Religion was made to divide

AND CONQUER!


Remember the Tower of Babel fable?

I can compare religion to the Tower. Take Islam for example. They are readily trying to out breed everyone. They are building their tower. But what happens when the number of humans on this world becomes too great? MASS EXTINCTION! There will be a huge die off and the tower will fall. The common language will be lost as mankind is tossed back into the stone age and the few who do survive will form nations and their own languages.

Darwin's principles of Evolution can be applied to society. Like you cannot compare a Manchurian Chinese to a Cantonese Chinese comparing a person from the deep South in America to a person from the west Coast is like trying to compare a Granny Smith Apple to a Red Delicious. They are apples but they are not the same.

It is funny but Islam does not see their own beliefs are the key to their own destruction and that of all mankind!

Bunch of self indulgent hedonists! They got their heads stuck too deep into heaven's azz!

Religion was made to divide


How do you figure?

Christian teaches -
- Love EVERYONE
- treat EVERYONE with respect
- help EVERYONE
- EVERYONE will be judged according to their lives
- We are to treat EVERYONE with respect, regardless of their beliefs, race, sex, or anything of such.

So how exactly does it divide?

But even among Christians there is a lot of in fighting over ideals like obeying the ten commandments or who to pray or what to pray about. Then there are all the other religions. Suddenly their are right and you are wrong.

Religion is a way of trying to comprehend the unseen and cope with it. Unfortunately when blind faith is involved things begin to get real messy.

If you ever seen the cartoon Squidbillys could you imagine someone like Early Cullier trying to tell you how to live a proper Christian life. He does go to church BUT unless you are familiar with the Character you would not get this. Let us just say he is into Meth, Drinking, criminal activity for fun, narcissism, grifting, and the list goes on. Then he is sitting in a church trying to be a "good Christian" while Jesus is looking.

A classic Wolf among the fold! And people have to put up with him...

People like that I want to beat into place or kill them off so they do not burden our lives with their dysfunction but who am I to judge, right?

There in lies some of the fruit of the opening statement.

That's not Christianity. Christianity holds that if a person doesn't accept Jesus as the Son of God who died to pay for their sins there can be no hope for salvation.

So your claims here are no consistent with what you preach.

Christianity preaches hatred toward all who refuse to believe that Jesus was the Son of God. Christianity is a hateful divisive religion.

The make-pretend "Designer Christianity" that you preach has absolutely nothing at all to do with the actual dogma upon which this religion is based.

This dogma teaches that no "non-believer" can be a righteous person. It preaches hatred and intolerance toward "non-believers". It's in the dogma. If you reject that, then you reject the dogma.

You make up your own "Christ" because even you can't stand the real one.

There is no hate involved. And yes ALL will be judged according to their lives and the choices they chose. That would include if you choose to believe or choose not to.

I think it was created to control first and then maybe divide after.

A quote from the Principles of Rule,

"keep the population divided among themselves to keep them from unifying against you!"

Christianity does this in no way. It makes people united. Again, it teaches for us to love EVERYONE regardless of everything, beliefs, financial status, sex, ect. We are to love and help EVERYONE.

Funny how that "Thou shalt not kill" commandment goes by the wayside in Northern Ireland between Catholics and Protestants who supposedly worship the same God and know about the same 10 Commandments.

Your response here has absolutely nothing to do with the fact that what you are preaching does not even remotely match up with the Dogma that you support.

What you are "supposed" to do is totally irrelevant. You said: "- EVERYONE will be judged according to their lives"

But that's a false representation of the Christian religion.


John.3:18 He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.


The dogma that you claim to be supporting does not support you!

If you want to believe in a god who is truly just and judges people solely according to the lives they live, then you're worshiping the wrong mythology. You should be placing your faith in Eastern Mysticism, because it teaches more along the lines of what you'd apparently LIKE to be true.

Eastern Mysticism suggests that god judges everyone automatically via a concept of "Karma". It's "Perfect". It's automatic, and infallible. It's built-in to the very essence of our being.

There's no need for a jealous male-chauvinistic godhead who is appeased by blood sacrifices to individually keep track of everyone and judge them like humans do in a court of law. Karma takes care of everything automatically. It's obviously a far superior system. And surely our Creator would not be 'inferior' to what mere mortal men can imagine. Therefore if we truly want to believe that our creator is all-wise we should choose the wisest of all spiritual philosophies to reflect what God might actually be like.

That Hebrew mythology just uses Jesus as a scape-goat to support the very ignorance and bigotry that Jesus himself obviously rejected.

In order to be a "True Christian" (according to John's quote above) you MUST believe that Jesus was the Only Begotten Son of Yahweh (i.e. the Old Testament God). And with that comes all the bigotry, religious intolerance, male-chauvinism, homophobia, etc, etc, etc,.

The authors of the New Testament just use Jesus as a dead marionette doll to prop-up and give support to the very dogma that Jesus himself rejected. It's despicable.

To worship the authors of the New Testament is to worship the enemies of Jesus.

The dogma that you worship simply doesn't agree with the values that you preach. What you are preaching is far more in line with Eastern Mysticism, not Christianity.

You need to look into Eastern Mysticism more deeply, it sounds like this is the philosophy that you truly support, not the Old Hebrew mythology that you don't even appear to agree with in principle.

Jesus rejected nothing. He specifically said "think not that i came to change the law, but to fulfil" He didn't reject the old testament, he fulfilled it and completed it's prophecies.

What i say is straight from Christianity, that is why i use verses to back what i'm saying.

I think religion was made to cover a lot of mathematics like divide, multiply, add and subtract. Science is just better at handling the formulas. One might even go as far to say that religion isn't an exact science.

Lets see. You take the square root of God; Factor in Satan; Minus the void because nature abhors a vacuum. Then you add man minus one bone to get Eve. Then you multiply man by adding Eve back into the equation. Then you take two aspirins and call me in the morning.laugh
