The Morality of the Christ?
by Daniel G. Jennings

The basic idea behind Christianity is that "God" somehow turned
himself into an ordinary man named Jesus Christ and lived and worked
here on Earth as an average person. Christians and their apologists
present this belief as profoundly moral and proof of "God's" superior
morality. The question we should ask ourselves: is the basic Christian
belief, that of the "God-man," really a moral belief or not?

My answer is that this belief is not a moral one because Jesus Christ,
the God-Man described in the Bible (if he really existed), would be a
liar, a fraud and a sadomasochist. Obviously a liar, a fraud and a
sadomasochist couldn't be an example of superior morality or
"Christian" values. So there is no real morality in the story of
Christ as presented in the Gospels.

Jesus would be a liar and a fraud because if he were God, he could
never be an ordinary person. No matter how hard Jesus worked at being
an ordinary person, he would still be God because he could in the
blink of an eye change everything. Jesus wouldn't be a man, he'd be a
God playing man. If Jesus went around telling ordinary people that he
was a man he would be a liar and on some level a fraud. Jesus Christ
wouldn't be a man, then, he'd be a fraud, a hollow mockery of
humanity.

Worse, Jesus would be a sadomasochist, that is a person who enjoys
inflicting pain and suffering upon himself. By experiencing life in
First Century Palestine in all its glory, Jesus would be inflicting
pain, torture and violence upon himself. He even allowed himself to be
whipped and tortured to death by the Romans. Such behavior isn't an
example of morality, it is an example of psychotic behavior.

If experiencing such suffering himself wasn't bad enough, Jesus chose
to let others suffer along with him. Jesus not only enjoyed pain and
suffering but he made sure everybody else suffered as well.

Would anybody consider a doctor who had the drugs needed to cure a
painful disease but refused to use those drugs on his patients, then
injected himself with the bacteria which caused that disease so he
could feel his patients' pain, a moral or a great person? Of course
not. Such a doctor would be arrested, stripped of his license and
quite probably committed to a mental hospital.

Yet that's exactly what the Jesus Christ described in the Bible was;
he had the power to end all human suffering, but he didn't use it.
Instead he experienced that suffering himself and then arrogantly
claimed moral superiority because he was sharing people's suffering.

The God who walked on the Earth as a man would not be an example of
higher morality. He'd be an example of lunacy and mental illness. And
since God is supposed to be perfect, God couldn't be mentally ill. So
whoever or whatever Jesus was, he couldn't have been an omnipotent
God. Since Jesus wasn't God then what was he? Most likely Jesus was
just a man who suffered from some sort of mental illness.

Since the basic belief behind Christianity is not a moral one,
Christianity cannot and should not be seen as a faith that encourages
real morality. Instead it should be seen as a faith that discourages
morality by promoting a set of beliefs that encourages its adherents
to teach falsehoods as the truth.

You obviously have no life experience, since that's not what happens at all.

If patients cannot pay then they don't get treated in most parts of the
world. The Bible tells it like it is when we see the old girl handing over
her life savings to doctors who don't know how to help her any better than
the next man.

They are all a bunch of sharlatans, and their morals are worse than hookers,
who will give freebies occasionally.

I heard of something called Hookers Doctorin', and I thought that was about
right.

They can take their hypocritic oath and shove it up their collective

'Constance' is one of those anti-doctor Christians. You know the
kind. There the ones you always read about in the news - the ones who
starve their children to death or refuse to give them medicine because
they think they know better. In other words, she's a kook.

Constance is assuming that you are a doctor. In case you haven't
figured it out by now, Constance is a nut who thinks her God can save
children from disease better than a doctor. She's the type of person
you see in the news all the time; the kind that refuses to give
medicine to her kids, and they end up dead. Her excuse? "It's God's

A lot of things done by this evolutionary world are in conflict with
evolution.

Evolution says we got here by survival of the fittest, and evolutionists go
on to create the welfare state, which does the opposite and immediately
tends to the dereliction of the human species.

At least Christians are more internally consistent.

Jesus was no socialist.

A socialist would NOT have fed the hungry and clothed the naked.

A socialist would have expected the Government to do it.

A capitalist would be the one to take humanitarian responsibilities into

What does your weird ideas on eugenics say about men like Stephen Hawking?
He's a lot smarter than you, but in some odd Neo-Darwinistic world you think
people like him should die and be supplanted by tough, hardy, low IQ
football players who can provide more big, strapping healthy babies... This
is exactly why Spiritualism will never be supplanted by atheism. Eugenics
and this type of Nazi spawned Pseudo-Darwinism is too cold, too calculating
and too rational. Even nature is not this cruel. Many animals show a lot of
altruism. Dolphins for instance save human beings from sharks or from
drowning. Vampire bats feed those who are too ill to get out and feed. A
group of African Elephants just went in to a well food-stocked stockade in a
game preserve and released all the antelopes herded there by park rangers!
No one can say why. I could name a half a dozen other examples of nature
contending with your views of Darwinism. Again, it is not "Survival of the
fittest" as in who is the strongest, healthiest or most aggressive, but
which species FITS into a niche better than another. Like rats survive
because people don't live in sewers and eat crud. Birds survive because they
eat grubs and hard seeds that we find unfit for our diets. They are prone to
disease, cancer and predators, just like we are. But they have their niche
and we have ours. In ours we HELP those who are suffering. For God's sake.
At least have some pity in your heart for those who you think are wasting
space!

Totally irrelevant. My point is that our medical interference with the
natural selction process does not strengthen our genetics or our immunity.
That is my point and it is true. I am not contesting whether we should care

I suggest that Christianity can't solve a single worldly problem and is
largley responsible for many of them.
It's actually much more than a suggestion - it's a compelling theory.

Check out Robert Arking's article, "Aging: A Biological Perspective,"
in the current issue of American Scientist:

http://www.americanscientist.org/template/AssetDetail/assetid/28346

Now look very carefully at the chart in Figure 2 on page 3 and notice
the dates and longevity rates.

The rise of science and the weakening of religion is directly
responsible for a higher quality of life in the world today.

Nope.

You clearly did not look at the chart.

Here it is again:

http://tinyurl.com/yq57

My statement regards a higher quality of life thanks to science:
"improved public health, including sanitary sewers and clean drinking
water".

While it is true that this improved quality of life has led to longer
human life, religious institutions fought against the benefits of
science for centuries, resulting in an average life expectancy between
35-40 years, if one was lucky enough not to die in childbirth or
before puberty. The history of the Christian Church is a painful,
primitive, superstitious commentary on pure evil masquerading as
"truth". Medical doctors were forbidden to cure patients because
everyone knew that disease was a "sin", and God's will could not be
countered:

"...sickness was "regarded as the finger of Providence. God used
illness for a multitude of higher purposes...as a punishment..." [9].
Disease "was routinely interpreted as the consequence of sin, crime,
or moral fault, as precipitated by evil spirits, or as the work of
black magic. Disease was thus personalized and given a moral or
religious meaning." [10]. Doctors would also have declared the healing
power of Christ in the world, and that Antimony, prayer and fasting
were the sole cures."
http://www.homeoint.org/morrell/otherarticles/antibiotic.htm

Under the guidance of the Church, doctors neither cured patients nor
provided relief from pain and suffering. There can be no greater
example of evil in the world than the Christian Church prior to the
reclaiming of classical knowledge destroyed by those who pretended to
be represenatives of "God" and "Truth". And once the knowledge of the
pre-Christian scientists like Hippocrates was reclaimed and put back
into practice, a higher quality of life was the result. The victory
of knowledge over dogma, was the victory of science over religion.
Science improved the quality of life for everyone and longevity was
one of the benefits that the public reaped from unfettered, free
inquiry. Show me the benefits civilization has realized from the
tired tenets and dog-eared dogmas of the Mother Church and I'll show
you a pile of rotting corpses, condemned to an early death.

Then why is this person helping the discreditation along? Apparently
religion doesn't self-discredit enough for the atheists...it needs some
violent pushes here and there. I wonder when the atheists get in power,will
they burn eight year old Christian girls at the stake just for being
Christian and having caused so much trouble in the world? Or maybe they'll
just stick 'em all in Gulags. Re-Education camps?

Again, religion self-discredits. You have made that clear in your own
posts. Take your history of dishonesty, for example. In one post,
you claim you aren't a Christian and you aren't posting to
proselytize. Yet, in another post you talk about worshipping Christ
as God. You consistently contradict yourself in post after post.

Quality of life means more money to spend on food and luxuries, and labour
saving devices devised by scientists. In America, which has the number one
quality of life, this has resulted in large numbers of people being morbidly
obese. Their life expectancy is not large, much larger is their expectancy
of getting diabetes and having their feet amputated. We have science, not
religion, to thank for those foot amputations.

Religion, has nothing to say about the capitalistic persuits that employ
many Christians. Capitalism is what consumes the earths finite resources.
The most gluttenous of all consumers are the Americans. <5% of the worlds
population sucking up 25% of the worlds energy. They owe their standard of
living and their superpower status to cheap energy. It's tough however for
the americans to stay at the top and this is why it is critical for the US
to secure their lifeblood supply. Hence the erroeous war in Iraq where the
US pre-emptively does what it wants to secure access to the finest and
second largest supply of oil in the world. All of this can be done blatently
under the guise of Christian thought where god is always on the side of the
US and the rest of the world is evil and must be dealt with. Its rather
sickening actually that god should have such a role in so many wars.

Yes I can and will be glad to tell you my friend.

A person who hates god declared war on this news group some time ago and now
anything goes.

Be careful to whom you set yourself in agreement with when it comes to
spiritual things.

Here's a scripture for your consideration.

Then stood there up one in the council, a Pharisee, named Gamaliel, a doctor
of the law, had in reputation among all the people, and commanded to put the
apostles forth a little space; And said unto them, Ye men of Israel, take
heed to yourselves what ye intend to do as touching these men. For before
these days rose up Theudas, boasting himself to be somebody; to whom a
number of men, about four hundred, joined themselves: who was slain; and
all, as many as obeyed him, were scattered, and brought to naught. After
this man rose up Judas of Galilee in the days of the taxing, and drew away
much people after him: he also perished; and all, even as many as obeyed
him, were dispersed. And now I say unto you, Refrain from these men, and let
them alone: for if this counsel or this work be of men, it will come to
nought: But if it be of God, ye cannot overthrow it; lest haply ye be found
even to fight against God.

(Acts 5:34-39 KJV)

Really? That's the propaganda spred by Grizzle Guts and Vera 666!

A victim of Grizzle Guts wrote to me. (Name and other identifying
facts are snipped as a result of fear of reprisal by Grizzle Guts, Vera 666
and their band of COWARDLY THUGS!!!)

THEIR NEXT VICTIM COULD BE YOU!!!!

#############################################################

................Contention-It's a spirit he relishes in and though they say
they block, he calls it his punishement, then he writes to them on a regular
basis, there has never been a time I have seen him block anyone for real, it
is just to appear as though he has authority, or so he believes, and to weed
out people that won't do as he says.

I had a letter where he wrote ******** but he didn't know ****** was my
friend, he told ***** that even in the begining it amazed him how he could
tell people to do stupid things, how he could come up with something wild
and they would follow him, he gets a kick out of it.

....... if he really believed in God then he could never do what he has done
to people, I am not talking about the letters, lies, or manipulations or
such you see on group. I am talking about hurting people very deeply and
causing them to flee from the Lord Jesus. Once there was a lonely but very
lovely lady, we spoke in emails a lot, she left and would never come back to
acc. I think she gave up being a Christian because Griz and the crew had
told her that she showed (griz told her this first) that she showed no
evidence that the HSpirt was within her. It hurt her very badly.

This coming from a drug addict that lives like a hermit in the mountains of
Canada and works a few months out of the year picking up trash, no he is not
a camp councelor! He is a liar and a manipulator, I saw posts on google
where people all over the ng sites like Supernews and such talk about the
tyrant of ACC, he LOVEs it. :(

In any event, I tried to tell her that indeed the HS was with her because
she called to Jesus to be Lord of her life, and growth would come with time,
but as she told me, more letters from the discerning Godly Griz came and
from the crew as well, it destroyed a new Christian, she felt unworthy and
unable to go to glory, all because of the like of a ng. And the constant
Fervent emails, I first met him years and years ago and sometimes he would
pop up in my msn, and wanted me to talk sex with him, he is a porn addict,
not converted as he says, he still does it as often as he did before,
repents and goes awhile without doing it and then does it again and repents,
a cycle. I like Fervent though, he is a nice guy, but part of the
destruction crew. I pray for him and for Griz and the rest, but I hate to
see them continue in their destuction of some mighty fine people. :(

I feel that Christians, no matter where they go in life, even a pc, impact
people, if you wouldn't say it to their face why say it to them on a pc? We
are responsible for how we act, each word is written in heaven, so why then
do the things this building crew does?

I was literally cursed at by Vera, a supposed sweet and innocent Christian.
Whom uses that web site of hers to read and record others by the way, she is
trying to get an email system setup, that she will have access to so they
can use peoples personal emails to keep them inline or destroy them I
imagine, yet she says she will only have the master password, well isn't
that just the same as having the password to your mail? Sooner or later they
will get people to use her email service, just imagine the destruction!?

Griz is a mastor manipulator, he uses the Holy word of God as if he wrote it
just for him, just so he could be leader. No one discerns but he either. If
you do not follow him or show any ideas that you might not follow him, he
may not-I believe because of my posts about him- do this so much on group
anymore, as he does in emails, and threats. I have many a time been the
target of them, they do much harm to people in Christ and to people that are
not in Christ yet, you would think they surely would run far away .....
Advantage is what he looks for, and it seems ludacrous that we are talking
about a ng, a person on a pc. But people are hurt or harmed by him, even
from a distance, God sees it though, and someday he will answer for what he
has done. .....
the bashing you get is not fun. Your lied about, threatened with him
calling your isp and the government to say lies about stealing identities or
using your pc to gather personal info like social security, or spreading
harmful virus' and such, there are no lengths this man won't go to. ..... He
goes on and on until you get tired of it and move on somewhere else. Or he
destroyes your character online with anyone he can email. ...I consider this
man dangerous, slanderous and harrassing! ... does he have the right to see
me lied about, to slander my good name, and harrass me .... or whatever it
might be? Emphatically, NO> ..... I am glad to see you two trying to stop
Griz and cohorts! Someone needs to, Lord knows I tried but I didn't have
enough people to back me, my friends think it is a waist of time. He keeps
all letters and stuff and threatens to expose you, one of his many talents.
...... (Lord knows how many identities he and his crew have-he admitted to
me once, and so did some other of them) ..... I pray you do well ......
funny, he always said that God said if you are not heard move on ..... all
the tireless attempts to get him off my back. I just love to love the Lord
and talk about what he does in my life, and he ruined it for a lot of us. He
says GO because "insert bible quote here"...yet he never takes his own
advice even when scripturally shown his mistakes, all he cares about is he
is some kind of SAGE for the AGES on acc and ruler of all people that are
"TRULY" in Christ. I feel sick when I use the name Christ and his in the
same line :P

If you don't go your called demon possessed -he discerned. Do you want to
know a little about what he did to my character? It hurt me very
badly................. he ruined me basically, through email to other people
and had some people pretend to be my friends so they could gather info. He
does this a lot.......be very careful.

..... I was a fool when he first came here and I believed as a new born
again Christian that he cared and was more wise than I was ....Would love to
see him eat some of what he has done to me and others as reward for his
destructive service. Can't say that I didn't forgive him because I did and I
stayed and tried to get along with him at least enough to remain. So when
that failed he destroyed my character and made everyone feel sorry for
little ol' me, and lied. Though I had forgiven him, I still am a human, he
deserves some of what he dishes ........ Another person destroyed by the
building crew! ....

................Contention-It's a spirit he relishes in and though they say
they block, he calls it his punishement, then he writes to them on a regular
basis, there has never been a time I have seen him block anyone for real, it
is just to appear as though he has authority, or so he believes, and to weed
out people that won't do as he says.

I had a letter where he wrote ******** but he didn't know ****** was my
friend, he told ***** that even in the begining it amazed him how he could
tell people to do stupid things, how he could come up with something wild
and they would follow him, he gets a kick out of it.

....... if he really believed in God then he could never do what he has done
to people, I am not talking about the letters, lies, or manipulations or
such you see on group. I am talking about hurting people very deeply and
causing them to flee from the Lord Jesus. Once there was a lonely but very
lovely lady, we spoke in emails a lot, she left and would never come back to
acc. I think she gave up being a Christian because Griz and the crew had
told her that she showed (griz told her this first) that she showed no
evidence that the HSpirt was within her. It hurt her very badly.

This coming from a drug addict that lives like a hermit in the mountains of
Canada and works a few months out of the year picking up trash, no he is not
a camp councelor! He is a liar and a manipulator, I saw posts on google
where people all over the ng sites like Supernews and such talk about the
tyrant of ACC, he LOVEs it. :(

In any event, I tried to tell her that indeed the HS was with her because
she called to Jesus to be Lord of her life, and growth would come with time,
but as she told me, more letters from the discerning Godly Griz came and
from the crew as well, it destroyed a new Christian, she felt unworthy and
unable to go to glory, all because of the like of a ng. And the constant
Fervent emails, I first met him years and years ago and sometimes he would
pop up in my msn, and wanted me to talk sex with him, he is a porn addict,
not converted as he says, he still does it as often as he did before,
repents and goes awhile without doing it and then does it again and repents,
a cycle. I like Fervent though, he is a nice guy, but part of the
destruction crew. I pray for him and for Griz and the rest, but I hate to
see them continue in their destuction of some mighty fine people. :(

I feel that Christians, no matter where they go in life, even a pc, impact
people, if you wouldn't say it to their face why say it to them on a pc? We
are responsible for how we act, each word is written in heaven, so why then
do the things this building crew does?

I was literally cursed at by Vera, a supposed sweet and innocent Christian.
Whom uses that web site of hers to read and record others by the way, she is
trying to get an email system setup, that she will have access to so they
can use peoples personal emails to keep them inline or destroy them I
imagine, yet she says she will only have the master password, well isn't
that just the same as having the password to your mail? Sooner or later they
will get people to use her email service, just imagine the destruction!?

Griz is a mastor manipulator, he uses the Holy word of God as if he wrote it
just for him, just so he could be leader. No one discerns but he either. If
you do not follow him or show any ideas that you might not follow him, he
may not-I believe because of my posts about him- do this so much on group
anymore, as he does in emails, and threats. I have many a time been the
target of them, they do much harm to people in Christ and to people that are
not in Christ yet, you would think they surely would run far away .....
Advantage is what he looks for, and it seems ludacrous that we are talking
about a ng, a person on a pc. But people are hurt or harmed by him, even
from a distance, God sees it though, and someday he will answer for what he
has done. .....
the bashing you get is not fun. Your lied about, threatened with him
calling your isp and the government to say lies about stealing identities or
using your pc to gather personal info like social security, or spreading
harmful virus' and such, there are no lengths this man won't go to. ..... He
goes on and on until you get tired of it and move on somewhere else. Or he
destroyes your character online with anyone he can email. ...I consider this
man dangerous, slanderous and harrassing! ... does he have the right to see
me lied about, to slander my good name, and harrass me .... or whatever it
might be? Emphatically, NO> ..... I am glad to see you two trying to stop
Griz and cohorts! Someone needs to, Lord knows I tried but I didn't have
enough people to back me, my friends think it is a waist of time. He keeps
all letters and stuff and threatens to expose you, one of his many talents.
...... (Lord knows how many identities he and his crew have-he admitted to
me once, and so did some other of them) ..... I pray you do well ......
funny, he always said that God said if you are not heard move on ..... all
the tireless attempts to get him off my back. I just love to love the Lord
and talk about what he does in my life, and he ruined it for a lot of us. He
says GO because "insert bible quote here"...yet he never takes his own
advice even when scripturally shown his mistakes, all he cares about is he
is some kind of SAGE for the AGES on acc and ruler of all people that are
"TRULY" in Christ. I feel sick when I use the name Christ and his in the
same line :P

If you don't go your called demon possessed -he discerned. Do you want to
know a little about what he did to my character? It hurt me very
badly................. he ruined me basically, through email to other people
and had some people pretend to be my friends so they could gather info. He
does this a lot.......be very careful.

..... I was a fool when he first came here and I believed as a new born
again Christian that he cared and was more wise than I was ....Would love to
see him eat some of what he has done to me and others as reward for his
destructive service. Can't say that I didn't forgive him because I did and I
stayed and tried to get along with him at least enough to remain. So when
that failed he destroyed my character and made everyone feel sorry for
little ol' me, and lied. Though I had forgiven him, I still am a human, he
deserves some of what he dishes ........ Another person destroyed by the
building crew! ....

My statement regards a higher quality of life thanks to
"improved public health, including sanitary sewers and clean
drinking water".
And that's how you define "quality of life?" LOL.
In 1800, yes. You don't know how to read, do you?
I'm quite proficient at reading. It seems, though, that you could
use a course on thinking.
Fallacy of nothing but objections, noted. Again, thanks to science,
quality of life has improved. Longevity is a result of a higher
quality of life. This is all due to science, not religion.
Fallacy of calling everything a fallacy of something or other, noted.
Quality of life means more money to spend on food and luxuries, and labour
saving devices devised by scientists. In America, which has the number one
quality of life, this has resulted in large numbers of people being
morbidly
Post by Uncle Davey
obese. Their life expectancy is not large, much larger is their expectancy
of getting diabetes and having their feet amputated. We have science, not
religion, to thank for those foot amputations.
Best,
Uncle Davey
Religion, has nothing to say about the capitalistic persuits that employ
many Christians. Capitalism is what consumes the earths finite resources.
The most gluttenous of all consumers are the Americans. <5% of the worlds
population sucking up 25% of the worlds energy. They owe their standard of
living and their superpower status to cheap energy. It's tough however for
the americans to stay at the top and this is why it is critical for the US
to secure their lifeblood supply. Hence the erroeous war in Iraq where the
US pre-emptively does what it wants to secure access to the finest and
second largest supply of oil in the world. All of this can be done blatently
under the guise of Christian thought where god is always on the side of the
US and the rest of the world is evil and must be dealt with. Its rather
sickening actually that god should have such a role in so many wars.
Steve Zodiac
I don't think that oil was the reason for this war, directly.

It's not that we need their oil, we can do a great deal with rapeseed oil,
if we could even be bothered to change one leetle excise law so that
governments could still get their PRT from bio-diesel.

It's more that they are our sworn enemies, (atheists and christians alike,
they see atheism as an extension of christianity) and therefore what makes
them rich gets ploughed into hurting us.

Would you rather have a rich enemy or a poor enemy?

Saudi Arabia knows this, hence to stay rich, they try to be friendly.
Nonetheless the extremists in their own camp are even willing to topple
their own Royal family in order to gain control of the resources and dictate
policy as to how the funds from these resources are used, and then we can
expect a lot more nine-elevens.

The Islamic view of God is very different to the Western view of God, so
much so that they want to attack and fight us. Shall we defend ourselves or
not?

Best,

Take the aspect of "submission" for example. Christians talk about

Post by Disbelief is the Ultimate Value
The Morality of the Christ?
by Daniel G. Jennings
The basic idea behind Christianity is that "God" somehow turned
himself into an ordinary man named Jesus Christ and lived and worked
here on Earth as an average person. Christians and their apologists
present this belief as profoundly moral and proof of "God's" superior
morality. The question we should ask ourselves: is the basic Christian
belief, that of the "God-man," really a moral belief or not?
My answer is that this belief is not a moral one because Jesus Christ,
the God-Man described in the Bible (if he really existed), would be a
liar, a fraud and a sadomasochist. Obviously a liar, a fraud and a
sadomasochist couldn't be an example of superior morality or
"Christian" values. So there is no real morality in the story of
Christ as presented in the Gospels.
Jesus would be a liar and a fraud because if he were God, he could
never be an ordinary person. No matter how hard Jesus worked at being
an ordinary person, he would still be God because he could in the
blink of an eye change everything. Jesus wouldn't be a man, he'd be a
God playing man. If Jesus went around telling ordinary people that he
was a man he would be a liar and on some level a fraud. Jesus Christ
wouldn't be a man, then, he'd be a fraud, a hollow mockery of
humanity.
Worse, Jesus would be a sadomasochist, that is a person who enjoys
inflicting pain and suffering upon himself. By experiencing life in
First Century Palestine in all its glory, Jesus would be inflicting
pain, torture and violence upon himself. He even allowed himself to be
whipped and tortured to death by the Romans. Such behavior isn't an
example of morality, it is an example of psychotic behavior.
If experiencing such suffering himself wasn't bad enough, Jesus chose
to let others suffer along with him. Jesus not only enjoyed pain and
suffering but he made sure everybody else suffered as well.
Would anybody consider a doctor who had the drugs needed to cure a
painful disease but refused to use those drugs on his patients, then
injected himself with the bacteria which caused that disease so he
could feel his patients' pain, a moral or a great person? Of course
not. Such a doctor would be arrested, stripped of his license and
quite probably committed to a mental hospital.
You obviously have no life experience, since that's not what happens at all.
If patients cannot pay then they don't get treated in most parts of the
world. The Bible tells it like it is when we see the old girl handing over
her life savings to doctors who don't know how to help her any better than
the next man.
They are all a bunch of sharlatans, and their morals are worse than hookers,
who will give freebies occasionally.
I heard of something called Hookers Doctorin', and I thought that was about
right.
They can take their hypocritic oath and shove it up their collective
jejeunum.
In Love,
Constance Vigilant
Typical. Why should you meet your own needs? Somebody should take care
of you. You are so special, other people should feel privileged to work
for you for free, to give you the fruits of their labor free of charge.
Remember that when your paycheck is due, sweets.
That's not what she's all about. She's against medicine, doctors, and
all of it. She's one of those Christians who advocates withholding
medicine from their children, and starving them to death, too. You
read about people like Constance all the time in the news. They
usually end up behind bars.

Yet that's exactly what the Jesus Christ described in the Bible was;
he had the power to end all human suffering, but he didn't use it.
Instead he experienced that suffering himself and then arrogantly
claimed moral superiority because he was sharing people's suffering.
The God who walked on the Earth as a man would not be an example of
higher morality. He'd be an example of lunacy and mental illness. And
since God is supposed to be perfect, God couldn't be mentally ill. So
whoever or whatever Jesus was, he couldn't have been an omnipotent
God. Since Jesus wasn't God then what was he? Most likely Jesus was
just a man who suffered from some sort of mental illness.
Since the basic belief behind Christianity is not a moral one,
Christianity cannot and should not be seen as a faith that encourages
real morality. Instead it should be seen as a faith that discourages
morality by promoting a set of beliefs that encourages its adherents
to teach falsehoods as the truth.

he had the power to end all human suffering, but he didn't use it.
Instead he experienced that suffering himself and then arrogantly
claimed moral superiority because he was sharing people's suffering.
The God who walked on the Earth as a man would not be an example of
higher morality. He'd be an example of lunacy and mental illness. And
since God is supposed to be perfect, God couldn't be mentally ill. So
whoever or whatever Jesus was, he couldn't have been an omnipotent
God. Since Jesus wasn't God then what was he? Most likely Jesus was
just a man who suffered from some sort of mental illness.
Since the basic belief behind Christianity is not a moral one,
Christianity cannot and should not be seen as a faith that encourages
real morality. Instead it should be seen as a faith that discourages
morality by promoting a set of beliefs that encourages its adherents
to teach falsehoods as the truth.

You forgot to wag your finger and climb on a soap-box. Enjoy Christmas,
dear. The bills will wait for a month.
You do not call me "dear", demon. You may be a familiar spirit, but
you are not dealing with someone with whom you can be familiar. My God
is greater than your god, and we both know that.

And do not tell me when or how to preach.

And I suggest you enjoy Christmas. It may well be your last
opportunity to worship the King of Kings. You may not live to see
another Christmas. Or He may come sooner than you planned.

Do not presume to play with me, demon, and do not presume to play with

Post by Disbelief is the Ultimate Value
The Morality of the Christ?
by Daniel G. Jennings
The basic idea behind Christianity is that "God" somehow turned
himself into an ordinary man named Jesus Christ and lived and worked
here on Earth as an average person. Christians and their apologists
present this belief as profoundly moral and proof of "God's" superior
morality. The question we should ask ourselves: is the basic Christian
belief, that of the "God-man," really a moral belief or not?
My answer is that this belief is not a moral one because Jesus Christ,
the God-Man described in the Bible (if he really existed), would be a
liar, a fraud and a sadomasochist. Obviously a liar, a fraud and a
sadomasochist couldn't be an example of superior morality or
"Christian" values. So there is no real morality in the story of
Christ as presented in the Gospels.
Your blasphemy notwithstanding, you are twisting the truth into a
pretzel with your numerous straw men. Who were you planning to fool
but yourself, demon?
His Birthday is approaching. Leave we who love Him to worship Him in
peace, demon. You'd be wise to do that yourself. While you can. If
you are the demon I believe you are, you know the time is VERY short.
Shame on you.

Jesus would be a liar and a fraud because if he were God, he could
never be an ordinary person. No matter how hard Jesus worked at being
an ordinary person, he would still be God because he could in the
blink of an eye change everything. Jesus wouldn't be a man, he'd be a
God playing man. If Jesus went around telling ordinary people that he
was a man he would be a liar and on some level a fraud. Jesus Christ
wouldn't be a man, then, he'd be a fraud, a hollow mockery of
humanity.
Worse, Jesus would be a sadomasochist, that is a person who enjoys
inflicting pain and suffering upon himself. By experiencing life in
First Century Palestine in all its glory, Jesus would be inflicting
pain, torture and violence upon himself. He even allowed himself to be
whipped and tortured to death by the Romans. Such behavior isn't an
example of morality, it is an example of psychotic behavior.
If experiencing such suffering himself wasn't bad enough, Jesus chose
to let others suffer along with him. Jesus not only enjoyed pain and
suffering but he made sure everybody else suffered as well.
Would anybody consider a doctor who had the drugs needed to cure a
painful disease but refused to use those drugs on his patients, then
injected himself with the bacteria which caused that disease so he
could feel his patients' pain, a moral or a great person? Of course
not. Such a doctor would be arrested, stripped of his license and
quite probably committed to a mental hospital.
Yet that's exactly what the Jesus Christ described in the Bible was;
he had the power to end all human suffering, but he didn't use it.
Instead he experienced that suffering himself and then arrogantly

Is galia now on the side of the demons? Revealing his/her true self?
I'm not surprised!

And as I've said, I talk to demons that way, not to people. And the
guy who gave me the bloody nose got worse in return. I karate kicked
him in his kidneys. I am sure he pissed blood for 2 weeks. My feet

Given your display on a less than passing grip on reality, based on your
posts of course, you must get a sunburned tounge if the sun is out & you
are outside a building. You see, your apparent version of demon is so
vauge, that the ambulance paramedic helping the cardiac victim in the
middle of Jefferson Blvd. could be a demon according to you. If that
person is in fact a demon, they are still a better person than you have
demonstrated yourself to be. That there are no demons is a fact that will
always elude you. You & Martin Luther have a lot in common in that beleif,
but he was wrong as well. If there are anything resmbling demons, they are
gods, gods of a lower order to be sure, but gods for alll of that. Or are
you saying that all the god claims are real & your mythologhy allows you
to attempt to denigrate them by calling them demons???

In any case, it., like you, just isn't that important.

Yet that's exactly what the Jesus Christ described in the Bible was;
he had the power to end all human suffering, but he didn't use it.
Instead he experienced that suffering himself and then arrogantly
claimed moral superiority because he was sharing people's suffering.
The God who walked on the Earth as a man would not be an example of
higher morality. He'd be an example of lunacy and mental illness.
And since God is supposed to be perfect, God couldn't be mentally
ill. So whoever or whatever Jesus was, he couldn't have been an
omnipotent God. Since Jesus wasn't God then what was he? Most
likely Jesus was just a man who suffered from some sort of mental
illness. Since the basic belief behind Christianity is not a moral
one, Christianity cannot and should not be seen as a faith that
encourages real morality. Instead it should be seen as a faith that
discourages morality by promoting a set of beliefs that encourages
its adherents to teach falsehoods as the truth. Copyright 2003,

Post by Disbelief is the Ultimate Value
The Morality of the Christ?
by Daniel G. Jennings
The basic idea behind Christianity is that "God" somehow turned
himself into an ordinary man named Jesus Christ and lived and
worked here on Earth as an average person. Christians and their
apologists present this belief as profoundly moral and proof of
"God's" superior morality. The question we should ask ourselves: is
the basic Christian belief, that of the "God-man," really a moral
belief or not? My answer is that this belief is not a moral one
because Jesus Christ, the God-Man described in the Bible (if he
really existed), would be a liar, a fraud and a sadomasochist.
Obviously a liar, a fraud and a sadomasochist couldn't be an
example of superior morality or "Christian" values. So there is no
real morality in the story of Christ as presented in the Gospels.
Your blasphemy notwithstanding, you are twisting the truth into a
pretzel with your numerous straw men. Who were you planning to fool
but yourself, demon?
His Birthday is approaching. Leave we who love Him to worship Him in
peace, demon. You'd be wise to do that yourself. While you can. If
you are the demon I believe you are, you know the time is VERY short.
Shame on you.

Jesus would be a liar and a fraud because if he were God, he could
never be an ordinary person. No matter how hard Jesus worked at
being an ordinary person, he would still be God because he could in
the blink of an eye change everything. Jesus wouldn't be a man,
he'd be a God playing man. If Jesus went around telling ordinary
people that he was a man he would be a liar and on some level a
fraud. Jesus Christ wouldn't be a man, then, he'd be a fraud, a
hollow mockery of humanity. Worse, Jesus would be a sadomasochist,
that is a person who enjoys inflicting pain and suffering upon
himself. By experiencing life in First Century Palestine in all its
glory, Jesus would be inflicting pain, torture and violence upon
himself. He even allowed himself to be whipped and tortured to
death by the Romans. Such behavior isn't an example of morality, it
is an example of psychotic behavior. If experiencing such
suffering himself wasn't bad enough, Jesus chose to let others
suffer along with him. Jesus not only enjoyed pain and suffering
but he made sure everybody else suffered as well. Would anybody
consider a doctor who had the drugs needed to cure a painful
disease but refused to use those drugs on his patients, then
injected himself with the bacteria which caused that disease so he
could feel his patients' pain, a moral or a great person? Of course
not. Such a doctor would be arrested, stripped of his license and
quite probably committed to a mental hospital.

After all, he is the head Greek god, not yours. You do know that your

think CS Lewis is a scholar of your mythology, when all he is is a
mediore apologetic that fails with those that don't buy into the myth to

all claimed to be born at the winter solstice. & you know, well not you
but intelligent people do, that according to your mythology it is Jan 6 or
March during lambing time. BTW, those are but a few of your mythologies

Nope, Elvis is dead according to some doctors at a **christian** hospital

But the xian myth doesn't have a god of creation, which you would know if
you knew anything beyond a superficiasl exposure to your mytholoigy.
These are god & goddess, maybe a devil or demon or two, of creation. In
the original aspect, none are Hebraic though at least one is Canaanite.

Post by Disbelief is the Ultimate Value
The Morality of the Christ?
by Daniel G. Jennings
The basic idea behind Christianity is that "God" somehow turned
himself into an ordinary man named Jesus Christ and lived and worked
here on Earth as an average person. Christians and their apologists
present this belief as profoundly moral and proof of "God's" superior
morality. The question we should ask ourselves: is the basic Christian
belief, that of the "God-man," really a moral belief or not?
My answer is that this belief is not a moral one because Jesus Christ,
the God-Man described in the Bible (if he really existed), would be a
liar, a fraud and a sadomasochist. Obviously a liar, a fraud and a
sadomasochist couldn't be an example of superior morality or
"Christian" values. So there is no real morality in the story of
Christ as presented in the Gospels.
Your blasphemy notwithstanding, you are twisting the truth into a
pretzel with your numerous straw men. Who were you planning to fool
but yourself, demon?
His Birthday is approaching. Leave we who love Him to worship Him in
peace, demon. You'd be wise to do that yourself. While you can. If
you are the demon I believe you are, you know the time is VERY short.
Shame on you.

It's actually a pagan idea that Christians stole.

liar, a fraud and a sadomasochist. Obviously a liar, a fraud and a
sadomasochist couldn't be an example of superior morality or
"Christian" values. So there is no real morality in the story of
Christ as presented in the Gospels.
Jesus would be a liar and a fraud because if he were God, he could
never be an ordinary person. No matter how hard Jesus worked at being
an ordinary person, he would still be God because he could in the
blink of an eye change everything. Jesus wouldn't be a man, he'd be a
God playing man. If Jesus went around telling ordinary people that he
was a man he would be a liar and on some level a fraud. Jesus Christ
wouldn't be a man, then, he'd be a fraud, a hollow mockery of
humanity.
Worse, Jesus would be a sadomasochist, that is a person who enjoys
inflicting pain and suffering upon himself. By experiencing life in
First Century Palestine in all its glory, Jesus would be inflicting
pain, torture and violence upon himself. He even allowed himself to be
whipped and tortured to death by the Romans. Such behavior isn't an
example of morality, it is an example of psychotic behavior.
If experiencing such suffering himself wasn't bad enough, Jesus chose
to let others suffer along with him. Jesus not only enjoyed pain and
suffering but he made sure everybody else suffered as well.
Would anybody consider a doctor who had the drugs needed to cure a
painful disease but refused to use those drugs on his patients, then
injected himself with the bacteria which caused that disease so he
could feel his patients' pain, a moral or a great person? Of course
not. Such a doctor would be arrested, stripped of his license and
quite probably committed to a mental hospital.
Yet that's exactly what the Jesus Christ described in the Bible was;
he had the power to end all human suffering, but he didn't use it.
Instead he experienced that suffering himself and then arrogantly
claimed moral superiority because he was sharing people's suffering.
The God who walked on the Earth as a man would not be an example of
higher morality. He'd be an example of lunacy and mental illness. And
since God is supposed to be perfect, God couldn't be mentally ill. So
whoever or whatever Jesus was, he couldn't have been an omnipotent
God. Since Jesus wasn't God then what was he? Most likely Jesus was
just a man who suffered from some sort of mental illness.
Since the basic belief behind Christianity is not a moral one,
Christianity cannot and should not be seen as a faith that encourages
real morality. Instead it should be seen as a faith that discourages
morality by promoting a set of beliefs that encourages its adherents
to teach falsehoods as the truth.

The rise of science and the weakening of religion is directly
responsible for a higher quality of life in the world today.
You clearly misspelled "a longer life."
Nope.

You clearly did not look at the chart.

Here it is again:

http://tinyurl.com/yq57

My statement regards a higher quality of life thanks to science:
"improved public health, including sanitary sewers and clean drinking
water".

While it is true that this improved quality of life has led to longer
human life, religious institutions fought against the benefits of
science for centuries, resulting in an average life expectancy between
35-40 years, if one was lucky enough not to die in childbirth or
before puberty. The history of the Christian Church is a painful,
primitive, superstitious commentary on pure evil masquerading as
"truth". Medical doctors were forbidden to cure patients because
everyone knew that disease was a "sin", and God's will could not be
countered:

"...sickness was "regarded as the finger of Providence. God used
illness for a multitude of higher purposes...as a punishment..." [9].
Disease "was routinely interpreted as the consequence of sin, crime,
or moral fault, as precipitated by evil spirits, or as the work of
black magic. Disease was thus personalized and given a moral or
religious meaning." [10]. Doctors would also have declared the healing
power of Christ in the world, and that Antimony, prayer and fasting
were the sole cures."
http://www.homeoint.org/morrell/otherarticles/antibiotic.htm

Under the guidance of the Church, doctors neither cured patients nor
provided relief from pain and suffering. There can be no greater
example of evil in the world than the Christian Church prior to the
reclaiming of classical knowledge destroyed by those who pretended to
be represenatives of "God" and "Truth". And once the knowledge of the
pre-Christian scientists like Hippocrates was reclaimed and put back
into practice, a higher quality of life was the result. The victory
of knowledge over dogma, was the victory of science over religion.
Science improved the quality of life for everyone and longevity was
one of the benefits that the public reaped from unfettered, free
inquiry. Show me the benefits civilization has realized from the
tired tenets and dog-eared dogmas of the Mother Church and I'll show
you a pile of rotting corpses, condemned to an early death.

This chart is flawed. The y axis (the age side of the chart) doesn't go
down to zero; it begins at 30. So basically you're getting an exaggerated
view of the effect of hygeine, etc. The way the chart is set up, it appears
to show a five- to tenfold improvement in longevity, which is inaccurate.
It's double, which is clearly significant, but not quite as dramatic.

"improved public health, including sanitary sewers and clean drinking

Although much of this longevity *is* certainly due to improved sanitation,
if you read the Bible you'll find that the basic rules of sanitation were
laid out several thousand years ago. The bulk of the increase in longevity
doesn't come from scientific discoveries made since 1800, but from actually
*doing* many of the things advocated in the Bible.

I hasten to add that none of these comments applies to the discovery and use
of vaccination and antibiotics, which has yielded even better results.
Those were purely scientific discoveries that have prevented or reduced an
enormous amount of suffering and death.

That is a simplistic and highly inaccurate statement. *Some* religions, at
some times in their spans, did viciously and violently interfere with
science and rational thought. At other times religions have fostered
science. Much of what was known to the ancients is preserved because of the
Roman Catholic church's monks, copying the ancient documents into
illuminated manuscripts. Islam and Judaism have both contributed greatly to
preserving scientific knowledge, and also furthering it. The early Muslims
were fine astronomers. and mathematicians. Our words "algebra" and
"algorithm" come from the Arabic of these scientists.

This, again, was not always the case, nor was it *usually* the case. For
one thing, there *was* no medical science for most of the period you're
discussing. The best treatment known to doctors was "leeching" or
bloodletting. Surgery, mostly amputations, was done without anesthesia or
antibiotics. In general, medical science did *nothing* to enhance longevity
or the quality of life. It ranged from ineffective to absolutely lethal.
Little harm was done by preventing people from getting "medical" treatment.

You know, antimony means, "against (the) monk". It was used to poison
inconvenient monks... I am not aware of it being used as a treatment for
anything, though I suppose it's possible. We still use radium, after all,
radiation, and highly toxic chemicals to try to heal things we don't have a
clue how to fix. Arsenic compounds were used to treat syphillis.

Yes, religions all did terrible things - Crusades, Jihads, Inquisitions,
human rights violations, you name it. And they also did and are doing
humanitarian things, teaching, bringing medicine to those who cannot afford
it, working to install sewers and sources of clean drinking water, seeking
to help victims of famines and other disasters. You're presenting only one
side of the matter.
