THE TRIAL OF JEHOVAH, CHRISTIANITY'S GOD. PART 5.

Image
Who are affirming that their religion is based on the teachings and Gospel of the historical person called 'Jesus Christ.'  A man they, the Christians, also alleged or affirmed is 'The Son of their God, Jehovah.  And went on to affirm that this Man, Jesus, was the only begotten and 'true' Son of their God, Jehovah.  And that this historical figure, who no human has ever seen, except in their imagination, for over 2000 years.  Was born to one Mary Magdalene, the wife of one Joseph, in a manger in the little Town of Nazareth.  By the unique process of 'divine conception', after the Spirit of their God descended on her.  If this were so, it would then beg the question: Was Mary Magdalene seduced by the Spirit of the God of the Christians?  And, if so, did she, or, more pertinently, could she have consented to her 'divine seduction', or was she not given an choice on the matter?  Had Jehovah broken any laws by seducing Mary

AM I AN ANTI-SEMITE, OR BEING ANTI-SEMITIC? PART 1.

'Like other forms of racism, antisemitism can be used as a malicious defensive and offensive political and state tool, with which to unjustifiably bully attack others.' Recently members of the government of Israel, including its Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, described the Polish people “suckle antisemitism with their mother’s milk.” ' In effect, the government was asserting that the Polish people have been reared from birth as 'Jew haters.'  There has also been previous occasions when Prime Minister Netanyahu have insinuated, if not actually accused European governments, including France and Germany, of being 'antisemitic', if not actually 'antisemites.' Now, with antisemitism having been a common feature of European social, economic and political life for centuries, and with the Holocaust having occurred in the incubator of Europe.  It is probably not surprising that members of Israel's government should hold su

With the kind of brutality which they have sought to embrace, as the conduit through which they hoped to achieve 'paradise.'   Instead, let us welcome them back into the fold of ' our secular civilisation.'  Where the pursuit of happiness, the rights of the individual and cooperation between different peoples, in this life.   Are given priority over the religious aims of humans and their beliefs about the gods, they and us are socialised into believing exist.  A world where humanism, the doctrine of the primacy of humans and humanity, prevails over that of theism, or the belief in the power of the invisible gods.  A world, a hell, in which men continue to deny themselves and the realisation of their potential to be more compassionate, in preference to endeavouring to prove the 'greatness' of their clearly powerless and impotent gods. And as for Shamima Begum and her baby; what does the British government and its Home Secretary t

THE TRIAL OF JEHOVAH GOD FOR ALLEGED ADULTERY. PART 4.

Image
Well, what I have said so far, in setting the context, is quite relevant to what I am about.  Which is the need for the Church, for all theistic religions, to accept and demonstrated accountability for what they are promising their followers and humanity.  For the gospel they have been preaching and teaching. For them to explain themselves and demonstrate the logic, the lawfulness and the morality of which they have been preaching.  Especially in the age when the heads of their religions are being called to account. Though not by their gods, but by their fellow humans.   For the abuses and crimes which have been and, in some cases, are still being committed by members of their clergies and followers. It is in this context that I pose the question of, did God used his supposedly diving authority to seduce Mary Magdalene, the wife of Joseph?  And, if he did so, would he have had, in the context of the law of humans, committed adultery? So, this trial is taking pl

JUST A THOUGHT - ON THE SHAMIMA BEGUM SYMBOLISM AND JESUS CHRIST. PART 7.

'Us humans, like other living creatures, live and then die, and there is nothing beyond our deaths, as far as self-consciousness goes. Whatever value we give to our living and to others, do not, for us, have any impact beyond our death. Make the best of your life and do not waste it on the gods, who exist only in our imaginations.' To behold the happiness of other humans, because they are feeling safe, secure, and are able to express themselves, without causing harm to others.  Is not something which would displeases any but the most malevolent of the gods.  Which would, of itself, make such a god unworthy of being served by compassionate humans.  Because, just as how it is said that a people 'deserve the leaders they have', so, also, do men make their gods into their own image. With evil and hateful men, making their god or gods like themselves. So, coming back to the Shamima Begums of our world. They have made their mistakes, as the restles

JUST A THOUGHT - ON THE SHAMIMA BEGUM SYMBOLISM AND JESUS CHRIST. PART 6.

It really is not about young people like Shamima Begum; it is about the virulence of religion; its ability and power to destroy the development and exercise of people's sense of personal responsibility and critical thinking.  And probably even worse than that, is the 'legitimisation' which society has given to religion.  The fact that society has allowed, legally and morally, religious faiths to promulgate and practice their fictitious doctrines, as if they were based in fact.  Have allowed them to perpetrate dangerous and detrimental frauds on people.  The same kind of fraud which is responsible for Shamima and others like her to give herself to ISIL, believing that she was doing something worthwhile for 'her religion' and for 'Allah.'  And, in so doing, completely missing the point that, her, like the focus of all the 'faithful', should not be to be doing this and that for 'her religion and Allah.'  Unless wh

'At a time when mortal humans who was formerly held in high esteem, are being called to account for the wrongs they have done in the past.  Should not the gods of the theistic religions also be called to account for the wrongs they have done to us mortals?'   Believing, as the early Christians did, that it did not matter what became of our earthly human bodies. And that what really matters was and is the 'saving of our souls.' Being the highest assumed representatives of God, the early priests, the Popes, Archbishops, Bishops, the Patriarchs, et al.   Whether they are or were the earthly heads of the Catholics, the Protestants, the Russian, Eastern, Greek, Romanian or other Orthodox Churches.  Were considered to be above 'the laws of man', of human, and therefore not accountable to it.  At least, prior to secularism making great inroads into displacing the dominance of what could, rightly, at the time, be called the 'spiritual paganism&#
