watching football

Christianity teaches us to love "our father who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name,.."

This "father figure" is the god who created us, so we are taught to "believe," who is as infinitely greater to us as we are to a spermatozoa.
  
A newborn infant, on the other hand, is likewise much greater than the spermatozoa from whence it, when combined with female gametes or "ova."

And the intelligence of the adult is on average of a much higher order than that of the newborn infant, in the same way that the intelligence that is said to have given birth to humanity is believed to be on a much higher order of intelligence than that of even the smartest human beings throughout history. 

Yet Christianity wishes for humanity to believe nevertheless that it can, and indeed that it must strive more than anything else, to use its own intelligence to 'infallibly' understand  that greater intelligence we call "God," even though this is like a colony of new born infants choosing to simply "believe" that they can infallibly understand the "greater intelligence" - who is "our father who art in the living room, watching football" - who created them.

And hell is the belief that if any of those new born infants fail to try to understand that intelligence, even though the very "bible" that intelligence wrote as an instruction manual assures them they will always fail at the attempt, no matter what degree of intelligence or effort the apply to it, the "father who art in the living room watching football" not only has the right to throw those babies into the furnace in his basement, but deserves to be loved more than anything else, by all those who strive "in fear and trembling" as it says in Philippians, to avoid the same fate. 

My only question is, where's the popcorn?

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...
