The jews started off the crazy bible, just need to look at jews today, just as fucked up as anybody. One little fucked up country.
Look at the christian church, all fucked up and all over the shop, that's how much good influence the fucked up bible has given.
Per head of population, there are probably more pedo priests and pastors in churches than any other occupation. Its not only females they play with but males, now that's double fucked up mentality.
I hear the hurt in your posting and I am sorry. I know you have had some recent health issues so it is a lot for you to deal with. I agree with a lot of what you say as I have become disillusioned with the church and have not attended an organized church for several years now. Do not give up on your own personal relationship because we must all stand before God individually.
Although cancer, never been a problem (yet) no pain, no inconvenience, even the hospital visits are an interesting experience. My life is not threatened, eg, my cancers are not terminal. I've had a good run in life, in my 20's I thought I would be dead by then as I was such a reckless person, raised on the wrong side of the railway tracks.
Glad to hear you are handling the cancer well. A good friend of mine in his 50s was diagnosed last Fall with advanced prostate cancer and was given a grim outlook for survival. He is an expert researcher and found information on fenbendazole as a treatment. Interesting in that a researcher was doing cancer research and all her mice came down with a parasite. Not wanting to ruin her study she gave them fenbendazole and her research was ruined anyway because all her mice got cured of their cancer. The researcher later came down with cancer herself and remembered her mice and she was cured as well with the fenbendazole. Watch this video on it. My friend has so far refused surgery and his PSA has come down from over 80 to less than 1. He has a CT Scan this summer to gauge his progress.
That is an interesting idea/point. About how all the Western common sense was forged after reading the Bible and having it adsorb into Western life. So that begs the question...Where did the Biblical view of those same traits come from? From an ethereal God at some sudden point in time? NO! It was how we maintained our species as we grew over the last 100,000 years! It was common sense to NOT kill your neighbor, because as a hunter-gatherer species, we needed cooperation with fellow man to survive! All the moral bits evolved later, but the instinct to survive and be nice to each other did not start with God in 3000 B.C. or whenever it was that the Jews claim Moses was given the ten commandments. BULLROAR!
I like to think of the bible as a bit of a users manual that is popular, ie has a good reputation. Just a thought, if you raise children with a moral users manual, when they grow up and think for themselves, a good foundation has been laid previously. The problems come later though, if adults take every bible word literally and cling to beliefs like satan, miracles, prophesies, I am right and saved, you are wrong and condemned, it morphs into cultism, group think, delusion, and praying for miracles.
