Thread: Christianity as a religion....

i find christianity faintly silly. perhaps a little childish, but not in a good way.
it used to upset me, but it's quite ignorable.
at least they have a notion that there is more to life then ammassing comercial gains. unfortunately in the 99% atheist city i live in in china the only god they follow is money.
that would make a great slogan for them to stick on those posters outside thier churches:
"JHVH=better than cash, but not by much"

the problem is for me is that it seems a little poorly thought through; is honesty really good? what does good mean other than what makes society run smoothly? do we really want society to run smoothly? kind and caring? what does it mean? its nowhere near specific enough for me, and the more specific these notions are, the more they come to mean nothing at all.
muddy logic, interpretive ink blot test of a thing that no one agrees on.
the simplicity of it is only due to its vagarity.

I think Christianity, but also other similar religions (like Islam) are very much like a site filled with Ads.

Some of teh site content is OK, may be well documented and accurate, and then there are also ads, that are trying to sell you stuff in any way they can

Monotheist religions are pretty clearly the most intolerant ones, because they greatly over-simplify the world: WE have the one true faith, and everyone else is evil and serves the DEVIL.

The more religions we have that think in this way, the more religious intolerance there will be in the world. So IMO this model has no future, eventually they will either have to shift to more tolerant forms, or only one of them will conquer the world, and we'll have some nasty dystopian tyranny run by fanatics. Probably Islam has the greatest potential to do this, cause they have more psychos per million believers than anyone.

All in all pretty lame spiritual path IMO, at least from what I came in contact with, as a dude in a Christian family.

Christianity is very matching sample for the 'Donkey of Pshycology', Christian faith is clearly based on Mithraism & Hellenism & Judaism, the Theologic history comes from Judaistic myth, the structure of faith comes from Mithraism, and the advises come from Hellenism.

Jesus = Mithra or Persia (No Doubt /Agnus dei, Rising to Father, Dying for Humanity, Birthday, Son of God etc bullshits...)

christainty is not a religion its a friendship, and your personal relationship with Jesus Christ himself God himself says he hates religion and everything about it,

Yeah, like the Salem witch trials and the Inquisition, where people were tortured to confess "heresy". Yup, such a tolerant religion.

-They wrote the Malleus maleficarum
-Burn the pagans
-Keep the Dark ages in fear

Im a tolerant man about religion ,but Christianity...huh
This is a tool for power and the Christian leaders use it against who is a believer.

Maybe somewere exist a God from the Bible, but if he or she exist that God is a bloodthirsty maniac.

Its hard to be sure what to think about christianity because there are so many versions of so many versions of stories have been written to influence the herd.
As far as christianity v.s. satanism? Remember that one fuels the other. It doesn't always matter what you believe, you must look at whose pulling the strings because their beliefs are meant to effect your everyday life. I think that there is a bit of truth in every lie.
According to St. Irenaeus in his book Against Heresies, written in the late second century, Saturninus taught that Jesus was not really crucified. Simon of Cyrene was executed in his place while Jesus stood by invisibly (in an ally) and watched, laughing.

I agree with Darius. i view christians and catholics as sudo zombie worshipers.

Actually, the whole communion process comes from the ritual of ''God Eating''. The strongest, wisest, most spiritually powerful person of a tribe would give themselves willingly (this was a honor) to be sacrificed to the gods. They would then be ritually eaten and consumed when they had invoked the deity. This practice was something more for the cthonic cults of Greece and the Stregha of Italy. Both are places that were visited by Christians in the very beginning of their desire towards world dominion.

I have respect for christians who do not force their beliefs upon me. Some of them, I have found, can be loving. It is just very, very, few are true to their doctrine.

However, I have my own personal contempt towards them for my own reasons.

Crowley describes the progress of humanity in a series of ''Aeons''. The Aeon of Osiris is the one we have just left and we are now entering the Aeon of Horus.

"The second [Aeon] is of suffering and death: the spiritual strives to ignore the material. Christianity and all cognate religions worship death, glorify suffering, deify corpses."

Damn bloody corpse worshipers!
