There have been many prophets of the forthcoming catastrophe but they are not hailed and praised for their forethought—they are ignored or condemned as Jeremiahs.

Abstract

Is there any meaning in the Christian God being tortured to death on the cross? Is it meant to show to Christians what they should not do? Or is it meant to demonstrate what they should do?

Christ and His Tormentors!

Christians burn people alive: Click for 'Heresy and Inquisition'

Is there any meaning in the Christian God being tortured to death in all the brutality that Mel Gibson depicts in The Passion of the Christ? Some of us, as children, thought it was meant to show to Christians what they should not do. They said he was the God of love who urged everyone to love each other to cure the never ending bloody strife between people. His own cruel death showed exactly what he meant.

Why then do Christians not notice this simple message?
• They have committed worse atrocities than did their own God’s tormentors. •

Before you go, think about this…

Don Quixote read too many “novels of chivalry” giving him the delusion that he was a chivalrous knight. The purpose is to show that the book was an extension of the Grail romances. Many episodes in Don Quixote are modelled on the adventures of the Grail Knights, or initiation rituals. Curiously, the real name of Don Quixote is Quijano, associating him with Janus, Jano being the Spanish expression of it. His niece is called Quijana, making her Diana.

Who is God? Paul or Christ?

Give or take a few, it’s been 23777 months since the first coming of Christ ended. The Rapture can’t be long now… Can it?

The Wisdom of Carl
Humans have limitations, and no one knows this better than scientists. But a multitude of aspects of the natural world that were considered miraculous only a few generations ago are now thoroughly understood in terms of physics and chemistry. At least some of the mysteries of today will be comprehensively solved by our descendants.
Carl Sagan, The Demon Haunted World (1996)
