Christ was an Atheist

Someone once said that "The lovely thing about Jesus was that he was so at home with sinners, because he understood that he wasn't one bit better than they were." The Christian dupes themselves into believing they see themselves as no better than those they define as "sinners," but what they really mean is that they only feel comfortable being around people who agree with them about what a "sinner" is, and are the most uncomfortable when they are around people who fail to "believe" in the same definition. 

That is, Christians are only comfortable around those who accept the tradition of defining people as "sinners." What they should be comfortable with, however, is a new perspective that rejects such labels as "sinners" to begin with, as they are simply a means of control by those who lust for power - and nothing more.  

By challenging sacred "beliefs" and traditions, Christ was no different than Socrates, and both had more in common with the atheist than the religious believers who, convinced of the "truth" of their sacred religious "beliefs," sought to kill both Christ and Socrates for being enemies of the status quo. 

In fact, the earliest Christians were all seen as atheists for refusing to accept the God's of Rome, and were similarly persecuted by devout "believers" for all of the economic ills that Rome increasingly found itself to be suffering from.  

And today, who but the Christian claims to "be like God, knowing right from wrong," which is exactly the "sacred" knowledge the serpent promised Adam and Eve would receive by eating the fruit of forbidden knowledge  in the Garden of Eden?

Indeed, the Christian even drinks the blood of that dead fruit every week, which hangs from the dead tree called a cross, which they worship in their churches as "the tree of life," even though it is simply an instrument of torture and death.

And if Jesus were alive today, the Catholic Church would work tirelessly to ensure He was crucified for daring to challenge it's "infallible" claims about God, and more importantly, what it means to be a human being.

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. Thi...
