This thread will be ongoing, a little bit like a journal, where I'll attempt to condense my criticism of the bullshit which is endemic in our religious obsessive cultist worshipping of a man made ficticious idolatrous god. The bible is half truth, half nonsense. The truth part is beautiful truth. The nonsense part, that's the part like this.... Picture for illustration purposes only, remember, this thread is about bullshit. The point is, when there's biblical nonsense, humans don't want to know.
Christians, will you consider the real truth, or will you run and hide? Be afraid, because your world is about to get shaken if you look at the truth.
The thread won't be all about negativity, there are absolute wonderful truths to be found. Over thousands of years, the old and new testaments have come up with remarkable observations of human psychology.
Ask yourself; do you REALLY REALLY REALLY genuinely want to know the truth or do you really really really just want to be part of a group think manipulated feel good religion? I mean, having group think feel good beliefs - well, it does feel good! The singing, fellowship, sermons, group activities, outings, church camps, the theatrics, they all feel good. But it doesn't change the facts, the foundations are built on bullshit imo.
In Matthew 7, Jesus said everyone who hears his words and puts them into practice is like a wise man who built his house on the rock. Then he went on to say everyone who hears his words and does not put them into practice is like a foolish man who built his house on sand (Matthew 7:24-26). Half truth. In Western Australia, particularly Perth, all houses are built on a sand foundation. If you doubt my words, say so, I'll send photos.
Bullshit! It is impossible to live the christian life without guilty feelings, because its impossible. Edit: I had been a christian for many many years, so you could say I'm an insider. The church will call me a 'backslider', the church absolutely hates (huge contempt for) backsliders, that's those like me who were in and decided to out. In most instances if you push against church teachings, they will boot you out for life. Edit again: The church where I once attended booted me out, not for backsliding, but because the pastor began fucking my wife, and in the process destroyed several families. But that's another story I'll not bother to go into detail. Justice was done, the cunt is 6' under now, died of disease.
Church is bad, people are bad, God is mostly ok. Putin believes in God. Hitler liked dogs. Dems used to be ok 50 years ago.
