Thank God that most churches today don’t beat you up, here, for talking against their teachings (that they reserve for the hereafter).

Why do I do it? WHY CHRISTIANITY? Because I don’t know enough about most other religions (I am a 4 year seminary (institute) honor graduate and was a chaplain’s assistance for 3 years in the military and a practicing Luthern/Baptist/Mormon for way too many years). Why do republican try to turn democrats? Why does anyone try to teach their children to avoid thoughts and actions that do not benefit them? Why does anyone try to logic out illogic or try to expose lies?

EVEN IF CHRISTIANITY IS IS IS TRUE, proves true hereafter, AS portrayed in their book and by their preachers, it would still be contrary to freedom and liberty (which so many love here) and pro control, slavery and subservience (which so many detest here) and of course, sound judgement

People obey a countries’s laws to get benefits and not get punished by fine, imprisonment or death.

People obey commandments to get benefits and to not get punished by their churches (unlike in days of old) or by burning in hell.

BOTH Christian theology and political philosophy have the same ends: BENEFITS for OBEDIENCE and PUNISHMENT FOR screwing up.

Just what mankind needs is a tyranny in the hereafter with plenty of practice to prepare for it in the herepresent through government and religion.

Christian teachings by minister’s interpretation of the bible are akin to the political philosophy of a tyrant, despot, dictator, slaver or insane king who by the sword or gun or threat of future hell, gives rewards or decrees punishments according to his whim and ability to wield his power at his discretion, and announcing, “Because I am God, your tyrant, despot, dictator, slaver and insane king, and because I have the power, you will obey me or suffer the consequences. I will have your obedience or you will pay with not only your life here and now, but hereafter, for ever, plus three hours.”

“I am God, and whatever I do is right, which means, might makes right” (which reasonable folks abhor).

Selling your soul to Christianity (or any theology) is no better than selling it to the devil, for, according to the story....the devil wasn’t the one who designed Adam and Eve (with their dispositions) nor did he place the forbidden apple on the tree in the garden within reach of the couple and then depart, leaving the devil there to tempt Adam and Eve. It was a hell of a trap.

Depending on how the Bible is interpreted, you must (1) accept Jesus as your savior and then you are saved from hell and go to heaven, which means if you don’t accept Jesus, you burn in hell

(2) you must do good works (but good works won’t save you) because that’s Jesus’s job through his grace.

(3) you must accept Jesus, do good works, repent of your sins or you don’t go to heaven

(4) Jesus paid for Adams transgression which brought death into the world and Jesus takes upon him that transgression and all other sins, but you have to pay for your personal sins (I’m stopping here because there are dozens of other interpretations).

Christianities’s God and Kingdom doesn’t make sense.

A tyrant, a despot, a dictator or a slave owner, each ruling their kingdoms, would be hard pressed to equal the savagery and insanity of the Christian God as portrayed in his book and taught by “his” ministers.
