Why Jesus Christ is Keyser Söze

That the very first sin described in the Bible was prompted by a childlike curiosity  to "gain knowledge" should have been enough to prompt any half curious reader of the Bible to slam shut the book immediately.

But it never does.

And it never does, because the very same childlike curiosity that is infamous for having killed an inestimable number of cats in the world, not only lead Adam & Eve to loose their privileged access to Eden, but is what likewise drives the Christian ever on in an obsessive, and sometimes even fanatical, quest to find and to "know" their God.

The very same "sin" of childlike curiosity that lead the "original sinners" to lose heaven on earth, in other words, is precisely the same means, and according to the book of Matthew is indeed apparently the only means, by which the Christian can enter the kingdom of heaven.

For as it says in Matthew:

"Truly I tell you, unless you change and become like little children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven."

And what is a child if not insanely curious about their world, and even their own father? And what's more, what child would not leap at the opportunity to become more like their papa? 

But when Adam & Eve sought to do just this, and to become more "like God," they were punished for trying to do so agaisnt God's wishes.  And they were punished so severely, in fact, that God not only cast them out of hearth and home with all the heartlessness of Ebeneezer Scrooge, but promised to hold a grudge agaisnt their offspring forever after. 

Worse still, if the Bible is to be believed, the "final solution" God comes up with to fix this mess is not to simply "forgive" the children of those "original sinners," as he commands everyone else in the world to do, but to concoct a plan that would ultimately wind up getting his own son brutally tortured and gruesomely killed!

And all of this, so that the "son of God," which the Christian proudly presumes must have been Jesus, could deliver a message that, to enter the kingdom of heaven, we must be like Jesus (i.e. God).

Put simply, we are called to be like God, to overcome "original sin," which humanity inherited from Adam & Eve, when they tried to "be like God." And the plot thickens further when you consider that the same quest to "be like God" that caused Lucifer, "the most powerful and beautiful angel in heaven," to fall, is the very same quest that Jesus comes to earth to preach to his followers. 

 Hence, to read the bible is to "eat of the tree of knowledge," which is why the Church is such a serpent that it entices its followers to "eat flesh" and "drink blood," because at the end of the story, we discover that Jesus Christ is really Keyser Söze.

 And all of us, are simply sheep being lead to slaughter. 

Amen.

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...

Why Are Republicans Pro Life?

Most people don't realize that the Supreme Court has been in the hands of the Republican party since at least 1970! In fact, even in the landmark case of Roe v Wade that legalized abortion, SCOTUS was inhabited by 6 Republicans and 3 Democrats, and the vote was 7 to 2. One of the reasons is that the Republican Party has absolutely ZERO desire to win on the abortion issue. And that's because abortion gives the GOP a clear focal point with potentially unlimited organizing power. And it's an even simpler message to sell than religion, since we are "pro-life." (if that was true, however, they wouldn't be actively trying to repeal healthcare for up to 30 million Americans, nor would they be so pro-gun, pro-war, pro-death penalty, pro welfare cuts, pro- social security cuts, pro- drone strikes, etc). The Republican party officially became "pro-life" in 1976, thanks to Jesse Helms (R-NC). The only reason no serious challenge was brought within the pa...
