Granddaughter : GrandPa, what do you call a christian who would rather throw stones instead of turn the other cheek.
GrandPa : Are you having a memory lapse, we’ve been here before.
Granddaughter : Remember, we are trying to undo years of programming.
GrandPa : Okay, if I must. A bastard jew.
Granddaughter : Can a human being be a christian without being a bastard jew?
GrandPa : No. All christians are christians because they have swallowed the doctrine of atonement, born from Judaism’s deliberate illusion that blood makes a real difference. It didn’t then and it doesn’t now as far as “God” is concerned. But if someone is carefully coached with tradition they can come to believe something has relevance when in reality it is just a psychological placebo that enables ‘faith’ to exercise it’s self as catharsis. Bethel A and Bethel B can both pretend to be baptist or whatever, but in reality their just lukewarm, leftover products of judaism with a scapesavior instead of a scapegoat . Some folk believe there’s a world of difference between the two. (If the scapesavior rose from the dead, why didn’t the scapegoat? ) How many of you believe that God would answer your prayers if you threw someone into a volcano for the sins of the village? Would America’s body of christ call that pagan nonsense? Nailing any man or woman to a cross is the same as throwing him or her into a volcano. “God did not answer our prayer. She lied. Bring another.” On and on and on it goes with trial and error building doctrine with superstitious nonsense. It does enable a ‘new’ identity to form, but it’s an identity that has nothing to do with “God” and everything to do with their hope for blessing because of their obedience to tradition. Christians think orthodox jews are the weaker brother and orthodox jews know that christians are fools who can’t think their way out of a wet paper bag. The fact that christians believe it’s all true just proves the ruse is real. No truth required, just faith. Not enough to walk on water or turn the other cheek, just enough to pretend you know God and have the right to tell others what they should and should not do because you read it in a book. (?) The righteous indignation born from ‘superior’ religious tradition begets arrogance that has no desire to appear as meek. Look at Israel today. It’s the same as it ever was. Proud, haughty, presumptuous and defiant. Sounds just like America’s view of international law. I wonder where that came from? A superior view that ‘God’s word’ transcends man’s collective reason? How can the bible transcend reason when it’s cornerstone is founded on make believe that seeks dominion over logic and reason, evolution’s gift to many sentient species?
Israel has never been holy. George W. Bush is not alone in his delirious delusion. Thanks to the work of AIPAC, et al., far too many share his fated confusion. Israel will leave the West Bank. If Bush wants to be remembered as something other than the worst President America will ever have, he’ll help them pack their bags. Otherwise, the situation only gets worse. America’s duplicity and complicity will end. In one real sense, America was once a superpower. Now it’s an indebted nation trying to swim with a ball and chain, courtesy of christ jesus, zionism, and atonement 2.0.
You cannot do all things in christ jesus when christ jesus is hokum. Ignorance is not bliss, it’s deadly. The ice caps are melting. The GOP lied. They are as unchanging as the ignorance they cling to. Welcome to ‘the tribulation’ created by their allegiance to the aberration they call ‘inerrant’ truth. They do not honor their oath to the Constitution, they despise it . It’s time for change and it ain’t Roe V Wade.
