Jesus is Jigsaw

 The belief that eternal pleasures await as a reward for having lived life as obediently as possible is an admission of not only how hard life is, but how much a person resents having to endure it. 

Expecting heaven in the afterlife, in other words, is an act of ingratitude for this life. 

And a belief in hell is to believe that those who did not perform such a test of life - a test they were never asked to participate in and from which there is no escape, not even death - with a passing grade by a grader who has demonstrated "his" willingness to punish the innocent and reward the guilty (Adman and Eve were thrown out of the garden of Eden, for example, which meant the serpent was rewarded for his lies with being the king of the jungle) deserve no less than eternal torments.

For St Augustine, any infant or fetus who died before they were baptized had failed the test of life and damn well deserved their eternal sufferings as a result, for who can ever question God and his "plan" as just? 

Hence, Christians worship the Jigsaw who designed such a game, named Jesus. 

 If Christianity is true, in short, Jesus is the serial Jigsaw from the horror movie "Saw."

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.
