The Failures of Christianity~
Frankly, when I think of religion, I think of the word restraint. You can’t do this. You can’t do that. You can’t see this, watch this, listen to that, and you certainly can’t do this on this day. Not to mention the endless contradictions, the reconstruction of powerful ideologies such as ‘ego’ and ‘dominance’ into some form of ‘bad word’ that must be pooh-poohed into a corner, and that only through suffering and submission can we achieve some form of lasting reward (that hasn’t even been proven it exists) AFTER we die.
Modern Religion, to me, is working mythology. The difference between our mythology, and say, Grecian mythology, is that they had stories about their gods, as they happened. “ahahaha, Zeus must be hurling lightning bolts!” and shit like that. we’ve got some five thousand year old fairy tale that says, “Stuff happened, and there were boobs.”
Judeo-christian ideologies effectively state that only through suffering and selflessness, willing subjugation to God and our Fellowman, servility and an abandonment of independent action are we able to achieve a lasting immortality.
But Wait There’s More! Act Now and you get your own set of Ginsu knives! There’s a “Get Out of Jail Free” card. Let me tell you about it. This criminal was on the cross when christ was up there . Common story, I’m sure you’ve heard it. He’s like, “Dude, You’re God. I believe you.” and Jesus is like, “Dude, seriously. I tell you this: You’re going to heaven.” The murderer dude is like, “Score! Blarg I are dead!” Did you catch the sekrit message? Check it out: Fuck up all you want. Kill jews by the millions, shit on your neighbor, fuck his wife, rape his dog, and drown his children in piss. willingly and intentionally participate in the exploitation of children. When you die, repent, and boom- straight shot into heaven, free of charge, “your sins are forgiven you”.
Contradictory, no? even if you live your life as sin free as you possibly can, some cock-choking shmuck will be able to get in anyway.
