The Axe Body Spray of Loving God On Command

"Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength."

We see this quote in Deuteronomy 6:5, Matthew 22:37, Mark 12:30, and Luke 10:27. 

How utterly insane it is for someone to "love" someone on command. Yet not a single Christian sees anything odd about this at all, and instead think people deserve whatever eternal tortures await them for failing to do so. 

If we changed the word "God" in this quote to, say, Government, or Nike, or Kim Jong-il, Joseph Stalin, Jim Jones, Howdy Dowdy, or even oneself, the Christian would immediately and rightly object. But when it is "God," even though such a word is far too abstract to mean anything definitively useful, the Christians seems to think it is even more natural to "love" on command than to sleep, breath, or eat. 

As such, the only thing more fascinating to the atheist than the Christian who thinks people should never "love" anything or anyone on command, except when it is their own specifically "Christian" God who is so commanding, is the lengths those same Christians will go to to deny that the threat of eternal hell has anything whatsoever to do with their decision to follow such a command with all the alacrity of a dog obeying his master's command to fetch a stick.

And perhaps even more curious, is how the Christian will argue so forcefully that they "love" god, not because the same Bible that commands them to do so also assures them of being roasted for all eternity for failing to obey,  but because of their own "free will." 

It is this adamant conviction that they are "loving" God of their "own free will," and not because they were commanded on pain of eternal hell, that convinces them their "love" is what makes them worthy of eternal paradise, ya know, with the God who commanded them all to "love" him, lest He cast them all into the eternal ovens of Auschwitz. 

 And since we are all called to "be like Jesus," and Jesus is in fact God, the next time I am in a bar I will simply tell the first "Christian" woman I encounter that I command her to "love me" with "all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength."

If the Bible is to be trusted, I am sure such a "command" will have the very same effect as Axe Body Spray, prompting a stampede of bikini-clad Christian women to run toward me from everywhere. And as they do, looking almost like animals running through the wilderness, I'll just stand there with a satisfied grin on my face - holding my Bible.

Why Ben Shapiro is Wrong About BLM

If Ben Shapiro really wants answers to his condemnations of BLM, he should start by reading a few books, and then some. For example, he can find all of the answer's he's looking for in: Slavery By Another Name , by Douglas Blackmon, which shows how "thousands of African Americans were pulled back into forced labor with shocking force and brutality," right up until the 1970s, when I was still in grade school. The New Jim Crow: Mass Incarceration in the Age of Colorblindness , by Civil Rights litigator and legal scholar, Michelle Alexander, which explains how "mass incarceration" under the ruse of a War on Drugs, has effectively created a caste system that is as pronounced in America today as it was in the Jim Crow south, if not more. Ghosts of Jim Crow , which was written by Constitutional Law Professor, F. Michael Higgenbotham, which explains in great detail how "the shadows of Jim Crow era laws and attitudes continue to perpetuate insidious, ...

The Height of Arrogance of Christian Humility

 "To think that the ruler of the universe will run to my assistance and bend the laws of nature for me is the height of arrogance. That implies that everyone else (such as the opposing football team, driver, student, parent) is de -selected, unfavored by God, and that I am special, above it all." Dan Barker, Losing Faith in Faith: From Preacher to Atheist (Madison, WI: FFRF, 1992), p. 109. What could be more arrogant than to believe in miracles? To believe that the supreme ruler of the universe has not only bent the laws of nature by which everyone else is bound, but that such a ruler did so as a special favor to you, and also as a special message and invitation to you, which that ruler intentionally withholds from everyone else.  Even the person who believes they know something is a miracle believes that their knowledge of miracles is itself a special knowledge, amounting to a kind of miracle in and of itself, that the God who performed the miracle bestows to his chosen ...

Father Mike's Omniscience About Transgenderism

The major problems in the world are the result of the difference between how nature works and how people think. Gregory Batson I f my perception doesn't match up with reality, it's not reality that has to change, it's my perception.   Fr. Mi ke Schmitz Despite the ever growing mountain of evidence about the nature of transgenderism, Fr. Mike Schmitz simply refuses to change his perception. And that's because his "perception," is not only based on nothing but his "beliefs," but because selling those "beliefs" is his one and only job! The problem, if he were truly trying to follow in the footsteps of Christ, is he would stop trying to sell people what he "believes" is the truth, and he would try to actually start trying to FIND THE TRUTH instead.  NOT DOING SO, however, is simply an act of his own spiritual pride, and nothing else. WHY DO CHRISTIANS PREFER THEIR BELIEFS TO THE TRUTH?  Probably because th...
