Adulterers & Witches: Salvation by Damantion

Centuries ago, when people with 'mental problems' were accused of being "witches" and burned at the stake for being different, the worst and by far the most prevalent "mental problem" in society at that time was one suffered by all those who labeled anyone who was "different" as a "witch."

That kind of mental problem was not seen as a mental problem at all, of course, but as a necessary "belief" that every God-fearing person was expected to make in order for them to be moral.  Such a "belief" was so ubiquitous, in fact, that it never occurred to the vast majority who suffered from it that it was they -  since their own religion made it a moral, and sometimes even a legal, requirement to demonize anyone who disagreed with the majorities views about God, religion, or the hereafter - who were actually the one's suffering from the truly dangerous and often homicidal 'mental problem.'

Despite the hubris that technology inflicts upon our perspective of the past, this same "mental problem" still leads countless numbers of "Christians" to demonize anyone and everyone who dares to live their life outside of the moral boundaries that they, out of as much fear of hell as lust for heaven, seek with God like infallibility to impose over all of society.  

That such people proudly chose to worship only their "belief" about God, rather than humbly consider the evidence that their "God" has stuffed into every atom of the universe to the contrary, is perhaps the greatest act of self deception seen since a serpent is said to have famously fooled humanity's incestuous progenitors in a garden not long after time began.  Yet it is exactly this heedless devotion and blind worship of  the "god" of one's own "beliefs" that has always lead humans to conclude that the act of stoning a woman to death in the street is somehow always a far more moral and God like action than that she should be allowed to get away with adultery.

It is a wildly curious thing indeed that the authors of this bible story never thought to mention the whereabouts of the felonious husband in all of this.  But it would be no stretch of the imagination to surmise that he was the one holding the biggest stones of all. In fact,when Jesus said, "He who is without sin cast the first stone," what he probably meant was "Any of you who have not likewise already committed adultery with Mary Magdalene - and probably numerous times! - go ahead and start chucking!"

Yet this is the curious way in which men who see themselves as saints have always blamed women for their sins, from St. Augustine who had learned from frequenting the many brothels of Rome that sex was a  shameful and degrading activity, to ISIS and the Taliban forcing women to walk around under a potato sack. Hence the saint is anyone who is enlightened enough about women and sex to understand just how disgusting God had always intended both of them to truly be.           

Of course, the witch and the adulterer are but two sides of the same sin, as far as the Christian is concerned, since the infallibility of their own God-like view of all things moral requires them to declare loudly and proudly how better the world would be if everyone simply chose to stop living and thinking for themselves, and instead become perfect like Eichmann's for their Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

That way, the only people who would be bludgeoned to death for God would be the one's Jesus had intended  his holy Inquisitions to destroy in the first place.   And every good Christian knows that.

Why Christianity is More Unnatural Than Homosexuality

I grew up in a family that is about as homophobic as Phil Robertson and the Westboro Baptists, only they're not quite as boisterous about it; at least not in public anyway. They have also conveniently convinced themselves  that their homophobia is really just their unique Christian ability to "hate the sin, but love the sinner" (even though these very same Christians adamantly refuse to accept that people can "hate Christianity, but love the Christian").  The sexual superiority complex necessarily relied on by such Christians is, of course, blanketed beneath the lambs wool of the Christian humility of serving "God." They interpret their fear of those who are different, in other words, as simply proof of their intimate knowledge and love of God. And the only thing such Christians are more sure about than that their own personal version of "God" exists, is that such a "God" would never want people to be homosexual - no matter how ma

Christianity: An Addiction of Violence Masquerading as Love: Part II

"But God by nature must love Himself supremely, above all else." Fr. Emmet Carter   This is part  two of a look at an article written about the "restorative and medicinal" properties of punishment, as espoused by Fr. Emmett Carter (https://catholicexchange.com/gods-punishment-is-just-restorative-and-medicinal/).  Ideas of this sort in Christianity go back to St. Augustine and Thomas Aquinas - two saints who saw the suffering of Christ as sure fire evidence that God needed humans to suffer to balance the cosmic scales of his love for us. Sure, he could've come up with a better game, or made better humans, but its apparently the suffering he really enjoys seeing. Carter's essay raises countless questions, especially about the true nature of God's blood lust, but lets stick to just four simpler ones. The first question deals with the idea of "free will." According to Christians, God designed us with the ability to freely choose to obey or offend h

Christianity: An Addiction of Violence Masquerading as Love: Part I

If the Holy Bible proves anything at all, it proves that the Christian God has a blood-lust like no other God in history. From Abraham to Jesus to the end times to eternal hell, the Christian God loves suffering even more than, or at least as much as, said God loves Himself. And if everything from the genocides in the Old Testament and God killing everyone on the planet with a flood, to Jesus being tortured and murdered (rather than the devil, who is the guilty one) and the fiery end of the world followed by the never ending fires of hell, are not enough to convince you that Christianity is really an addiction to violence masquerading as "love," just consider the psychotic rantings of a Catholic priest trying to convince his faithful flock that murder and mutilation - which he calls "punishment" -  are proof of just how much his "God" is pure love.  In an article published on https://catholicexchange.com/gods-punishment-is-just-restorative-and-medicinal/,
