This
site invites believers in God who see the harm in religion, atheists and
agnostics to start doing something about the regrettable and dangerous
influence of religion on our society and our politics. It is simply unfair that something so twisted
should have so much clout.
The
main thesis of C.A.R.M.E.L. is that religion is
just a con and its members are being exploited.
Their right to the truth is undermined by religion which seeks to
control their morals and their thinking and grab their money while inducing a
need for religion that arises from something as bad as a drug addiction. This outrage has to be halted and information
is the solution. Religion is intolerant
towards human rights for it takes away the right to truth.
Want
proof? Here it is. The Catholic Church in A Catechism of
Christian Doctrine, Question 177, reveals that it is your typical religion
when it says, “The sins against Faith are all false religions, wilful doubt,
disbelief, or denial of any article of Faith, and also culpable ignorance of
any of the doctrines of the Church”.
Jesus condemned doubt as a sin or act of intentional malignance – so you
deserve to be punished for it. He said
that God will only do you the favour of answering prayer if your faith is
unwavering. The doctrine that God guides
people to the truth he has revealed logically implies that if you find your
faith is weakening then you are calling God a liar so doubting even a bit is a
grave sin. Mormons and Catholics have two
incompatible faiths and both insist strongly that their faith has been revealed
to them personally by God which shows that the doctrine is a deliberate
lie. You would be need to be as smart
and virtuous as God to know if a communication you thought was divine
inspiration really was that so the arrogance and false humility of religion is
undeniable.
Doubt
may do harm like when you doubt your friend who says that there is a bomb in
the building and get blown up but it is never wilfully harmful. Doubt is sincerely questioning the truth of
what you are told for insincere doubt is not doubt. To condemn doubt as sinful is to condemn
honest thinking, integrity and sincerity and to incite slander and hatred
against anybody that does doubt. To
condemn doubt is to encourage arrogance, it is wanting
people to regard their faith as truth itself and refuse to change their minds
for they know it all.
When
religion tells you that it has the word of God it is telling you that it is
your duty to listen to this word and you are calling God a liar if you ignore
it or disbelieve it. It can’t be a duty
if you are entitled to doubt it as you see fit and should be free to! Face it, if religion were not after power it
would focus on what people needed and what was right for them rather than on
dogmas and saviours and things like the existence of God. Who cares what kind of God you believe in, be
it a force like psychic power, a weak old man in the clouds or that God is just
a metaphor for an ideal of goodness, as long as goodness is engendered and
encouraged?
The
goodness of faith is the basic doctrine of each religion but faith is not good
for it detests the doubting of the creed that it expresses itself in and when
the foundation is bad so is the structure built on it. If God does miracles to guide you to a faith
he is doing you no favours nor is he being honest! Miracles are blasphemy and religion cannot
exist without hypocrisy so it is evil and to blame for all the wickedness
worked in its name for if it didn’t exist the wickedness might not have
happened. The only faith that is good is
faith in yourself for if you believe you can succeed and be happy your life
will be less stressful and you will find that you improve in every way. Faith in God is no substitute for this. God can inflict depression on you and take
away what he gave you to test you. It
is a sin to believe that God will build up your self-esteem for it mightn’t be
his will. And those who like God the
best are guilty of that sin. They are
the proof that they don’t need God and are foisting an unnecessary belief on
the world and asking for it to be taken seriously. What is unnecessary should not be taken
seriously. Look at the deaths and
suicides and people crippled with guilt over the god belief.
Christians
follow Jesus who said that the most important commandment is that the Lord your
God is one and you must love God with all your heart, soul, strength and mind
(Mark 12:29-34). For Jews and Muslims
this commandment is binding as well as it originated with the prophet Moses who
got it from God. This commandment has a
hidden teaching. Part of it declares
that there is only one God. So believing
in God is far more important than loving him because you can’t love him that
much unless you believe in him first.
Jesus then sanctioned the evil of dogmatism – that is why Catholics are
expelled from the Church for saying Mary wasn’t sinless all her days and if
they advocate and believe in murdering they will not be expelled. Dogmatism is refusing to look honestly at
anything that contradicts your opinion.
It is making a god of your opinion.
It is glorifying the evil of bias.
How much better it is to unpeel your eyes and go where the truth and
facts lead you!
Let
people guide you but you remember you don’t have to agree with anybody, pope or
prophet or Jesus, for all alleged revelations from God are just human opinion
and thinking and there is nothing intrinsically sacred about them!
Living without God is the key to self-esteem for the only reason a person does anything is for some kind of gratification for herself or himself meaning you are your own God and that you love yourself alone and this self-love benefits those you meet and makes you a worthwhile person. When you say you love others you simply mean that you cherish the happiness they bring you. It is that simple. The God belief or religion then are unnecessary for you can satisfy yourself if you know how and what is unnecessary is to blame for any evil that follows it and it gives people an extra excuse for causing trouble. Accordingly we have the right to condemn it and deny that any good it does justifies its existence. We must hate the dogmas but not the people that hold them. We want to help them.
