Say what you want so long as you are speaking for God?

It is utterly amazing the mountain of bullshit that some people are ready and willing to spew forth in the process of claiming to be speaking for God. 

Don't let prison salvation happen to you. If you know anyone currently in prison immediately contact them and tell them to stay away from the 'Good Book'. Of course, this is an example of religion gone really REALLY wrong, and not all believers are like this; thank God for small favors, right?

Oh...my...God. Here is a fine example of of a person using their faith to perpetuate their prejudice. Sooo...interracial marriage is a defiance of God's law? I think it is very interesting how some believers really go the distance to pick and choose which of God's laws they should or should not follow. If God's word is true why don't they follow them all?

What the hell happened to the message of love and prosperity and happiness and giving? Matthew 19:21, Luke 18:22, Mark 10:21, Proverbs 28:27, Luke 14:13, Luke 11:41 are just a few verses that discuss giving to the poor. Does this man know this? Does he know that Mark 14:7 says the poor will always be with you?

Ahhh, Cindy Jacobs. You gotta YouTube this woman and watch a couple of her videos to get a real, true feel for her spiritual and mental apoplexy.

Apparently, God has it out for the state of Maryland. Why is this woman screaming while she is giving her supposed message? Is the screaming supposed to make her more credible that she is speaking for God?

Here we find out that God has anointed the state of Alabama for the purpose of reversing the liberal judicial decisions in these here United States of America. And why has our judicial system made such liberal decisions in the first place? It turns out that good 'ole Satan contaminated the justice system as part of a dastardly scheme to foil the plans of God Almighty.

Jesus Christ! I am so freaking tired of hearing about some grand poo-bah judgment on America. Just shut the hell up...please. Our problems as a nation and a people have nothing to do with some divine being meeting out punishment. We have problems because we are human and need to work harder at finding solutions to the problems. It has absolutely DICK to do with God or Jesus or Satan or anything even remotely similar to such hogwash.

The hateful rhetoric that consistently flows forth from John Hagee's mouth is a fine example of why many people are so anti-religion. Does Hagee know that if he wants to convert more people to Christ that this kind of behavior and speaking is not conducive to adding to the flock of Jesus?

With a God like Him, who needs enemies?

Look, God does not care. God does not care about you, your family, your community, your nation, your culture, or even this planet. Since God does not care about such things it follows out of necessity that God would also give a frog's fat tush about offering any kind of protection to anyone, regardless of whether or not such an individual believes in God to begin with.

Life is what it is, right? We are conceived, born, live a bit, and then die. Everyone dies eventually. Everyone. This fact along with the reality of people who die far too early in their lives, children being murdered, people starving people, people blowing each other up, babies born with severe maladies and deformities, and so on and so forth, such things are great indicators that some great, invisible, all-powerful divine entity (assuming there is such an entity) gives a good goddamn about anyone or anything. Come to think of it, maybe God's give a damn is busted...just like in that song by Jodee Messina where she more or less says that she would like to give a damn but her give-a-damn is busted.

I suppose one of the biggest issues I have with the ridiculous Christian assertion that God cares for and protects Man are some of the verses in the Bible itself, terrible verses of God commanding genocide, allowing rape and incest, commanding burglary, and time after time and again exhibiting an extreme disregard and disrespect for human life. God is a horrible being in every way imaginable, especially when it comes to rendering punishment which more often than not punishes EVERYONE and not just the individual who does something displeasing to God.

Let's take a peek at some videos, shall we?

Who could have ever guessed that God gives so much consideration to politics and policy? A bigger question is why would God remove protection from people who are not even the ones who are FOR abortion? What is the deal with punishing everyone? Why would this great and all-powerful divine being who cares so very much for all of humanity and this nation punish the entire nation by removing His protection? Not all of the freaking people here agree with abortion, so why should their protection be removed? Why would they have to pay for someone else's terrible deed or someone else's disobedience toward God??

This guy is right. Why would some kids be protected by God and some not be protected?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=062dC8hPDP4

Well, this would be a great way to prove God exists, right? I mean, if you believe in Him then according to His word you can drink poison and pick up snakes and He will rescue/be with you, correct? So DO IT, oh ye believers. Do it. Drink some arsenic or hollyhock or pick up a viper or rattlesnake. You could prove God with one swoop. But the catch is that ALL who drink the poison and pick up the snakes have to be saved. There can be none of this God saving these five or six or seven people and letting another five or six people die from the snake's venom or of the arsenic sandwich they ingested.

What have we here but some fine examples of God being protective of His believers/people. NICE.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m12mZiiaWuw

Ohhhh yeahhhh. We are here in this mega gargantuan universe where for some reason or other a great God cares specifically for humankind...screw all other planets and whatever life may be upon them.

I like this video because, simply put, it is beautiful. Just...beautiful. Yet, God (at least the God of religion) has dick to do with anything pertaining to this beauty. Beauty exists outside of religion. In fact, I would say that in many cases religion has worked purposely and feverishly to destroy many of the things and people around us that are beautiful. "God doesn't make mistakes" sounds nice, but in reality it is nothing more than the staunchly religious trying to explain away the idea that if God was so ever loving perfect babies would not be born with Down's. It is just another way to explain away the utter imperfection and incompetence of God Almighty.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vrH43xiFpPE

This is excellent!

Sooooo...when people don't get into trouble for the bad things they do it is simply God being gracious? Huh. Interesting. I would have thought it had nothing to do with grace and everything to do with having an imbalanced nature and process of dealing with the consequences of actions that are frowned upon either by God or men. Well, that or God does not give a damn.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ss8L9yA3zl0

Oh no no no. No. You cannot try to answer this question by trying to say there is a difference between God before He became Jesus and the God of the New Testament. Ooohhhhhhh no! Your own damn Bible says God is the same today as He was yesterday and evermore. Your own Bible says God is unchanging and has always existed. Remember in Genesis when God creates Man, God says, "Let US make man in our image and after our likeness." Thus are the holes poked into your answer. All of the expressions of God always existed and so the idea that the so-called incarnation of God to Man through Jesus Christ is what changed things up just will not wash.

You Have GOT To Be Kidding

Christianity's Love Affair with Insanity

Lovely. This mother is teaching her child the finer art of manipulating facts, distorting the truth, and misrepresenting Creation as any kind of valid, logic-based, scientifically-based theory on how the universe and everything in it came to be. Making things worse, she says that this Nation was founded on Judeo-Christian values and the nation is going down the tubes because of the removal of prayer from schools. What do you say to something like this? How can you find a way to show parents who teach their kids like this that they are damaging the critical thinking skills of their children, that taking idiocy and presenting such as truth is NOT conducive to healthy development in many ways?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DH_wPUVlJ38

This is disturbing. These people are taking lies and misinterpretations and presenting such to these little children, little children who are trusting everything that they are hearing from their teachers.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9PF6O9g6kYE

I grew up under many of the very same limitations mentioned here in this video. It was very difficult growing up with these types of limitations and fears bombarding me every single day. I was often singled out by teachers when I went to public school because they were told I could not participate in certain holiday crafts due to religious beliefs. It was horribly demeaning to be the one little kid all by herself in the classroom while all of the other little kids were happily cutting out decorations to paste on a paper Christmas tree.

You're kidding me, right?

What the f*ck? This is so highly inappropriate I do not know where to begin.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EDkgIsAGpdU

This is disgusting and hateful rhetoric spewing from the mouth of a man who is supposed to be leading people to the love and grace of God. This is utterly abominable behavior. If you want to believe in God power to you, but you gotta be kidding me if you want to believe that God/Jesus would actually encourage this behavior or encourage the suggestion of putting gays and lesbians behind electrified fences.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uu4q2-nbvrw

Is this something Jesus would do or recommend doing?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9l9zHxju03Q

A pastor did this to his son? His son? Oh dear God. Dear dear God. And to think these people who behave in such a hateful manner truly believe they are doing God's work/bidding/commands.

This woman and her entire family and congregation are seriously fucked in the head.

Another fine example of the stupidity of some Christians. President Obama is not the friggin' Anti-Christ, right? According to many interpretations the Anti-Christ is a person who brings about great peace and prosperity and cooperation between the nations of the world, a veritable miracle worker. If Obama WAS the Anti-Christ he would have great, if unusual, accomplishment and success in his policies, programs and the like. He does not, though, does he?

God: Charlatan and Abuser of Faith and Love

Well, I'll be!! God does the atheists and all other non-believers a favor by disproving...Himself.

     I subscribe to several Christian blogs in an effort to better understand the half baked ideologies of any faith founded on the Bible. One of the messages that was sent to me contained a link that tried to assert/prove that while love conquers all...love also hates. I clicked on the article and read the entire thing, and then read it again. Here is the link to the article: 

http://www.churchleaders.com/pastors/pastor-articles/168183-love-hates.html?utm_source=newsletter&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=clnewsletter&utm_content=CL+Daily+20130614

     The article is truly appalling as it shamelessly presents the idea that love and God both hate. The way this article tried to validate the emotion of hate as a sign of love is truly indifferent to the reality of love.

"Love is an act of endless forgiveness, a tender look which becomes a habit."

-Peter Ustinov-

     The manner in which the author tries to validate her claim is perverse and offensive to everything that comprises what love is. In short, the author points out a verse in the Bible that says God is love, but then completely turns around and says that since God hates, then out of necessity love also hates.

"Being deeply loved by someone gives you strength, while loving someone deeply gives you courage."

-Lao Tzu-

Quoting the verse Psalms 11:5 which says, "The Lord examines the righteous, but the wicked, those who love violence, He hates with a passion," the author seemingly neglects the many Bible verses that proclaim God as love. Following that is the neglect to recall that love is supposed to be all-powerful, THE most powerful force in the universe since God is, after all, love. And isn't God enduring? And isn't love patient and kind and everlasting and faithful and persevering and unlimited, and so on and so forth?

"It is love, not reason, that is stronger than death."

-Thomas Mann-

Nothing can ever degrade, damage, harm, hurt, modify, mutate, stunt, defy, insult, or even diminish love. Love is THAT powerful. Love is supposed to be THE superseding force EVER. So, considering that I want to know how the author of this article came to the screwy conclusion that love hates. I don't want to hear any bullshit about the semantics of some twisted verse out of the Bible either. Give me a reason based validation.

"A fool in love makes no sense to me. I only think you are a fool if you do not love."

-Anonymous-

The idea that love would falter or change in its position or change its core character of solid and pure forgiveness is nothing short of stupidity. Even better is the fact that this claim disproves God. Hah! God is love and love is God. God is eternal and so love is eternal. There are no limits on God. There are no limits on love. Listen closely all ye of twisted faith. Hate is a LIMITING factor that cannot even touch love with a ten foot pole. You can't say God is love and love is God and that both are eternal...and then turn right back around and claim hatred. What is wrong with you? When you do that you are admitting God does not exist. If love does not exist God does not exist. If hate is manifest (in deed or thought or action) then clearly love does not exist. You cannot have it both ways. God either is or is not everlasting love. There are no timeouts. There are no vacations. There are no variations.

"If you would be loved, love and be lovable."

-Benjamin Franklin-

Another part in this article tries to offer as evidence Old Testament verses that note God hates things such as robbery and wrongdoing, yada yada, plucka plucka. But this is also a stupid approach because God sure as hell did a lot of robbing and wrongdoing in the Old Testament. What did the children of Israel do as they left Egypt after the ten plagues? Why, God instructed them and allowed them to plunder the Egyptians. What they took from the Egyptians did not belong to the Israelites...but remember GOD allowed them to do this so it must be okay, right? 

What about the so-called promised land of God's chosen people? Those lands already had people on them but God took it and 'gave' it to His people. And what about what God did to Job? The list goes on and on and on with example after example of this infallible God of love acting in a very hateful manner just to get His way or to get revenge. So, you do see where I am going with this, correct? God hates wrongdoing. Robbery and murder and all such things are wrong deeds to do. God has committed robbery and murder. God must then hate Himself.

"A loving heart is the truest wisdom."

-Charles Dickens-

I read the quote below and was struck with the reality and fierceness of hate within religion. Christianity is the hypocrite of hypocrites. There is no message of love to be found in this demented God and His abused Son. This can be easily proven just by considering the vile behaviors of some people professing to be Christian. Actually, like the person who wrote the article I am bitching about here. Looking for a loophole, a reason, anything that will serve the purposes of religion.

"We never know we are beings till we love. And then it is we know the powers and potentiality of human existence."

-Jean Toomer-

What is interesting is that with the absolute terrible character and behavior in the Bible on the part of God, Christians are in a way forced to make up some bullshit exception that will allow hate into the shepherd's flock. Why? Because the stupid bastards must explain away the cruelty, malevolence, crookedness, evilness, and hideousness of God's character, they HAVE to make an excuse for God.

"Whoso loves believes the impossible."

-Elizabeth Barrett Browning-

Christianity is well known for its repeated assertions that God and the Bible and Jesus all say that there is no hope for mankind, that man is only good for fighting and killing, that the only cure for man is to initiate global disasters, heinous crimes against humanity, and a mega war that will eventually culminate with Jesus bursting into the picture riding on a white horse with an insanely large army of angels all set to destroy absolutely everything. And that is how you know that God does not exist. 

God is supposed to have known everything even BEFORE He supposedly created everything. That being the case He would have known how this grand plan of His would end and out of love for man would do something about it. Out of sheer necessity God would have been required to behave and act and command lovingly. He completely FAILS to reconcile love with mankind, instead opting for untold violence and destruction. Such actions are devoid of love. If there is a void due to a lack of love...there is even a bigger void than that since God doesn't exist. And you DO realize that love CAN exist without God (and it DOES) but God CANNOT exist outside of love, right?

"Love is the only sane and satisfactory answer to the problem of human existence."

-Erich Fromm-
