NO TRUE CHRISTIANS!
There is no doubt in my mind that there is not one true Christian on the planet, and I can prove it. There are several signs of a true believer that are very plain in the Bible. Unlike many of the passages of the Bible, these particular verses are very plain and nearly impossible to misinterpret or take out of context. Let's consider these statements supposedly written by the Apostle John, otherwise known as the disciple whom Jesus loved, as he quoted his master and his God: 1) John 14:15 If ye love me, keep my commandments. 2) John 14:21 He that hath my commandments, and keepeth them, he it is that loveth me: and he that loveth me shall be loved of my Father, and I will love him, and will manifest myself to him. 3) John 15:10 If ye keep my commandments, ye shall abide in my love; even as I have kept my Father's commandments, and abide in his love. This seems pretty plain to me. If you love the Lord, you keep his commandments. Simple! John the Apostle emph...
respect for the dead? No, you respect people who lived respectfully.
ReplyDeleteJerry Falwell was a shmuck, and there'll always be plenty to replace him...

Sadly, the historical truth is that fear and hatred/dehumanization of the out group is a great political unifier. In historically antisemitic Russia, a common saying goes, "If there's no water in the tap, it's because the kikes drank it up." In Nazi Germany the Jews shared the blame with the Gypsies. In Falwell's twisted view, the out group is homosexuals, free thinkers, and all the other "un-American" groups he can find. Tell people that the good life is being stolen by some out group. It's the highway to political power, but in no sense is it the high ground.
ReplyDeleteTo be fair to the Russian's, they also produced the poet Nekrasov, who wrote,
The heart will never learn to love
That has worn itself out in hate.
The high ground belongs to the humanist ethicists.
By the way, I find it interesting that the usual group of xian commentators on this blog are silent concerning the late preacher of hate and intolerance.
ReplyDeleteFar easier to defend the long dead than the recently so, I imagine. Too much evidence remains when the church hasn't had an opportunity or ability to burn up all the incriminating evidence. I'd love to have been a fly on the wall in the corridors and private chambers at the Nicene conference. It's handy to forget the political legacy of the church since the 4th century.
The fat fucker talked about spiritual mathematics. Put God first in your finances and you won't have financial problems. Fucking liar. I never contributed to Falwell's fat ass, but other similar pastors stole my money through the same deceit. I put God first in my finances for years and continued to be faithful up until the point that I had no more money to give because it was being garnished for not being able to make ends meet and pay my creditors. My mathematics always ended up with negative numbers and eventually led to bankruptcy. So much for your "solution" to my problem. Farewell, asshole! I wish I could be one of the maggots that's gonna be gnawing away at your flesh.
ReplyDeleteI always thought that the comment "Putting God In Your Finanaces" was a stupid statement.
ReplyDeleteIt is one of the many unrealistic comments that christians like to make.
I would rather depend on my own intelligence to handle my own finances without leaving them up to chance to some mythical invisible so called personal god.
Poltergoost,
ReplyDeleteIt's either a stupid statement or a damned clever one, depending on how you look at it. It works wonders if your aim is getting money from the superstitious.
