Busting Free

By Gkneaux Beauxdee ~

What an inspiring site. I just wish i could find the place that has to be around here somewhere, where a person can become a member and talk all the time. Hence, i submit this story and hope it gets me in the door. Maybe even some "intel" on how to do it - I'm a bit 'technologically challenged.' (As well aa a grammar rebel.)

So, here's my story - When i busted free from the clutches and chains of the Church, it was a freedom like no other - it not only freed my Soul and my mind, but my life as well. Course, then i was out of step with the world i'd been living in. And i have trouble keeping my mouth shut around the ones still licking-up their chains. And those who have lied and blinded them. So, all in all, it sure didn't make life easier one bit - not one bit at all.

But if i could give only one gift to another, it would be to set them free from religion of any sort. Unless finding out who you are and why you're here, is a religion. What more is there to it? Other than, don't be detrimental to Life, be something Life just can't live without. Is that a religion, or just plain common sense? While doing so, it's always good to find out Who, or What, is at the top of the evolutionary ladder we appear to be on, and find out what they're looking for, in "indispensible". And it sure isn't US at the top.

And of course, anyone making money off their teachings, isn't telling the truth, they're saying what people want to hear. Duh. People interested in making money have statistically been shown to not give a damn about anyone that buys what they're selling. They're in it for the money.

In the case of religion, it's an Eternal Life Insurance Plan. That one thing alone, has created the #1, #2, etc. largest financial institutions in the world and financed the wars; then rape the children, subjugate the women, get richer, enjoy the greatest luxuries and pleasures, destroy the planet or anything that gets in the way, kill anyone that displeases you, and so on and so forth, and then lie and say you're the God of Heaven. Simple and effective. Kill anyone that says you're lying, or call them a terrorist and put them under surveillance and don't let a word they say escape to the public.

And as a Pope, if you get scared of being God's Emissary between him and the People because people aren't falling for it anymore, quit, and let some other guy handle it. (Thought it was a life-time job.) Because indeed, turns out, this Jehovah fellow, isn't all he's cracked up to be. Seems he lied about being the King of Heaven. He's the King of Hell, who lies and kills those who know differently.

Point is - I did indeed, (just as "Jesus" admonished, Plato concurred, and all original teachings embraced,) find the answers to the Universe by finding out who i was. It really worked. So, all in all, it's a good thing, taking the spiritual journey. They didn't lie about that. It works out. One gets the whole picture. Only took me 50 years to do it, too. You probably don't want to invest that much time, so seems you would help me become a member here.

And once a human starts showing signs of real intelligence, it does indeed attract Higher Intelligences who find Intelligence in the Human Species, indispensible. Apparently. And of course, there are also the Intelligences who have mastered spirit travel, serving very bad men, who would like you silenced, dis-credited, or dead. So, altogether, it makes life more interesting.

And if anyone needs ammo for an annoying Christian, tell them it would SEEM - "Jesus" would run from those wanting to drink his blood and eat his flesh, wouldn't he? I sure would. Wouldn't you? Vampires and Zombies? Forever? THAT'S who he wants to love forever? As they're chasing him down to kill him?

Thank you for your consideraton in this matter.

Christian TV presenter reads out Star Wars plot as story of salvation

An email prankster tricked the host of a Christian TV show into reading out the plots of The Fresh Prince of Bel Air and Star Wars in the belief they were stories of personal salvation. The unsuspecting host read out most of the opening rap to The Fresh Prince, a 1990s US sitcom starring Will Smith , apparently unaware that it was not a genuine testimony of faith. The prankster had slightly adapted the lyrics but the references to a misspent youth playing basketball in West Philadelphia would have been instantly familiar to most viewers. The lines read out by the DJ included: "One day a couple of guys who were up to no good starting making trouble in my living area. I ended up getting into a fight, which terrified my mother." The presenter on Genesis TV , a British Christian channel, eventually realised that he was being pranked and cut the story short – only to move on to another spoof email based on the plot of the Star Wars films. It began: &quo

Are You an Atheist Success Story?

By Avangelism Project ~ F acts don’t spread. Stories do. It’s how (good) marketing works, it’s how elections (unfortunately) are won and lost, and it’s how (all) religion spreads. Proselytization isn’t accomplished with better arguments. It’s accomplished with better stories and it’s time we atheists catch up. It’s not like atheists don’t love a good story. Head over to the atheist reddit and take a look if you don’t believe me. We’re all over stories painting religion in a bad light. Nothing wrong with that, but we ignore the value of a story or a testimonial when we’re dealing with Christians. We can’t be so proud to argue the semantics of whether atheism is a belief or deconversion is actually proselytization. When we become more interested in defining our terms than in affecting people, we’ve relegated ourselves to irrelevance preferring to be smug in our minority, but semantically correct, nonbelief. Results Determine Reality The thing is when we opt to bury our

So Just How Dumb Were Jesus’ Disciples? The Resurrection, Part VII.

By Robert Conner ~ T he first mention of Jesus’ resurrection comes from a letter written by Paul of Tarsus. Paul appears to have had no interest whatsoever in the “historical” Jesus: “even though we have known Christ according to the flesh, we know him so no longer.” ( 2 Corinthians 5:16 ) Paul’s surviving letters never once mention any of Jesus’ many exorcisms and healings, the raising of Lazarus, or Jesus’ virgin birth, and barely allude to Jesus’ teaching. For Paul, Jesus only gets interesting after he’s dead, but even here Paul’s attention to detail is sketchy at best. For instance, Paul says Jesus “was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures” ( 1 Corinthians 15:4 ), but there are no scriptures that foretell the Jewish Messiah would at long last appear only to die at the hands of Gentiles, much less that the Messiah would then be raised from the dead after three days. After his miraculous conversion on the road to Damascus—an event Paul never mentions in his lette

ACTS OF GOD

By David Andrew Dugle ~ S ettle down now children, here's the story from the Book of David called The Parable of the Bent Cross. In the land Southeast of Eden – Eden, Minnesota that is – between two rivers called the Big Miami and the Little Miami, in the name of Saint Gertrude there was once built a church. Here next to it was also built a fine parochial school. The congregation thrived and after a multitude of years, a new, bigger church was erected, well made with clean straight lines and a high steeple topped with a tall, thin cross of gold. The faithful felt proud, but now very low was their money. Their Sunday offerings and school fees did not suffice. Anon, they decided to raise money in an unclean way. One fine summer day the faithful erected tents in the chariot lot between the two buildings. In the tents they set up all manner of games – ring toss, bingo, little mechanical racing horses and roulette wheels – then all who lived in the land between the two rivers we

Morality is not a Good Argument for Christianity

By austinrohm ~ I wrote this article as I was deconverting in my own head: I never talked with anyone about it, but it was a letter I wrote as if I was writing to all the Christians in my life who constantly brought up how morality was the best argument for Christianity. No Christian has read this so far, but it is written from the point of view of a frustrated closeted atheist whose only outlet was organizing his thoughts on the keyboard. A common phrase used with non-Christians is: “Well without God, there isn’t a foundation of morality. If God is not real, then you could go around killing and raping.” There are a few things which must be addressed. 1. Show me objective morality. Define it and show me an example. Different Christians have different moral standards depending on how they interpret the Bible. Often times, they will just find what they believe, then go back into scripture and find a way to validate it. Conversely, many feel a particular action is not

I can fix ignorance; I can't fix stupid!

By Bob O ~ I 'm an atheist and a 52-year veteran of public education. I need not tell anyone the problems associated with having to "duck" the "Which church do you belong to?" with my students and their parents. Once told by a parent that they would rather have a queer for their sons' teacher than an atheist! Spent HOURS going to the restroom right when prayers were performed: before assemblies, sports banquets, "Christmas Programs", awards assemblies, etc... Told everyone that I had a bladder problem. And "yes" it was a copout to many of you, but the old adage (yes, it's religious) accept what you can't change, change that which you can and accept the strength to know the difference! No need arguing that which you will never change. Enough of that. What I'd like to impart is my simple family chemistry. My wife is a Baptist - raised in a Baptist Orphanage (whole stories there) and is a believer. She did not know my religi
