The Bible Is an Outdated Relic of bullshit

[themickey]

I was raised by strict very regular church going christian parents who constantly fought like cats and dogs.
My father was violent and had a huge short temper.
My older christian brother died early from cancer.
My other christian brother divorced, never remarried, .
While I was a christian the pastor fucked my then wife and the two families divorced. (5 kids involved).
When I finally pulled the pin on going to church it was like a huge weight lifted off my shoulders.
Never going back to that nightmare.

Recently we have new neighbours who are christian and them getting too familiar friendly including the recent obligatory invite to attend to one of their church events, all I see is deja vu bullshit, I won't have a bar of it.
The christian church brainwashing scam is relentless, never ends.

Yesterday a jehovah witness freak and his wife came knocking, tried out his bs on me when I was working in my garage, I sent him packing in 60 seconds.
Every year , sometimes twice a year the jws try their stupid conversion doorknocking, this has been going on for as long as I can remember, many many years and they never give up.

Happened to me plenty times also. I have nothing against religion BUT I don't think it should be pushed upon people like the JW do. Sure, other religions want new members also but as far as I know, JW are the only religion that goes door to door like salesman. They usually want to hold hands and say a prayer. I just tell them I'm a lifelong Catholic so not interested.
Their sales pitch? They're the only religion with a "prophet". SO, the Catholic Church is the only religion with a Pope. What does that have to do with anything?
They don't hang around me long either.

I was raised by strict very regular church going christian parents who constantly fought like cats and dogs.

Hell would freeze over before my parents would even raise their voice to one another.
IMO, your past (parents/pastor) greatly affected your view of religion/Christianity.
My parents affected my view in the opposite way.

Ukraine Is Now 'Holy War,' Russian Church Declares

Putin's Top Priest Says Nuclear Weapons Are 'Divine Providence'
By Brendan Cole Senior News Reporter
The Russian Orthodox Church has approved a document that deems President Vladimir Putin's full-scale invasion of Ukraine a "Holy War."

The declaration came during a congress of the World Russian People's Council in which religious, political and cultural figures in the country met at the site of Moscow's Cathedral of Christ the Savior, a focal point for the Orthodox faith in Russia.

The head of the Russian Orthodox Church, Patriarch Kirill, also heads the council and is an ally of Putin. He has been criticized for providing a religious justification for the war and failing to unequivocally condemn the killing of people in Ukraine.

In February 2022, Patriarch Kirill said that Ukraine and Belarus were part of "Russian lands" and called the Ukrainians who were defending themselves against Russian aggression as "forces of evil," pitching the war as a battle for the future of Christianity.

"From a spiritual and moral point of view, the special military operation is a Holy War, in which Russia and its people, are defending the single spiritual space of Holy Russia," the document released on Wednesday said under the heading "special military operation," which is the official Kremlin term for the invasion.

It went on to claim that the war had the goal of "protecting the world from the onslaught of globalism and the victory of the West, which has fallen into Satanism."

Following the war, "the entire territory of modern Ukraine should enter the zone of Russia's exclusive influence," it said.

"The possibility of the existence of a Russophobic political regime hostile to Russia and its people on this territory, as well as a political regime controlled from an external center hostile to Russia, should be completely excluded," it added.

Orthodox church representatives globally, such as the U.S.-based Orthodox Public Affairs Committee (OPAC), have condemned the war. After the start of Putin's invasion on February 24, 2022, the Ukrainian Orthodox Church (UOC) cut ties with the Russian Orthodox Church.

This month, the head of the Ukrainian Greek Catholic Church, Sviatoslav Shevchuk, told Newsweek that where Russia has arrived in Ukraine, "they exterminate all other religions besides the well-controlled and weaponized Russian Orthodox Church."

"For Russian occupiers, the weaponization of religion is something new, is a neologism," Shevchuk said. "It is why the Ukrainian government and Ukraine's religious society is forced to find different ways to protect ourselves from the weaponization of religion."

The church he heads has full communion with the Vatican and is the second largest in the Catholic faith after the Latin Church. He visited Washington, D.C., this month to describe to U.S. lawmakers, who are weighing the provision of further aid to Kyiv, the extent of destruction of religious buildings caused by the war.

The Kyiv-based Institute for Religious Freedom said in February 2023 that the Russian military had destroyed, damaged or looted at least 494 religious buildings, with the figure estimated to be far higher today.

"That is also a challenge for my church, not to become militant," Shevchuk said, adding that the aim is "not to fall to the same temptation the Russian Orthodox Church fell into and become an instrument of hatred."

A window into the bullshit:

John 1:1 - In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2 Timothy 3:16-17 - All Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness, that the man of God may be complete, equipped for every good work.

John 8:42
Jesus said to them, “If God were your Father, you would love me, for I have come here from God. I have not come on my own; God sent me. 43 Why is my language not clear to you? Because you are unable to hear what I say. 44 You belong to your father, the devil, and you want to carry out your father’s desires. He was a murderer from the beginning, not holding to the truth, for there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks his native language, for he is a liar and the father of lies. 45 Yet because I tell the truth, you do not believe me! 46 Can any of you prove me guilty of sin? If I am telling the truth, why don’t you believe me? 47 Whoever belongs to God hears what God says. The reason you do not hear is that you do not belong to God.”

Christianity: exclusiveness, some people belong to God, some people belong to Satan.
That's quite some marvelous (bullshit) creation.

 

[themickey]

And of course, the Jews believe christians are frauds and christians believe Jews have lost their way.
(Except for bombing Palestinians, christians are in agreement).

Christians don't say some people "belong to Satan".
People DECIDE who they want to follow.
We're all born innocent until WE decide what path me choose in life.
Hopefully Christianity helps us choose the better path.
Where does it say Christians select who belongs to Satan/God?

Except for bombing Palestinians, christians are in agreement

Terrible what's going on in Palestine.
Jews lose 1,200 people so that gives them the right to slaughter tens of thousands of Palestinians? NO, NO, NO!
I do not approve and I don't think most Christians approve.

The message of the bible is that the way to Salvation is to follow scripture which is pure.
Scripture is written by lying deluded humans but somehow miraculously the scripture remains intact pure.
Lying deluded Humans by faith are meant to follow the instructions from other lying deluded humans who interpret the pure scriptures.

You may ask: "How do I know from the thousands of lying deluded religions that I'm going to be following the right correct pure religion?"
Answer: "By faith!"

"Hmmmm, that's a big stretch".
Bible Gateway Hebrews 11
And without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him.

"But there are millions of deluded people following all sorts of deluded religions"

"Never mind that, you are extra special and I'll set you on the right track".
"Your (deluded) faith will set you free".

"And what happens if I don't follow the fear mongering message from deluded humans of the bible?"
"Whelp you get fried to a sizzle by Me in eternity".
"Do I get fries with that?"

Jewish mentality: Punishment if you don't follow our instructions.
We label you antisemetic if you dare question our beliefs and behavior.
