Christianity teaches us to love "our father who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name,.."

This "father figure" is the god who created us, so we are taught to "believe," who is as infinitely greater to us as we are to a spermatozoa.
  
A newborn infant, on the other hand, is likewise much greater than the spermatozoa from whence it, when combined with female gametes or "ova."

And the intelligence of the adult is on average of a much higher order than that of the newborn infant, in the same way that the intelligence that is said to have given birth to humanity is believed to be on a much higher order of intelligence than that of even the smartest human beings throughout history. 

Yet Christianity wishes for humanity to believe nevertheless that it can, and indeed that it must strive more than anything else, to use its own intelligence to 'infallibly' understand  that greater intelligence we call "God," even though this is like a colony of new born infants choosing to simply "believe" that they can infallibly understand the "greater intelligence" - who is "our father who art in the living room, watching football" - who created them.

And hell is the belief that if any of those new born infants fail to try to understand that intelligence, even though the very "bible" that intelligence wrote as an instruction manual assures them they will always fail at the attempt, no matter what degree of intelligence or effort the apply to it, the "father who art in the living room watching football" not only has the right to throw those babies into the furnace in his basement, but deserves to be loved more than anything else, by all those who strive "in fear and trembling" as it says in Philippians, to avoid the same fate. 

My only question is, where's the popcorn?

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/,
