ask them about any other generation of Man that fell from the Garden of Eden and they look at you like you are crazy. Seriously. Ask them. Why would the term "present generation" be used unless there is some kind of reference to a past and a future generation? That was explained to me as the past generation was Man before he fell and the future generation is the one that will live eternally with God in heaven. Thus, when Jesus referred to the present generation He really meant all of mankind that is fallen which then means Jesus could come back whenever He freaking wants to and still be correct. Clever. Well, looks like they got all of that horseshit covered.

Matthew 16:28, "Most certainly I tell you, there are some standing here who will in no way taste of death, until they see the Son of Man coming in his Kingdom."

Now here is yet another interesting verse, right? Jesus says that there were some there in His presence who would not die until they saw the Son of Man coming in His Kingdom. Sure. Jesus isn't back and all of those mofos who were standing around are all dead...LONG dead, right? This was explained to me a couple of ways one being that Jesus was referring to no taste of death since they lived eternally in the Holy Spirit or some crazy hodgepodge of religious dogma, and the other that Jesus was referring to His transformation and ascension into the big blue sky to be with Big Poppa. Whatever. What explanations have you heard?

Sooo...what about those people who wish to insist that Jesus said there would be signs of His return? Well, let's take a peek into the Bible for info on that as well, hummm?

Mark 13:22, "For there will arise false christs and false prophets, and will show signs and wonders, that they may lead astray, if possible, even the chosen ones."

In the above verse people are warned about false messiahs and prophets makings signs that are not real signs, right? Sooo...all of these crazies who swear by whomever they swear that they have received or seen a real sign really should consider this, right? What is hilariously funny is each of these truly believe they are the one with the real signs while everyone else is false. Good stuff! By the way...if the chosen ones can be led astray how in the fuckey-doo are they the chosen ones?

Acts 2:19, "I will show wonders in the sky above, and signs on the earth beneath; blood, and fire, and billows of smoke."

In this verse is where the real lunatics of religion find their foothold to claim that just about any natural disaster is a freaking sign from God that Jesus is just around the corner. Sounds like God is trying to rip off on nature by counting on people not realizing it is nature they are viewing and not the fairy tale power of the Bible's God.

Luke 21:25, "There will be signs in the sun, moon, and stars; and on the earth anxiety of nations, in perplexity for the roaring of the sea and the waves; "

Oh, look. Here God is ripping nature off again when it comes to power and awe and things that appear to the unlearned to be miracles but are really normal. Oh, and the reference to the anxiety of nations is equally stupid, right? When hasn't there been some nation or nations on earth squabbling, hummm? There is always someone fighting someone else over something. Even if all of the nations of the earth decided to quit fighting you could probably accurately bet that the countries of the Middle East would opt to continue fighting. Sooo...this anxiety of the nations thing is retarded and absolutely no big revelation of any type.

Why do believers look for signs of anything anyways, hummm? If they are so protected by their God and so favored by Him and so blessed...what the fuck are they worried about? When Jesus gets here, He gets here, right? Why toil over it, why worry, why scare the shit out of yourselves wondering whether or not you are going to meet God's standard, hummm? If God is everywhere wouldn't everywhere and everything be a sign for believers? Go on that and be happy about it. If not, why try to make some kind of holy sign out of every damn thing that happens? That is so stupid. Besides, in Luke 11:29 didn't Jesus admonish those who sought signs, "When the multitudes were gathering together to him, he began to say, "This is an evil generation. It seeks after a sign. No sign will be given to it but the sign of Jonah, the prophet."

If you are a believer you shouldn't need any kind of sign because you already believe. With your whole heart at that. If you are a believer looking for or seeking or claiming to have discovered a sign or anything of the like you need to know you have a problem. There is something wrong with your faith from within you. You should not be seeking signs and trying to interpret crazy shit. Just do your divine duty and believe. You do not need to pop about on street corners and pubs and wherever claiming the signs of the times are here. Don't you understand that if people do not believe as you do they do not care, do not give a shit, do not believe in any second coming or first coming for that matter, and most certainly are not seeking signs? Sometimes non-believers might say, "Show me a sign," but that is just a way to try to break it to you demented people who believe this crapola that there are no signs, you have no signs, cannot make any signs, and should be holding signs reading "Disillusioned with Promises of Perfection."

Now, onto some videos.

This is delicious fun! Sooo...this guy has a dream with Bill Nye the Science Guy, and has interpreted this dream to mean that Jesus' return is nigh? Wonderfully hilarious! What is the deal with filming this important message in your car, buddy?

Dude, you people are idiots. Do you know of or have you ever heard of such things as minerals and gasses and natural phenomenon that can change the color of water to a reddish color? Why are you fucktards pretending that there are no explanations for this? You aren't scaring anyone but yourselves, you know this, right? A geo-scientist will know what is going on and sure as hell won't be scared...and the really great thing is you do not have to be such a person to know why the water is turning this color. By the way, it has nothing to do with Jesus or God.

Your fairy tale ramblings of a divine zombie peeking around the corner just ready to spring on man is a crock of shit. Sorry to break it to you, but the truth does not consist of crocks of shit, nor has it ever.

Biblical Literalism

2013-12-19T09:40:00.007-08:00

Danger, Danger Everywhere and So Many Who Wish to Drink

Biblical literalism is one of the more dangerous aspects of Christianity. What biblical literalism is is taking the words of the Bible and interpreting them in their most basic, literal sense. In case you didn't know this can be an extremely dangerous, destructive, stupid thing to do. Are there exceptions to this when it comes to things in the Bible? I would say yes. How? Well, consider what is said about love (the good things that are said about love), right? Love is patient and kind and conquers all. Or how about the verse that says there is no greater love than that a man lay down his life for his friend (John 15:13)? These are good things, good concepts and ideas.

BUT...when it comes to things like stoning your kids when they are being brats (Deuteronomy 21:18), killing those who work on the Sabbath (Exodus 31:14), stoning a woman if her groom finds her to not be a virgin (Deuteronomy 22:13-29), killing adulterers (Leviticus 20:10), and more, the ramifications of taking these things literally and actually following them is really beyond reason, as well as beyond the message of love that is supposed to be what the Bible is all about.

Sooo...do the hard-nosed Christians of the world really follow the Bible literally as so many claim it should be followed? If the Bible IS supposed to be followed literally what should have happened to Jimmy Swaggart after he sought the services of prostitutes? Let us take a look at some biblical literalism video clips. Some of these are from non-Christians asking questions or simply venting, some are portions of documentaries, and some are from those within the faith themselves.

This man asks a very good question, right? How is it that so many Christian literalists pick and choose what it is they want to take literally from the Bible? How can they say the Bible is literal and then turn around and not follow everything? How does this work? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ECgoQbJ88Yk

This is heartbreaking. What the hell is wrong with people? This woman found out first hand, in the most tragic of fashions what can happen when biblical literalism runs amok. Would you want this to happen to your daughter? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JnAjke3ZCQE

This is good stuff. Pay attention to the questions asked and fell free to post answers at the end of this posting. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6tJ37YH_uqM

Some of this is Children of the Corn creepy. Listen to what the minister who used to be a literalist has to say about context, language, culture, and custom. Very, very good. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wf-0YQZlM9c

Did you know that the biblical literalism that is SO important to so many Christians is largely a North American phenomenon? I found that to be immensely interesting. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TkcC8FkS6Nc

Will those who decide to take the Bible literally really take the time to consider the questions like that which this man asks, or will they continue to be stout in their literalism (supposed literalism) in an effort to remain true and straight for God and their faith? Is this a wise thing to do? This literalism IS a cop-out, isn't it? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gCgBNm8L5P8

Biblical literalists are not really literalists, are they? If they were there would be a hell of a lot more people in jail than there are now. Are YOU a biblical literalist? If so, when will your next daily sacrifice to Yahweh be? Oh, Jesus took care of that for you? Sooo...then the Word of God doesn't stand forever? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bSAJrMyq9-Q&list=PL25EAA618C5BB6ECD

The old laws of the Old Testament should still apply since Jesus did say that He did NOT come to abolish the law, right? Explain this. I am sure there are at least three different ways I have heard this explained to me having grown up in a very Christian family. What other explanations can there be? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KjHD4QCPa60&list=PL25EAA618C5BB6ECD

Pay attention to what this man points out as being the definition of truth. Very good. And why is the King James version of the Bible one of the favorite interpretations for biblical literalists? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EAktCtTMM58

Good stuff! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U0XXEd1W0pw&list=PL4mXQHptk2LjeezTQqLS7D2sCed6wH3uj

Oh, yeah. Religion largely gets morality ALL wrong. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aEhP6FCjCkQ

God said to do this and to NOT do that. Sooo...how many people actually listen to the one and only true God that they love and actually follow through with ALL of these commands? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oF3TRGh8lrc&list=PL4mXQHptk2LgdG3qgNWiSFkmg6scHTqN_

Well, three cheers for the Bible fudging up royally on the dates, times, places, and people involved in the supposed important events of one of the most popular religions ever. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h5JpD6A3Tm4&list=PL4mXQHptk2LgdG3qgNWiSFkmg6scHTqN_&index=2

Do you think that maybe the Bible has so many contradictions in it to help the dyslexic faithful of the universe to conform? I mean, if people do the opposite of what they are told to do (some people, that is), maybe by God saying something totally the opposite of what He really wants someone to do He will get them to do what they should be doing. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VVpTzThdsds&list=PL4mXQHptk2LgdG3qgNWiSFkmg6scHTqN_&index=7

What are the fear mongers saying now?

Well, it has been some time since we have taken a peek at what the religious 'fraidy-cats of America have been saying is happening or is going to happen. Why don't we take a look?

Sooo...do you really think that your statement that human beings have not yet seen the wrath of God in full as of yet holds any merit whatsoever that may justifiably be used in trying to convert people? What kind of God tries to harvest followers with fear? That is straight up bullshit and any straight thinking person knows it. There is no logic whatsoever to your supposed loving faith that is based on a believe this way or die policy. Oh. That's right. It isn't reason or logic or whatever. It is faith. Nope. Sorry, pal. You got that wrong as well.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hX-W-5L_MNg

You mean to tell me that the Christian group mentioned here has NEVER participated or condoned or encouraged or seeded any kind of prejudice or unfairness? Religion is dangerous.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9DCF3y4Pf08

Hah! These guys simply cannot do the math. LISTEN to the numbers they are trying to present as a solution/idea. Do they realize that millions of Americans times millions of dollars is FAR MORE than what they apparently think it is? Here the great danger for America is people not knowing what the hell they are talking about.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jpjFvA0kBeY

Sooo...if you are a Christian and if someone who used to be famous told you that Christians in America are in danger would you believe it? If you would believe such a claim is that because the person telling you is famous or because they believe in Jesus or both?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6MQLH31LTsg

Preachers using the bad news of the world to scare people into transforming the congregation into greater numbers is nothing new. That's right. Use the mean and terrible things that people do to try to prove your God. This guy says that years ago people were not that educated but that they were more moral. What fucking ever. So, I guess for this fellow righteousness equals an individual who is uneducated or who at least has a very limited access to information in general. Scary.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7214xzvYM84

Oh WOW. Somebody has no teeth. Lovely. Anyways, this guy wants to tell you something that sounds so very detrimental to your survival. Try watching this. You will find it is detrimental to your survival.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MceR9Wl8f7Q

Oh dead, dear Jesus. Beck. This guy is a real hoot who regularly hoots out of his ass.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZjJ50TWB73I

Yes, I know this clip is fairly long but it is worth it to listen to what this man has to say. If you wish to discuss with any Christian person why their belief in the so-called dangers of Evolution are ridiculous you should know what and how they are thinking, what their material is.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7z1kRoaYSkU

Purposeful twisting of the fact and information to make it look like the Christians of America are under attack is pathetic. Is God so very powerful that He has to rely on lies and twisted facts in order to scare people into believing in Him?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yIlkk0KcmgI

The DANGERS of Evolution? Interesting. If you are protected by God why in the hell would you worry about Evolution in the first place? Listen to what this guy says, I mean really listen to the individual claims and refutations he makes. It is pure lunacy.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rirMNSeSqaU

Holy shit. This guy is trying to say it is dangerous to read and study different books. He also comes out with this little statistic about so many Christians in the world being killed every so many minutes. Where or how he came up with this would be interesting to find out. But never mind all of that, right? According to this guy the only book you need is the Bible.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tUpWWTfwkBc

That's right. God is angry because you are not teaching people that He is angry. If you are not out there trying to convert people to your faith by preaching God's wrath then you cannot control them with their fear. If you cannot control them with their fear then your religious delusion and its hold on other will dissipate.

Claims from Ridiculous Christians

2013-11-24T18:54:00.000-08:00

Read Ester Lighthorse's NEW e-book Turkey Broth for the Spirit: Just a Few Questions: the Pentateuch:
http://www.amazon.com/Turkey-Broth-Spirit-Questions-Pentateuch-ebook/dp/B00GVLQ0CY/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1385653561&sr=8-1&keywords=ester+lighthorse

Joseph Farah

Have you ever come across a magazine called the Whistleblower? If you have not I encourage you to go and pick one up, take a peek inside, and read some of the craziest bullshit some Christians spew as truth. Absolute ridiculousness is what it is.

In the May 2011 issue of Whistleblower, Volume 20, No. 5, Joseph Farah writes an absurd article in a letter from the publisher on pages 3 and 4. I would like to comment on that particular article here. Yes, I know it is a fairly old article but I would still like to comment on it. I had actually never even heard of this magazine until I was at a friends home and she showed me a couple of articles from a different issue. I was intrigued and requested to borrow a few copies. I took the magazines home and began to go through them, coming across this piece fairly early on.

What I will do here is type the comment made by Farah, and then make a comment of my own in response. I will type his comments word for word just in case you were wondering.

1. "Some people call me a radical." -Joseph Farah- May 2011 Whistleblower

No. Radicals favor drastic political, social and economic reforms...something you clearly do not favor. You do not wish for gays to have the right to marry and you have problems with the idea of Pro-Choice (since it is otra de la ley of Him Who you worship) along with all sorts of other issues that you plant, grow, and harvest from your little field of religious-political fanaticism. Reforms should be good things. You wish to deny people basic rights and just in case you did not know, that would definitely NOT qualify as drastic reform. It might qualify as drastic set-back.

You have this air of wishing to revert to the 'old'. The 'old', some of it, is still very good. What you do not seem to understand is there are elements of the old that are not so good. Perhaps for the time in which it was birthed much of the old was good, but you also seem to forget that even those who created the old recognized that not all of it was good and great. It was all new, remember? Experimental. The Founding Fathers knew they wouldn't get it all right and even suspected they would get some of it wrong.

2. "As I've said many times, "conservatism" cannot save America. It's too far gone from what it was intended to be to save it through holding on to what we have left. And that, by definition, it what "conservatism" is all about."

No. Your assessment of America being in a state of poor health is inaccurate. Yes, we DO have money problems and a deficit ten times the size of Texas. But, this is not what you are referring to, is it? Neither are you referring to pointless wars, the great need for good and affordable healthcare, bickering in Congress, helping communities to recover more quickly from natural disasters such as Katrina and Sandy, or dealing with the issues eating away at social security, are you?

What you are referring to is essentially a religious issue for you, isn't it? For some twisted reason you think the issues that this nation in particular experiences are the direct result of people falling away from God and Jesus, right?

3. "If "conservatism" means cutting the budget but still overspending, borrowing from future generations and ignoring constitutional limits on the federal government's power, then I am not a conservative. Yet that is what many of the most prominent conservatives are doing in Washington right now."

Oh, look! Here you try to make it look like it isn't a religious issue. This is a half-ass effort though, right? I mean, what is it that you say toward the very end of this article? Here is what you said:

"If there is an opportunity for the bad guys to manipulate and exploit the crisis they have created, there is also an opportunity for lovers of liberty and lovers of God to do the same."

See? You don't give a shit about the budget and the money and social security. What matters to you is WHO is qualified (according to your rules) to participate in various liberties and whether or not people who believe in God (presumably the same God you believe in) are the ones making the rules.

Don't kid yourself into thinking that this country's problems have to do with people not wishing to follow your Invisible Pal. Yes, there are leaders in this country who abuse the system, abuse money, and abuse liberties...but this is NOT the case with all or even a majority of our leaders and has NOTHING to do with God. These problems are caused by people and not by some all-powerful divine being trying to teach the citizens of this nation any kind of lesson.

4. "George Washington was not a "conservative." Neither were the other founders of this once great country. They actually came up with something quite new in the history of the world- the idea of self governance. They did something unique in the history of the world. They not only threw off the yoke of foreign domination, but they invented a political system that took the shackles off the people and placed those shackles where they belong on central government."

Sure, shackles were placed on our central government by the Founding Fathers. BUT, those shackles were intended for issues in regards to government function and legislation and NOT intended to shackle the government and prevent the government from changing things that somebody's God thinks are wrong...like same-sex marriage or removing religion from government (or keeping it out).

Again, you are by no means a revolutionary or anything even remotely similar. What you ARE is a pouting Christian, put-out by government shaking the tethers of religion. So, what you do is try to regain, or help to regain control by disguising your divine predilections as budget concerns, constitutional concerns (a HUGE lie), and concerns over abuses of personal liberties. Do these problems exist? Oh, yes...they do. But these issues are not your true focus, are they?

5. "Because we don't need to create something new. We only need to find our way to rediscovering what we had, something that was perverted over time and today is under full-scale assault."

You need to be specific here, Farah. Rediscover what we had? Which part do you want to rediscover? No marriage rights for gays and lesbians? No voting for women or blacks? Poll tax? Manifest Destiny and loads of dead and displaced Native Americans? God in schools? Guns for everyone? Prohibition? Segregation?

6. "In this case, the revolutionaries are the ones running the show. They are the lawless ones. They are the ones who are perverting justice and morality and order. We are merely the resistance fighters."

No. There are not revolutionaries running the show. Yes, there are some real mother fuckers in government who don't know their ass from a hole in the ground and who do abuse much. However, not every leader is like this no matter how much you want to over-exaggerate. Do we have some serious issues? YES. Name a country that does not...

...BUT, what makes America great has nothing to do with God and everything to do with our people and our desire to excel, to exceed expectations, to protect liberties for all, and to persist in a push to be fair. Sometimes we miss our mark...but goddamn if we don't keep getting right back up time and again. Even THAT takes a while at times, but THAT is who we are.

Also, so long as you approach the issues within justice, morality, and order from ANY kind of religious angle it is you who is doing the perverting. Your idea of resistance fighting is nothing more than resistance to fairness and change.

7. "A friend of mine said it this way: "We're not in the middle of a revolution. We're fighting the American Devolution.""

I think it is the devolution from the idea that America was founded by God, for God and for people who believe in God and worship God that bugs you and Christians like you the most. Not all Christians are like you...thank God.

8. "The very will of the American people is under attack in a thousand ways. It's under attack through the popular culture with its desensitizing images and messages. It's under attack from the establishment press, whose members think they are so much wiser than the simple rubes who work hard, provide for their families and serve their country faithfully and heroically in times of national emergency. It's under attack from high priests in black robes who issue decrees that make a disgrace of the concept of the rule of law and mock the will of the people. It's under attack from elitists who run major foundations. It's under attack from globalists who seek to destroy America's national sovereignty. And it's under attack from a central government that has broken the shackles deliberately placed on it just over 200 years ago by our Constitution. The onslaught is coming fast and furious from these enemies of liberty."

You make it sound like the American people are stupid. What is wrong with you? Do you really think our citizens are desensitized to the things in this world that are right? Do you only watch and think about and read about the bad things that happen in this nation? There ARE good things, you know. Just because people play GTA, watch risque movies, go to church less or not at all and listen to Lady Gaga that does not mean that they don't care about each other and don't love this country.

Oh, and I hope your reference to people serving the country faithfully DOES NOT only apply to those who believe in God, right? You DO know that Atheists who love this country, and people of other faiths who love this country serve faithfully as well...right alongside their Christian brothers and sisters, right?

9. "They are attempting to overwhelm the will of the people and the rule of law by setting political and cultural bushfires from coast to coast. The process is in overdrive. They believe they have an opportunity to reach their goals for the conquest of the American spirit in the short term, and they don't want to miss this opportunity."

Conquest of the American spirit? Conquest of the American spirit? We have made it through the Revolution, Civil War, sickness outbreaks, great natural disasters, world wars, conflicts, great political scandals, great tragedies in some of our individual communities, presidential assassinations, and FAR MORE. So, if you think the American spirit can be so quickly diminished, so obtusely swept aside with such great disdain...your faith is misleading you, and you sir, are fucked in the head.

How DOES God Win?

With Neither Sword nor Spear

I Samuel 17:47 says, "...and that all this assembly may know that the LORD saves not with sword and spear. For the battle is the LORD’s, and he will give you into our hand.”

Sooo...what does this verse mean? If you are a Christian what have you been taught that this verse means?

I was taught that this verse in part explained the saying, "The LORD works in mysterious ways." In other words, whatever the will of God is when it comes to winning and losing the fact remains that the LORD always wins. The paradox is that sometimes it is difficult to see the victory that already exists, or, even more difficult to refrain from labeling the loss of a situation as an indicator of God failing to win.

What the LORD/God calls a win is not always evident to man. It is a mystery to us why God has already won every battle and defeated Satan, it is a mystery to us why bad things happen to good people, it is a mystery to us how God always wins yet never so much as lifts a sword or tosses a spear.

Sooo...the LORD never raises a sword or a spear...and still wins? Let's take a peek into the Bible and find out how it is possible for God to always win.

Genesis 11:6-9
6 "Look!" he said. "The people are united, and they all speak the same language. After this, nothing they set out to do will be impossible for them!

7 Come, let us go down and there confuse their language, so that they may not understand one another’s speech.”

8 So the LORD dispersed them from there over the face of all the earth, and they left off building the city.

9 Therefore its name was called Babel, because there the LORD confused the language of all the earth. And from there the LORD dispersed them over the face of all the earth.

Not all situations of winning and losing have to do with war. Sometimes it is just a matter of whether or not God is going to allow people to go about their lives peaceably. When God leaves people alone...great. Everyone wins. When God decides to stick His nose where it does not belong...man loses every time.

And what about the above verses? Where is the winning and losing? The losing is where God purposely throws the people into confusion, causing the people to disperse/disband. Man is the loser here, which by default makes God the winner. Sooo...here we have established that God has used CONFUSION to win.

Exodus 4:21

21 And the LORD told Moses, "When you arrive back in Egypt, go to Pharaoh and perform all the miracles I have empowered you to do. But I will harden his heart so he will refuse to let the people go.

This here is a very interesting, very telling verse when it comes to understanding how God tricks people into thinking they have any real power to begin with. God tells Moses to go and show Pharaoh all of these great wonders, actions that are supposed to convince Pharaoh to let the people of Israel go, right? Wrong. God has given all of these powers to Moses and they mean absolutely squat because God has purposely hardened Pharaoh's heart. Sooo, here we have established that God wins by interfering with a person's free will.

Exodus 7:3-4

3 But I will harden Pharaoh's heart that I may multiply My signs and My wonders in the land of Egypt.

4 Even then Pharaoh will refuse to listen to you. So I will bring down my fist on Egypt. Then I will rescue my forces--my people, the Israelites--from the land of Egypt with great acts of judgment.

Oh, look! Three cheers for God being consistent in continuing to harden Pharaoh's heart. Sooo...here in this case we see that God still presses for a win by interfering with or removing a person's free will altogether.

Exodus 7:13-14

13 Still Pharaoh’s heart was hardened, and he would not listen to them, as the LORD had said.

14 Then the LORD said to Moses, “Pharaoh’s heart is hardened; he refuses to let the people go.

Please. As if God didn't know what the hell was going on. Here, God gets demerits for playing dumb, but does get kudos for His enduring consistency to win by hijacking man's free will.

Exodus 8:19

19 Then the magicians said to Pharaoh, “This is the finger of God.” But Pharaoh’s heart was hardened, and he would not listen to them, as the LORD had said.

Sooo...here we have a slightly different version of God taking someone's free will hostage, right? How so? Read the verse. It says Pharaoh would not listen due to the hardening of his heart deafening his ears to what people around him were saying. The choice to listen to any one message or person is a power that must remain with the individual. That does not happen here.

Exodus 8:29

29 Moses answered, "As soon as I leave you, I will pray to the LORD, and tomorrow the swarms of flies will disappear from you and your officials and all your people. But I am warning you, Pharaoh, don't lie to us again and refuse to let the people go to sacrifice to the LORD."

Don't lie to us again? Pharaoh ISN'T lying because Pharaoh ISN'T making the choice to refuse to let the people go. God is doing that. Does Moses suffer from some kind of memory disorder? Does he not recall God informing him that God was going to harden Pharaoh's heart? Moses knows damn well what God is doing. It is Pharaoh who is the clueless one in this situation and that isn't even by his own choice but by God's bullshit fighting tactics. Sooo...here we have an interesting element added to God's bag of winning tricks: make the person you are against look like a liar when they are really not a liar. Pharaoh is not the one lying here. This little twisted game of pretend makes both God and Moses liars.

Exodus 10:1
1 Then the LORD said to Moses, "Return to Pharaoh and make your demands again. I have made him and his officials stubborn so I can display my miraculous signs among them.

Wow. Sooo...now God is going to include Pharaoh's officials in His twisted game of 'Let's Steal Someone's Free Will'. Why does God do this? Was robbing Pharaoh of HIS choice not enough? Is it because the officials are starting to realize something is wrong with Pharaoh and he would normally never react in this manner? Here we have God winning not just by taking the power of choice from one person...but from many. God obviously give a shit about the needs of the many or the needs of the few. His concern is the needs of the One.

Exodus 10:20
20 But the LORD hardened Pharaoh’s heart, and he did not let the people of Israel go.

Geeze...how many times is God going to use this one tactic?

Exodus 10:27
27 But the LORD hardened Pharaoh’s heart, and he would not let them go.

Apparently lots and lots of times, right?

Exodus 11:10
10 Moses and Aaron did all these wonders before Pharaoh, and the LORD hardened Pharaoh’s heart, and he did not let the people of Israel go out of his land.

Do you think God would use this tactic against you...maybe to teach you some fantastic lesson or two?

Exodus 12:36
36 And the LORD had given the people favor in the sight of the Egyptians, so that they let them have what they asked. Thus they plundered the Egyptians.

Holy shit! Now God has gone far beyond just bamboozling Pharaoh and his advisors. Here God robs an entire people of their minds/their power of choice. And WHY does He do this? So that on the way out of Egypt the people of God can rob the Egyptians of their valuables. How is THAT for a divine tactic to win?

Exodus 14:17
17 And I will harden the hearts of the Egyptians so that they shall go in after them, and I will get glory over Pharaoh and all his host, his chariots, and his horsemen.

Ahhh...so it is NOT enough that God has used terrible tactics to win and get His people out of Egypt, to rob the Egyptians, and to leave in victory. No, this is not enough of a win. God wants a GREATER win so more people will be strangled by fear and choose to believe in Him. Sooo...what does God do? Again, God wins by taking a person's power to choose. The Pharaoh and his army have no choice but to follow the people of God. Lovely.

Exodus 14:24-25
24 And in the morning watch the LORD in the pillar of fire and of cloud looked down on the Egyptian forces and threw the Egyptian forces into a panic,

That's right...God DID take your freedom of choice, but He does have a nice parting gift for you as He decimates you in a great victory:PANIC. God loves using panic and does it quite often in the Old Testament.

25 clogging their chariot wheels so that they drove heavily. And the Egyptians said, “Let us flee from before Israel, for the LORD fights for them against the Egyptians.”

If only the Egyptians knew that the LORD fights for no one other than Himself.

Numbers 11:1
1 Soon the people began to complain about their hardship, and the LORD heard everything they said. Then the LORD's anger blazed against them, and he sent a fire to rage among them, and he destroyed some of the people in the outskirts of the camp.

Sooo...the people are upset and have complaints. Instead of talking with the people and fixing things, God wins the argument by BURNING some of the people to death.

Numbers 21:3
3 And the LORD heeded the voice of Israel and gave over the Canaanites, and they devoted them and their cities to destruction. So the name of the place was called Hormah.

See, when God's people win it isn't because God is so great and mighty and full of love and peace. No. They are not victorious in the true sense of victory where justice and truth win. Here the victory comes because God made it impossible for them to lose by simply giving the Canaanites over. Nice.

Numbers 21:34-35
34 But the LORD said to Moses, “Do not fear him, for I have given him into your hand, and all his people, and his land. And you shall do to him as you did to Sihon king of the Amorites, who lived at Heshbon.”

Is it just me or does it seem like God loves to simply hand people over to great destruction?

Deuteronomy 7:2
2 When the LORD your God hands these nations over to you and you conquer them, you must completely destroy them. Make no treaties with them and show them no mercy.

Ahh, here we have yet another way God wins: SHOW NO MERCY.

Deuteronomy 7:19
19 the great trials that your eyes saw, the signs, the wonders, the mighty hand, and the outstretched arm, by which the LORD your God brought you out. So will the LORD your God do to all the peoples of whom you are afraid.

Really? Where was this mighty hand for the people of God during WWII? Just wondering. Is that another ones of those God wins in mysterious ways things?

Deuteronomy 7:23
23 But the LORD your God will give them over to you and throw them into great confusion, until they are destroyed.

Oh look, the LORD also wins by throwing people into confusion. Remember...this is NOT their own confusion because GOD put that confusion there.

Joshua 11:8
8 And the LORD gave them into the hand of Israel, who struck them and chased them as far as Great Sidon and Misrephoth-maim, and eastward as far as the Valley of Mizpeh. And they struck them until he left none remaining.

You know what this is? God takes a bunch of people who are on their own property, says "Here you are!" to His own people as He orders the original inhabitants driven out and killed, then when His people kill everyone who was originally there says, "You win." Actually He really means, "I win," but you get the picture.

Joshua 11:20
20 For it was the LORD’s doing to harden their hearts that they should come against Israel in battle, in order that they should be devoted to destruction and should receive no mercy but be destroyed, just as the LORD commanded Moses.

Oh yeah, here we have verification of God purposely making people choose war in order that God win.

Judges 4:15
15 When Barak attacked, the LORD threw Sisera and all his chariots and warriors into a panic. Sisera leaped down from his chariot and escaped on foot.

God loves reusing and reusing and reusing His various tricks to win. Here? That old bugaboo PANIC.

Judges 9:23
23 And God sent an evil spirit between Abimelech and the leaders of Shechem, and the leaders of Shechem dealt treacherously with Abimelech,

Look here! God is not above using black magic to win. If you did this in modern times what would it be called, hum? Black magic. Sending an evil spirit to someone? Black magic. This is your God. This is how He wins. And this is only a FEW of the verses like this that are in the Bible.

Christian Nationalism and Revisionist History

2013-08-28T22:04:00.002-07:00

Try this NEW Ester Lighthorse e-book:
http://www.amazon.com/Turkey-Broth-Spirit-Questions-Pentateuch-ebook/dp/B00GVLQ0CY/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1385332805&sr=8-4&keywords=ester+lighthorse

So, what happens when recorded history does not fit with Christianity?

There are some things that will forever be difficult for me to completely wrap my brain around. I do not mean your general run-of-the-mill subjects like mathmatics, astronomy, language studies, literature, fine art and so on and so forth. The things that bug me the most center around the behavior of some of those claiming to be children of God, believers of the "good news" of the salvation of Jesus Christ for all of mankind.

For all of the truth that is supposed to be the foundation of monotheistic faiths there sure is a lot of lying taking place. Some of the lies are not easily spotted and take an astute mind to recognize and address. Some of the lies are not all that hard to recognize. Some of the lies are so out-of-this-world stupid that you are left wondering exactly what had possessed the individual(s) making such claims to say such a goddamn stupid thing in the first place.

Christian revisionism holds that the United States was founded on Christianity, and that in order for this nation to properly deal with problems the Christian elements of this country's founding must be restored. Here is where all sorts of problems emerge and at the hands of the revisionists at that.

Christian revisionists have a very bad habit of discarding recorded, verifiable history as worthless lies purposely planted by the enemies of God, and by all those whose life mission is to convince Americans that this country was NOT founded on Christianity/the Bible.

Depending on the revisionist you talk to you will be informed that all those against God and the Bible have been extremely clever in their efforts to take away from the Christians the country God intended to be for and to only belong to Christians. In fact, those against the supposed Christian founding of the United States have been so clever that the changes they made to U.S. History are believed nearly by everyone AND the proof that this country was founded as a Christian nation has been purposely hidden or destroyed outright.

The truth of the matter is that the revisionists take ANY information they can find and then twist the shit out of that information in order to fit whatever caca-poo story they are trying to sell. While there is ZERO proof of the revisionists claims (or, depending on how you look at it, loads of proof as to the opposite of revisionist claims) the idiots pushing these deluded claims cling tenaciously to their ridiculous assertions, likely thinking that their insistence to believe such things without proof (or in the face of truth as to the opposite) makes them look courageous, honest, trustworthy, righteous, and absolutely chock-full of the deepest of faith.

Making things even worse, many of those who support revisionist history teach this bullshit to their kids, shamelessly polluting the younger generations with notions that the government lies about absolutely everything, is trying to suppress Christians by taking away their religious rights, and can never be trusted to do the "right thing" which is, of course, whatever the Christian God from the Bible would do. Isn't religion grand? Come, let's take a look at some video clips.

A fine example of a representative of Christianity purposely twisting facts in an effort to prove their non-existent God and claims to the United States being founded by Christians for Christians, as true. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lodtPJPB5vU

This is an excellent video of information that many Christians refuse to see or even consider before they go and make outlandish claims as to the founding of this country.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EbGopoUGcEk

Oh dear Jesus. More lies crammed down the throats of kids who do not know enough to ask why the adults who are supposed to be teaching them are instead lying to them.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4stpX7kI8a8

You know, religious folks have been twisting the truth of the founding of America for so long you would think they would at least be a little better at it than this. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zu-n1vTpCRQ

This is good stuff. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CKUqoboiSWQ

Hah! Limited government originated with Christianity? That's a good laugh. Christianity is about a dictatorship at best, and a tyranny at worst. Christianity has no view of government other than, "Our God says do it this way, or die." http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4MNztgMj5a8

Who gives a shit what Sarah Palin has to say about our government and what our nation was founded on? I am surprised she can freaking count to five. How the HELL did such a ditz get as far in politics as she did? Christ, can you imagine if someone like Palin and someone like Dan Quayle reproduced with each other? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LahUxkyaRh8

David Barton's view of America's founding is not just controversial, it is pure fantasy. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YU_CwuEeJyM

Oh PLEASE. They believed the Bible and the notion men were created in the image of God? Right. Was that why they treated the Blacks and Native Americans and Mexican so well, because they saw them as equals created by God? Gonna have to work a LOT harder to sell that one. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IL5bbFaB8OI

The United States of America...IS NOT...a Christian nation. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h6_1KQrOC3g

This guy LOVES to lie. David Barton can't help but to lie in an effort to sustain any of the crap he claims as far as the USA being founded on the Bible as a Christian nation. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t0PBDtjL5Z0

Dude, if it makes you feel better to truly think that this nation was founded on the Bible and Christianity...well, power to you. It does not make what you say true, but power to you. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BbraElVyTv8

This is what folks like David Barton don't want you to know, what they persistently deny in an effort to sustain their fairytale dreams of the USA being a Christian nation. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BsfgBvOLjAY

It is really sad how these people are so insistent on trying to prove something that is utterly false. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O4gugDXkQZ0

Thank goodness there are Americans out there who have an understanding as to what this nation was founded on...and it is NOT Christinaity. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=60o-NrEHUaI

Pay close attention here to what is said about Thomas Paine. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6j7ep-yhorI

Oh dear. Boy, some people are seriously scary when it comes to their belief that God and Jesus want American for Christians, and that God and Jesus also put certain people in positions of power. Yikes. Freaking scary. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VDdqGhiJ9LU

Great. Another religious freak who thinks wars and earthquakes mean that we (the human race) are in the 'last days' as so described in the Bible. Oh, and I hear Jesus is right around the corner and ready to return and rupture, I mean rapture, his ever-faithful, brainless followers. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rudye-Qgiyc

Jesus Christ, lady. Why can't a rainbow just be a damn rainbow? So, God revealed something to you? Why you? Why didn't He go and reveal something to those who DON 'T believe in Him so that they would see the supposed truth as God intends it to be seen? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pRbaxG487Hs

Some people really have no shame in lying about how and what this country was founded on. But, I suppose as they feel the power they have been used to for so long slipping away they are apt to do and say some pretty stupid stuff in an effort to try to stay in control. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K4JMGSBI5Os

This is really interesting. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=45GGsIJA_T4

A Christian Obsession

2013-08-26T17:28:00.000-07:00

Many Christians have a death-grip on the idea that the anti-Christ is just around the corner from being fully revealed, chomping at the bit while he fantasizes murdering billions of people and putting Christians in particular to death. You know, right when you think people couldn't be any dumber you have stuff like this.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fuwHtTOc_Yw

Nostradamus didn't predict shit. Some people rush to believe the so-called predictions that fit all pretty and snug in the make-believe world of the spiritually deluded, but no matter how hard these folks try to make it appear as though the old seer predicted anything much more complicated than what he would have for breakfast, such efforts do nothing to put anything Nostradamus said/predicted anywhere near the realm of truth.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5GgaCoh1o-Q

You people are fucked in the head. Prophecy will be fulfilled to the letter? Please. What really happens is something bad happens and in response religious loonies zip through whatever scriptures they have, pick out a few ominous verses, and then twist the shit out of the verses in an effort to make it look like actual prognostication took place. Retarded.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e9To_oEvuVY

Hhahaaaa!!!! HHahaa!! Someone needs to warn this lady to NOT mix her liquors.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sKUfT7HWzl8

No. Freaking Jesus did not give the name of the anti-Christ. NOT AT ANY TIME is there any kind of clear reference to anyone being the anti-Christ. There are no statements of, "And there shall come a time when Bob is the anti-Christ," or, "So it came to pass that Billy acknowledged himself to be the anti-Christ," or, "President Obama is the anti-Christ, Thus sayeth the Lord God of Hosts." Nope. Just a bunch of people playing word games and twisted semantics in an effort to validate one of the grandest illusions man has ever known.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HDB5BFoSQLs

Does Satan know the day he is living in? Bitches, are you high? Do you or do you not read your own Bible? You DO realize that according to your own myths that Satan is a supernatural being, right? That right there ought to answer a lot of questions for you.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i3bnnDGG6Qg

This will scare me? No...at least not in the way the religious nuts who made this video want it to. What truly IS scary is the fact people actually believe this horseshit as actual truth. Ridiculous. You have a better chance of getting closer to the truth by reading a freaking fortune cookie.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9-57CzSW-HA

This is so hilarious I had to add it.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=axs8uQWFdl8

Okay, if the anti-christ is supposed to be a man of great intellect and IF George W. Bush is the moron people claim he is...HOW in the hell can he be the anti-Christ?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E-zd14A4zJs

Isn't there always some religious whack-job out there who has been given some supposed burden by God to bring the truth of some disaster to the people of the world? God wants me to tell you this. God wants me to tell you that. Dude, whatever. Don't quit your day job.

When a God of Love is Surprisingly Ugly

2013-08-24T15:00:00.000-07:00

Sometimes, even the people of the world whom many others consider the brightest and most solution-seeking individuals can say or promote some of the most stupid, sense-deprived theories and arguments.

Earlier yesterday morning I was at the house of an elderly, very religious friend of mine helping her to clean. In the course of cleaning I could hear her on the phone for a prayer session. She was asking for God to show His mighty and just wrath on those who are gay or lesbian and those who oppose legislation granting such individuals equal rights and equal protection. She was also very specific in praying that God pour out His wrath on those individuals who are against anti-gay laws in Uganda that evidently call for the execution of homosexuals.

What the hell is wrong with people? There is nothing even remotely good and wholesome in praying for such a terrible thing. I have known this woman for more than three decades and she truly is one of the smartest people I have ever come across and I found it disturbing that someone of such a high level of intellect would utter something so insanely stupid.

This is an interesting article. I encourage you to look up similar articles on the internet.
http://www.advocate.com/news/daily-news/2011/12/15/antigay-ugandan-pastors-face-charges-following-smear-campaign

And Christians think they are being persecuted? I say fight back. Sooner or later the laws will hold the attackers responsible. Until then, fight the good fight.
http://www.advocate.com/crime/2013/07/18/be-killed-or-be-caged

You're goddamn right preachers should be held responsible for hate crimes that can be linked to something they have said.
http://www.thedailybeast.com/articles/2013/01/27/ugandan-gay-rights-group-sues-u-s-pastor.html

Yikes.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y6Rfkb7VeP0

Double yikes.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nT1h-c9BO-U

Is this an example of the love that just oozes out of your God-inspired Bible? Do you suppose Jesus and God know what you are saying on their behalf and what you are suggesting? Are you saying that the love of Jesus Christ may be denied a person because they are gay/lesbian? Are you saying it is okay to kill gays and lesbians? This is your message of love that God has given you from His supposed Word?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d2n7vSPwhSU

Wow. So much for Jesus loves me this I know. So disgusting. So sad. So wrong.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cG25_r_UcgI

Such ugliness!! Holy shit...where is the LOVE, dude? People actually go to this guys church? This is how you get people to know God?

Modern Science: The Christian Kryptonite

2013-07-08T22:04:00.000-07:00

Read the newest Ester Lighthorse e-book:
http://www.amazon.com/Turkey-Broth-Spirit-Questions-Pentateuch-ebook/dp/B00GVLQ0CY/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1385332805&sr=8-4&keywords=ester+lighthorse

Science is King Over Religion

Creationism is NOT a science. Period. No matter how accurate you may think the Bible is. No matter how deeply you believe in the bullshit story of Noah's ark. No matter how much you say that whatever God says goes...Creationism is still not a science. Deal with it.

It is absolutely amazing how many bad things in society are attributed to science in some way by ridiculous Christian ideologies. Such a shame that knowledge should be suppressed, for the suppression of knowledge is what gets your ass into trouble in the first place. Ask a Christian if God had been more forthcoming about that bad tree in the garden and if God had warned Adam and Eve about that serpent fellow...if God had been more forthcoming about such knowledge do you think the Bible story line might be just a bit different?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kUg5S25MVcA

This is an excellent video that shows the blatant lies of one Ken Ham as he tries to twist and misinterpret the words of Bill Nye. Typical attack mode of a delusional Christian desperately trying to do whatever he can to find a way, any way, to validate his ridiculous claims...even if he has to lie. Say, I thought God was against lying?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZCt3xi9hzIc

I love these Penn and Teller videos about the Bible. They are funny, interesting, and have no problem debunking the bullshit myths of the Bible.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8G4zyBmgaeA&list=PL6525C1E80413AC70

I like how this Penn and Teller video starts with one guy saying he believes Jesus died and resurrected, one guy saying that he does NOT believe that Jesus actually resurrected, and one lady saying anything can happen. I love how the old movie film of a version of the Jesus story is labeled as 'actual footage.' Hilarious!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gvPkHpE-oks&list=PL6525C1E80413AC70

Hah! This is great giggle material as this video claims that the Bible more or less founded modern science and was quite advanced in its scientific understanding. This is so hilarious you have to wonder if the folks who made this video are aware of how stupid it makes them look.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9Aw1RUm8Kp4

There is a line in this video that says something like, "Evangelical creationists fight hardest against evolution." This is the absolute truth. Creationists give a good goddamn about the basic principles of science.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PleMt_OqF3s

I love how the formation of morals is discussed in this video with the use of excellent footage of piranhas feasting. The idea that there needs to be a moral law giver in order for there to be morals is simply put a ridiculous idea.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vyd6om8IC4M&list=PLBC721E656CFA1767

This is a great video that gives something of an explanation as to why Christianity hates Darwin and his evolution theory so damn much.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BA_46qTBag0

And people who are caught up in the religion bug wonder why there are so many people in the world who want nothing to do with religion. Look at the huge lie of an article that is taken apart bit by bit by bit in this video, totally debunking the lie of the article's author. Bastard.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ty1Bo6GmPqM&list=PLD3628377B75C9287

Good stuff! Good stuff!!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WnI0jtCwCeg&list=PL666F763D1E252154

Wow. It look like Christianity has been quite creative over the centuries and centuries of its existence. What else do you suppose the members of this cult will create in the future?

If One Element is a Lie or Myth...ALL of it is a Lie or Myth

Looking Into Biblical Claims: III
Leviticus

He Who has the Power to Change the Rules DOES Change the Rules at His Pleasure

Believing in God can be more than just a little hazardous to your health, it can be quite confusing. Christianity would have you believe that this mighty and powerful God inspired a book called the Holy Bible that was in fact literally, directly from God. There are some problems with this idea. The Word of God is supposed to stand FOREVER, but some of God's words in the Bible are entirely horrible in their instructional value and other words falling from the lips of the divine are divisive, prejudicial and of no value to the human being, i.e. stoning your kids when they mouth off at you.

So what happens when we take a peek into one of the more violent religious texts of all time (the Bible) and point out to those who follow such the level of ridiculousness? The answer is always the same: The 'rule' that God set forth in the Bible either no longer applies OR it is being purposely misinterpreted by Godless Jezebels.

Leviticus is one of the books in the Bible that people regularly fight over, especially when it comes to the supposed rules from God concerning homosexuality and lesbianism. Now believers need to get their shit straight...either everything in the Bible is the exact word of God and applicable, or NONE of the Bible is applicable as a law. You cannot pick and choose what is the truth when just two seconds ago you said all of God's words stand forever.

Let us proceed to a few video examples.

This is a particularly good video explaining how the religiously polluted of the universe purposely and carelessly twist around the words of the Bible. Such flippant disregard for the original meanings and intended interpretations of many verses in the Bible is in reality standard operating procedure for the Christian faith.

Listen to the information provided here and ask yourself why Bible interpreters would alter some of the meanings? Then ask yourself how Christians can so smugly proclaim their Bible as truth, the actual words of God Himself, when from the very beginning of Genesis until the last words of Revelation, half-truths, misdirection, purposeful misrepresentation, and outright lies are used by believers to aid in peddling whatever new spiritual product they have wrapped up in fear and have presented to the masses.

What better way to alienate and mistreat those whom you despise than to dig into the Bible and look for any verse that can be interpreted to mean exactly what it is you are claiming God is instructing people to do or not do?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o-M_j4OyatE

This is freakin' hilarious!!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tpgNaxIDnyY

Oh geeze. This guy's explanations along with his 'examples' are pretty damn far out there. I am most intrigued by this man's question as to whether or not certain verses should be taken out of the Bible. He uses an example out of Leviticus in regards to one man marrying his brother's wife and how if they did indeed get married God would make them barren.

This is stupid. God cannot seem to make up His goddamn mind when it comes to procreation. First, with Adam and Eve and even with Noah, God allows rampant incest to occurr in order to populate the earth. Nice. But, when does this edict from the Most High pass divine legislation? One minute God approves sleeping with your sister or daughter and the next minute He is lobbying against marrying your brother's wife?

More Plots of the Devil

2013-07-03T15:57:00.000-07:00

Read Ester Lighthorse's newest book!
http://www.amazon.com/Turkey-Broth-Spirit-Questions-Pentateuch-ebook/dp/B00GVLQ0CY/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1386003781&sr=8-1&keywords=ester+lighthorse

Moo-AH-hahaha! The Devil has your attention, and your salvation, too!

Here in this blog I will be using the words 'Satan' and 'Devil' interchangeably. Yes, I know...they do not mean the same things when considering the context in which they were written. I merge the two to keep things simple for the spiritually ignorant. Please do not be confused by this.

And now, off to the first video.

Okay, here we go again with the idea that Satan/Devil plots against the believers of Jesus Christ and God and all that carnival goop. It is so stupid, though. Think about it. Once you receive Christ, once you are in the Father's hands, you are ALWAYS in the Father's hands. It does not make any difference what you think this Satan/Devil fellow has in store for you, don't you see this? And I am directing this at the believers 'out there' in religious la-la land. You wonder why as time goes by that less and less people want to listen to your poisonous religious rhetoric, and here is your answer. Look at the amount of fear in your life.

Salvation through Jesus Christ is supposed to relieve you of your spiritual suffering and the cost of your transgressions since, as a mere human being, you cannot do so for yourself. So you accept Christ and get baptized and then...you go right back to fearing anything different that you or anything that threatens your snug spiritual blanket you wrap yourselves so tightly with. It is no wonder why so many religious folk have the issues they have with other members of society who do not wish to believe the same.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DXxfduCpC38

Here in this video the more pathological members of the religiously deluded showcase their insensitivity of the suffering of others in an attempt to use great tragedy to try to validate their faith in the greatest lie of all time (well, at least all time up to this point). Sandy Hook, according to some was a plot of the Devil/Satan. Of course there are those who proclaim the tragedy as God punishing people (Americans in particular) for the bad shit they have done, are doing now and will continue doing in the future.

For some believers it is far easier to believe that Satan was responsible for Sandy Hook and not God. Who wants to think or believe that God, THE God, would kill little children as punishment for the egregious deeds of others? Blame it on Satan. Many representatives of Christianity have uttered some pretty ridiculous and calloused shit, but this takes the proverbial cake. This is pretty goddamn low.

Oh, and you want to talk ritual sacrifice? What about Abraham being told by God to sacrifice his son? Oh, that is right. God stopped him just in time so it does not count. Okay, then what about the practice of drinking wine and 'breaking' bread while pretending it is the blood and body of Jesus?

Holy shit! This is so funny! I really like the part where this guy says the dinosaurs have motive to cause evil to mankind being as though the dinosaurs are extinct, and apparently still pretty miffed about the whole thing. When I was a kid and asked about why the fossils were millions of years old when the Bible states our earth's age is only about six thousand years, I was informed that the fossils were both a test by God and a plot of Satan to see who really believes in God or not. Anyone believing what science says in regards to the fossils being millions of years old have been tricked by Satan.

You know, it does not really matter whether or not Satan stops a person from praying...at least not in Christianity. Why? Simple. You are not saved by works. Prayer is a work. Sure, God may want you to drop a line to Him every day but if you have accepted Jesus it does not matter in the end. Once you accept Jesus it is a done deal.

Where the hell is this cretin getting his interpretations? The advertisement on the page is symbolic for the Devil and the anti-Christ? This is supposed to be an actual Satanic plot? Say what? Since when did Satan take up advertising? Some people are not human but rather are Satan's children (literally) in disguise. The really crazy part is this idiot really believes what he is saying.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7JteZS9ReOM

One of Satan's favorite ways to plot against people is to introduce them to occult practices. People want power, strange power, power that most people do not have. To get this power they become witches or cast spells or sell their soul to the devil...yada yada plucka plucka. Satan makes you think you have these powers when you really do not, because God is the only one with powers like that. Hummm. I think the real reason why Christianity is so against occult practices is purely from the point of view of not wanting the competition.

It's All a Plot of the Devil

2013-07-03T11:37:00.000-07:00

Read Ester Lighthorse's newest book!!
http://www.amazon.com/Turkey-Broth-Spirit-Questions-Pentateuch-ebook/dp/B00GVLQ0CY/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1386003781&sr=8-1&keywords=ester+lighthorse

So, what does our cloven-hoofed pal have in mind for you?

This guy's voice is wonderfully hilarious. So, Satan has already devised a plot for my downfall? Hummm. Sounds pretty scary, OOooooooOOO!! He going to deceive me with knowledge. Really? Deceive me with knowledge? Do you realize how stupid that statement sounds? A lie is deceiving. Knowledge, provided it is indeed the truth, is not deceiving. Religion would LOVE for everyone to think of knowledge as deceiving so that way people will not go out and about looking for the truth, but instead stay with a spiritual ideology that strangles the love and enjoyment and beauty and excellence of life.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oCscD8CMoMc

So, the LGBT movement is a plot of Satan? That makes no sense. You are going to tell me that the same supposed evil superpower, Satan, that cooked up Hitler and World War II and the Holocaust is going to show God and God's believers what kind of evil damage Satan can do...by lobbying for gay rights? Do these religious eggheads share these crackpot theories with each other before speaking about them publicly?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nYEup2LKRew

For all of the claims that many believers make as to some plot or other of Satan being exposed, all that ever seems to be exposed is the stupidity of the religious claims people make. The guy in this video seemingly goes the extra mile (hah!) by trying to make his voice sound deep and commanding as he speaks his poppycock. This asshole more or less says that people not believing in the Bible and the Apostle Paul is akin to being an ignoramus and imbalanced.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6PUUwPM93kg

What the hell is all of this incoherent babbling about potters and serving masters and shamanism and sorcery? Our children are to be molded according to the scriptures? Screw that! Have you read the Bible and the things that God tells people to do? I don't want my kids being raised on that shit. So, Harry Potter is a plot of Satan to get control of children? I think you are smoking pot.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=db1diFtf5SQ

Oh look! It seems that Satan is into writing screenplays that contain well camoflauged spells designed to poison people and turn them away from God. I like what the lady in this video has to say.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_lvoYAzjxMs

Oh dear me. Nothing but the truth? Religion wouldn't know the truth if it bit them on the fucking nose. Of course the devil cannot do you any harm...HE ISN'T REAL! Hello!! While you sing your pretty little song in which you claim you have the devil under your feet you might as well throw your Bible right down under your feet with the devil. That would save a lot of folks a lot of trouble.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Egd2bO9Qh_4

Wow. I never would have guessed that Mother Teresa herself was a plot of Satan the WHOLE time. And how did Satan plot to use this nun? Why, he made her addicted to suffering, and in the true expression of brotherly and sisterly sharing Mother Teresa then turned around and shared that suffering with her fellow human beings. Hummm, I wonder if that is part of why when I was a kid I was told that Mother Teresa would not go to be with Jesus when she died?

Companies and Industries Run and Influenced by the Devil or Satan

2013-07-03T05:20:00.000-07:00

Read Ester Lighthorse's newest book today!
http://www.amazon.com/Turkey-Broth-Spirit-Questions-Pentateuch-ebook/dp/B00GVLQ0CY/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1386003781&sr=8-1&keywords=ester+lighthorse

More Christian Bullshit

There is an amazing number of Christians out there in the world today who truly think that many of the companies we rely on to manufacture all of the products we use in our day to day living are companies run by Satan.

That's right. Leave it to the religious zealots and the conspiracy buffs of the world to try to ring the bells of doom and gloom by claiming that Satan is out to get you...through music. So damn stupid.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BAvoyUBzVdk

You know what? Before the uber-religious of the world start harping on the so-called wicked and evil symbols in just about everything around us, they should first take a look at the history of their symbol of the friggin' cross. It does not mean what they think it means.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CdT0OFEgO4o

How do you even start to begin formulating a response to shit like this? There is nothing to be said because it is simply too fucking stupid. For as safe and secure as God is supposed to make His followers these folks sure are locked on the idea that the dangers of evil surround them on all sides. Believers are far too caught up in their own hand-me-down legends of God's wrath and Satan's tricks to really see how their aberrant beliefs make them look like real assholes.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4hZFMCVkzGM

Hummm...this video sounds about as credible as all the other crap in fanatical faiths and justifications. They are in control? Hah! Far from it. The individual controls their own mind, not you. If people want to be controlled, want to fear, want to be packed with worry each day as they try to navigate through a life where the devil could pop out from around any corner at any time, hey, that is on them. It is a terrible waste of life, though.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZY9jjgJhbOk

Yep, you guessed it. Satan has lots and lots and lots of musicians in his evil army. Why do believers seem to be so worried and surprised and defensive and pretty much off the cliff when they talk about this bullshit? Who cares? Who fucking cares? Don't these ninnies remember that in their own Bible it does say that such things are supposed to happen? Actually, it DOESN'T say that, but many have interpreted it to mean so.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D5xAclfgQDw

Oh dear lord. What the hell is wrong with people? Even if this 'meat glue' issue is real, it has absolutely DICK to do with the devil or Satan or Satanism. Fucking 'A' man. Get another damn story because the one you are currently using is beyond over-used.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EZ1_9GtHAIM

Oh look! A religious/twisted-belief ponzi scheme.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=10CqUk_UI_U

Be afraid. Be very afraid....ooooohhhhhh! You can tell the people who put shit like this together don't really believe in God. If they did they would not fear anything. Not even supposedly creepy logos that are supposed to be subliminal messages from the very ruler of hell himself.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yALChEyLyRw

Alrighty-then. So, AT&T is a Satanic company? Yikes. Good thing I have Boost Mobile. This fuck-wad would have you believe that this company really really is run by Satan. Never mind that the term 'Satan' is not meant to be a real being but actually refers to the position of an adversary. Pay close attention to this guy's supposed proof as to AT&T being run by Satan. Retarded.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-2HUfT1l_bk

Look! Up in the sky! It's a bird, it's a plane, it's...it's Satan trying to trick you with a well-known logo from any number of household name companies.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tf6l3naHrWM

Religion is wrong. All wrong. The main reason for rock music is to place spells upon people who would normally not be affected by traditional spell-casting methods? Religion is so damn afraid of the human mind and what it can do and how it empowers people that they are constantly working over-time to get people to refuse to use their mind to the fullest capacity.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=idAz7mFKPrc

What do you know. It turns out that Satan needs money just as much as God needs money. Do you suppose Satan approves of people tithing churches? Do you suppose God gets angry or put-out when people give money to Satan's control instead of Joyce Meyer, Benny Hinn, Creflo Dollar, Kenneth Copeland, Dayna Mouldoon, and others? Making people afraid of money is not going to help them to treat money or each other better.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6U4Kl7yTbl8

Lovely. Another religious crackpot trying to sell his wares of spiritual fear to anyone stupid enough to believe their rantings and ravings. Call out the people of the world who do all the bad shit? Sure. Why not? You DO understand that automatically calls out nearly every religious practice, right? Screw your ideas of false flags, because the number one problem on planet earth is religion and the stupid fear that is stewed up from such.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JoVUdr6kwtE

RRrriiiiggghhhttttt. The Superbowl halftime show was put on by the Illuminati. You people are truly fucked in the head. It really does not matter where people like you look because they will always see something evil and wicked somewhere, especially if it is something that is naturally contrary to your own pittance-valued beliefs.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=akV7fIA5pAM

Well, watching this video you would think that anyone who is a famous musician or actor/actress has also sold their soul to the devil. Really? That is the best story they could come up with? Selling their souls to the devil? Do you people know how fucking stupid you sound?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R3WpdZ3Cqto

Who is this Satan?

2013-07-03T04:21:00.000-07:00

Where do people get their ideas about Satan?

Do you know who Satan is? Do you know the story of how Satan was cast out of heaven by God? Do you know what Satan's sole goal is in regards to man? Do you know the level of power and command over the supernatural that Satan possesses?

Many people who believe in the tabloid gossip about Satan in the Bible would rather cling blindly and resolutely to their distorted faith than to think for even one minute that the stories about Satan are totally false. It is interesting to come across the many interpretations of Bible verses that supposedly clearly indicate that the ultimate adversary to God, Satan, actually exists.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=61eeKakLBbU

It is not man who has been duped into following the wicked wiles of Satan. It is Satan who has been duped and used by God in order that God's mighty, if tragically stupid plan for man be completed in the exact horrible and sadistic manner that God has mapped out.

You know what else? Isn't God supposed to be all powerful? If this is the case and if God truly intended for man to remain in the Garden of Eden to enjoy the glory of God for all eternity, how the hell did Satan get the best of God by tricking Adam and Eve into eating the wrong fruit? And don't give me any of that 'this is God's plan' horseshit. And none of that 'Adam and Eve made their own choice' crap either. That doesn't wash because Adam and Eve did not know what or who (Satan/the Serpent) to look out for, much less even know what 'evil' entailed in the first damn place. God never warned Adam and Eve. Never.

But, didn't God tell Adam and Eve to not eat of the wrong tree? Wasn't that fair warning? God did say that but it was by no means fair warning. Oh, don't eat of that tree or you shall surely die. Well, that is all fine and dandy except for the fact that God never told them about Satan/the Serpent; even though the all-powerful God knew by His own omnipotence that the Serpent was the craftiest thing/person/entity ever He did not warn Adam and Eve but chose to leave that out.

Man did not 'fall' because it is his nature. Man fell because God left out necessary information vital to the survival of man. In torts negligence cases this would mean God breached His duty of care to man by omission, failing to act in the manner a reasonable person would have in the same or similar situation. God's behavior failed to conform to an acceptable level since 'but-for' God's omission to warn Adam and Eve about the Serpent/Satan, Adam and Eve would not have eaten of the wrong tree.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6uH34mWKLZk

Christianity seems to truly believe that it has the sole rights of the truth and information in regards to Satan and what Satan has done, is doing now and will do in the future. This is pure stupidity. The good and evil portrayals in the Bible are the same as that occurred in pagan religions developing before Christianity. Only the names have been changed. Read the Bible or go to any fundamentalist church gathering and you just may be surprised by the number of people who truly believe that if it wasn't for the Bible informing people about Satan no one would know of this terrible evil lurking amongst we puny humans. The really sad part is that the Bible creates far more evil than it repels.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7OU1lG9FxLI

Well, what do we have here? Why it is another presentation of ridiculous religious ideals and practices intended to scare the crap out of people so they will turn to Jesus. Some people/shows/ideologies even toss in a mention of Nostradamus for simple dramatic effect. Lots of people fall for this bullshit.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5R74uO3UOTE

I think it is utterly hilarious that people claim to be Satanist, worshiping Satan as God. The really crazy part is that 'Satan' is a term meaning 'adversary' and is intended to be interpreted in terms of position. Satanism is just as much a bald faced lie as Christianity is. Sure, there were ancient rituals and religions that worshiped deities that were absolutely horrible in their purposes and characteristics, but not anything called 'satanism.' At least not until Christianity came along.

Christianity did not want the spiritual competition provided by pagan religions, and with that in mind those intellectuals who conspired to create the lie of the Holy Bible were all-to-happy to toss in devil worship. Pagans and believers alike were informed by various people at various times in religious history that Satanism has always been around but it previously went by different names and terms and whatnot.

When I was a kid I remember being informed that the Old Testament references to Molec and Baal and other deities were in reality the same as Satan and the worship of Satan. See, Christianity must go out of its way to create these absurd connections between the Bible's presentation of evil divine beings and what ancient history has to say about the spirituality of all things evil in the universe; the number one reason is to show all those with ears willing to hear of how long Satan has been trying to trick man into abandoning God, and how the only way people can be protected and provided for is to concede to the will of God as so presented in the Bible.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WAC40-wIBYc

Eventually, Christianity will have to face the absurdity of the idea that Satan exists as a person, or that he is totally bad, or that every time he brought a little unhappiness to people he did so under his own command and not the command of God Himself. But who really gives a shit, because when you look through the Bible and see how terrible and evil Satan is supposed to be, such negative characteristics are still not even half as bad when compared to God. God is the real source of evil in the Bible, right? Everything begins and ends with God, thus so does evil.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U0qkx1qDU18

Christianity should have given its story about Satan a little more thought before putting such into practice. It is far too easy to prove to be false, or at the very least copied from another religion.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eNn-Vc-cCPo

Nothing is a plot of the devil because the devil does not exist. I am tired of hearing people blame the bad shit in their lives on the devil, Satan, beelzebub, and whatever other crackpot name religion labels what is supposed to be evil. People screw their own lives up; the devil or Satan has nothing to do with their trials and tribulations.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=03sVAunDPPw

This is interesting. The guy in this video is somewhat creepy, but he has some pretty good points to make. Not everything, though. Some of what he says is so far out there he is not even in the stadium parking lot much less left field.

If One Element is a Lie or a Myth...ALL of it is a Lie or a Myth

2013-06-24T11:25:00.000-07:00

Looking Into Biblical Claims Part II
Exodus:

God brought whom out from where?

Other than the spiritual salvation that Jesus Christ garnered for all of mankind when He died on the cross, the most popular and oft quoted story of deliverance from the Bible is the story of the exodus of the Children of Israel from the land of Egypt.
Never mind the repeated attempts to validate the story of Moses parting the Red Sea for a handy-dandy escape route for, oh, about a million people, but with the question as to the very presence of the Israelites being in Egypt to begin with you need not bother to search for chariot rubbish at the bottom of the Red Sea. That would be putting the cart before the horse, right? First, you must establish without a doubt that God's chosen people were indeed enslaved by the Egyptians for four hundred years.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qPjrZWXca68

Well well well. Three cheers for the screwy chronology of the Bible. If you are a believer do not worry. I am absolutely SURE that someone in your particular denomination or even a more generalized representative of Christianity can whip up a good batch of biblical excuses in order to make one of the more cherished Bible myths appear to be true.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WsOF_o4BvJQ

This is very interesting, especially when you realize the way that the sheer numbers of people are broken down. There are also issues with the proofs of the ten plagues, in particular the last plague where God sent the Angel of Death to take all of the first-born...humans and livestock alike. What is the problem with these proofs? Well, the problem is there ISN'T any proof.
I have been in a few heated discussions about the proofs of the Israelites in Egypt, and one gentleman informed me that pharaohs ascending the throne in Egypt AFTER the Israelites are supposed to have exited were so shamed by the events surrounding the issue, particularly the last plague, that all records of such things happening were removed from Egyptian history...on the command of the ruling pharaoh at the time.
And of course the reason given for why this was done always comes around to be eventually labeled as a plot of the devil as he furiously tries to cook up ways to deceive people. That's right. The Exodus really did happen but big bad Satan is playing a trick on people and making the Bible look like it is lying by meticulously removing all evidence of the supposed Israelite bondage in Egypt.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EATSlwYFzTU

Listen very carefully boys and girls: there is NO archaeological evidence of a mass exodus by the Israelites. This does not stop scholars eager to prove the truth of the story and the Bible from pouncing on obscure references in the hieroglyphics and announcing them as the much needed, absolute proof of the truth. What the folks who do shit like this fail to tell you is that there are a couple different interpretations for the obscure reference and it is by no means whatsoever proof of anything.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yvu-leOT3y8

Hah! I love it when Christians try to use science to prove the Bible as truth. If this ridiculous story of the enslavement of God's people and their eventual exodus were anywhere even remotely near the truth there would be accurate accounts of such. How? Well, the Egyptians were steadfast in the recording of their own history and culture and traditions, and if the story in the Bible's book of Exodus were real you best believe the scribes would have recorded such.

If One Element is a Lie or a Myth...All of it is a Lie or a Myth

2013-06-23T02:20:00.000-07:00

Looking Into Biblical Claims Part I
Genesis:
Inconsistencies, Impossibilities and Unlikeliness of God's Act of Creation

The Bible is supposed to be THE absolute truth, THE final and unchangeable Word of God. For as unchangeable and truthful the entire Bible is supposed to be, it would logically follow that if so much as one iota of information in the Bible can be irrefutably shown to be a myth, exaggeration or a lie...ALL of it is a myth or exaggeration or lie.

Since this particular religious/holy text is loaded with all sorts of craziness and idiocy it would take a blog post about a b-zillion miles long to list everything. Considering that I decided to go through the Bible and break everything into separate blogs. Not every book in the Bible will have a specific blog because not every book in the Bible is interesting enough to have its own blog.

We will start with Genesis.

So many Creationists are adamant in their assertion that God created everything in the universe in just six days. While there are those believers who would try to account for the great age of our planet by manipulating the actual amount of time that passed for each day in the Creation, this effort still does not come even close to the amount of time necessary for life to form.

How did God create light before He created the sun? Where did the water come from?
This video is part of a series dedicated to addressing the Bible's claim of God creating everything. Here, we start with the creation of light.
Remember that in regards to light Genesis 1:3 says, "Then God said, Let there be light, and there was light."
http://www.youtube.com/watch?annotation_id=annotation_793729&feature=iv&src_vid=nA6w0R2g4VA&v=FQXsm203AsY

Here in this video a well meaning believer tries to explain what Genesis 1:3 really meant when noting that God created light. People will say the darnedest things in defense of God creating everything.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g72z53uyA10

What about the water that the Spirit of God was moving over in Genesis 1:2? Genesis 1:2 says, "The earth was formless and empty, and darkness covered the deep waters. And the Spirit of God was hovering over the surface of the waters."
http://www.youtube.com/watch?annotation_id=annotation_320167&feature=iv&src_vid=oSDXgT2QAf0&v=nA6w0R2g4VA

This video is very succinct in its explanation in regards to the formation of the sun and moon and the stars. In the beginning of the video there is a Creationist doing his damnedest to explain the sun and moon and stars and where light was coming from.
Genesis 1:16 says, "God made two great lights-the larger one to govern the day, and the smaller one to govern the night. He also made the stars."

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D-XBgTwMnIY

Here is a fine example of Christian hypocrisy. Many believers are loathe to take the Bible in anything OTHER than a literal interpretation. This is quite often an issue when it comes to the book of Leviticus where homophobic believers love to point out the verse that supposedly tags being gay or lesbian an abomination. Many scholars of language and culture have noted that the verse must be taken in context, that what the verses meant was that being gay or lesbian was not of the custom.
Of course, you would be hard pressed to find very many believers who would agree with the idea that such a verse must be considered in the context it was written. The Bible must be taken literally. If God says being gay and lesbian is evil and worthy of death, then it is. To try to suggest that the words should be taken in context is a deliberate pollution of God's Word and a trick of the devil.
The best part of this argument by many believers is that while they do not want to look at the verse in the Bible that condemns homosexuality and lesbianism in any way other than literal, these same assholes are very quick to say that the verses in regards to Creation should be taken in the context of which they were written. Hah! Talk yourselves out of that nonsense.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CCepYic5-eM

This video provides an excellent example of a believer trying to explain away the inconsistencies and impossibilities of the Genesis account of light, the stars, the sun, and the moon being created.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I5xv_zDE8xk

How did God create heaven?
The creation of heaven and the firmament is another problem for the creation story found in Genesis. Many people try to fix everything by saying what God actually created was the atmosphere of the earth, but this half-ass attempt to fix the holes in this story fall short.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W2x-XFI1Ue4&NR=1&feature=endscreen

How did God create the land on day three of Creation?
Here, the Bible fares no better as it tries to explain how the land came to be. Genesis 1:9 says, "And God said, Let the water under the sky be gathered to one place, and let dry ground appear. And it was so."
http://www.youtube.com/watch?annotation_id=annotation_461897&feature=iv&src_vid=W2x-XFI1Ue4&v=fJZ399tGJK4

How did God create plants before He created the sun?

I think it is hilarious that there are indeed scientists 'out there' who truly believe in the myth of God creating everything in the universe, especially the absurd notion that plants were created BEFORE the sun was supposedly created. Apparently, I am not the only one to see this obvious discrepancy in the biblical account of Creation.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Szc-2-YGJY

It is interesting that many believers of the Bible story of Creation balk at the idea of man evolving. Okay, fine. We will play that game. But, man is NOT the only organism that has evolved because plants have also evolved. Imagine that. So, even if we throw out the evolution of man we still have the evolution of plants. Then again, maybe that does not even matter since God created plants BEFORE the sun which makes no goddamn sense whatsoever. Enjoy.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=endscreen&v=VAVP3_99rWk&NR=1

How did God create the sun and the moon and the stars?
One of the most ridiculous verses in the Bible refers to the moon as 'giving' light. Of course, now we know FOR SURE that the moon does not give light, but rather reflects light. There is a huge difference between reflecting light and giving light. But never mind all that, and let us just go take a peek at how the sun came to be.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?annotation_id=annotation_174864&feature=iv&src_vid=VAVP3_99rWk&v=T6GTNbPxMso

This video discusses an opinion that light and the formation thereof is really about the formation of the eye. I know...totally retarded. You would think the people making the shit up would at least have the balls to make up a better story than that it was the first eye that was created, or the first eyes able to view contrast and color and all that.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?annotation_id=annotation_513881&feature=iv&src_vid=T6GTNbPxMso&v=sC4c6tI6DqQ

How did God create the birds and sea animals?
This is very interesting in how the sea creatures and the birds came to be. This video even touches a bit on how the context of the word 'whale' should be taken, and how some believers of the story of God making everything try to say that non-believers try to utilize this possible misinterpretation or contextual mishap to make the Bible appear to be wrong.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?annotation_id=annotation_918064&feature=iv&src_vid=sC4c6tI6DqQ&v=mtfFXj7s9bc

Here we are presented with the problems that are encountered with God's creation of the birds before the land animals. I remember when I was a kid that one of the private Christian schools I attended routinely instructed that the idea of birds being descendants of dinosaurs was a direct lie of Satan and an obvious plot by the devil to lead people away from God by using bad science and outright lies.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?annotation_id=annotation_578534&feature=iv&src_vid=mtfFXj7s9bc&v=syUhe76uY0U

How did God create the land animals and Man?
Creationists are probably the MOST adamant when it comes to denying that man evolved from anything. Man is supposed to have been poofed into existence by God who took some dirt/dust, formed it into the shape of a man, and then breathed into the dust and made it a living soul. How in the fuckey-doo can anyone believe something so absolutely retarded? How do these people think that God poofing dust into a man sounds any better or more credible than man evolving from apes?

It really is very unfortunate that those deluded by the Bible's story of God creating everything try so goddamn hard to make any bit of such a ridiculous story resemble anything even remotely similar to truth or possibility. What many of those who believe the Genesis account fail to understand is that all it really takes to debunk the entire lunatic story of Creation is to show one thing to be incorrect.

You show ONE thing to be false and you automatically prove everything to be false, and this is because of the Bible's own verses which claim itself to be the utter and final truth of God. Every word is supposed to be total truth, God's own words and power that stand forever and that do not fade like the flowers and grass do. Now, that sounds all nice and pretty if you want to view it as a mythological poem or mythological tradition, but we are talking about REALITY here.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N3MZJKOtWBc

So, what's the rub with the claimed truth of Genesis?
I find it to be both confusing and offensive to the intellect of humankind that the Bible myth of Creation continues to be heralded as THE truth as to how everything came to be. And while those who cling tenaciously to the story of Creation just LOVE to counter atheists and other skeptics with the questions, "Well, if God did not create everything who did?" and, "How can you look at the beautiful and intricate nature of everything around you and make the absurd claim that everything popped into existence with the Big Bang?" the fact remains that Creationists are in no better position to give a credible answer for where everything originated.

Perhaps one of the biggest tragedies stemming from believing the Bible as total and absolute truth is that some people stop asking questions about why we are and where we came from, instead focusing on myth. This myth that is very deeply believed by many around the globe not only leads to pointless religious arguments and wars, but it completely dampens that part of a human being's intellect that is naturally curious, and that naturally seeks the answers to important questions.

Those refusing to take anything in the Genesis account as truth are ALWAYS SEARCHING for the real answers that explain and define everything in existence. Those who DO believe the myth have STOPPED SEARCHING for truth and explanations, instead choosing to label those things they do not understand (or in some cases refuse to understand) as the mysteriousness with which their God persistently operates.

I think that perhaps some of those who fully believe in the Genesis account of how everything came to be mistakenly think that when ridiculed and razzed by those who do not believe such rubbish, that is the equivalent of the non-religious asserting that they have all the answers to the important questions. This is a mistake. Those who do not believe these Bible stories don't know how everything came to be, but they are sure as hell studying the world and the universe around us in an effort to find out. Some theories are off a tad while yet others are completely off. Some theories are held onto and others are discarded as they are disproved by scientific studies. But the point is that people are searching for the knowledge.

The idea that God created everything in the universe in six days is ludicrous and parallel to a genie poofing all existence upon command. To believe the Bible's version of how everything came to be a person absolutely MUST believe in magic. It does not matter how much believers assert that God does not have to follow His own laws of nature and the universe since He is the one who created them in the first place. That is a false argument because in order to break or breech any one of these laws God would absolutely have to use magic. There is NO way around this and NO explanation for this.The existence of these natural and universal laws are the strongest, most obvious rebuttal of God's Creation and the impossibility thereof.

When Satan Purposely Tricks People

2013-06-19T19:42:00.000-07:00

He Who Goes About Like A Hungry Lion Seeking To Destroy

I Peter 5:8 says, "Be sober and self-controlled. Be watchful. Your adversary the devil , walks around like a roaring lion, seeking those whom he may devour."

There is something about the guy in this video that screams creepy serial killer. It is in his expression/countenance and vocal inflection.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T6F5GLr8RN4

There is a level of anointing that a Christian needs to achieve before trying to oust the devil from their lown lives? Please. I bet you say shit like that so you can better convince members of your congregation that they desperately need you to lead them through that shadowy and evil valley you preachers are always talking about.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QUL523dPHAk

So, this stupid SOB thinks that Pokemon is just another destination stamp on the train ride to hell. Oh, and don't forget it is all a plot of the devil.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EAdVItTk5UA

Everything this guy says is a crock. What is the best way to keep the converts you have and then get more converts? Tell them a whole bunch of scary shit (using the Bible to back up such retarded claims) and be sure to emphasize how very much God hates stuff like that and that God punishes all those who do otherwise. Listen to what he says about some kind of alien plan to remove some people from the earth and then destroy the rest of humankind.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=85mV83p1KGE

Why in the hell are people so goddamn scared of this devil bullshit? If people believe in God they don't need to worry about the devil...it says that in your own Bible, you assholes. Of course the Bible is notorious for contradicting itself...which it does in regards to this subject.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QHasiDIhggU

Here, the devil trails Jesus as Jesus takes to the high desert. Why does our legless pal follow Jesus into the desert? Well, the Bible says that the devil tested/tempted Jesus for for forty days and forty nights. I am wondering how the devil tests Jesus for such a long period of time, but the Bible mentions only three of the tests? That is just a tad off, wouldn't you say?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w2a_L7gwuHQ

I wonder if this guy or others like him ever take a moment to listen to how ridiculous they sound? Soooo...it seems to be that Satan has an awful lot of power, to the point where he decieves the entire planet. Sure. And where has God been this entire time? Napping? Grocery shopping? Doing laundry? If God knew things would be so supposedly terrible with so many people dying WHY did He continue to let the devil do whatever he wanted to do?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aGrrbgTrC-o

I think this guy smoked a doobie before he went and made this hilariously absurd video.

Science is a Lie

2013-06-18T15:50:00.000-07:00

Participating in Scientific Studies or Believing Such is the Devil's Trick

Of course I had to open with this clip.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=igeXFM_su7Y

So, this guy's mental and spiritual dependence on his religion is so strong and he is so unwilling to let the fairy tale go that he would rather think everything he learned was a lie.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EyD1kuZ31bo

Ahhh, here we have Santa Clause's evil twin setting the science record straight as he reminds us all that geocentric and not heliocentric ideologies are the REAL truth.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D0YALn0Jei0

This guy tries to defend the idiocy of Creationism and fails miserably.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z6E3pTfBavw

I really liked this series of videos. When I was a kid I attended private Christian schools from 4th to the first half of 11th grade. The history books we had included verses to help build up and backup the absurd claims as to what TRUE history is. I remember learning all kinds of screwy shit. One of my favorites is when I was taught that the bubonic plague that ravaged Europe and wiped out about a third of the population was actually part of God's plan to eventually go to the Americas to establish the United States and bring Jesus to the natives. I know. Seriously stupid.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xz4lzRfT3j0

Hah! This is an excellent laugh!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JvtAmVjkUEQ

Christians really need to get a grip and stop being so goddamn afraid of education. This is just another stupid attempt of Christians to try to validate their claims against science. And when you inform them about various issues that are contrary to their own beliefs they immediately claim that what science is doing is injecting the supposed truth of God with a bunch of lies.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NtIFw9jrrgA

Hah! Listen to what Pat Robertson says here. He is basically saying that ignorant and stupid people are the individuals to perceive God's miracles because they have not been tainted by the wiles of reason and logic. Hummm...seems like a case of people being too stupid to really know any better.

The Impotent All-Powerful God

2013-06-18T13:04:00.000-07:00

The Power of God is a Ruse

Let us forget for the moment that Cindy Jacobs is lying out of her ass. Instead, consider why it is that everytime people pray and ask God for help or ask God for an answer that God never arrives in person to help, never answers in His own voice? God is always sending someone else to do his bidding and miracle working FOR Him. God doesn't answer your prayers Himself, but rather sends angels to do that for Him. This is completely inconsistent with the idea of an all-powerful God running the show.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1vwmZtK5iKQ

Let me get this straight...your little five year old daughter has the power to command a storm to stop? You would have me believe that God would allow a five year old little girl to have the power over a force of nature, but this same God will not allow people to overpower or stop a gunman before he goes into a school and murders children and teachers?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hp3QS8QRvFo

Here we go again with the supposed examples and manifestations of the power of God. God will show His power at an event such as this but God will not protect the four children who were killed by drowning by their mother because she believed they were possessed by the devil? And you wonder why people want nothing to do with your God, your Bible, and your religion?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BF_spnaHcrA

This is why God lets bad things happen to good people who do not deserve such bad things, right? It isn't that God cannot help or will not help, but rather it is God trying to teach the wicked of the world a lesson by murdering the innocent.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MK_hYsCkDH4&list=PLD9847B0EAF25E477

Soooo...God gives the power to part the sea but will not give the power to prevent religious fundamentalists from flying planes into buildings, will not give the power (or exercise the power Himself) to save the abused children of the world, and will not give the power (or exercise His power) to stop crime? Sounds a little screwy.

I Have Something You Don't Have...

2013-05-21T09:39:00.001-07:00

...And Because of This Something I Will Live Forever While You Die Forever

Do you remember when you were a kid? Do you remember the neighborhood brat taunting and teasing the other kids everytime he or she got something cool or interesting that the other kids did not have? How did the brat behave? They went around bragging how they had something everyone else didn't have, didn't they?
Religion is often times the same way and many a fanatic believer can be heard popping off how THEY are going to heaven and YOU aren't. Perhaps for some people that is part of the allure of religion, having something others do not have.
Take a look at this first video and you will see that you do not have to dress and look wealthy in order to think or act like you have something that others do not have. This gentleman's logic and reasoning is interesting when it comes to why he believes that there are believers who are really un-believers. According to this guy if believers do not believe that God kills people and hates some people then such people are really un-believers. But by far one of the best parts is where the guy says that the un-believers do not want to believe that Jesus was a black man when he roamed the earth. Good stuff.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qIityolHTKo

This video is the typical validation that many Christians use when refusing to shut the hell up because someone who they are pestering does not want to hear their crap any more.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aDrJAnqvRYE

The Lord wants His people to be a happy people and a joyful people? You could have fooled me with all of the bullshit hell fire and damnation crap that they persist to loose everywhere they go. How about the Branch Davidians or the People's Temple or the groups that advocate poor treatment of women, do they sound like joyful groups?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5XicDSCJ6Jc

This is pretty funny.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7kfVoib1UhU

The people at church are the best people to be around? Hah! Take them to church and introduce them to REAL people? Is that because the people outside of church are so fake? What you are selling to people is the absurd idea that everything you believe in is real while everything outside of what you believe is fake. If people want reality they have to convert or otherwise live a big meaningless life and spend forever in hell. So goddamn stupid.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P6_Egv9lXEc

Another video on the supposed love of God that is supposed to conquer everything...but it does not. While the guy in this video asks his questions think about the pictures of starving babies in Africa with the distended bellies, the bodies floating in the water from the tsunamis, pictures of the piles of dead from World War II, think about the tens of millions upon millions of people who died from the bubonic plague during the Dark Ages, think about 9/11 and all the times that some religious freak or other killed people in the name of some God. Let's remember those things before we even make a move toward thinking that God is love.
So many people try to convert the masses in the name of the love of God, jumping up and down and praising that this God is so full of love and they just want to share this love so that people will go to heaven like God wants all people to do.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2k7yfKb05gk

This man is trying to offer an apology for all of the assholes in religion when that is not something in his power. Let the people who say stupid things in the name of their God apologize for the shit they say. And this man is correct when he says that there are Christians who tear people down all the time. That is absolutely correct. Stop apologizing for things you cannot apologize for. At the same time try to remember that no matter how much you apologize there will still be people who do not want to worship and believe the same way you do...and that should be fine. I don't want what you have no matter how great you say it is.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zq5U1KvlMCk

Sometimes Christians have the greatest imaginations ever. How do you get in touch with Jesus? Getting in touch with the imaginary? NICE. The interesting thing is this belief and love that so many claim to have that others do not have is imaginary. So, in reality whatever they are claiming to have that others do not have is non-existent and in truth they have nothing.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CJ4AyfEWOR4

Bill O'Rilley is a douchebag. Eventually I will make a special blog just for Bill.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fFtpBsAnKvY

I have something you do not have. What I have is the love of God and the eternal life He gives me. I can prove this God and this love and this eternal life by the terrible things people do to each other and the terrible things that are going on in the world today. Religion is so fucking stupid.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v9LyJ7jO_Cc

This is straight up scary bullshit. Kill people who do not believe in God? SURE. That is what the pricks who flew planes into the trade center thought. Even those assholes validated their God instructing them to kill those who did not believe in the same manner.
So, Christians say that they have something others do not have, the LOVE of God...and then they go and dig up some information that says it is okay to kill people. If that is the case...I do not want anything having to do with religion. There is no real love in this God or His religion.
And all of this is supposed to be part of what is the reality of this great truth that Christians have and others do not have? I do not want what the Christians have.

Would Christianity Lie To You?: Part II

2013-05-18T22:01:00.001-07:00

What Else Might Christianity/Religion Lie To You About?

I really like this video. It is a bit longer than most of the other videos but it very carefully explains and gives examples of all the styles of arguments within religion and how they may be utilized to mislead people or misdirect an argument.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EXMKPvWqgYk&list=PL801CE7574DDBA098

Outstanding. Simply outstanding. I truly agree with what this man has to say about vicarious redemption being a crock.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YbOUBUVLvKw&list=PL801CE7574DDBA098

Jesus Christ. The things people get their children to believe. Nothing like raising your children to grow up to fear everything that is 'outside' of God. Pay attention to what raising a child like this does to the mind of that child once they grow up into an adult.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yl2_oHld_mw&list=PL801CE7574DDBA098

This wonderfully hilarious! I like the first part where the host says the letter looks like something the Unabomber sent him. Sometimes seeing the issues in a more humorous manner (such as in this video) helps people to calm down a bit and really see the crux of the issue as it lays.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ab0HCYjzSro

For how many years and decades and centuries have some people within humanity been trying to tell people that no matter how much the believing person may think so, no amount of belief can ever change what the truth is. On the other hand, truth CAN and DOES change belief. Remember that.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cpZRTTQl6nc&list=PL801CE7574DDBA098

The gentleman in this video speaks quite well, clearly stating the question/problem and then following immediately with the answer and clearly explaining that as well when necessary. I also think it is good that he notes that Christians include or leave out various evidence based on whether or not said evidence helps or hinders whatever the believer is trying to prove.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EIbSRmgXtW8

More historical evidence as to the basis and thoughts and purposes of man creating gods and worshiping symbols such as the sun.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4lGG1fgSkl4

I grew up in a heavily religious family. We grew up learning that the wicked God haters in the world made up lies like those presented in this video in order to try to take people away from God to instead be dragged down to hell for an eternity. Lovely. I am glad I grew a mind of my own fairly quickly.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7SblyuFUM9Q

Pay attention to the numbers presented here in this video...especially the number twelve and how it relates to months and days and years and even the twelve disciples of Jesus.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FqtFdmPWq2E

In another blog I posted a set of ten videos that were created by a gentleman who studied the origins of Christianity and similar religions. When I watched those videos I first thought, "Right...all from the Egyptians." But after I did more and more research and realized how many paths logically lead to what the creator of those videos was saying I really began to see a lot more of what he was describing. The number parallels are absolutely amazing.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4IjmQFfww1Y

After watching this video I did have to agree with the statement made by the narrator in the beginning...I found it DID tug on my heart strings. I could not help but to think about the huge wall of fear I fought to tear down, over many years, as I struggled to break away and completely free from the delusion and lie of religion.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wgj65-EfmoA&list=PL801CE7574DDBA098

This is amazingly accurate. I hope loads of people watch this and then forward it to many others who will watch it.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dRrn89sFFgg&list=PL801CE7574DDBA098

Like the narrator in this video I think back to how I sounded while I still believed in Christianity and felt it to be my duty to preach to whomever was around me. I shudder when I think of those times and the inconsideration I showed to those who knew better than I did. I am very glad I no longer believe the same way.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cq5TWTTPHF8&list=PL801CE7574DDBA098

Very quick and straight and to the point. Surely some of the people who read this will feel some kind of connection with what the lady is saying. Sometimes a conversation with a Christian becomes so encumbered by the stupid and pointless argument that simply saying one has 'faith' is a good enough answer to prove the truth of what is believed.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VtSUvcjRK3I&list=PL801CE7574DDBA098

I totally love the cartoon shorts produced by the makers of this video! Totally hilarious!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z1BzP1wr234&list=PL801CE7574DDBA098

Try showing this information to someone in Christianity and asked them how they explain the similarities and parallels to other much older, pagan religions. Hopefully you get further along than I did. Those believers I try to discuss this with become agitated quite quickly and usually end up saying I have been blinded by the devil and that they, the believer, will pray for me. Alrighty then.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SIMFz5ZKDVo&list=PL801CE7574DDBA098

Pay attention to the amount of time necessary to create all of the stars and constellations and such. i had several Christians inform me that since God was the one who created time in the first place the rules of time did not apply to Him. Why? Because God is in complete command of everything and in His infinite power could instantaneously create all the stars and everything in the universe.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JcQTCoY3wYQ&list=PL801CE7574DDBA098

This is wonderful and most excellent! Listen to how many of the commandments at first seem different but are actually the very same thing as another commandment...just worded slightly different.

Would Christianity Lie To You?

2013-05-18T16:35:00.000-07:00

What Might Some of These Lies Be?

Part I

There is so much more to religion and how it formed and who and what contributed to that formation. I would like to cover some of the inadequacies and misleadings of what is presented in religion as we know it, but before I do that I wanted to post this series of video documentaries on religion that I found on Youtube.

The man who put these next ten videos together makes some very good points. I think a lot of what he says has merit. I do not agree with everything he says, but I do think the points he raises are in fact valid and based on sound research. Of course there will be scholars that disagree as well. This is okay.
Part of studying and learning about ourselves is to learn as much as possible even when we do not want to and when we may think there is no possibility of there being another answer other than the ones people popularly cling to. Do not write off what he says too quickly but rather try to be open to the possibility of yet another explanation. Something I find to be of particular interest is the assertion made by our host of these videos that the crucifixion never happened. And I really mean that, it is interesting.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bDbPi_X2yUY

More discussion about the ancient Egyptians, Romans, and the cast of the column of Trajan.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=II1NLTcHw6I

This is very good information about some of the ideas of where many of the origins of religion emerge from Egyptian religions. There are some references to sex and the sacred nature of sex, but this information is not presented in an inappropriate manner.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bge_WCamLyQ

This is also interesting and it was not until I watched this video in particular that I realized I really don't think about much of the drug use within the formation and practice of religion in the history of man. Eventually I will do some research and create a blog for it. In the meantime, this video is pretty good. I think the cut-aways to the recordings of shows that try to inform people about the history of religion and then the host's comments on such are quite helpful. Really pay attention to what he says about the religion of Julius Ceasar.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PyyzWd9SRIA

Sacred sex and the ideas that there was/is/are great power to be found within the energy of reproduction and pleasure and the purposes/uses of such are very interesting. It is a lot more to study though and you really gotta be careful of how you type it into the Youtube search or you get some really, really bad stuff that pops up on your computer screen. So, I would recommend that if you wish to learn more about this particular subject you go to a bookstore like Borders or BarnesnNoble where you can find the info you are looking for without accidentally downloading programs detrimental to your computer.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OlYq5Lf9BJc

The possibilities of the origins of many facets of religion, Abrahamic religions in particular, is something that far more people ought to look into with greater patience and care. It does not mean that you have to change everything that you believe, but to at least be aware of and open to ALL the information out there, and not just the information that you want to hear simply because it backs up what you believe really is an important thing to do.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c4FZzfHXawg

I can only imagine how many hard-line Christians would rather see the world come to an end than hear what this man has to say about the formation of religion into what we all know it to be today. I hope at least some Christians have the patience and foresight to watch these videos. Like I said before, they do not have to change what they believe, but it would be great if these films can at least help a little bit in getting the stubborn minds of Christianity in realizing there are so very many ways to think and live and believe and contribute to mankind...and just because a person does not choose Christianity does not make that person bad or terrible. Christians really need to move away from such aberrant thinking.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Bph0OZKtI0

Here a very good question is raised: Where is the list of all the people within history that other people thought of or worshiped as gods?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dP5wWJqyVxQ

Really and truly think about the implications of what this man has to say on religion and how modern day individuals and groups have come to understand and know and think how religion was developed by man.

There is an amazing amount of information here and I found it necessary to watch these films several times over in order to ensure I was hitting the major points of what this guy was saying. i want to be sure the notes that I take will aid me in my own research. I hope at least some of the people watching this will do research. I think it is a terrible travesty to take the reigns that are attached to the horse of religion only to allow that horse to run away with you and end up serving you no postitive purpose whatsoever.
