The Myth Believers: Why do Christians Deny Truth but Believe Myth
It's been several months since I've written anything. Kyralani and I have been so busy with Good Vibrations Radio(TM) that I haven't thought about what I wanted to discuss next.
On March 6th on Good Vibrations Radio(TM) we spent two hours talking with Jonathan Kirsch the author of "A History of the End of the World", a very detailed review of the Apocalypse of John, also known as The Book of Revelation.
My New Testament studies and Metaphysical studies remind me that most people who profess to believe and know the bible, have not truly read the bible. Oh, they've read passages given to them by some fundamental minister who espouses interpretations of the passages, coupled with passages from the Old Testament, that create some unknown link that god revealed to him or her last night in between their thoughts of how much money they bilked from the trusting and innocent.
Yes, they've heard the sermons, the preaching, and if they are Catholic they've even heard the dogma which Catholicism substitutes for a knowledge of the bible. But underneath all that hollow rhetoric they have not read the bible. They don't know for instance that there is not a single reference to a "rapture" or a "vanishing".
Do most self-professed Christians understand that in the Gospels and Epistles of Paul Jesus was not the "Christ" which means "anointed one" in ancient Greek. No, he was just Jesus and his twelve homeys travelling around Jerusalem annoying the ruling Romans and Jewish Pharisees. Or did they. After all, Paul never refers to any of the miracles of Jesus, or even these vast, vast metaphorical references. Nope, not one.
Paul, who was a persecutor of early followers of Jesus, is struck down on the road to Damascus, sees Jesus in a vision and, once his sight had returned, he began to convert polytheistic pagans to monotheistic worship of this one God preached by Jesus. Remember they weren't even Christians yet, because Jesus wasn't called the Christ.
In addition Paul, his followers, the Gospel writings of the "Good Tidings" (Gospels) and the train wreck of a hate-filled book written as the word of god, The Book of Revelation, are all the writings of people who expected the world to end in their time and for only true believers to survive as god smote down all those who didn't believe in him.
Remember this is the same loving god who created us all in his or her image and likeness. The best thing any unconditional loving parent can do is smite down those children who don't do what they want the children to do. This is the nonsense that the faith-based zealots want you to be believe.
Well, I don't. Why, because I use my brain for more than just filling space between my ears. I read, study, explore and learn. When a Sarah Palin pretends to talk faith step way back because the unconnected thought streams, perceptions and false premises will fill valuable space in the air - faith is not about knowing - faith is a personal believing. If you want to believe the bible then at least read it, I know with all the reading of every magazine and paper Sarah Palin may struggle with reading one more thing, but it would help if all these false prophets of our current apocalypse would just vanish. They use faith to hate, to divide, to polarize, to brainwash, to mislead and to lie.
Starting today I would like these false prophets of faith and belief in the bible to read the stories of the Egyptian god Horus and the Persian god Mithra to find out how everything that was ascribed to Jesus was actually ascribed to these gods centuries before the purported birth of Jesus. These faith-based, close-minded bigots parading as self-professed Christians need to recognize that they are believers in a myth and if they aren't careful one day the Easter bunny, the tooth fairy and Santa Claus will pay them a visit to demand they get equal time in the fairy tale belief system.
Why do I challenge their belief system? Because more death and destruction has been waged by man against man based on the theme of religion. Do you know what god really wants - she wants you to stop killing, maiming, hating and destroying other people in the name of religion. None of you have the right answer if your answer excludes someone else.
Let's have peace - believe what you want - but believe with true faith in humanity, in diversity, in connection, in love. If you don't do that you and your religion are false because if god exists - she is about connection. Think about that the next time you want to proclaim that Jesus preached a gospel of exclusion - he didn't - man created the exclusion by misusing the words of Jesus. After all man's ego wants to be god, so he has to exclude those who are different or don't agree.
The truth is you already are Divine. The ancients knew they were Divine. But you can't collect tithings from people who already are Divine, why should they pay you. So religious authorities framed their dogma to ensure the enslavement of the masses by offering to let them buy their way to heaven. God doesn't need or want your money, but all of us need your heart and love for a true Divine connection. Don't isolate and contract - Expand - that's the real message of the bible.
