Jesus Came to Redeem Humanity for the Sins of David, Not Adam

Anyone who has bothered to read anything about the Tribes of Israel knows that Jesus did NOT come to redeem humanity for the sin of Adam, per se, but the sin of David.

Adam, like Lucifer, wanted to "be like God," so the Christian will tell you. But David, by setting himself up as the King of the Jews (and then later rewriting this fact), was always understood by the early Jews to be the thing that ultimately broke the covenant that the Jews had with their God.

The Catholic Church has only ever hidden this fact from their congregation, because to admit that Christ came to destroy the man made temples that David had built (via his son), which included the institutional temples that included the Sanhedrin and those power structures that were no less about power, and no less corrupt, as the Catholic Church, and every other "religious" institution today, was to put itself in the very same position that the Sanhedrin was in when Christ began to point this out.

That, of course, is why the Sanhedrin murdered Christ. They murdered him, because he was no different than Gandhi, or Martin Luther King, or so many others, who have all stood up to the evil of power. This is why Paul Tillich called "all institutions inherently demonic," even as Catholics insist their own is better than the rest, which is what everyone thinks about their favorite institution.

The story of Adam, then, like the story of Lucifer, are simply different renditions of the sin of David, in his desire to seize a throne of a people who, as part of their covenant with their God, knew they could have "no other Gods before" their own. To appoint a king was to do just that, as the emperors and rulers of those days were always understood to be "gods," of one sort or another.

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...

The Clash of Religious Beliefs with Reality: Over Simplicity in a Hyper Complex World

God is the anthropomorphism of  our hope that life has a "happily ever after" ending, where there is no such thing as death and suffering, which we anthropomorphize in the form of the devil. In a sense, we are taking ideas and turning them into phantom figures of our selves, with angles and demons being projections of our own souls and our penchant for good and evil.  We see this when we anthropomorphize the act of gift giving into Santa Clause and think in terms of "old man winter" and "father time." We even reverse this process by describing ourselves as living in the springtime of our youth or the autumn of our years.  Religion takes this habit to another level, however, and teaches people to "believe" that the personifications we rely on to describe our hopes and fears are actual "beings;" beings from whom all of the characteristics we tend to associate with ideas of life and death, good and evil, necessarily emanate.
