And some believers in Creation wonder why people scoff at them?

Try the newest book that questions the Pentateuch:
http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=ester+lighthorse

Pay Attention to WHAT You are Saying and HOW You are Saying it

Not too long ago I was watching a video on Youtube that showcased various opinions of those who believe in Creation and what they thought of those who do not believe in Creation. They seemed to be absolutely puzzled, some even genuinely confused as to why non-believers often react to Creationist claims with laughter, disdain, disregard, and sometimes anger. So, I decided to put together a few of the video links that just may help a few believers to understand what it is that irks the non-believers off so very much when it comes to discussions of the Creation.

Creationists want to know why people laugh at them? Fine. Here it is in a nutshell: Do you people ever listen to half of the shit you say? Do you even pay attention to half of the things you are claiming to be truth or science? Do you bother to research your claims? Do you bother to research many of the things non-believers say before you decide to take a statement or handful of words and twist them into new and unintended meanings? Do you fully investigate the various areas of science that you seemingly love to misinterpret on command? Do you even know what evolution is, because it has nothing to do with some of what you are claiming.

Take a peek at these videos. Pay attention to how these folks sound. Do YOU sound like this when you are plugging your version of how everything came to exist?

I think my favorite argument here is #2. You can't prove evolution but you can prove a giant, all-powerful invisible friend poofed everything into existence? And just WHERE did this information come from? Oh...old religious texts written by folks with an amazing array of superstitions and misconceptions and seriously jacked-up beliefs?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SSxgnu3Hww8&list=RDpn2xATgzPqI

Hah! This is good stuff, a very interesting and entertaining way to present the idiocy of much of the Creationists argument.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qO9IPoAdct8&list=RDpn2xATgzPqI

Oh, look! When you can't answer the question what do some Creationists do? Well...they DON'T answer the question and go way the fuck off on tangents. Talking goddamn cats?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SIy_DDr8Nyw

I have heard this argument before. Hilariously, deliciously funny to actually hear in person. Maybe this fellow ought to study up on why comets and meteors are shaped the way they are before he goes and makes a complete ass of himself as he tries very hard to prove the imaginary really does exist.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gOljxvPmpI4

Do many Creationists love to twist facts or what? The guy in the beginning makes it sound like scientists are stumbling over each other in a rush to deny the plausibility of Evolution. Then you get to see the REAL numbers of what he is claiming. So interesting.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2kCu8ZTdAiE

I really like what this video has to say about population projections and how the numbers just are not possible when it comes to the Bible's version of events. The biblical arguments just do not follow through and establish any kind of valid foundation when it comes to how the earth was populated.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xlv2LDhwSOU

In this video my favorite argument is #1, the God of the Gaps argument. So ridiculous, right? If you cannot explain it it MUST then be attributed to God. Yikes. Is that your honest line of thinking you are presenting as valid reasoning process? Oh, and what this video has to say about God and morality is just as excellent.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xfZFsXfCy6s

Get a grip. Science is not faith. No no no. Never was and never will be.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7iQ-lNZZ6-8

Oh dear Jesus. Hovind is the epitome of the willfully ignorant, willfully idiotic, willfully dishonest and willfully misinterpreting Christian. Sir, you and people like you do your faith/religion a great disservice every time you open your mouth to make bizarre claims.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uvprBLhJx_o&list=PL73427E1565432D2C

Don't you just LOVE Christian misinformation in the process of purposeful misinterpretation? Do you like the part of what this Christian fellow left out about what Darwin thought about his own theory?

Our DEAR Pal and Christian Brother Kirk Cameron

Try the latest book Turkey Broth for the Spirit: Just a Few Questions which questions the Pentateuch:
http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=ester+lighthorse

Kirk Cameron and Pal Ray Comfort:
Warning! Some Christians are Bigger Morons than they Appear!

     I would very much like to get my hands on one of the remixed copies of Darwin's book that was passed out by Cameron and Comfort. These men seem like they are likable enough until they start spouting off about religion, right? The steadfast belief that Christians and only Christians are correct is pure insanity but these guys cannot see this to save themselves.
     Lord forbid that anyone should think or believe differently than Comfort and Cameron who are so deluded in the surety of their faith that they badly twist facts and horribly distort the truth in a stumbling attempt to bring more souls to Jesus. Good luck, guys. You'll definitely need it.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M0FyHgJ3tgU

     You know, in the first part of this clip Cameron actually manages to look smug, a far cry from the cute little chubby-faced kid in Growing Pains. Don't you just love Cameron's false analogy of the camera and the human eye?

     Oh...my...God! This woman is AWESOME!!! I totally need a girlfriend like her.

     Howard Stern...I love you. You have a way of putting things that can make the dead laugh, holy shit! I love listening to you! Stern is absolutely correct...Cameron has not been denied ANY right. Any. Not one. I totally agree with Stern when he infers it is great that some people find religion but not so great that these same people feel compelled to expose the rest of us to it as well. Robin says, "Don't you want to learn everything from a TV actor?" Hah! Excellent!
     Here at some part of the broadcast Cameron says only God can change the heart of the person to be moral. ? WTF? So, I suppose David Koresh, Jim Jones, the Millerites, Jimmy Swaggart, Jimmy Bakker, and all the other delusional within Christianity are on the right track to morality? P-shaw. Again, I agree with Stern when he asks why is it so important for Cameron to try to change all of us to his version of thinking?

     Cameron wants your children to be taught what he believes in public schools? Hell no. Nope. If it ever came down to that I would sell a kidney to put my kids in a private school that DIDN'T teach such bullshit.

     People professing to be Christian did this to the gay community. Nice. How would those same Christians appreciate gays going into their church or neighborhood and doing the same thing...except for the OTHER SIDE of the argument?

     Ray Comfort and Kirk Cameron totally dissed by a fellow preacher.

     Here, Cameron tries to use huge and amazing facts in an effort to stymie you into believing his own version of truth which is more of a delusional assertion of faith. This man seems to take great joy in making himself appear as an ass to as many people as possible. Nature is observable proof that Cameron and Comfort BOTH are idiots.

     Cameron is so full of shit. Why does he make it so easy to prove he is lying? Much like the question of how many licks it takes to get to the center of a Tootsie-Pop, the world may never know.

     This is absolutely hilarious! These two idiots are an excellent argument for sterilization.

     HHaaahahaAA!!!! Oh, JESUS!! You have to watch this!! Out-freaking-standing!

     Hah!! This stupid fucker totally gets the founding documents of this country all fucked up. Total moron douchebag.

     Hebrew republic? What the fuck are you talking about, Cameron? A republic by definition is a form of government where the country is a public matter and not the property or concern of the rulers. Read the Old Testament and you will find NO SUCH THING as a Hebrew republic. The God of the Bible ran every facet of the Israelites' lives and the horrible track record of this God in relation to the terrible hell the people (who were supposed to be his chosen people) suffered is evidence as to the non-existence of this supposed Hebrew republic. The God of the Bible gives two shits and a mother fuck about what people want as this God only wants what benefits Him, right? Praise and glory and worship. That is what the God of the Bible is all about.

      So...if I want a builder to do something for me I need to have faith in him? Uhm...NO. I want to see references and examples of his finished work, fuck the faith. I am not going to pay this builder or even consider giving him my business unless i am one hundred percent sure that he can do the work I need to be done. Faith has no place in something like building anyways. Are you going to have 'faith' that the building is according to code and earthquake-proof requirements, or are you going to hire a guy who you know FOR SURE will get it done the way it needs to get done?

     Hah! Comfort is hilarious when trying to answer the question posed him as to who made God.

     Again, Comfort makes no goddamn sense as he tries to give an answer that is in correlation to his screwy beliefs AND that trumps atheism at the same time. Doesn't happen. Comfort's dancing answers as to God and the creation of evil only serve to solidify the stupidity of the Bible and its God.

     I love the comment in here as to Cameron and Comfort being two of the finest fifteenth century minds. It is absolutely wonderful how these assholes try to validate their absurd beliefs by trying to make scientists look like they do not know what they are talking about.

     This video opens with the typical behavior of Creationists using and abusing comments by others in an attempt to prove the ridiculousness of the Bible. And, look! An orangutan is proved to hold and express more intelligence that Comfort and Cameron put together times ten.

     Here Cameron asserts that evolution is male chauvinist and racist...never mind that that describes Christianity perfectly. Oh yes. The pathetic opinion of women as expressed in the Bible is not worth the thin rice paper it is printed on. And yes, quote mining is the life-blood of Christianity and almost all attempts to prove such rubbish true.

     The statistics presented in the beginning of this video are not very comforting, are they? People are not demanding scientific reform because if they do that then more and more people will fall away from the stupidity of religion. Then, where will the perceived power of the Christians go? Right down the toilet. Then, they will not be in charge of they things they are in charge of and people will stop listening altogether whenever they claim that their rights are being taken away.

What is Acceptable Behavior for Christians?

Divine Privilege and the Perks of Wholly Holy Hypocrisy
By: God the Self-Righteous

The just live by faith. That is what Martin Luther, founder of the Lutheran Church would have you believe. What does such a screwy statement mean anyways? The just live by faith? It’s like saying the steak will cook by itself. Never mind that this was Luther’s own personal interpretation of the Holy Bible, but whose version and interpretation of the Holy Bible is correct? 

There are simply far too many versions of what is considered the ’truth’ and far too many opinions of what path an individual must pursue in order to cement their eternal salvation with Jesus Christ the Savior. Since you humans can’t seem to come up with a proper interpretation of salvation in plain language without distorting my original meaning I will explain it again, without any ’verily’ or similar crapola that you love to misinterpret.

First and foremost, the main issue here is salvation. For those of you who do not understand or know what salvation entails I will give you the most simple and easy to understand explanation. Bluntly put, salvation means that instead of going to hell in a hand-basket like the majority of humanity no doubt will your soul will be re-united with Jesus up in Heaven.

It is absolutely, one hundred percent imperative that everyone understands that salvation is for believers only. However, it is not just for any old believers, but for Christian believers. As a further however it is not any old or ordinary Christian believers who will become neighbors of Jesus Christ up in Heaven. Only those Christian believers who very strictly follow the Word of God are saved and sent to Heaven. It is at this juncture that it must be understood that actual salvation will vary from denomination to denomination, being wholly dependent on a particular church group’s dogmatic interpretation of the Bible.

A key issue that a majority of Christian denominations focus on in addition to salvation is the behavior of an individual who believes in Jesus Christ the Savior. Allow me to be as frank with you as possible, and at the same time understand that my descriptions and explanations are in no way, shape, or form intended to offend anyone. Now, you may be the most polite person in the world. You may be a citizen who devotes every waking moment of their life to helping everyone around them with whatever it is they need. 

You may even be someone like Mother Theresa or Mother Theresa herself. I really don’t care and it doesn't really matter, because if you do not believe the acceptable version of the Holy Bible and the acceptable truth about salvation, if you do not believe in the acceptable version of the Gospel, if you are not up to date on what it is exactly you are supposed to believe in…guess what? You’re screwed. Your pansy little ass is going to hell; so dress for warm weather.

Anyone out there in the world, in reality (or whatever it is you wish to call your limited existence) who does not believe in the precise and required manner is going to burn in hell…forever. This will be the case with everyone no matter how well they behave or how good they are as individual people. The Lake of Fire is not a joke! The Holy Bible of God’s Word, mind you I mean only the qualified interpretation of the Holy Bible, is very specific in labeling the Lake of Fire as a real place, a real threat and not a joke.

Now, on to discussing being a real, actual, valid, and true believer of Jesus Christ the Savior. Always keep in mind that I am referring to qualified believers only when I say ‘believer’. If you are a qualified believer you are forgiven of your sins no matter what. Interestingly enough, you may not think so and the society you live in may not think so, but the fact remains that criminals who convert are forgiven. This is absolute and all encompassing no matter the criminal or his or her committed crime. 

Jesus Christ the Savior absolutely loves criminals who convert. Thieves, thugs of all types, murderers, and drug addicts are forgiven since they understandably have no control over their own lives with either drugs or stupidity at the helm of their existence. It is the duty and responsibility for all believers to pray for criminals who convert. Think of it this way: The harder the drug and the crime, the harder the believer should pray for the converted criminals whom, unbeknownst to many, Jesus Christ the Savior privately refers to as, “My little penitentiary lambs.”

It is essential to know that salvation is permanent and eternal. If you do not believe this then I suggest you find the verse in the Holy Bible (the acceptable version) that states once you are in the Father’s hands, you are always in the Father’s hands; no one can snatch you out. Not even you can snatch yourself out of the Father’s hands. It is equally essential for all true believers to understand that a shift in belief from a qualified Christian ideology to anything even remotely contradictory to the same automatically revokes existing salvation in it’s entirety. 

In addition, any change in belief in the one, true, male God immediately revokes salvation. Other actions that will result in immediate loss of salvation include, but are not limited to: homosexuality or lesbianism, pre-marital sexual relations, communication with non-qualified believer individuals to include family members and friends, failure to accept the interpretation of the acceptable version of the Holy Bible as so stated by a qualified believer preacher or priest or religious leader, failure to conform to current and acceptable norms inasmuch as qualified Christian believer behavior is concerned, and any conceivable practice of witchcraft, wizardry, magic of any type, tarot cards, tea leaf precognitive practices, and any and all types of occult actions.

When associating with individuals who are qualified believers it is important to devise and organize sufficient game plans for interacting with individuals who are not qualified believers. Whether or not you anticipate your interaction with a non-believer to be on your own it is of the utmost importance to practice your interaction tactics. First, you must practice picking on and berating non-believers. You must always start with the most obvious subject which is the lifestyle of the individual you are picking on. Like a cat that finally corners it’s rodent quarry you must pounce on every conceivable issue. If your quarry wears designer clothing, hairstyles, or make-up be certain to harass them with such comments as, “Oh, so spending money on how you look on the outside is more important than tithing the Heavenly Father?” 

Witty and snide remarks such as, “Where did you get your coat of many colors? Bloomingdales?” are equally acceptable. If at all possible infuse your comments with actual biblical text such as, “So, that fact that God clothes even the lilies of the valley is not enough for you? You feel the need to put aside His provisions in exchange of worldly goods?” The validity and sense of your remarks really makes no difference so long as you keep in mind that the sole purpose of even making the comments in the first place is to cut down, demean, berate, harass, destroy, pick on, and aggravate any non-believer at anytime and anyplace. This is your qualified believer’s duty.

Once you have pissed-off a non-believer to the point where you have their full attention you must turn up the heat. Be firm in your knowledge and cite very loudly that the non-believer is going to hell. Be vicious in your attack and tell the individual that everything they are doing in their life is wrong. Always pick heavily on personal flaws and downplay any positive character traits to include philanthropy, education status, good parenting, and any positive motivations and actions be they social, personal, or otherwise. Be quick and surly in informing your quarry of their mental and spiritual inefficiencies and shortcomings. 

The angrier the non-believer you are picking on becomes the more self-righteous you should be. Ask the non-believer why they think they have nothing to defend or worry about? When they make an attempt to answer your question be sure to talk over them and drown them out by loudly touting, “God doesn't take excuses. He takes souls.” The non-believer before you should be quite close to fever pitch anger at this point of the conversation. Now you must move in for the kill.

Say to the non-believer, “Obviously you know you are doing something wrong, otherwise you wouldn't be so defensive and angry!” When the believer counters with, “I didn't ask to hear your bullshit in the first place!” be sure to say, “Hey, you either are or aren't saved and going to Heaven. If you really want to go to hell that badly, knock yourself out.” As you turn away from the non-believer be sure to say in your most sincere voice, “I will pray for you. I will pray that you see the light and love of God before it is too late.” Usually your final comment will be more than enough to drive the non-believer reeling into a fit of anger-driven hysteria.

Ordinarily, many victims of the self-righteous qualified believers state that the only reason qualified believers pick on the people around them is because anyone who believes differently is considered to be a spiritual risk and lethal to the souls of humanity. The truth of the matter and the truth of what the non-believer has to say makes no difference whatsoever. 

Great care must be taken to ignore the non-believer’s response, for once a qualified believer allows their conscience to care for the truth they are immediately drawn into the age-old, non-believer argument of whether or not the so-called validity of Christianity is actually divine, spiritual, and inspired truth. If not, doesn't that automatically invalidate the totality of the proclaimed truth of Christianity that all qualified believers claim? Once you, oh qualified believer, are drawn down and sucked into this argument, regardless of any modicum of truth within it, you might as well put your face between your ass-cheeks and kiss your soul and eternal salvation good-bye.


It is in closing that the greatest danger to every qualified believer is revealed: Devil created loneliness. All qualified believers must be made highly aware that the Devil is just as tricky now as he was the day a secret religious council dreamed him up eons ago. 

Loneliness is one of the most terrible and horrid social diseases to suffer from. Interestingly enough, loneliness is at the top of the Devil’s list as a means by which to separate the qualified believer from their eternal destiny with Jesus Christ the Savior. The Devil is sure to inundate the qualified believer with a deluge of loneliness via means of separation and alienation from friends, family members, and pretty much the rest of normally functioning society. 

It is therefore up to the dedicated and qualified believer to remain true to Jesus Christ the Savior and not forsake the Word of God. Finding a way to weather a lonely, emotionally devoid life of religious smugness is not an easy task by any means. However, if a qualified believer sticks to his or her guns of spiritual superiority they will find that God will lead them by the hand through the bleakness of their empty and deserted lives. Amen.

Pat Robertson...AGAIN

Son of God or Son of a Bitch?

     Stop talking about the cheating man? He is a man so such behavior is to be expected? Doesn't the cheating man provide a home and food? Males have a tendency to wander so what a wife needs to do is make the home so wonderful that the man will not wander?

     I want you to listen closely to what Pat says in response to a 17 year-old young man's question on how to help fix his parents' marriage. Pat starts off pretty good and offers what is sound and reasonable advice. It does not take very long for the brain connected to Pat's mouth to begin offering what is in all reality super fucked up comments. 
     Now, if the question by the young man is in fact a real question sent in and not some kind of stupid religious skit Pat should be utterly ashamed of himself (although we know he won't be). The young man obviously loves his parents and cares deeply for the relationship between his parents, and he is asking Pat for advice to make things better...not pointers on how to stir the pot in the relationship.
     The hope that is implied in the young man's question that Pat can help is completely smashed by Pat's out-of-this-world stupid comments. Pat, you have created an entirely new level of stupidity and disrespect.

     Soooo, apparently Pat has made a connection between a lack of education and the ability to witness miracles. The problem, according to Pat, is that education gets in the way of people seeing miracles for what they are...miracles. He is more or less saying that stupid people are the ones who can see miracles.

     The comments Pat makes here are so utterly fucked up that you gotta wonder why the lambs of the world follow this mother fucker in the first place.

     Pat is a fine example of how jackass former vice-president Dan Quayle will behave and sound like in about another two decades. So, here Pat says that Islam drives its believers to kill and maim and destroy. Oh, and he said it was demonic as well.
     This comment is one of the best examples of Christians and representatives of Christianity conveniently forgetting how their faith also drives believers to kill and maim and destroy. 

     Pat Robertson solidifies his place in the stupid bigot hall of fame by advising a Christian young man to leave his Muslim girlfriend as she is not likely to convert to Christianity. Pat, you sir are fucked in the head.

     Hummm...Pat seems to be struggling with the idea that men are not the only sex that watches porn.

     So, Dungeons and Dragons is a game that is demonic and destroys lives? You know Pat, considering the behaviors and dogmas of many in your brand of faith the very same thing could be said of Christianity. It too is demonic as it possesses many of its followers to intentionally act horribly. Not only that, but human history is very matter-of-fact in providing example after example of Christianity destroying lives.

     Haaahahahhaaa!!!!!! Pat has now completed his very own circle of stupidity.

Jesus is One Funny Guy!

Now You Know for Sure God Does Have a Sense of Humor


I like the bit in this clip when Pastor Joel Osteen asks whether Jesus was black of white when He said, "Buenos dias." Good stuff!

It's Richard Pryor! You gotta love this guy. No one could pull this off like this guy does.

This was truly a creative remake of the hit song. I like the part where they ask, "Hey, wasn't that Tim Tebow?"

Delicious fun!!

Haahaaa!!!!

Isn't this the truth of how many steeped in religion approach science?  You would think that the power of the most supreme being ever could overcome such. Whatever. I suppose the Almighty must have limits as well, even if those limits do happen to be actual science. He didn't think this stuff through real well when He invented it all, did He?

Outstanding!

His invisibleness? Hah!!

You know, the pretty little myths of the Bible simply make no sense whatsoever. This little cartoon is an excellent example of why a story such as the Flood of Noah is pointless and stupid.

This is a mighty fine example of one of the worst arguments the religiously deluded repeatedly attempt to try to use in an effort to make sense of their nonsense mutterings and scriptures.

This is one of the most bad ass, hilarious stories EVER!!!

That's right, answer these questions with real answers and none of that pretend crap. And no circular reasoning either. On, and none of that because the Bible says so bullshit. Give a real answer that offers true validation of whatever screwy story it is that you are trying to prove.

HaahHHaaa!!!

Oh dear LORD!! HAAh!!!!

That is absolutely correct, folks. Noah and his pretty little ark never freaking existed except in the delusional mind of the individual who made up such a retarded story in order to explain their version of God. I also thought it funny that the sons of God found the human females so becoming. Did God neglect to make adequate mates for them and maybe that is why they thought the human ladies so hot?

EXTRA! EXTRA! READ ALL ABOUT IT: God will allow anyone into heaven so long as they use their freewill to choose God



Can freewill and predestination be rectified? No, they cannot. Freewill must exist free and clear of any known and set outcome. Now, freewill can exist right along side of knowing a variety of possible outcomes, but the outcome itself must not be set. But that is not the only problem with the idea of predestination.
There is considerable conflict between predestination and the notion that God is just and merciful. If God, who is supposed to be a just, merciful, and loving God, has everybody's life all set and ready to go even before they are born then this God is anything BUT just and merciful and loving...Because what kind of God predestines babies to be born addicted to 
crack or heroin? 

What kind of God predestines thousands of people to die
 horrible deaths at the grubby paws of a handful of psychopathic religious extremists who decide to jack some passenger airliners and fly them into buildings? How about WWI and WWII, the numerous attempts (and some times successes) of genocide, little kids that die terribly from the cancers that ravage their bodies, or people who are beaten to death because of their sexual preference or the color of their skin?  


 Any religious faith that says God gave man freewill and then stipulated a Believe-This-Way-Or-Die ideology for man to follow is not in any way, shape, or form indicative of a healthy belief system or of freewill. 

Such a belief system does not encourage proper thinking patterns, and neither does it encourage good social interaction by demanding converts go out and try to convert others with horror stories of Armageddon and a very pissed off Jesus.

Go to this link for the true story of Noah's Ark:


 
You know, the stupidity of religion can be so obvious. Does God really hate the gays and lesbians of humanity? No. This is just something self-righteous, deluded, uber-religious trolls say in a seriously half-assed effort to try to make themselves and their particular set of beliefs look better than all the other beliefs out there. ANY faith or belief system that teaches hate on any level is not worth the time of day nor the problems it creates.

And while those religious folk out there who just love to 
draw deep lines of separation in the sands of faith hold their signs of hate high above their heads, be sure to remind them of that part of their scriptures that does say that love is patient, kind, everlasting, understanding, and conquers all... because conquering all does include gender. If love really is all of these great things and is such a great power, and it is, then God is also the same way, right?



For the real book of Revelation go to:

And what does it say in certain
 scriptures in regards to God and Love? Why, it says that God IS Love. So, follow that line of reasoning and you will see why God cannot possibly hate gays and lesbians, because if Love conquers all, and if God is Love, then guess what? God also conquers all...to include gender. People can try their hardest to try to twist scriptures to fit their hate, but it does not make what they say truth. The Holy Bible is supposed to be a sword of truth, but it isn't. Yet, people still swallow such crap every day.



According to many, the Holy Bible is supposed to be the actual Word of God as so related to specific people, prophets, or apostles who were supposedly under the influence of God. And how do people know that the writers of the scriptures were under the direct influence of God? Why, because they say so in the very same text that they supposedly wrotewhile under the influence of God. What do you know...it is the original D.U.I. Deluded Under the Influence. And, people take such as truth.
 
There are very serious problems with this line of 
reasoning. No outside sources whatsoever are utilized.The writers of the Holy Bible use what they have written as the validating factors for what they have written. Well, isn't that nice? It is truth because we say it is truth. And God forbid if you should question what they say is truth, because then you are being actively poisoned by the Devil.

Keep in mind, if you offer a differing opinion or point of view these very same people will ask you for proof, actual, factual valid proof for what you believe. And they certainly will not take, "Because I hold it to be true," as a
 valid answer. 

Ask a religious individual how they know Jesus is the Son of
 God, that God created man, that Jesus died for the sins of all men, that the Immaculate Conception is real, that Jesus walked on water, that Jesus performed amazing miracles, that Jesus rose from the dead, and that in order to not go to hell you have to believe exactly as the Bible says? What answer do they give you? "Because it says so in the Bible, God's own Word and instruction."

However, tell any such individual that you believe in reincarnation, communication with spirits, healing powers, second sight powers, powerful visions and dreams, the use of chants and spells, the study and use of magic through personal understanding of metaphysics, tarot cards...any such thing or anything even remotely related and you will find yourself attacked from every angle on each one of those beliefs. 

And, if you try to tell them that you also have literature/scripture that teaches and speaks of such things as very, VERY real you will find not one shred of truth is allowed or extended to your beliefs or related literature. It will not matter how many ways you try to put it that everything you believe in is in your specific belief's literature. It is your basic 'do as I say and not as I do' bullshit.
 What that basically translates to is the typical double standard that is practiced and preached the world over.

   
check out:

Imagine if the FDA (Food and Drug Administration) allowed medications onto the market based on that same screwy line of reasoning. It would go something like this: Company 'X' is selling a new drug for depression and it is one hundred percent safe because the people who invented it and who make money off of it say it is safe. No outside testing or studies are used or needed. Anything any other company is selling is not appropriate for consumption no matter what studies have been done.



Why do so many people fight over what they believe to be the truth in regards to faith and God and salvation? It is because in many people there is a deep seeded desire to have something others do not have, to have aspecial answer or way of life or belief that makes them better or more correct or more special than the next person or set of beliefs. And maybe it is also an absurd desire to interpret some things as meaning ANYTHING other than what they are really intended to mean.

And the sad part about it is that you will never be able to convince such people of the ridiculousness of their claims. It is something they absolutely must see for themselves. Unfortunately, not only are their heads as far up their asses as they can go, but they have their eyes and minds clamped shut to anything contrary to the relative safety of their deluded, segregated faiths.

The tendency for many individuals or groups to abuse the natural desire of a person to try to understand things of a spiritual nature is an affront to the intellect of man. Now, some people will label such a statement as Devil inspired poison. Whatever, man. What freaking ever. The real poison is the extent of abuse of the ideas of God, religion, faith, and the continued abuse of those who elect to abstain from believing 
such fairy tales as truth.
