No good done by a person for a religion that believes in harming children deserves praise or credit. There is nothing worse than harming a child. The: “I would help the poor but hurt a child” attitude is clearly evil. There was a Roman Catholic child who at seven years of age was tormented by fears that his unbelieving father could go to Hell to suffer forever. There was the fear of going there himself. That child now speaks up for the countless abuse victims of the clerics who comprise the decision-making for the evil Roman Catholic Church. Jesus said more about Hell than Heaven and there were children in his audience. He is to be condemned as a false saint. Priests condemn as sins actions like masturbation that do no harm. Human nature is irrational enough and we live in times in which the world could perish through nuclear war. We do not need religion to create more irrationality than there is. If people knew the Church better they would not join it if they had a choice to join it. The priesthood is fooling the people - there are so many vicious and ludicrous doctrines the people are not aware of. A religion should be condemned by what it is supposed to believe even if it ignores it or denies what it is supposed to believe. For example, Catholics say the Bible is the infallible word of God. Those Catholics who say that religion should never command violence are contradicting it and their religion even if the very pope agrees with them for the Bible teaches that Jesus and God both regarded such violence as acceptable. Jesus rioted totally unnecessarily in the Temple. He went there to make trouble for he let the problem he had with the Temple workers fester for years. They are going against their religion. If that makes them good people, then it makes their religion bad.
I don’t like
priests because:
1. They lie that they have sufficient evidence that the faith taught by their religion is all true. There is no evidence and the theological experts have serious disagreements on the logical arguments. Just because somebody is very knowledgeable and intelligent doesn’t mean their logic or science is right. If that were true we wouldn’t have extremely intelligent and knowledge atheist philosophers and extremely intelligent and knowledgeable theologians. If a saint makes legs appear on a man who had no legs that is supposedly a sign from God for only God can do that and he does it so that people will go to the right religion to learn from it. Magical events like that are called miracles. In the case of miracles priests won’t even investigate the reality of miracles and apparitions with a message they don’t like and it is only a handful of the ones that do that they present as evidence or signs from God to support the message of their religion. They filter the evidence and then claim to be honest! Jesus claimed to be the Truth and Catholicism and Christianity claim to be the one true faith. They say Jesus commanded we must worship God in truth, that is by having his truth. So you are not allowed to treat your Catholic religion as probably true or possibly true. You treat it as the truth and as if everything was proven even when it is not. In other words, you obey the papal ban on birth-control no matter how evil or absurd this ban seems to you. This is a very arrogant, stubborn, pig-headed, irresponsible, dangerous and fanatical example that the Roman Catholic religion is setting.
2.
They lie that they have faith in their God and that their
religion is all true. This is impossible
because there is no evidence and you need to have evidence to be able to
believe. Blind faith is a contradiction
in terms, what is called blind faith is really just guessing, and acting as if
you believe. It's
self-deception and self-deception means you have to deliberately blind
yourself. It means you are a fraud who
degrades yourself and those you influence in the name of dogma. Whoever has faith in God without evidence is
an idolater because he is worshipping his own fantasy and since he is the
creator of that fantasy he must be better than it and so he is by proxy
worshipping himself.
3.
They tell you they are serving God. They are not.
They are not even serving their belief.
They lie that they have faith. What they call faith is really just
opinion. Opinion is an assumption. They are serving their religious
opinions. Their opinions of God and his
teaching are their God not God. They
are serving their wishful thinking. The child who creates a fantasy playmate to
do nice things for and have fun with is really just pleasing himself because he
invents and creates this illusion.
4.
Even if they were serving a belief they would still be
serving a belief, their belief, their creation. To serve another person what I serve is what
I believe about that person. I believe
that person exists - I cannot prove it.
I believe I can trust at least partly that person. I never feel fire what I feel is heat. This is the same principle. To serve God is really self-worship. You create a belief and worship it like the
idolater making a god out of wood and adoring it.
5.
To serve a belief in a god that other people say you must
have is to serve them not the god. For
example, somebody invents a Messiah for you to make the only reason to live - just like the
Christian God wants you to love him with all your heart. And that Messiah wants heretics killed and
other religions condemned as leading to the inescapable punishment of Hell and
the Messiah says that we don’t understand why he commands such things for he
sees the complete picture and knows it leads to the greatest good. Who gets the benefit? Those who create the belief. It’s really those persons you are serving and
they bring in the Messiah yarn to prevent you seeing that. Even if Jesus is God the Son as the pope says
then Jesus may not be getting anything out of it but the pope certainly
is. Anyone who wants you to fall in love
with a person whose existence cannot be proven is twisted.
6.
Each one of us is the creator of our own belief therefore
each one of us is the creator of our God and we all have one even atheists for
we all have something we value most of all.
I am serving myself not a God.
Religion then is based on lies and is an accessory so any harm done over
it is inexcusable and its good is not proper good.
7.
They say that you must love God most and with all your
strength (not some of it) and love your neighbour as yourself secondly. In other words, you are not good enough to be
put before a belief! We know today that
unless you start with learning to love yourself and not God and not others you
will never be able to be any good to others or yourself. This doctrine of loving God first of all and
most is entirely evil though taught by Christ (Mark 12:29-34). Jesus said you should love God so much that
you would rather gouge out your eye than be led into sin by it and he said it
in the context of looking at a woman with sexual desire (Matthew 5:27-30). If God asked you to take on a terrible
illness and endure it for all eternity so that somebody could go to Heaven
instead of the Hell of eternal torment and you wouldn’t do it then you are
breaking the commandment to love God totally.
To say he won’t ask is to miss the point. The point is if he asked.
8.
They deny that everything you do you do it for
yourself. That's who it is really
intended to benefit not the other person.
Even when I do what I don't want to do I do want to do it under the
circumstances. Want means desire and
when I do what I desire I do it to get some satisfaction at least out of
it. I am always looking for
gratification therefore everything I do no matter how selfless it looks is done
for me. This is what everybody knows and
yet religion denies it claiming that because God calls us to love him above all
things and with all our hearts we can love God more than ourselves. I am my own God and I cannot have any
other. When I do something for myself or
even when I give my fortune away to a beggar, I am doing it because I am
getting something out of it. That is why I do it. The results may differ but my intention to
please myself doesn’t.
9.
They tell you that only suffering can prove that you really
love God with all your heart and more than yourself and others. So religion requires heroism and heroic
suffering just for the sake of the belief that God should be loved that
much. Everybody is called to heroism and
must seek it out. Those who don’t will
be damned forever in Hell because Christ said that the command to love God with
all our heart and strength was THE greatest commandment and the welfare of
others was only the second. To break the
greatest commandment then is the greatest sin.
And everybody breaks it so nobody is going to Heaven. Anyone who would refuse to love a suffering
child first of all and chooses instead to love a God who cannot be harmed and a
God who is perfectly happy because he is all-good is a psychopath to some
degree.
10. They claim the right to say and believe you will go to Hell
forever if you do certain things. That
is what they would do to you if they were God.
Jesus rightly condemned the Pharisees for laying burdens on people while
they sauntered about like royalty. So it
follows that believers should take on the most difficult duties of love and
service. They should be among the lepers
even though it will mean they will die themselves. Their burden would be light in comparison to
what happens in Hell. If anybody wants
to claim that you will go to Hell if you die in unforgiven
serious sin and that you could be evil enough to choose eternal Hell, then they
should ask us to believe not by preaching but by being martyrs of love.
11. They say that divorce is bad and then they allow it when a
member of a non-Christian or non-baptised couple converts to Christianity.
12. They tell you that sin is a disorder and hateful but deny
that this means that sinners are disordered and hateful which makes no
sense. We know it makes no sense for we
all feel that if anybody deliberately hurts us that the person is evil in so
far as he or she harms us. To hate evil
then is to hate a person and only persons can be evil. To say John did a despicable thing is as much
to say that John is despicable.
13. They tell you that hate is not the opposite of love – not
caring what a person is enduring is the opposite of love. Not caring is worse than hating for people
have to care about you a bit to hate.
So the Church admits that but still it advocates this evil and makes it
holy and an essential part of its faith.
The people in Heaven enjoy Heaven despite the everlasting suffering of
those in Hell because they don’t care on the grounds that the damned have only
themselves to blame. Christians enjoy
themselves now despite believing that there are people in Hell and that their
own friends could be among them. It’s an
evil faith that hates sin so much that it thinks sin should be punished forever
if the person dies. That is worrying
about the sin more than the person.
14. They take money off you that should be put into
hospitals. That they are not the only
ones doing this should not even come into the discussion for that is not the
point. Politicians for example should be
financing hospitals too instead of their coffers.
15. They steal money off you saying its to pay them for
speaking God’s truth. Its theft for they
give you no evidence that they are entitled to it. They are not paid for doing good for anybody
can do good but disgorging their fairy stories and indulging their desire to
get people to believe what they want them to believe.
16. They say bigotry is a sin while their faith is based on it
for they use it to control people’s lives in the way they want and call for
suffering for God and believing in bizarre and even contradictory or
paradoxical doctrines such as a man coming back from the dead and being fully
God and fully man at the one time to name a few. Yet they condemn others who do the same when
it’s a different faith they come up with.
17. They tell you that God raised Jesus from the dead to prove
that Jesus’ doctrines and revelations were true. They say that the other explanations of what
might have happened which exclude a supernatural resurrection are harder to
believe than in the resurrection. This
is nonsense for you should only believe that natural law has been altered or
suspended as a last resort. An
implausible natural explanation is better than an unnatural one. They are quick to agree when its another
religion’s miracle claims that come up but not when its their own.
18. They tell you that the Virgin Mary appeared at
19. They tell you that revelation that must be accepted as revealed
by God stopped with the death of the last apostle of Christ. But its obviously a double standard when they
teach that you must believe in the Bible miracles despite the weak evidence and
you may reject the apparitions of Mary at Lourdes if you see problems when the
latter have better verified miracles for they present the evidence of doctors
to verify them. Mary at
20. They tell you that contraception is a sin for a child
should be seen as something to be wanted and something that is precious and
which God will not send unless he should.
And then they allow people to try and avoid conception by using natural
family planning or abstinence.
21. They tell you that no matter how extreme the circumstances
euthanasia is wrong so human life must be more important than quality of
life. And if that’s so they can’t
consistently allow morphine for dying patients for that will kill them. Just because you are dying anyway doesn’t
mean its not murder to kill you. If life
comes first the morphine is wrong.
22. They represent religion.
Everybody should do what works for them and experiment with spirituality
instead of listening to their rules. If
people did that there would be no religious wars. Religion causes many wars.
23. They teach that the pornographic adoration of a man
suffering on the cross for us is good but then they forbid holding that sexual
parts that give life should be reverenced religiously. At least Witchcraft is right that the sexual
parts are the most sacred parts of the body for they give life.
24. They baptise your children with a view to indoctrinating
them. That is stealing your
children. Its child abuse. Children should be taught about decency and
integrity and nothing else. What good
does it do a child to teach them that a book like the Bible is the word of
God? A baby becomes a child of God by
being baptised. It follows that whether
the Church admits it or not, that its teaching is saying that unbaptised babies are defective and not children of God but
little bastards. The Church thinks of
children conceived outside of marriage as bastards. If you are a bastard because your father
wasn’t married to your mother then how much more are you a bastard if you don’t
have God for your father? He doesn’t
even want you until baptism magically changes his mind! It follows then that it is a pity unbaptised babies have to exist at all.
25. They teach that baptism heals original sin which causes us
to like sin so much. Logically baptised
people are superior to unbaptised and should be more
trustworthy. This is nonsense and a
deliberate lie and has fomented racism.
The sacraments, rites that have occult power to turn you into a better
and holier and more godly person, have no unique power so the priests are just
quacks for the soul. Most of the
baptised fall into a state of spiritual separation from the Church by “serious”
sin such as scepticism towards certain doctrines of the Church and so on. So even experience doesn’t support their
nonsense, their deliberate lie, that anybody that is baptised is born again,
turned into a new person who unlike before is mostly inclined to serve God and
the Church.
26. They say that grace is what you need from God to be
saved. And they claim that God does the
absurd and unnecessary miracle of turning bread and wine into the body and
blood of Jesus Christ through the hands of the priest so that Jesus can be spiritual
food and drink. But it is grace that is
the food in a symbolic sense. And you
don’t need Jesus’ body or blood for that.
The rite was invented just to create mystery and fear of the power of
the priest and to attract the people and to make an excuse for getting them to
go to Church often to be brainwashed and an excuse for making those banned from
communion feel guilty. It’s a bait.
27. They say that there is no merit in any good work you do
while you are estranged from God by serious sin. This is because you are telling God, “I want
good on my terms not yours” so the good works are the most dangerous sins of
all for they look good but are fully evil in the motivation. Venial sin which does not estrange you from
God for it is not serious enough says the same thing and yet the priests deny
that every good work done by a venial sinner is a sin.
28. They say they can forgive sins. But they are not God. Nobody can forgive sins for God. It is like saying you can love a wife for her
husband! Also the command of Jesus that
you go and make up with everybody you have hurt and are not at peace with
before you go near God or offer Mass or any sacrifice (Matthew 5:23-26) is
ignored by the Church.
29. They believe that those who die unrepentant of serious sin
will suffer forever in Hell for it. You
need proof and not just proof but absolute proof to be able to say things like
that and they haven’t got proof. What
could be more serious than saying anybody deserves eternal punishment? It can’t
be even thought without some kind of vindictiveness. The Bible says that serious sinners go to
everlasting torment and human nature being what it is often can’t help hating
the guts of those who are seen as leading others into such sin. Catholicism underhandedly incites to
hatred.
30. They teach you that you must believe everything that is
part of the faith they represent for you can’t pick and choose for either you
believe God speaks through the leadership of the Church or he doesn’t
especially when God can command things that look bad but which lead to more
good in some way that we cannot understand for we only have a limited
view. This nonsense gives them
incredible power over lives. It’s dangerous. And it proves how the religion isn’t being
true to itself if it not authoritarian.
Today’s priests are afraid to dictate.
Deuteronomy 18 has God saying a prophet of God who does miracles and who
is always right about what he predicts in the future but who reports that God
made a revelation to him that isn’t right then that prophet is to be rejected
outright and totally. The standard is
not high but perfect so to question one doctrine is to question all. All the doctrines go together.
31. They say the Bible is the word of God though it has God
commanding Jesus to make a human sacrifice of himself to God for sins and for
adulterers, homosexuals and apostates to be put to death by stoning. So they would wish that edifying books would
disappear if there was a choice between them and the Bible disappearing! There can be nothing better than the word of
God but how could it be good to have children reading and adoring an evil
twisted bigoted old book?
32. They never mention the Catholic doctrine that the Jewish
Law was not done away with by Christ.
What he did away with was the penalty of not keeping the Law perfectly for that is impossible anyway
but you can keep it if you want.
33. They never tell you that though Church decrees are
infallible when intended to be and when the decrees are speaking to the whole
Church that many of these decrees command the murder of heretics and those who
contradict the faith of the Church – see the declarations of the infallible
ecumenical councils such as Lateran 3 and 4.
It is not Islam that has the most statements encouraging holy war and
religious murder. It is Roman
Catholicism. Islam can be made into a
religion of peace if it would just listen to the Koran only and remember that
its God is said to be the Merciful – Roman Catholicism cannot without denying
itself. Its God wants heretics dead in
case they corrupt others.
34. They say God allows suffering to happen so that we may show
compassion to one another – obviously to deny this is to deny there is an
Almighty and all-loving God. To suggest
that God stands by and allows terrible suffering for that reason is totally
callous. Does a good mother stand by and
let her baby scream in agony so that the doctor can exercise compassion? Could compassion be genuine when you assume
that God allows suffering so that you may exercise it? That is saying that even
if you are wrong you want to believe you are right and that people should
suffer so that you may be compassionate.
That’s “compassion” not compassion.
35. They condemn magic but prayer is a form of magic. When John prays for a bike he is trying to
make his getting a bike happen. He knows
that people have got bikes after praying like him and then died on the roads as
a result. His asking then is no better than
black magick or cursing. He is like a Witch performing spells while trying to make things happen.
Priests will say that unlike Witches John is leaving it up to God to
send the bike or not. But Witches say
that spells can fail due to the witches or Gods not really wanting the result
or some stronger force getting in the way.
There is no real difference. Both
are selfishly trying to control reality and what happens instead of leaving it
up to the forces that know best. Praying
for people looked at as sinners is only hypocrisy for you can’t hate the sin
and love the sinner and those who say they can are liars so the more you pray
the more devious religion makes you! The
only prayer should be, “Lord, Thy will be done” which isn't asking God to do
anything but letting him do what he wants. Anything else is just trying to manipulate
God.
36. They condemn divination but prayer for guidance and belief
in the guiding presence of the Holy Spirit is divination. Guidance is no good unless you feel that God
is telling you to watch out for some people.
Divination and such prayer is evil because it is the desire to delve
into the secrets of others. The people
who feel they get guidance from some psychic sense do it the same way as those
who feel that god is guiding them.
37. They promote a hard difficult morality and they are
pampered by being free from tax, family life, doing little work, having social
status and big houses and fancy cars.
The parish pays for this and they can supplement their salary with
donations received, masses and baptisms and marriages sold. The rich of Christ’s day who he had harsh
words for and said their entry into Heaven was just about impossible weren’t as
well off in those terrible times. One
didn’t need an awful lot of money to be rich then! Today’s priests are better off. Jesus speaks Matthew 23:4 of the priests of
the Jewish religion of his day, “They tie up heavy loads, hard to bear, and
place them on men’s shoulders, but they themselves will not lift a finger to
help bear them.” These priests didn’t
threaten eternal punishment on those who disobeyed their religion like Catholic
priests do. They didn’t claim to have
supernatural powers which despite their aphorisms on equality makes them
pretend they are to be treated like gods.
Equality in word not practice is not equality at all. Their lies that the last sacrament they give
can save you from Hell has brought untold distress to many who found themselves
dying alone in car accidents.
37. Priests give communion to comfort hypocrites in their hypocrisy. Jesus said we must love God with all our being and be willing to suffer the worst of torments to do his will. We watch non-religious people entertaining and being happy on television. This is a sin for it tempts us to love God less and to think that people can be happy without giving God supreme importance. Everything is a sin if we are to love God as Jesus said. Those who do serious wrong are not allowed to communion. The priest welcomes people who live in comfort and who refuse to simply survive so that their surplus money can go to the poor in Africa. Rome says sex without lifelong commitment in marriage is a serious lie and a serious sin because in sex you are saying you give your whole self. The priest welcomes married couples who have sex but who believe that separation is justified sometimes meaning that when they have sex they sin seriously by indicating, "I am committed to sharing your life unless we separate". Jesus advocated an aggressive opposition to heresy or disagreeing with "God's truth" and where is this aggressive zeal among the Catholics? He even caused a riot in the Temple without making an effort to get it resolved by negotiation and diplomacy though he had long enough to do so. The Bible teaches that ignorance of what God has revealed and or disagreement with it is a very serious sin and God and Jesus set up procedures for the expulsion of such from the people of God. Few Catholics agree with their Church or care what it teaches. The priest knows this. The person who lets their little dog sleep in a cold shed at night when it deserves the best for its short life is welcomed to their communion. People who torment animals in Meat Processing plants are welcome. And so is the person who admits that he or she can't love the sinner and hate the sin for they end up hating the sinner with the sin! You could write for a week on the priest's encouraging hypocrisy and self-deceit in their rites.
38. They agree with Jeremiah 17:9 where it is warned that the human heart is
full of deceit. They teach that we still suffer
the effects of original sin which makes us prefer to have our own religion than
follow God's way. Jesus himself considered
the self-deceit of the Pharisees and scribes so powerful that he didn’t bother
trying to convert them to a better way.
He called them blind. It follows
that religion
and faith are really probably man-made and that to follow religion at all is to
follow men. Even if Catholicism is correct, it could still be following men and
not God to follow it. We could be taking men's word for it and not God's
that the faith is true. So the odds are stacked against you that you are
following God not men. It follows too
that you could think you are doing good for God or others whereas the real
reason is to avoid damnation in Hell or to get into Heaven. Let us assume that an act can be motivated by
more or less altruism. An atheist then
would have more chance of being altruistic or would perform a better degree of
altruism than a believer. The atheist
sees altruism as sacrificing some time in his life for others and he will never
get much or anything back for it for death is the end. Even if atheists were not as good as
religionists, it would be a reflection on the kind of people that are becoming
atheists not their atheism.
CONCLUSION:
Priests have fanaticism and dysfunctionality written all over them and their policies. Their lies and their simpering are a disgrace. They cover up child sex abuse in their ranks and they pamper themselves despite claiming to preach the strict and difficult and severe commandments of Jesus Christ. They should clean up their own act before preaching a difficult gospel. Catholicism should believe that birth control is evil - its part of its identity as a religion. Catholicism can't be the true religion if it is wrong about how sinful birth control is. But people should separate from it so that there will be no Catholicism left to believe it. If you belong to or claim to belong to a religion that should believe evil things, then even if it doesn't, you are being evil and supporting evil. A religion that doesn't understand or admit or see how evil it is meant to be is a religion that is being praised for going against itself. It is no compliment to praise it for you are praising ignorance and disobedience. Separate from it.
