sonmvayina: So what if they were written in Greek? Didn’t they translate their Bible to Greek and call it the Septuagint? Newton wrote the Principia Mathematica in Latin, does that mean he was Latin? 3 Likes |

sonmvayina: Just explain how something written by Jewish scribes and elites is ascribed to a supernatural entity. If Jewish elites and scribes wrote the book, how is “god” involved? What makes them god’s laws? No, I do not know the regular. 5 Likes |

sonmvayina: Scriptures were already in existence before Constantine or the councils and synods that formalized the religion and influenced the editing of said scriptures. Romans and Greeks didn’t write the scriptures. Your favorite people wrote them. 3 Likes |

sonmvayina: “God’s law”. Jewish scribes and elites wrote the book yet you call it gods law. What god? The ones the Jewish scribes and elites made up? How is something written by Jews, god’s laws. Did this god thing materialize to affirm that those are its laws? 5 Likes |

High Priests of Judaism wrote the first part while hellenized Jewish eclectic philosophers wrote the New Testament. Both groups were inspired and borrowed from more ancient cultures in Egypt and Ethiopia ( known parts that of Africa), Sumeria, Assyria, and Persia. An example of more a ancient culture that inspired the scriptures is found in the episode of Jesus’ wise men who represented Zoroastrianism and the originators of the astral allegories that the New Testament borrowed from. Also, it’s always been known by the learned that the scriptures are allegorical and the gods are mythical. Regardless of allegories and myth, often times it’s nonsense. e.g. in the beginning god created the heavens and the earth is geocentric nonsense. If the writers composed genesis in this epoch, they would write something such as, “in the beginning god created the heavens. On the fourth day, he gathered the best part of the heavens and created the earth”. It would still be nonsense, but it wouldn’t be so wrong and senseless. A lot of people try to claim their god created the universe instead of “heavens and earth”, but the writers didn’t even know what a universe is. I’m still waiting for the sun or other star to fall into the earth. 4 Likes |

Good for the Chinese. They Japanese were smart to throw the Christians back in the same and crucify some them when they showed up on Japanese shores. The destruction of Japanese culture and kidnapping that the Christians were doing were quickly curtailed by wise leaders who didn’t let the mental illness take hold of their people. The Chinese need to make an example out of this one. Make it 12 years in jail. |

elated177: Humanity is the most advanced being that we know of but given the brevity of human life and the chaotic nature of our existence, there ought to be more advanced beings who know more about existence than us. Life is product of the interaction between the sun and elements on Earth. Life started from non life due to the energy from the sun and conditions on earth. What we call the universe exists and everything that begins to exist is a reconfiguration of what exists with time being the product of this ongoing reconfiguration. You live once and death is the return to the state you were in prior to conception, birth, or when you achieved a sense of self. That means nowhere and everywhere because you are part of the whole. Reason is my watchword. Reason is the true light. Reason is how humans make advancement. Reason is developing your mind so that it’s not cowed by superstition. European elites subjugated most of the world because they knew to employ reason in advancing their societies while inculcating superstition in their subjects. 1 Like |

elated177: I have a personal philosophy which entails clarifying information as much as possible in order to reach the right conclusion about matters. I used to be an atheist until I asked myself “what is god”? I’ve lived an interesting life such that when Christians say “there are no atheists in foxholes”, I laugh because I was in a “foxhole” when I affirmed my atheism. |
Religion / Re: What Is The Purpose Of The Messiah? by killyaselfie: 10:47am On Jan 14, 2022 |
elated177: No, I am not. The concept of god and the supernatural are nonsense. There is no belief or unbelief needed. You dismissed my Santa story as a fairy tale without batting an eye so you have an idea what your religious stories sound like. The exoteric meaning of religious stories are nonsense while the esoteric meaning are clever but nonsense nonetheless. e.g. Adam and Eve is an allegory of why mankind is subject to the vagaries of the seasons due to no fault of theirs. The story starts in spring and ends in winter and the “Lord God” is the mythical genius of the Sun. But the ones who bamboozle people and turn them into holy slaves have convinced the devout that it’s about some evil principle in them called “original sin”. Nevertheless, I am an avatar of the Lord God, the True Light. 1 Like |

elated177: I spoke with Santa last week on his way back to the North Pole. I run a reindeer stable north of the Bering Strait and this time of year usually brings traffic, being the Yuletide season and all. Old Santa checked in last week and stayed for about 3 days because Prancer had split hooves that required care. You know, those reindeers are getting up there in age!! Anyway, Santa said, “people are such a disappointment”. With a sorrowful and anguished look on his weather beaten jolly face he recounted your deeds from the past year. Brother! My mouth was agape as he told me about your behavior, which beggars belief. How is the boy??!! It suffice to say, you should expect coal in your socks this Christmas and for the next three yuletides. 1 Like |

advanceDNA: Okay. advanceDNA: Historical examples of the imaginary being used as bugbears are purgatory, the doctrine of hell that you gave a “sarcastic” answer to, the concept of sin, and sacred scriptures used as threats. The idea that there is a god is a bugbear brace god is the ultimate imaginary being. Moses buttressed his laws with Yahweh. Lycurgus buttressed his laws with Zeus Orunmila buttressed his laws with Eledumare It’s a tale as old as time. Your god Jesus Christ says in Matthew 25:41, "Depart from me, ye cursed, into EVERLASTING FIRE, prepared for the devil and his angels." In Matthew 13:42, Jesus says: "And shall cast them into a furnace of fire: there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth." HELL IS FOREVER! All who enter hell — abandon all hope! advanceDNA: Christianity has never reduced the amount of evil in the land. History of Christianity is a history of bloodshed and subjugation. Dum Diversas and European avarice are the reasons you’re a Christian. People have been saying there is no god ever since the first person said there is a god. 1 Like |

advanceDNA: I don’t need to do a survey. History and contemporary observations are enough to show imaginary punishment deters some people from wrong doing and causes people to obey sacred authority. Even your “sin” is imaginary. advanceDNA: You are an example. You post indicates that “punishment after death” guides your behavior. Your post shows that you would likely “do as you like”, including act immorally without the imaginary hell. 1 Like |

Elliotwealth1: Jewish people are humans like you. They bleed like you. They get ill like you. They eat, sleep, and will die, just like you. So, what makes them special that their mythologies and fairy tales should be considered factual? What makes you think the Jewish god adopted by Christianity is any more real than the leprechaun sitting in the corner of your room? Don’t quit an illegitimate source of income because you’re a Christian, quit it because it violates people’s trust and dignity. Because at the end of the day, people and their condition is all that matters. All that god shit is nothing but a scam for a few to rule over the multitude who are ignorant enough to belief the scam. Your god and all other gods are mere psychological devices meant to relieve you of your existential dread. When you die, everything that comprises you is consumed by other living things and absorbed into the earth. There is no heaven, no hell, and no Catholic purgatory. Live free and respect nature including people. At the end of the day, you will be absorbed into the whole like a dew drop into the shining sea. Meaning, you will die and that will be the end of it. So don’t waste your time on some ignorant nonsense called god. 1 Like |

Horus: The most irksome part about the ironically named mental illness called “white supremacy” is when they start talking about “western civilization” and they trace it to the Greeks. They act as if the Greeks invented everything instead of Greek knowledge being the product of Greek intercourse with other ancient NON EUROPEAN/NON WHITE civilizations in Africa and the Levant. |
