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 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...
