The Old Testament deity, Yawheh (Jehovah), was the Hebrew god of hate, war, misery and death – utterly devoid of love, decency or mercy. Christians refer to him as "merciful father" but they're stumped when asked to demonstrate their point. For every act of mercy (always conditional and grudgingly given) Jehovah committed hundreds of acts of cruelty and sadism. Abomination and Atrocity were his guiding principles.
It is an insult to any God that there might be to compare it to that gross, disgusting and hideous piece of maggot shit - that ghastly pose god who stomps like a malevolent beast through the pages of the Old Testament.
The truth is that no one knows anything about the force that may or may not govern the universe.
You might say, "You're wrong, Jesus knew" but unfortunately it is you who is wrong. We know next to nothing about the Yeshu to whom you refer. He was born a Jew and he became a rabbi with a following of sorts. Not one word of what he taught has reached us because the Turkish/Roman anti-Jew - Saul of Tarsus - insisted that his version of events, based on nothing more than a vision (probably drug induced), was the correct version; more accurate than that of Jesus' disciples, more accurate even than that of Jesus' mother Mary and his brother James.
Saul (aka St Paul) claimed to know more about Jesus than anyone who had actually known, met, seen or heard Jesus.
Saul insisted that Jesus engaged vegetation in conversation and cursed a fig tree to death for disobedience, advised slave owners to make slaves wait for their food, instructed heterosexual men to amputate their hands, gouge out their eyes and sever their testicles. Saul's Jesus drowned two thousand pigs in order to cure a man of a mental disorder and he was loathe to heal a sick child - he called her a dog - because she wasn't a Jew. Saul's Jesus - the Biblical Jesus - was a sick racist imbecile.
Saul was an educated man whereas Mary and James were illiterate, and so naturally it was Saul's perverted version of events that caught on. Four scribes whom we know nothing about copied ideas from Saul's 'Q' gospel (which went missing), they added their own little twists and quirky bits, hence the contradictions, and pagan 'miracles' were tossed in for good measure. Thus we have Jesus turning water into wine, healing lepers and restoring cadavers to life -- just like the Greek, Persian and Roman gods of old. Jesus couldn't fly like the pagan gods but he sure could walk on water! The gospels were given names -- Mark, Matthew, Luke and John and the whole fabulous lot was served up as the "Word of God'.
The Book of 'Revelation' was scribbled by a paranoid schizophrenic – crazy John of Patmos – on an exceptionally bad day. He had Jesus covered in blood with a sword protruding from his mouth, riding a stallion and murdering most of the world's population. Prior to 1672 Revelation was acknowledged to be the work of a madman but it suddenly became the "Word of God" and was surreptitiously stitched into the New Testament.Why do people believe such nonsene as appears in the Bible? Fear of death, that's why. People are so frightened of dying that they'd worship flying elephants if they believed that flying elephants could save them from death.
The church -- all churches -- recognised that fact 2,000 years ago. The churches accumulated vast real estate, gold, jewels, art treasures and trillions of dollars in hard currency simply by promising gullible people everlasting life. Were Jesus to return to Earth the first people he would condemn to hell would be the Catholic popes, cardinals, bishops and priests who sodomise everything he stood for. For there's one thing we do know about the real Yeshu, not from the Bible but from the Jewish historian Josephus, Yeshu was a man of the people who hated greed and railed against hypocrisy.
Imagine Jesus coming face to face with Cardinal Pell, Jesus in his humble robe, Pell in his magnificent ball gown and jewel encrusted funny hat, representing a church worth trillions upon trillions of dollars. The first thing Jesus would ask Pell, before casting him into the lake of eternal fire is, "How can you be so vile and treacherous as to represent an institution that stands for everything I fought against and died fighting?"
"Why do you encourage people to pray in public when I instructed them to pray at home in private? Why do you build vast churches and cathedrals while turning your back on the homeless? Why do you use my name to generate power and wealth for greedy parasites? Why do you lead a life of pomp, grandeur and privilege when I loved the poor and the meek? Why are you so wealthy when so many people are starving? Why do you drink expensive wines and liquors when millions of children die each year from lack of clean water? Why do you abuse me to elevate yourself through the ranks of your monstrous construction?"
If he were honest Pell would stammer, "Because people are too stupid to understand such matters" and he'd be right. Maybe not "too stupid", but too lazy. People prefer to believe exactly what they're told to believe rather than take the trouble to investigate things for themselves. Very few Christians read the Bible. They claim to love God and love Jesus but they'd rather read Women's Weekly or Who magazine or Wheels. To hell with God, he's boring.
Or they might read a brochure with the word "Truth" emblazoned across the top. They'll suck in any old shit provided it's free, stupid, and promises them everlasting life. The purpose of this particular brochure is to invite intelligent and thoughtful people to consider the first church in the history of mankind to talk sense.
