You’ve seen it: Christians behaving badly. Very badly.
They murder doctors (see two posts below), they murder their own children*, and they’ve even been known to wipe out entire flocks with one fell swoop of their poison-Koolaid pitchers (enter “Jim Jones” and “Peoples Temple” into any search engine and read all about it).
Where’d this pipe spring a leak? I’ll tell you where: In the Old Testament.
The Old Testament – which Christians refuse to burn and bury – is run by Jehovah the control freak, or as the famous British writer and scientist Richard Dawkins puts it, “… a vindictive, bloodthirsty …, misogynistic, homophobic, racist, infanticidal, genocidal, filicidal, pestilential, megalomaniacal, sadomasochistic, capriciously malevolent bully.”
Dawkins adds: “Those of us schooled from infancy” in Jehovah’s ways “can become desensitized to their horror.”
And there you have it. This is why Christ means nothing -- as in zero, zip and nada – to Christians. His daddy Jehovah swamps him out.
Christians have never behaved like Christ.
From their beginnings in Rome when they ran around burning and looting the city, through their bloody Inquisition and “witch”** purges in the Middle Ages, to their modern Jonestowns and systematic killings of physicians, gays and their own sweet offspring,* Christians have been “misogynistic, homophobic, racist, infanticidal, genocidal, filicidal, pestilential, megalomaniacal, sadomasochistic, capriciously malevolent bullies.”
The nut never falls far from the tree, does it?
But please, mamas, don't let your kids grow up to be Christian!

**I put "witches" in quotes here because while many of the women burned and tortured by Christians during the Middle Ages might have been real witches -- in the real sense of the word, i.e., women with the power to do magic -- it's a well-known fact that most of them were not.
The Christians went hog-wild killing and maiming during the Inquisition, and after a while didn't care who they ground into the dirt with the heels of their boots. Why? Partly because The "Church" was making it profitable for them to do so.

Don't forget cannibalism! There is some examples of cannibalism and human sacrifice here and there, too.
ReplyDeleteI said it before and I will say it again: that Old Hatebook is a creepy, raping terrorist guide. No wonder islam is this violent too - because it's based directly on old testimony. Allah is also sold as god of love..
Selling people and kids as sex-slaves? Bible. Stoning of women? Bible. Raping and then stoning women for it? All there.
Christianity is just a pretty guilded box, a thin veneer to sell the creepy cargo behind it.
Having a book of old hate mixed with a newer book of proclaimed goodness was of course very convenient. The church could say "love thy neighbour" and then add "except if that neighbour is a sinner, a witch, a woman, gay, has different religion, comes from another country, is a competition, knows how to read, has sex, looks funny and so on". Thus the nice theory can help justify the nasty practices.
AnnaPerenna, again -- so well put! And you're of course right about cannibalism being found over and over in the Old Testament.
ReplyDeleteOf course your minister or preacher or priest won't read you these passages. But they're there.
I talk about them in my May 2008 posts. Here's my May 26 post (later I found even more cann. passages in the OT):

KIDS: A Culinary DELIGHT?
QUIZ QUESTION: Number of times the christian bible mentions kids as a dinner dish: ___.
__________________________
ANSWER: At least six different biblical verses are about cannibalizing kids. (I haven’t read the entire Bible, so I might have missed a few):
EATING YOUR KIDS #1
“And thou shalt eat the fruit of thine own body, the flesh of thy sons and of thy daughters.”-- Deuteronomy 28.53
EATING YOUR KIDS #2
“So that he will not give to any of them of the flesh of his children whom he shall eat.”-- Deuteronomy 28.55
EATING YOUR KIDS #3
“This woman said unto me, Give thy son, that we may eat him to day, and we will eat my son tomorrow. So we boiled my son, and did eat him.”-- 2 Kings 6.28-29
EATING YOUR KIDS #4
“And I will cause them to eat the flesh of their sons and the flesh of their daughters, and they shall eat every one the flesh of his friend.”—Jeremiah 19.9
EATING YOUR KIDS #5
“The hands of the pitiful women have sodden their own children: they were their meat.”-- Lamentations 4.10
EATING YOUR KIDS #6
“The fathers shall eat the sons in the midst of thee, and the sons shall eat their fathers.”-- Ezekiel 5.10
PLEASE go read previous posts on this blog about “Starvation Culture.” It’s pitifully apparent that the bible is based on a culture set up long ago by psychotic, starving people. One of the behavioral hallmarks of long-term starving peoples is that they often cannibalize their own biological children.
For an explanation of Starvation Culture see the posts on this blog of March 1-8, 2006. Or, preorder a copy of Switching to Goddess, which has a detailed explanation (go to Amazon.com to preorder).
Although I try to keep this blog light, this is heavy stuff. America calls itself a "Christian country." We seem blind to the psychotic sickness we're following.
IMO, no way we'll be anything but psychos ourselves -- until we bump off Jehovah, Yahweh, Allah, Indra and the other sicko gods pumping poison into our planet, into our Mother, the Earth.
If ya can't believe all this is for real, go check out these verses yourself. And if yur 2 tired to root out your hard-copy bible, truck on over to BibleGateway.com.
