Christianity is just another in a long! line of mythical belief systems that has come down through history and woven itself into a particular culture or society during a particular time in our history. Like all myths that proceeded
Christianity there was the Fear and Guilt complexes invented. If you believe in this
god you will go to a nice place called heaven. If you were bad, well we know what awaits you!
The bible is FULL of inaccuracies, and kiddie stories of talking snakes (can your snake talk?) and talking donkeys, burning bushes, whales swallowing people and spitting them out days later, a young 12 or 13 year old girl getting pregnant by a Holy Ghost and a 30 year old man who can bring dead people back to life. Now because these stories were invented 2000 years ago Christians believe this stuff, mostly because their parents told them, and their grand parents told their parents and so on and so on, kind of like the Santa Claus story, however we know Santa is real. If a young 12 or 13 year old girl today told someone she was impregnated by a Ghost or Spirit and a young man telling people he can actually bring decomposing dead people back to life again, we would ALL be calling for the guys with the white coats now wouldn't we? YES!
I laugh when someone disputes the many silly stories in the bible that don't make one bit of sense. Notice the catholic priests never touch those stories in the bible in their sermons, the talking snake story, or walking on water trick, it's usually the 4 gospels they refer to. When someone disputes a story in the bible the
christian always gets mad but has an answer. NEVER FAILS! The
christian RE-WORDS, RE PHRASES, RE-EXPLAINS, RE-INTERNET and RE-HASHES that passage in question, changing first or last letters of words in the passages to make this
christian JIGSAW PUZZLE PIECE FIT! and says "there that's what it really means" HUH!
If
God REALLY inspired men to write a book about him, wouldn't you believe that a
God would make the BIBLE P-E-R-F-E-C-T-L-Y C-R-Y-S-T-A-L C-L-E-A-R, that after 2000 years we wouldn't have to refer to theologens to explain what it all means!! and each theologen you talk has a different answer to the question. I hate this "we are right and everyone else is wrong" religion BS. I opted out of organized religion 15 years ago and I am much better person without it. I treat everyone equally whatever their belief or color or country of origin. Not too many Christians can say that..........and shame on them.
Bible states when
Jesus was on the cross he promised one of the thieves by
the end of the day he would be with
Jesus in paradise........check it out. NEVER HAPPENED! Christians always have explanations for that, and every
christian has a different explanation. (my head is spinning!) Another passage
Jesus promised some of the 12 apostles he would return while they were still alive within their generation......NEVER HAPPENED! What's going on
Jesus? Elvis has never returned and neither will a man named
Jesus. Ex-catholic 60 years old. I know right from wrong, and fact from fiction. The bible sure is a load of fiction.
