God Speaks to Us


Why Does God Only Speak to Those Who Believe in Him?

God only speaks to His own He-Who-Has-Ears-To-Hear-Let-Him-Hear people. Convenient, wouldn't you say?

This video here is simply excellent. This gentleman is very clear and concise in his descriptions of situations as well as his interpretations of such. I agree with him that many Christians find it absolutely hard to believe that someone can believe in God with all of their heart as a child and then grow up to think and believe differently. It is very much the same situation for me. I grew up believing in God and everything that the Bible has to say about salvation and heaven and hell. For years I thought all of the people who did not believe the same as I did were in fact going to burn in hell. Thank goodness I do not believe such bullshit any more.

Being able to hear God speak to you seems to be a requirement for every Christian. Never mind that this is a lunatic idea, but do these same people think that their belief that God speaks to them is any more believeable than your standard belief in magic or sorcery or anything of the like? The belief that God or any proposed divine being would go out of their way to tell puny and mistake-riddled human beings to do something when the divine being could simply do it for themselves...and without mistake...is preposterous.

Ahhh, the things people think they are being told by God, or by people claiming to be speaking for God.

God does not freaking speak to anyone because God does not exist. What you DO have is a bunch of people claiming to be speaking for God Who is all-powerful and omnicient, but Who decides it would be better to speak to a handful of people and then tell those people to tell the world what God told them. You would think that an all-powerful being would have the gumption to speak to everyone all at once instead of whispering to a few people who either get what God is saying ALL WRONG or who get killed or harassed for claiming God is speaking to them in the first place.

Isn't it lovely how this person or that person claims to be speaking for God while at the same time claiming that OTHERS who claim to be speaking for God are not properly discerning the voice of God speaking to them? RRRIIIIGGGGGHHHHT.

Joyce Meyer

God Gives Receipts?

     I will say this for Meyer: She has the gifts of gab and the ability to inject just the right amount of humor into whatever it is she is saying. She definitely has charisma which if you really think about it is essential for any successful preacher. Charisma goes a long way in ensuring that the congregation members will stay right where the preacher needs them to stay...in that particular congregation. While Meyer does have immense charisma above and beyond that of a majority of preachers out there in the religious world, she is edged out by pastor Joel Osteen. Osteen's calm demeanor, kind voice and lack of filling his sermons with negative messages of hell put him at the very top of the preacher charisma category.
     Moving on to our first video we hear Meyer basically preaching that you should show the devil that you will go the extra mile for God by rounding up to the nearest dollar when paying your tithe. Hah! That is pretty novel. Who wants to be seen as someone who does just the bare minimum, the lowest requirement? The way Meyer puts it you would think that not rounding up or not tithing more than what is required is a sign of an obstinate and stingy believer. What a crock of shit, Meyer. And you preach with that mouth?

     Here we go again with religious people attacking other religious people who are popular. Joyce Meyer is amazingly popular and much like Joel Osteen and Kenneth Copeland who also have amazingly large followings she is picked at by others within the faith. I bet many of those doing the picking are just green with envy at the amount of money that many of the preachers they speak out against make on a consistent basis. This envy is hidden in, disguised as faithful followers of Christ simply trying to disrobe those clothed in the garb of a false prophet. The funny thing is...ALL of them are full of it.

    Jesus Christ in a chariot driven sidecar...every preacher of every religion in every denomination have asserted at some point or other that THEY have been called by God. The crux of her message is if you continue to tithe you will be taken care of by God. You may not get the new clothes or the new car or the new house, but by Jesus and Mary, God will make sure what you have will last. Any doubts that you have about tithing is just the devil come to try to peel you away from the faith and the law of giving. This is a test. This is only a test of the spiritual broadcast system. Had this been anything other than a test it isn't God but the devil. Don't forget to sign your name on the check and for whatever amount you put down Jesus is commanding you to add two zeroes.

     This is a delicious hoot! Of course you know as well as I that while a preacher may be silver-tongued and quite convincing, it is the individual who believes that horseshit who must shoulder some of the blame. It is the person who allows themself to believe such poppycock who is, in the final analysis, responsible for their condition of spiritual slavery.

     Holy shit! I am in the wrong business! A ten thousand square foot home? Homes for the kids? All bills paid by the ministry? Oh man, no wonder why so many people become preachers. They are swimming in cash! I suppose it really does not matter how many people speak out against these folks because in the end there are always the spiritually inept in the world who are all too willing to give their money to these phonies.

     This is interesting. I grew up steeped in the Christian faith and what Meyer is preaching here is totally otra de la Biblia. Of course, the way the Bible is written you can put just about ANY MEANING YOU WANT to anything that is written in the Bible. That is the terrible beauty of religion. You can change it to fit the people and the times and even make it fit the politics. Three cheers for religion...rah rah rah!!

     This is so goddamn jacked up. Since when did receiving equate with receipting? What the hell kind of bullshit is this? Since when do people do good things with the belief or intent that somewhere down the line when they need something they can 'cash in' whatever it is they have done in their lives to get what they need? If that isn't some fucked up and severely twisted doctrine I don't know what is. When you do something good you do it for the sake of being good and not for the purpose of receiving something back.

Fred Phelps

When Religion Becomes Pathological

     If you have not heard of the infamous Reverend Fred Phelps you very likely live under a religious rock. Considering the absolutely ugly nature of this man, someone who is supposed to be a man of God, you will find it very difficult indeed to refer to him as a reverend.
     This group is a hate group, plain and simple. There is ZERO message of love within this group. I can only imagine the severe psychological ramifications of raising a child within this horrible gathering of people who do not in any way seem to worship God or Jesus, but rather worship hate and violence.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iMgmxJat2FM

      This is the first of seven videos that shed light on the dark rhetoric and behavior of a religious group that is entirely steeped in hate, violence, and disgusting treatment of anything or anyone different from them or their ugly and deluded interpretation of the Bible.
     I only included the link to the first video. If you wish to watch the other six videos you will see them pop up on the right of the youtube screen when you watch the first video.

     This is an interview given by one of the sons of Fred Phelps. I find his story very interesting. I respect that as 'out there' and aggressive and violent as his father Fred has been, this man, his son, did not villify Fred Phelps and did not go off on tangents of what some of the repercussions of the group's aberrant behavior has been on the people and communities affected by such violenct faith. He simply talks about some of the things he went through and the effects such things had on him.

     This is hilarious. Fred Phelps says that Anderson Cooper is an evangelist for Satan and that Cooper is an all-out servant of the devil. Fred Phelps is so far out there he is in realms of outer space that up to this point have not yet been discovered. 

     This was too funny to not put in the blog, so I did.

     What the fuck is this old codger babbling about? Divine appointment? Sparrows and farthings and no sparrow falling to the ground? Say what? This is an incoherent tangle of verses and random statements.

     Oh dear lord...listen to the bullshit this woman is spouting. Legislative Taliban in Iowa? 

     Wow. God sent a hurricane to damage the United States because people spoke out against the prejudiced fundamentalists of the Westboro Baptist Church? Listen to what this nut says about 9/11 victims, our soldiers that die in present conflicts, and even the unbelievable rant he gives on the President of the United States. This man is a true tragedy.

     Oh look! Here we have the spawn of Satan...I mean the spawn of Fred Phelps. Just as nutty ho-ho as his pappy. How terribly sad.

     Here we have the Crypt Keeper trying out for the lead role of Reverend Fred Phelps in the upcoming movie called "Should Have Given Him a Higher Dose of Lithium."
