God? What God? What Religion?

download four brothers You gods will be forgotten in due time, your religions will soon die out just like your gods will. Just like the Egyptian gods, Norse gods, Greek gods, Mayan gods & the Roman gods died out, so will Allah & Vishnu & Shiva & Jesus. -

He'll Give Those With Him 666

Here is the classic Stairway To Heaven played backwards. The video also features the ‘lyrics’ as it sounds to the human ear when played backwards.

For those who have never heard this before….Are you amazed? Are you scared?

Norway

Christian fundamentalists would have you think that Norwegian Black Metal, which denounces all things about Christ and is anti-Christianity at it’s core, is evil & should be stopped at all costs. Black Metallists in Norway & other Scandinavian countries started due to a deep hatred of the history of how Christian crusaders brutally murdered thousands of Vikings in those countries and forcefully converted the remaining In May, 2007 an article by the BBC, The Global Peace Index, compiled by the Economist Intelligence Unit, looked at 24 factors to determine how peaceful each country was. Norway is rated as the ‘most peaceful country’ in the world. In 2005, a survey conducted by Gallup International in sixty-five countries indicated that Norway was the least religious country in Western Europe, with 36% counting themselves as being religious, 9% as being atheists, and 46% neither.

Chalk one for the Norwegians!

Top Ten Signs You’re a Fundamentalist Christian

10 – You vigorously deny the existence of thousands of gods claimed by other religions, but feel outraged when someone denies the existence of yours.

9 – You feel insulted and “dehumanized” when scientists say that people evolved from other life forms, but you have no problem with the Biblical claim that we were created from dirt.

8 – You laugh at polytheists, but you have no problem believing in a Triune God.

7 – Your face turns purple when you hear of the “atrocities” attributed to Allah, but you don’t even flinch when hearing about how God/Jehovah slaughtered all the babies of Egypt in “Exodus” and ordered the elimination of entire ethnic groups in “Joshua” including women, children, and trees!

6 – You laugh at Hindu beliefs that deify humans, and Greek claims about gods sleeping with women, but you have no problem believing that the Holy Spirit impregnated Mary, who then gave birth to a man-god who got killed, came back to life and then ascended into the sky.

5 – You are willing to spend your life looking for little loopholes in the scientifically established age of Earth (few billion years), but you find nothing wrong with believing dates recorded by Bronze Age tribesmen sitting in their tents and guessing that Earth is a few generations old.

4 – You believe that the entire population of this planet with the exception of those who share your beliefs — though excluding those in all rival sects – will spend Eternity in an infinite Hell of Suffering. And yet consider your religion the most “tolerant” and “loving.”

3 – While modern science, history, geology, biology, and physics have failed to convince you otherwise, some idiot rolling around on the floor speaking in “tongues” may be all the evidence you need to “prove” Christianity.

2 – You define 0.01% as a “high success rate” when it comes to answered prayers. You consider that to be evidence that prayer works. And you think that the remaining 99.99% FAILURE was simply the will of God.

1 – You actually know a lot less than many atheists and agnostics do about the Bible, Christianity, and church history – but still call yourself a Christian.

We spoke about Judas

I met this strange guy today – he was my auto driver who was a former bank clerk and an ex-army man. Out of the blue, as we left in the direction of my office, he asked if I minded chatting while he drove. I said, “Sure. What was it that you had in mind?”

Somehow the conversation moved to the fact that I am an Atheist and that, in answer to his question, in moments of great despair I never called out to (a fake and non-existent) God. I gave him a couple of examples from my recent years. From what he said, I concluded that, although he does not believe in idol worship, he believes that there is a supreme being.

The conversation moved on to Christianity and Judas. He asked me, if God is all knowing and if God is so powerful (I am rolling my eyes), and if everything is his doing, then did he not have a hand in Judas’s betrayal of Jesus (who is supposed to be the son of God and God himself)? Hence, why should Christians hate Judas and why is he infamous as the ultimate betrayer & sinner?

Yeah! Why is he? And how did he betray Jesus? By a kiss to identify him to the Roman soldiers. Here is what bother’s me – Jesus was quite well known, he went on preaching and saving humans. Everyone knew who he was, he went along with his disciples and many other of his devotees and so there should be no doubt as to his identity. So why condemn him?

I have always thought of the character Judas as a tragic figure. I mean all you christians have just denounced the poor fellow, even made him to be Dracula (in the movie Dracula 2000) and the ultimate traitor. In response we have : the metal band Judas Priest & “Judas My Guide” by Iron Maiden. I think Judas wins here

Song for the day – “Judas Rising” – JUDAS PRIEST
