When Christians Persecute Others

Read Ester Lighthorse's newest book today!
http://www.amazon.com/Turkey-Broth-Spirit-Questions-Pentateuch-ebook/dp/B00GVLQ0CY/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1386004442&sr=8-1&keywords=ester+lighthorse


It is Always a Case of the Pot Calling the Kettle Black


I think it is a bit ridiculous for those individuals who point to all those who do not believe in the Bible or the God of the Bible, to claim that the non-believers are in essence and fact the root of the world's problems. Of course, when has organized religion ever taken the time to stop and really consider, admit to their part in the many atrocities throughout history? Perhaps their reasoning is that since they have God and salvation through Jesus Christ they don't have to worry about their aberrant behavior ever being the root of the world's problems.

What happened to the popular saying people have been repeating for eons, that money is the root of all evil? Apparently, that long-standing measure of the financially obsessed has lost its appeal. After all, maybe it just seems more exciting and fun for the fanatically religious to blame non-believers for problems, right? I mean, sometimes those who are blamed don't turn and walk away but rather turn and defend themselves...and with any luck they will fight the religious crusaders of the universe, which in turn can be manipulated to appear as though Christians are being attacked for believing in God.

So many Christians are eager to claim they are being persecuted but at the same time are loathe to admit their own guilty acts of persecution against others who choose a different god(s) to worship, or even no deity at all. Also, what is quite often left out of Christian claims of persecution are the true reasons why a person or group of people have decided to speak out against Christianity and the Bible, why they are angry with Christianity and the Bible and God. Many Christians would rather have as many people as possible believe that they are under attack just for following the Bible and believing in God and Jesus, rather than being under attack because someone got sick and tired of being told that they are evil for being gay or are going to hell because they don't measure up to a God they don't even believe in in the first place.

Overall, Christianity has done a pretty good job of making itself and its members look like the helpless persecuted of the world, goodly searching, spiritually hungry and suffering, yet amazingly hopeful spiritual refugees just waiting for their victorious savior to return and take them home. However, the growing technology within communication coupled with a greater effort for the thorough study of history is little-by-little peeling away the gilded mask of institutionalized religion. And what lies beneath the beautiful mask? Ugliness, fear, maniac desire for control, forced submission, endless lies, psychopathic stories repainted and retold as miracles, severe abuse, theft, genocide, infanticide, deep prejudice, and threats that are all anything BUT love and compassion, and certainly devoid of anything having to do with freewill.

Before Christianity or any other major religion starts claiming that its adherents are being persecuted, these faiths really need to buckle down and take a look at the crazy shit, the persecution they have aimed at each other and at those who do not wish to believe. You will run into many fine, kind people who are Christian, sure. However, Christianity itself is cruel and mean and it draws its power and its control through the persistent persecution of others.

According to this unfortunate, almost comatose fear monger the 'net' is closing in around Christians as the world becomes more and more dangerous. 'THEY' are coming for the Christians and 'THEY' are coming for the children of the Christians. Oh, and 'THEY' are full of shit.

This man talks about the price that is paid in some form or other for being a Christian. He seems to conveniently forget the price that is paid by those who are not Christian. What is their price? A wide variety of prejudices and stereotypes and put downs and bombardments. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=23NEz3Vc4L0

According to this man a couple in California who held Bible Studies in their home were told by authorities that if they did not stop the gatherings they would be fined. The way this man explains the story you would think that some unusual and religiously horrible thing happened that threatens the souls of everyone. This guy really needs to stop saying, "Can you believe this? This is America we are talking about." He is misinterpreting facts in order to give his delusional spiritual quest a little oomph. Oh, and the couple is still holding Bible Studies in their home and religious rights are being protected. 

Then there is the flip side of the coin, right? Do you think that Christians would give a good goddamn and a mother f*ck if it was not their own Christianity? Would they be even remotely interested in fighting for, showing support for a couple holding home studies about metaphysics, philosophy, Wicca, Shamanism, and a whole laundry list of others? I am not saying that this couple should not be supported because Christianity fails to support others who believe differently, no. I am just saying that it is interesting how Christianity as a whole cannot view anything from any other perspective other than its own.

Oh please!! Faith purification? What is the difference between that and what some Christian groups ask their congregation members to do or to think or to believe? This video is great in vilifying the Muslim faith, while at the same time NOT mentioning anything of what members of Christianity have done to members of different faiths all over the world. When Europeans began sinking their nails into the New World they were intent on bringing salvation to the indigenous peoples, and were exceedingly violent and murderous toward the Native Americans of North, Central, and South America.

The fucked up descriptions in this video about Christians being persecuted are not all that different from the violence Christians throughout history have resorted to in an effort to force native peoples from all over the world to convert to the God of the Holy Bible. Have Christians ever been persecuted? Oh yes. That is a fact. However, Christians should not try to use their history of persecution as a brownie button or medal of valor considering Christianity's own verifiable history of persecuting others.

This is good. Puts a new spin on the question, "What would Jesus do?"

The title of this video is 'Christian Persecution Coming to America from Islam.' Hummm. Sounds similar to what happened with the religion dragged across the Atlantic when the Europeans began wreaking havoc in the New World. The Europeans had already had loads of practice beating down the pagans and heathens and peasants with Holy Bible based faiths before doing the same thing to the people of the Americas. Considering that, Christians really should stop acting so goddamn surprised that people want to persecute them. I am not saying it is a good thing to persecute Christians or any person of any other faith or no faith. I am just saying that considering Christianity's own trac record with persecuting people they have no grounds to pretend they do not know why Christianity draws the ire of many people.

Christianity lies about far more than some people realize. Scary.

Spoiled Brat of the Divine II

How long did it take for God to lose control of His divine wrath, or to be sadistic and plain mean?

The Book of Exodus

The Book of Exodus is truly horrible. God regularly kills, maims, destroys, or instructs others to do so. He lies, tricks, and purposely MAKES people to do things that are not in their best interest...like when God purposely hardens Pharaoh's heart. God has zero control over His anger or over His apparent desire to do some pretty fucked up shit.

In this post I really did not pick videos that were specific to each verse. I was simply so disgusted with Exodus that I picked videos that discuss God's many shortcomings and ridiculously absurd behavior and instructions. Enjoy these verses from the Book of Exodus that portray God's complete and total unworthiness to be worshiped by anyone.

Exodus 3:20 "So I will stretch out my hand and strike the Egyptians with all the wonders that I will perform among them. After that, he will let you go."
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RT8WATQ6vWY&list=PLQvzVjHW5eHiCO_rgzbvgbay3odaKCJVK

Exodus 3:21 "And I will make the Egyptians favorably disposed toward this people, so that when you leave you will not go empty-handed."
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z1BzP1wr234

Exodus 3:22 "Every woman is to ask her neighbor and any woman living in her house for articles of silver and gold and for clothing, which you will put on your sons and daughters. And so you will plunder the Egyptians."
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sVw5OzuOCmY&list=PLQvzVjHW5eHiCO_rgzbvgbay3odaKCJVK

Exodus 4:14 "Then the LORD's anger burned against Moses and he said, What about your brother, Aaron the Levite? I know he can speak well. He is already on his way to meet you, and he will be glad to see you."
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OPLr2Byh2wA&list=PLQvzVjHW5eHiCO_rgzbvgbay3odaKCJVK

Exodus 4:21 "When you return to Egypt, see that you perform before Pharaoh all the wonders I have given you the power to do. But I will harden his heart so that he will not let the people go."
Exodus 4:23 "...and I told you, Let my son go, so he may worship me. But you refused to let him go; so I will kill your firstborn son."
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lCfVd5QvdGY&list=PLQvzVjHW5eHiCO_rgzbvgbay3odaKCJVK

Exodus 4:24 "At a lodging place on the way, the LORD met Moses and was about to kill him."
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ovwAJ7qCOkY&list=PLQvzVjHW5eHiCO_rgzbvgbay3odaKCJVK

Exodus 5:22 "Moses returned to the LORD and said, Why, Lord, why have you brought trouble on this people? Is this why you sent me?"
Exodus 9:6, 9 "And the next day the LORD did it: All the livestock of the Egyptians died, but not one animal belonging to the Israelites died."
     "It will become fine dust over the whole land of Egypt, and festering boils will break out on people and animals throughout the land."
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HtVdDgmKRHk&list=PLQvzVjHW5eHiCO_rgzbvgbay3odaKCJVK

Exodus 9:19 "Give an order now to bring your livestock and everything you have in the field to a place of shelter, because the hail will fall on every person and animal that has not been brought in and is still out in the field, and they will die.'"
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WC-i19cPNYs&list=PLQvzVjHW5eHiCO_rgzbvgbay3odaKCJVK

Exodus 11:10 "Moses and Aaron performed all these wonders before Pharaoh, but the LORD hardened Pharaoh's heart, and he would not let the Israelites go out of his country."
https://www.youtube.com/watch?list=RD02Z1BzP1wr234&NR=1&v=L7jClyinERY&feature=endscreen

Exodus 22:24 "My anger will be aroused, and I will kill you with the sword; your wives will become widows and your children fatherless."
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ODetOE6cbbc&list=RD02Z1BzP1wr234

Exodus 31:14 "'Observe the Sabbath, because it is holy to you. Anyone who desecrates it is to be put to death; those who do any work on that day must be cut off from their people."
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QjhFlI6-ZBI&list=RD02Z1BzP1wr234

Exodus 32:10 "Now leave me alone so that my anger may burn against them and that I may destroy them. Then I will make you into a great nation."
