Nostradamus and Christianity and a Convergence of Prophecy: Part II

Always on the Edge of Their Seats

Did Nostradamus have visions and hear voices? Who cares, right? Lots of people have visions and hear voices...and many of them are mentally unstable or flat out have severe psychological disorders. 
Oh, look! More predictions. Do you think this is because all of the predictions of the past that the world was going to end in 2011, 2012, and 2013 didn't work out?

If you really want to learn prophecy the best approach to take is to learn how to lie. Lie out of your ass. Lie as big as you can and as ridiculously as you can and maybe, just maybe, some poor sap or group of poor religious saps will believe you.

Did God send Nostradamus? Rrriiiiggghhhttt.

Hahaha!! Oh my dear lord! Somebody is smoking loads of crack! Listen to what this woman says...really try to listen to the entire message because it is a hoot. Who is our real father, brothers and sisters? Hah! This lady must have been a door bell in her past life because she is a total ding dong.

Ahhh...isn't this nice? What do you get when you mix Christianity and Nostradamus? Crack.

Adam welcomes people into hell? I am not sure what to say about that. Interesting. What is with the wheel? Why not use a pentagram or obelisk or even a rhomboid? Hhahaaaa!!! Good stuff. There are alien ships all over the place? The New Jerusalem is made out of massive pillars and pearls twelve feet wide that are brought down by spaceships? Say what?

Wow. People can't seem to agree on much when it comes to the Bible, God, and Nostradamus. What does God have for us to know? I would say not much since so many people who claim to have that direct line to God all have something different to say. Maybe God is doing His Tower of Babel thing again and totally confusing the fuck out of people, hummm?

This is cherry. Nostradamus was a born-again Christian infused and filled with the Holy Spirit? You have got to be kidding me.

People Who Profess to Speak With God

Forget Tune In Tokyo:
Tune in God
For those who claim to be hearing the voice of God or Jesus or whatever deity it is they are claiming is whispering sweet nothings in their spiritual ears, maybe it is not so much that they are hearing the voice of the divine as it is they are hearing something they WANT to hear. They want to feel special and want to be pleasing to God and will jump at any chance to be spoken to by the Almighty God...even if it means they are hearing something that exists nowhere save for their own mind. And you know what else? 

If God is omni-present why doesn't He just speak to everyone all at once? And DON'T give me that, "Well, people don't always listen to when God talks," because that will not work. You say your God is all powerful and that includes making people listen. 

And don't try to pull the 'free will' card and say that God speaks and then gives people the choice of whether or not to listen. This plainly is NOT true as is evidenced by the Lord God PURPOSELY hardening the heart of Pharaoh so that the Children of Israel would not be allowed to leave. We all know what happened there...so you can't lie about it. How do you know your God (a supposedly JUST God) is not purposely hardening the hearts of people now? Hummm? How do you know whether or not your God is leading b-zillions of people to a fiery end that is the equivalent of the chariots of the Pharaoh's army being swallowed by the Red Sea...on purpose?

I wanted to add this video to this post because I really wanted to say something about what this man has to say, not necessarily because he says that God or Jesus speak to him (a claim he never makes in the video and I am not claiming he did, so back off) but because he says that there are people that get a bit un-comfy when he mentions the name of Jesus. I think his analysis of why people seem un-comfy when Jesus is mentioned is incorrect.

This man makes the statements that, one, people are not bothered by talking about God because God is impersonal, and two, people ARE bothered about talking about Jesus because talking about Jesus is just a bit too personal. While this may be the case for SOME people it is certainly not the case for all people. I will use myself as an example.

I find it is far easier to speak with people who refer to the Almighty God of the Holy Bible as "God" and who then gradually move into talking about Jesus. I have many friends who are Christian and I often participate in religious discourse with some of them; civilized conversation that is. We do not yell or shout or try to speak over one another. There is never a part of the conversation where I am told I am going to hell, or where I tell them they have taken spiritual delusion to heights heretofore unexplored. 

Conversely, I also have some friends with whom I refrain from speaking about Jesus and that friggin' cross. The moment Jesus is mentioned, accompanied by obvious intent to drag me into the demented world of What-I-Believe-Is-Better-Than-What-You-Believe, I walk away.

However, my personal reasoning for this is nowhere near what the man in this video thinks. When someone immediately begins their religious conversation (or attack in some cases) using the name "Jesus" that is a sure sign to me that absolutely NOTHING I have to say will be considered or even remotely regarded as worthy of consideration. 

In my personal experience many of the people who immediately start slinging the name of Jesus around are the ones who give a good goddamn about any other belief or opinion other than their own. Thus, conversation with them is often a futile exercise in discourse, a terribly wasted effort.

Usually within the first six words of my response ("I do not believe in Jesus.") to their initial question (usually something along the lines of, "May I share with you the 'good news' of Jesus?") the ill-fated conversation that hasn't even really been birthed from the spiritual womb yet is aborted by the well-meaning, over-zealous Christian (who sometimes just happens to be a friend or acquaintance) interrupting my answer with, "But, aren't you concerned that you are going to hell?" 

I used to try to continue such conversations and try to find a way to convey that it is okay for them to believe they way they do. It is also okay for me to disagree with Christianity and the idea that there is an all-powerful deity absolutely in charge of and controlling of everything. My opposing view and patterns of thinking on the subjects of Christianity and God and Jesus do not make me evil or liable to their God, Holy Bible, rules and edicts, or prescribed fiery consequences for NOT believing the same way.

At least with many of the people who start off the conversation using the name "God" (usually in the form of a series of questions similar to, "You don't believe in God? Why? May I tell you about Him?") there tends to be a willingness to at least lean toward agreement that there just may be another way to think or believe. Of course, this 'leaning' toward agreement that there may be other ways to believe is given under great spiritual duress, often nearly entirely revoked with the believer's final, parting comment of, "But what if you're wrong?"

I can deal with being told I may be wrong or AM wrong. What I detest is trying to dicker with someone, who, immediately after me telling them I don't believe in Jesus, embarks on some half-ass crusade to "open my eyes" and turn my heart to Jesus by informing me how sinful I am. 

Some of the alleged sins that have been pointed out to me over the years include my make-up, my choice of clothing, my profession (job wise, not faith wise), my profession (faith wise, not job wise), my education, my divorce, and the music I listen to. Many, and thankfully not ALL, of those representatives and spiritual 'yes men' of the God of infallible and enduring love who become aware of the fact I am lesbian (either by my own admission or that of someone else) go entirely bananas and immediately foam at the spiritual mouth. A few have even literally started praying over me or for me.

That is why many people walk away when Jesus is mentioned. Many people tire quickly of listening to such bullshit. Seriously. That is what has happened to me. I got tired of listening to the hen pecking and the attempted bullying and being talked over. 

Most of all, I was tired of many of these followers of the God of Endless Love responding to me with hatred, ill-placed superiority, aggression, jeers, and the most delusional sense of pride. 

So YOU might think God or Jesus talk to you through dreams or visions or mental processes or your spirit or soul. Big damn deal. Deanna Laney, Dora Tejada, LaShaun Harris, Dana Hooper, and Dena Schlosser all thought they were doing what God told them when they killed their kids.

Houston, we have a mental problem.

No, God DOES NOT speak through people BUT fear does.

Hell is a REAL Place...

So Believe in Jesus OR ELSE!!!


      Watch this entire video. It is totally hilarious! At one point the guy says that Satan is SO smart with how he persuades people and youth to fall away from God. What is it with preaches acquiring a raspy, Southern Baptist-style sound to their voice whenever they are preaching about hell? How does this guy know who is in hell and who is not in hell? Has he been there? Nope. Does he have pictures of it? Nope. What does this man think that there is a hell? Because the Bible says so.
     Hey guy, want to know what hell really is? Hell is people like you persecuting others who do not wish to believe and practice and live in the same manner as you. Hell is you trying to tell me who I may and may not love according to your Bible and your God. And dude, you totally need to bring it down a notch or you will give yourself a heart attack.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fCnQQLUJHb8

      Geeze. The things people believe in and the things people try their damnedest to hold over others. What have we done to ourselves? Have we come this far in existence to try to kill each other off because this group's invisible God is supposed to be better than the other group's invisible friend? Is that what love and redemption are? How in the fuck did this message of eternal love morph into something that people beat and destroy each other with?

     There is no such place as hell, unless you want to count Fort Bliss, Texas. I have been there and it really isn't that bad...okay, well...except for that time it was 115 degrees and the colonel insisted we practice in the desert boondocks. That was definitely hell.
     You know what is interesting is the number of preachers who attack other preachers because they feel the preachers do not preach enough of God's wrath. Shee-it. I think mankind has had enough of God's supposed wrath. Old news, buddy. 

     You know, I think it is truly funny how so many Christians are so very afraid of hell and all of the bad things in the world that Satan is supposed to be tempting people with in order to keep them away from God. What a crock. And why are these people so afraid, why?
     I have come across so many Christians who are riddled with fear of the supposed plots of the devil that are lurking around every corner. If you have this supposed love of God and power...why are you so very afraid of the world and all of the supposed bad things in it? Do you not have a will? Can you not choose good things instead of bad things?
     What better way to convert people than to convince them that their soul is hanging by a thread.

     Wow.

     Of course hell is necessary. Do you know why? Because if the deluded faiths squeezed from the sponge of Bible based religions did not have hell then that in and of itself would disprove all of the bullshit they spew about hell. Hell is a must for Bible based religions as they cannot exist without it.

     If God sends people to hell then He really ought to go back into the Bible and reassess the description of what love is and what God is in relation to that love. God sending people to hell is not compatible with God being love and love conquering all. In fact, since love conquers all it would also conquer hell, right? You do see where I am going with this, right?

     Well, what do we have here? Religious groups fighting over what the description and purpose of hell is? Are you at all surprised? So I suppose it just is not good enough for one's God to be better than the other's God, because they need to have one understanding of hell better than the other as well.

     This video is totally awesome! You've got to love how they open up with the music from those Michael Meyers movies with Jamie Lee Curtis.

     This guy sounds like someone needs to go and get his nitro pills quick because he is about to have a heart attack. When these folks preach about hell is it possible to speak in normal tones? Do you think that is possible? I do not agree with your version of what hell is. I think hell, at least A version of hell these days, is people and groups like you trying to make laws that dictate how I may and may not live according to some scripture or Bible.
     I will accept the law as it is, but I will never accept law formulated from any religious cause. Law that is formed from religion invariable ends up being compassion-less and unethical. And I am referring to compassion in law as expressed by the punishment befitting the crime. Law without compassion is tragedy and an abuse of the structure of society.

     Why in the hell are you referring to yourself as not being afraid? You are disguising your pursuit of converts  with an act of courage...which it is not. I will give you an example of courage and not being afraid but within the confines of religion as you so present: As many threats as the religious community throws at non-believers and those who would have nothing to do with the ludicrousness of the Bible many of these folks are not afraid to stand up and tell you they do not want to hear your shit.
     You stand there preaching hell-fire and damnation, threatening eternal punishment for not choosing what God and Jesus supposedly wants people to choose, trying desperately to SCARE people into signing over to your bipolar deity. Sometimes your campaign of fear works, usually with people who are truly frightened by your assertions of hell and immeasurable pain.
     Then there are the people who refuse to be bullied by such absurd control mechanisms. These people are not afraid to stand up and defend themselves and their rights from being curbed and pruned down to nothing more than sentimental writing on paper.

     Hell is necessary? Well, I suppose so. Hell serves as a great deterrent for many, those who don't want religion but who choose such, for the irrational fear in regards to their soul demands that they believe anyways.

     Preachers all over the world speak ad nauseum on the idea that even though the story of salvation and Jesus dying on the cross sound insane, surely some of such information contains actual truth and proof. Don't you want to spend eternity worshiping a deity non-stop, the very same deity that for thousands of years purposely allowed his own so-called chosen people to suffer calamity after calamity after calamity.

     God doesn't know people who aren't saved? Isn't He supposed to be omnipotent? That being the case wouldn't He know everyone no matter what they choose to believe? And another thing, since God is supposed to be omnipotent and know everything, well, that would make God a liar when He says He does not know someone.

     What is interesting is this gentleman's assertion that hell is not predestined. When I was a kid we more or less learned the opposite. Back then I was taught that all people are born into sin and (with the exception of babies and young children) everyone is slated for hell until they choose Jesus.

     The diagram of the location of hell in this video is priceless.

     So much for solidarity between the various faiths.

     Nothing like giving a sermon on hell. That type of sermon seems to be far more popular when trying to convert victims (non-believers) as opposed to preaching about love and the perfection of love.

     No. I am not going to heaven because there is no such place.
