ASK YOURSELF:

Is the bible really the word of God? How do you know for sure?

Is the bible perfect and true, or does it contain mistakes, immoral cruelty and alterations?

Who wrote the bible, and when? How do we really know?

Does God ever command his people to kill children?

Does the bible say one thing in one place, and the complete opposite in another place?

Does the bible say that people are condemned to hell for what they do, or only what they think?

Does the bible say we should kill people who think differently that we do?

How do you really know that Jesus ever lived?

And if Jesus did live, how do you know he wasn't just an ordinary man?

Was America really founded on the Christian religion?

Does the bible specifically forbid abortion, or doesn't it?

Do you make up your own mind, or does the Church make up your mind for you?


 

 

My Message:

It's okay if you don't believe in a god or the bible!

And it's okay to admit that you think it's stupid!

You have the right to express your honest thoughts.

Be honest and speak up!

You don't have to pretend to believe in goofy fairy tales and an invisible man in the sky!

FACT: The bible was not handed down to us through the ages as a whole, perfect and congruous body of text.

Ordinary men decided which books would make up the bible and which books should be discarded-- by voting on it. This did not happen at the Council of Nicea, as claimed in the Da Vinci Code, but at Laodicea in 365, although this was not final-- a few books were included that would later be omitted, and the Book of Revelation was rejected. Revelation made it in at the Council of Carthage in 397, but the Book of Lammentations was out. Things were still being argued as late as the 6th Constantinople Council in 629. The Protestants did not decide on which books should be in their bibles until 1647, at the Assembly of Westminster. There is nothing holy about it... REF

FACT: Since the inception of Christianity, the Church (Catholic and Protestant) has waged a campaign of intimidation, confiscation of property, torture and murder in order to silence contrary opinions.

This is one of the reasons why the Church has held on to to the position of power for two thousand years-- not because Christianity is true. REF

FACT: Church fathers (and in fact the bible itself) say that its okay to lie in order to increase the power of the Church.

That would be Bishops Eusebius, Heliodorous and Synesius-- and Paul in Romans 3:17. Early documents, including parts of the bible, were altered or forged. REF

FACT: The bible is not a revelation to Humankind. Revelation is limited to the first person only, to whom the revelation was made.

If someone writes a book about what he claims was a revelation to him, it is only secondhand hearsay to the rest of us. We have to take his word for it. REF

FACT: There were many historians living during the time of Jesus, but none of them mentioned him, his miracles or the any of the unique events in the gospels.

That's right-- not one. Nothing was written about Jesus during his alleged lifetime or shortly thereafter. The gospels were written 40 to 100 years after the time of the crucifixion by people who wanted to start a new religion. This failure to notice Jesus makes it likely that he was not a real person. If Jesus lived, nobody noticed. REF

FACT: The authorship of most of the books of the bible is unknown.

No one knows who really wrote most of the bible. Moses did not write the first five books of the Old Testament. The names of Mark, Matthew, Luke and John were attached to the gospels by the early Church fathers. The bible is not "holy", it is simply a collection of myths, laws and embellished histories of the Isrealites (for the Old Testament) and the teachings of a new religion (for the New Testament). REF

FACT: There were many "Messiah" figures which predate the Jesus story, that are built upon the same pattern of a virgin birth, miracles, healing, preaching, capture, crucifixion, resurrection and ascension.

Early Church fathers knew about these dozen or so earlier messiahs, and said that "Satan created these stories before the coming of Jesus, in order to confuse people". Jesus Christ was just one of many common mythological cult figures. REF

FACT: The bible was written in the earliest days of man's ignorance.

People didn't know anything yet. Humanity thought the world was flat, and that disease, hurricanes, earthquakes, thunder and droughts were all caused by gods. It is unbelievable that primitive man guessed wrongly about everything else, but knew "the truth" about the origin of life. It is more believable that god(s) were invented by primitive people for the following reasons:

  • to explain natural events that they couldn't understand
  • they had an inability to cope with their fears of a death that was final and absolute
  • they had a need to provide enforceable laws with divine penalties
  • they had a child-like need to feel watched over and protected by a loving, powerful father-figure
  • religion provided a means of gaining power and income to those who controlled it REF

Why am l calling the Bible trash? Because in spite of it being advertised as the "Good Book" and full of truth--- the bible is neither good, nor true, and the fact is that believers don't read it with an honest, objective mind, and can't see what I'm about to tell you. Somebody famous once said that the bible has almost as many mistakes as it has words. It is filled with thousands of errors, contradictions, and outright nonsense. Time and time again it has proven to be false. Most religious people refuse to accept this, because it's not what they want to believe. "The Truth" is that bible is ridiculous-- full of the most foolish absurdities. It has no place in the modern world. Keep reading, and I'll prove it to you.

The bible promotes what is worst about humanity. In it, God commands and rewards murder on the largest scale imaginable (even the murder of innocent women, the elderly, children and even babies). Moses and Joshua, following God's orders, killed more people than Hitler. The God of the bible commands and condones theft, lying, slavery and rape. The bible upholds every vice and every injustice. It is cruel, intolerant, ignorant and violent. There is no book in the world more obscene, more morally repugnant, more evil, than the bible. Don't believe me? Then read on!

What about all the good things in the bible? Sure, the bible has a few good sayings-- but these were said by others first. Laws similar to "Thou shalt not kill" are found in every nation, in every age. And just because someone says: "Love your neighbor" on Friday doesn't make it okay that he said: "Kill people different from you" on Monday. The bible has Christians so confused that they can't tell the difference between murder and justice--- such as the killing the firstborn children of Egypt, or stoning a man who picked up sticks on the sabbath, to name just two examples. Some people say that the bible isn't meant to be taken literally, but that it still serves as a moral and spiritual guide. Are you kidding? The bible as a spiritual guide for America? No way! The bible is wrong for America.

The bible is a boring chronicle of things that never happened. Yes, some of the towns and kings mentioned in the bible really existed, but so what? Towns and kings were "current events" when the original biblical texts were written. If we wrote a book today about a country called the United States, and it had 50 states, and George Bush was the president in the year 2007, and that he walked on water and made dead people rise from the grave, well, some of that would be true, and some of it wouldn't. The fact that the book was correct about some things wouldn't make the whole book true. It proves nothing.

Do you want to know what I'm talking about? You should start reading THE TRUTH ABOUT THE BIBLE, and then read the rest of the articles below.

Does this page offend you? Then you have the freedom to leave--- isn't this a great country!
