Hell fire and damnation? Christian irrationality. Fifty percent of all Americans believe that the world was created within the past ten thousand years. HUH!
Like, duh, what is it with these idiots. Are we really a nation of totally brainless clods? Well yea. Of course we are.
Hell fire and damnation. Consider that this Christian Creator – this all wise, all knowing, eternal being created humanity knowing that he would be burning them for eternity in non-consuming fire.
Yea, think about it. This all knowing know it all who supposedly whipped out all but one family among all those who descended from Adam and Eve; this all knowing creator who knew from the beginning that he would whip out all these people; this wonder of generosity and compassion; this deity; he created life knowing he would kill it in a fit of rage at its indiscretions.
Then, having washed away his first effort, he gets bored and creates this fireplace in the bowels of the earth, and those who came from Noah, from the one family worthy of saving, these he is to dump into that fireplace where they shall burn forever.
Man you got to really appreciate a people who worship such a sadistic being. Ya got to believe it, Pope Benedict XVI said Hell is a place where sinners really do burn in an everlasting fire, and not just a religious symbol designed to galvanize the faithful, has said.
The Pope knows! Right? The Pope speaks for this all wise and all knowing deity who created life, and rules, just so he could enjoy a fire made from their souls. There is no escaping it. You were doomed to roast before you were born.
This idea of some salvation? Why that is a reprieve from the sentence handed down before there were stars in the sky, or even a sky. That is, after all, what “All-Knowing” means. You know it all, long before it happens, or could even have the possibility of happening.
Can anybody escape? “Let he who is without sin cast the first stone.” And everyone dropped the stones they carried. Everyone! No a stone was cast; nor could one be cast. It is a game, a joke, a deeply funny perverse joke launched by a deeply perverted and sadistic deity.
If we are all sinners, we all get to burn. And that was known from the very moments before creation. It really does not matter. You will, if you are following a Christian deity, burn-baby-burn.
Of course, on this and other subjects, Islam is not much better. There one wander through rings like those of Dante described. But there is no escape, that same all-wise, all-knowing deity has doomed you before the first instant, before the first utterance, of creation.
Of course, it really does not matter, given that life is a cosmic setup, it really does not matter if we came about ten thousand years ago, with evidence to the contrary just part of the grand deception; or if we emerged and evolved over billions of years.
In either event, that which was responsible decided we would be the subject of eternal torture. If there was an escape, if there was another alternative, the deity would not be all-knowing. There would be no need for the games, or for the illusion of choice.
If the deity is ignorant of the outcome for even one person, then it follows that it is not all-knowing. If it is not all-knowing, how can it be the supreme deity?
Of course, as the Khazar ruler realized, Christian and Islamic deities are subordinates to the true deity, the Judaic deity; thus he he and his people accepted Judaic teachings as their faith.
What do the Judaic teaching hold on the subject? Only that mankind was designed to need some final touches. That mankind would enter, Gehenna, the place of purification where all imperfections associated with the physical world shall be burnt away in purification for the next world.
No torment, little more than a bath of magic fire designed to cleanse a soul of earthly contaminants. In reality, not much more than a divine ritual bath.
After all, The Judaic deity is all-knowing, and thus knows that any visitor, no matter their personal fastidiousness, is likely to pick up a little outside mud. Do not Japanese, leave their shoes at the door?

What value Christian Prophecy?
_____________________________________________________
Date Line April 23, 2007
Democracy? Is it something an evangelical should promote? There is a mystic voice speaking in western culture; it is not always listened to, sometimes it is denied, but always it remains.
What is that voice? It is the voice of religious belief and doctrine. It is also the voice of Christian hypocrisy, ignorance and stupidity.
The sole thing which can be relied upon? Evangelical Christians will cause the downfall of America and western civilization.
I could make that case; but history makes it so much better.
It is not necessary to recount all the superstitious beliefs and actions which go contrary to the teachings Christians attribute to Jesus; it is sufficient to ask that one actually demonstrate the three elements evidencing a contact with the Sprit of G-d ... these being Wisdom, Knowledge and Understanding.
Proverbs 2:6 states, “For the Lord giveth wisdom, out of his mouth cometh knowledge and discernment.” (Judaic Masoretic text) It is an interesting distinction, “Understanding” verses “Discernment.”
Translations render synonymous “the cognitive condition of someone who understands” and “The act or process of exhibiting keen insight and good judgment. Keenness of insight and judgment.”
What is this last element of the spirit? Surely none have a problem with knowledge, or even wisdom, but how to discern understanding?
Understanding is that “AH-HA!” moment when the concept and reality are internalized. We know, even if we cannot actually express that knowledge in words.
Discernment! Discernment is seeing that something is there to know. It is seeing beyond the consensus of small minds and the repetition of the ignorant as shown through their reliance on meaningless ritual.
Worse, they assert promises based on prophecy; and yet fail to see the fulfilment, or the threat. In the case of The Book of Revelation, the promise if a thousand year kingdom under Christ.
A thousand years? Hum? If we said the Reformation began in earnest (in 1517) with Martin Luther, the rule of the Vicar of Christ (the Pope) could be said to have begun (in 517) a thousand years earlier.
If we hold the beginning to be (in 413) with the Council of Ephesus, or the Council of Chalcedon (in 451), than we must look ahead a thousand years (1413-1451) for the first signs of the demise of Christ’s Kingdom, or Rule.
In 1413, the Pope chartered The University of St Andrews, the oldest University in Scotland, and set the stage for the spread of a Protestant Reformation in Britain. Symbolically, to mark the end of an era begun with a call to Judgment, in 1451, Roger van der Weyden paints his Last Judgement.
Ah if symbolic efforts were sufficient; but it would be fifty years to the birth of Henry VIII who brought an end to Papist England.
But it was most certainly Martin Luther who fulfilled the prophecy of Revelation. Luther, per his writings, was an anti-Semite who was also anti-Judaic; thus he was an anti-Christ. Obviously; for was not Jesus both Semitic and Judaic, and the fulfillment of Judaic Scripture?
Martin Luther asserted that Jews' homes should be destroyed, their synagogues and schools burned, money confiscated, and rights and liberties curtailed.
All who seek to place themselves above Jews are in fact subordinating Jesus; thus all his Philosophical heirs (known today as Protestants or Evangelicals) are, based upon The Book of Revelation, anti-Christ.
Now that is a shocking assertion to many, and a clear “ah-ha” to many others. But here is another: Those who see the reign of Christ as being in the future, and who pray for it to begin, are seeking the beginning of a Kingdom under a physical king.
Those who proclaim the belief the prophecy lies in the future, rather it having been fulfilled and document by past history, are asserting that they are opposed to Democracy and the democratic process.
We cannot have an all powerful king, and meaningful Parliament as well. We cannot have a King and President at all; by the very nature of their assertion of literal and controlling scriptural content, those people (you know them) are opposed to American and must, therefore, engineer its destruction.

No matter, come 2008, you're screwed.

I understand they want someone to takeover as overseer of the Iraq - Afghanistan conflicts. OK, since nobody has actually been in charge, “takeover” is the wrong term.
Still – I would like the job.
The first thing I would do, as policy, is point out that “you cannot shoot fish in a barrel, if you are in the barrel.” So we need to pull the troops out and not extend their tours.
Let Iraqis and Afghanistani determine who controls their countries and sets their policies toward the west.
We can allow them to establish their leadership, their meeting places, their governmental structure. Once they have, if the model is based upon al-Qaeda, or any terrorist model, we simply carpet bomb the capital while their government is in session.
If those forces are antagonistic to us, we kill them – one shot with all the shock and awe that comes from having rockets, airplanes and an arsenal of bombs capable of erasing geography.
The one thing we should not be doing, which the Bushites love to call “support for the troops”, is have our ground forces standing between opposing domestic forces in a foreign land.
What rational justification is there for our military being worn down acting like police in a nation where not only don’t they know any of the various languages, they don’t know the customs of religious practices?
Of course, knowledge of the religious practices is very important. As we all know, the two dominant sects in Iraq target each other on Holy Days. Neither side evidences any respect for the Islamic faith.
The Sunni are apparently the most egregious violators and so are the equivalent of our Right-wing evangelical Christians.
You know them – they are the people who gave us Bush and who McCain is working so hard to get into his camp.
You know them – they are the people who support family values by practicing adultery and having multiple divorces. This is, of course, consistent with their opposition to loving couples getting married. It is, of course, consistent with their opposition to loving couples adopting homeless, parentless, children.
It is very important that we keep in mind that this is a Right-wing Christian nation, we are a puritanical Christian nation.
Which reminds me: How of you know that the Puritans practiced pre-marital “Bundling”? HUH! OK. “Bundling” was a practice whereby two people who were considering marriage would share the same bed – they would sleep together – before they made the final decision to actually marry.
The idea was basic, they should know their partners sleeping habits. The practice involved a “bundling board” which divided the bed and supposedly kept the couple from engaging in anything “intimate.”
However, many socialists have studied Puritan birth and marriage records – and for some reason Puritan gestation periods appear to be six months or less from the date of marriage.
Hypocritical behavior has always been a Right-wing indulgence. It is the paramount characteristic of the Right-wing – it is also a real life example of the behavior specifically denounced by Jesus.
If you don’t recall Jesus’ definition of hypocrite – it was the people who go to church and make a big show of their religious fervor, who he contrasted with the proper behavior for his followers: have a closet (room) in your house where you go to pray, and keep your communing with the Lord private and away from the eyes or ears of others.
Face it – there isn’t a Christian in the nation who will get salvation; not if they make it a point to run to Church and show off their ‘faith.”
And this is a Christian nation – so don’t be surprised if you’re screwed following the 2008 election.
