Iran claims it has no homosexuals, yet homosexuals make up 20% of its military, is not condemned by the Koran, and those who decry it are reflecting the evil that is Allah: originally a minor Bedouin god whose daughters were worshipped more than he was venerated and Allah acknowledged the fact in the Satanic Verses.
Jane Pitt, mother of Brad Pitt, claimed in a letter to a Jefferson, MO newspaper, that Barrack Obama supported the murder of unborn babies, reject the National Day of Prayer, and more. Was it true?
Benedict XVI has condemned millions of innocent people to a grusome death. The German pope has silenced dissenters, degraded women, and made sport of the greater share of the world, leading many Roman Catholic priests to declare that Josef Ratzinger may most likely be the last pope in Roman Catholic history.
There are two verses in the Gospel of Matthew that are directed to tombs opening, dead are brought back to life waiting for Jesus. Today we call such phenomena “zombies” and there are theologians who discount their existence, but in the South Baptist group of seminaries, teachers, researchers, and students are told to accept their existence as the fulfillment of the prophecy of Jesus. The question is if this is an isolated case in theological history or one more plagiarism fitted into the Bible.
A serpent in a garden has been a common theme of world religions. Most see the serpent as a god offering wisdom to mortals. This is not the case in Genesis, but the serpent is created out of numerous older theologies, and for a special reason: changing the stories to create a unique tale to meet the writers’ goals.
Christmas is considered a time of families being together, sharing drink, food, dance, and various pleasures–but this has never been the rule for all nor the fortune for everyone, as religions have held it captive, deprived it of its temporal joys, and denied the reality of peace and harmony.
The nation of Peru is impoverished and uneducated because of a corrupt government, church control of the state, poorly or untrained teachers, a venal military and police force that is an active part of drug trafficking, and most of all because of a odiously opportunistic Congress and the Fujimoristas in it–such as Martha Chavez. Alberto Fujimori went from an underpaid professor of agriculture to a multi-millionaire once he became dictator with the support of Martha Chavez–who denounces the families who mourn their dead executed by government paid assassins–and vows to dismantle a memorial to the children and young the national spy network (SIN) murdered in cold blood. No one is more cold-blooded in Peru than Martha Chavez and the Opus Dei archbishop of Lima: Juan Luis Cipriani who matches the bishop in Dan Brown’s book “DaVinci Code”.
What can be discovered in existing records is not only the absence of information for apostolic succession and the papacy, but equally important is the reality that most of what is allegedly Christian is far older than the Bible. Its message is found throughout the Roman Empire in earlier civilizations. The creation of the Bible was nothing less than an attempt to revise or rewrite history so as to control an ignorant people.
Suicides are the result of depression and bullying. Suicides are not spontaneous, and are a result of lack of communication, compassion, and openness. The family, religion, politics, school, and work are all factors in suicides.
The least educated, most gullible turn to fortune-tellers, star-gazers, numerologists and religious fundamentalists in quest of answers that they are too afraid to find for themselves. All religions have gazed to the stars for answers and ordained or commissioned religious leaders to provide rituals that include eating the body and drinking the blood of their crucified saviours. But why is this? This essay explains the foundations of fear and the quest for comfort in a world not known–even seeking relief from extra terrestrials.
