The Christian Religion
If you think it is perfectly acceptable to do horrible things, "repent", and then all is good in the eyes if God (and everyone else), I've got news for you... God (and others including myself) hates you. We hate that you are doing this horrific thing and we want you to immediately change but do not expect the records of your horrific endeavors to disappear or become meaningless. Anyone who teaches you to repent and forgive/forget about the horrific things you have done is trying to control you into doing horrific things for them. Life teaches you that you should learn form your mistakes, not forget about them and repeat them. The Christian faith is FSBS, for sinners by sinners because they encourage you to repeat bad behavior as long as you "repent". If you seek advice in a confessional for something horrific you have done and the priest says, you are forgiven my child, end by saying to the priest, you my child will not be forgiven for failing to help another and suggesting horrific things are ok to do as long as you repent. Those who say it is never too late to repent want you to live a horrible life and do horrible things because they know that "repenting" just before you die will do nothing to change the opinion of those who judge your life. See for yourself. Listen for yourself. Reason for yourself. Judge for yourself. Power to you. What if at the end, you were the one who was doing the judging and not the one being judged? The reality is your opinion and judgment matters. Everyone's opinion and judgment matters. Judge for yourself now, is this good advice?
The Bible is just an edited version of concepts (partly plagiarized from the Torah) that are designed to oppress and certainly not the word of God. Want proof? In the beginning, God created Adam and Lilith, two equal begins. Then a group of men got together and decided they wanted their wives to be subservient and forbidden from spreading the word of God. They decided the story sounded better if it started with, In the beginning, God created Adam and Eve. God created Eve out of Adam's rib. Eve was considered a part of Adam so in this backward ideology, betraying Adam would be the same thing as betraying herself so she is to be subservient to Adam. The bible was rewritten to describe Lilith as a demonic night creature and Adam's first wife who betrayed him. It also serves as an argument that Christians are a sect of Judaism. Men who want a subservient wife are men who like to play with themselves (rib). What do you think a man can do if he has his bottom rib removed?
Genesis 2:7 — God forms Adam from the dust of the ground and gives him life.
Genesis 2:18–25 — God creates Eve from Adam’s side and brings her to him.
Genesis 2:21–22 — So the LORD God caused the man to fall into a deep sleep; and while he was sleeping, he took one of the man’s ribs and then closed up the place with flesh. Then the LORD God made a woman from the rib he had taken out of the man, and he brought her to the man.”
From the Jewish text, “The Alphabet of Ben Sira”, Lilith is created from the same earth as Adam, refuses to submit to him, leaves Eden, and is replaced by Eve. Lilith, created from the same earth as Adam, was Gnostic and understood she need not submit to anyone.
You are incapable of making decisions. Do not look at anyone else. Do not listen to anyone else. I am your one path to salvation. Do not question me. Anyone who says these things are looking to control you for their own benefit and not yours.
Corinthians 5:7 — "We live by faith, not by sight."
Proverbs 3:5-6 — "Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding."
Matthew 6:22-23 — Jesus speaks of "the lamp of the body" being your eye, suggesting that what you perceive guides your entire being. If your perception is "bad" (unclear), your whole body is full of darkness.
Acts 9:1-19 — Paul (Saul) is struck blind on the Road to Damascus and loses his ability to see and act independently until his faith is transformed. He must surrender completely.
John 9 — The blind man healed by Jesus becomes a meditation on spiritual blindness vs. sight, suggesting that physical perception isn't what matters spiritually.
Matthew 26:39 — Jesus prays "not as I will, but as you will," modeling the surrender of personal desire and decision-making.
Luke 1:38 — Mary says "I am the Lord's servant... may your word to me be fulfilled," accepting divine will over her own.
Matthew 5:29-30 — "If your right eye causes you to stumble, gouge it out and throw it away." This is metaphorical language about radical surrender of sensory inputs.
Hebrews 11:1 — "Now faith is confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see." Faith is explicitly defined as belief without sensory confirmation.
Peter 1:8 — "Though you have not seen him, you love him; and even though you do not see him now, you believe in him." Emotional and spiritual connection replace visual perception.
John 20:29 — Jesus tells Thomas (who demanded to see before believing): "Blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed." Direct rebuke of sensory-based decision-making.
Isaiah 55:8-9 — "My thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways... As the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways." Your reasoning is fundamentally inadequate.
Corinthians 1:25 — "The foolishness of God is wiser than human wisdom." Human judgment is positioned as inferior.
Corinthians 2:14 — "The person without the Spirit does not accept the things that come from the Spirit of God... they cannot understand them." Suggests natural human perception/judgment is blind to spiritual truth.
Proverbs 14:12 — "There is a way that appears to be right, but in the end it leads to death." What your senses and reason tell you is deceptive.
Romans 11:7-10 — Quotes Isaiah about how "God gave them a spirit of stupor, eyes that could not see and ears that could not hear." God actively removes sensory perception.
Ephesians 4:17-18 — Warns against "futility of their thinking... darkened in their understanding." Natural human cognition is darkness.
Corinthians 4:4 — "The god of this age has blinded the minds of unbelievers." Perception itself is compromised without faith.
Proverbs 22:6 — "Start children off on the way they should go... they will not depart from it." Emphasizes early indoctrination before critical faculties develop.
Deuteronomy 6:6 — "These commandments that I give you today are to be on your hearts." Emotional/spiritual acceptance over rational understanding.
Matthew 18:3-4 — "Unless you change and become like little children, you will not enter the kingdom of heaven." Childlike acceptance (lack of critical thinking) is the ideal state.
Colossians 2:8 — "See to it that no one takes you captive through hollow and deceptive philosophy." Warning against using your own judgment.
Romans 12:2 — "Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind." Your current mind (shaped by experience and senses) must be erased and replaced.
Peter 1:14-15 — "Do not conform to the evil desires you had when you lived in ignorance... As obedient children, do not conform to the evil desires of your former life." Implies obedience must replace personal judgment.
Hebrews 5:8-9 — Even Jesus "learned obedience from what he suffered." Obedience is presented as something you learn (are trained into), not something you choose rationally.
You are capable of making decisions. Look around and see for yourself. Listen and understand what is going on. You must save yourself. Question everything. Anyone who reveals clear understanding is your friend. You are the best judge for your own life. Do you think you will live life better as a free thinking individual or an ignorant slave? Do you think helping others think for themselves is a good thing?
