James 5:5


You have lived on earth in luxury and self-indulgence. You have fattened yourselves in the day of slaughter. - James 5:5

Oddly enough, and quite frighteningly at that, Christians see this line from James, NOT as an example of the "responsibility" of stewarding the earth, as was charged by God to Adam and Eve, which we have decided can only be done by making ourselves as comfortable as possible.

No, Christians see it, like the Hebrews in the Old Testament saw it, as a call to slaughter anyone who supports gay marriage, or anything else "they" (the rabid Christians) say is "against the will of God!"


For the Christian, and even many Muslims, the only reason the world seems more and more like the days of Noah or Moses (which looks exactly like the Book of Revelations) with an increase in all of the biblical plagues and famines recorded, and with anyone warning of "a great flood" being ignored and slandered (by Christians, ironically enough) like Noah, is never EVER because of humanity's collective "self-indulgence." 

No, never!

Never mind that such "self indulgence" is leaching all of the resources out of the earth, like human vampires drinking the blood of Christ every week, which only convinces them that we can all destroy the planet because they will live forever - like a pack of vampires! - in heaven.

 And we do this,  by using ever greater technology to leach the planet of every resource it has, even though our technology for doing so is always lagging far behind what the bible condemns as the "love of money," but which Christians everywhere worship as "the profit motive."  Joel Olsteen, in other words, is our new Jesus.

And of course, to the Christian, the only person we should distrust is the "atheist" or the "liberal" who claims that maybe - just MAYBE! - we should consider an alternative to destroying our planet, which is only contributing so much war and suffering to humanity, rather than allow it all to simply 'fatten' the wealthiest wallets on the planet.  


Never mind that we have poisoned the oceans with pollution while emptying it of life by over fishing, and that we have been the direct cause of the greatest level of species extinction on the planet since the age of the dinosaurs. 

No! It's none of that. It's not us collectively that the line above is referring to.

It's gay marriage and anyone who supports it. 

Obviously.

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/,
