the grandest lie of all

It is impossible to have an honest conversation about "truth" with people who have a religious obligation to lie to themselves about their "god."

This is because they are convinced on a deeply emotional level that the greatest "truth" of all is the one held not only without any evidence, but despite it.

This belief then inverts all moral ideas of "truth" by elevating their mere "beliefs" to the level of ultimate "truth" while demoting any and all other attempts to find actual truth as necessarily being a lie.

And it is with this inverted system of "beliefs," one that necessarily requires people to accept a sacred time honored lie as the ultimate "truth," that the "believer" fashions their morality and crucifies all those who fail to kneel before it.

And for no other reason than that the "believer" cannot believe they could ever be wrong.

We see a perfect example of this in the rationale for seeing Africans as subhuman offered by the French social philosopher who had such a profound influence on America's founding fathers, Montesquieu, when he quipped in 1748:

 "It is impossible for us to suppose these creatures to be men, because, allowing them to be men, a suspicion would follow that we ourselves are not Christian."

Here, Montesquieu uses the religion of racism to support his religion of Christianity, while at the same time relying on his Christian religion to bolster his religion of racism, even though both religions are simply sacred time honored "beliefs" that are as equal in their duplicity as they are in their rejection of actual truth.

And when you consider how much "blood" Christians drink every Sunday, it is no wonder that the light of such truth always leads them to react in the very same way a vampire reacts when exposed to sunlight.

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/,
