God never Lie


Let the word of God about the word of God stand firm:

God is not man, that he should lie, or a son of man, that he


should change his mind. Has he said, and will he not do it? Or has
he spoken, and will he not fulfill it? (Numbers 23:19).

The Glory of Israel will not lie (1 Samuel 15:29).

The word of the Lord is upright, and all his work is done in
faithfulness. (Psalms 33:4).

This Godhis way is perfect; the word of the Lord proves


true (2 Samuel 22:31).

Every word of God proves true (Proverbs 30:5).

The words of the Lord are pure words, like silver refined in a
furnace on the ground, purified seven times (Psalms 12:6).
God can be trusted. But do not play games with him. Do not begin
to be careless with the truth. Do not take pleasure in
unrighteousness and forsake the love of the truth. If you do,
you may be abandoned to a strong delusion and never be able to
see again.
For Gods truth and your s

Why Christ betrayed

he prophet Micaiah stood against all the prophets of Ahab


and said that the king would fall in battle. To explain why all the
other prophets were saying the opposite, Micaiah says, Now
therefore behold, the Lord has put a lying spirit in the mouth of all
these your prophets; the Lord has declared disaster for you (1
Kings 22:23).

Similarly, God says he will punish those who try to use


prophets to buttress their sin. In that situation he says, If the
prophet is deceived and speaks a word, I, the Lord, have deceived
that prophet, and I will stretch out my hand against him and will
destroy him from the midst of my people Israel. And they shall
bear their punishmentthe punishment of the prophet and the
punishment of the inquirer shall be alike (Ezekiel 14:9-10).

And at the end of this age, God will ordain a strong


delusion as part of the punishment for those who refused to
love the truth. The coming of the lawless one is by the activity
of Satan with all power and false signs and wonders, and with all
wicked deception for those who are perishing, because they
refused to love the truth and so be saved. Therefore God sends
them a strong delusion, so that they may believe what is false, in
order that all may be condemned who did not believe the truth
but had pleasure in unrighteousness (2 Thessalonians 2:9-12).

which clearly show that the Old Testament is not to be ignored. Its laws should
indeed be adhered to, for the New Testament demands it! After this section I shall
list where the Bible contradicts itself concerning other laws.
1) For truly, I say to you, till heaven and earth pass away, not an iota, not a dot,
will pass the law until all is accomplished. Whoever then relaxes one of the least
of these commandments and teaches men so, shall be called least in the kingdom
of heaven; but he who does them and teaches them shall be called great in the
kingdom of heaven. (Matthew 5:18-19 RSV) Clearly the Old Testament is to be
abided by until the end of human existence itself. None other then Jesus said so.
2) All of the vicious Old Testament laws will be binding forever. "It is easier for
Heaven and Earth to pass away than for the smallest part of the letter of the law
to become invalid." (Luke 16:17 NAB)
3) Jesus strongly approves of the law and the prophets. He hasnt the slightest
objection to the cruelties of the Old Testament. "Do not think that I have come to
abolish the law or the prophets. I have come not to abolish but to fulfill. Amen, I
say to you, until heaven and earth pass away, not the smallest part or the smallest
part of a letter will pass from the law, until all things have taken place." (Matthew
5:17 NAB)
3b) "All scripture is inspired by God and is useful for teaching, for refutation, for
correction, and for training in righteousness..." (2 Timothy 3:16 NAB)
3c) "Know this first of all, that there is no prophecy of scripture that is a matter
of personal interpretation, for no prophecy ever came through human will; but
rather human beings moved by the holy Spirit spoke under the influence of
God." (2 Peter 20-21 NAB)
4) Jesus criticizes the Jews for not killing their disobedient children according to
Old Testament law. Mark.7:9-13 "Whoever curses father or mother shall die"
(Mark 7:10 NAB)
5) Jesus is criticized by the Pharisees for not washing his hands before eating. He
defends himself by attacking them for not killing disobedient children according to
the commandment:He that curseth father or mother, let him die the
death. (Matthew 15:4-7)
6) Jesus has a punishment even worse than his father concerning adultery: God
said the act of adultery was punishable by death. Jesus says looking with lust is the
same thing and you should gouge your eye out, better a part, than the whole. The
punishment under Jesus is an eternity in Hell. (Matthew 5:27)
7) Peter says that all slaves should be subject to [their] masters with all fear, to
the bad and cruel as well as the good and gentle. This is merely an echo of the
same slavery commands in the Old Testament. 1 Peter 2:18

8) Did not Moses give you the law, and yet none of you keepeth the
law" (John7:19) and For the law was given by Moses,..." (John 1:17).
9) ...the scripture cannot be broken. --Jesus Christ, John 10:35

Law Contradictions of the Bible:


10) Shall we obey the law? Romans 13:1-7 says quite clearly that Christians are to
submit to the law and regard it as the institution of God. 1 Peter 2:13-14 Submit
your self to every ordinance of man ... to the king, as supreme; Or unto governors.
Matthew 22:21 Render therefore unto Caesar the things which are Caesars.
Also see Titus 3:1. Matthew 23:2-3 & Ecclesiastes 8:2 This leads one to assume
that Christians must and should obey the law, yet look at these verses which
contradicts what I just sited. Acts 5:29 We ought to obey God rather then men.
Exodus 1:17-20 shows God punishing the midwives for following their rulers
instead of God. Also see Daniel 3:16-18, 6:7-10, Acts 4:26 & 27, Mark 12:38-40,
Luke 23:11, 24 & 33-35 which all say the law should be ignored. Now we know
why Christians get away with their selective morality so often.
11) Should we steal? (Exodus 20:15 & Leviticus 19:13) Stealing is absolutely
forbidden. Yet, Exodus 3:21-22, 12:35-36 & Luke 19:29-34 all promote stealing.
12) Should we judge? Jesus is quoted in Matthew 7:1-2: Judge not, that ye be not
judged. For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged. Also see Luke 6:37
& 1 Corinthians 5:12. Now take a look at Judge not according to the appearance,
but judge righteous judgment (John 7:24). Also note 1 Corinthians 5:12 & 6:2-4.
1 3) Should we covet? Exodus 20:17 says, Thou shalt not covet . . . anything that
is thy neighbors, while 1 Corinthians 12:31 says, Covet earnestly the best gifts.
So, are we or are we not to covet?
14) Is lying okay? Exodus 20:16. Proverbs 12:22 & Revelations 21:8 all say lying
is forbidden. Joshua 2:4-6, Exodus 1:18-20 & 1 Kings 22:21-22 all support lying.
15) Can we kill? Exodus 20:13 says thou shalt not kill. Exodus 32:27, Numbers
31, and THOUSANDS of other verses show God commanding us to kill.
16) Can we own slaves? Leviticus 25:45 Moreover of the children of the
strangers that do sojourn among you, of them shall ye buy and they shall be
your possession they shall be your bondmen forever. Genesis 9:25 And he
[Noah] said, Cursed be Canaan; a servant of servants shall he be unto his
brethren. Exodus 21:2 & 7 If thou buy an Hebrew servant, six years he shall
serve: and in the seventh he shall go out free for nothing And if a man sell his
daughter to be a maidservant, she shall not go out as the menservants do. Joel 3:8
And I will sell your sons and your daughters into the hand of the children of
Judah, and they shall sell them to the Sabeans, to a people far off: for the Lord hath
spoken it. Luke 12:47-48 [Jesus speaking] And that servant, which knew his
lords will, and prepared not himself, neither did according to his will, shall be

beaten with many stripes. But he that knew not, and did commit things worthy of
stripes, shall be beaten with few stripes. Colossians 3:22
Servants, obey in all things your masters. So obviously the Biblical God
thinks slavery is right, right? Just look at these: Isaiah 58:6 Undo the heavy
burdens... let the oppressed go free, ... break every yoke. Matthew 23:10 Neither
be ye called Masters: for one is your Master, even Christ. (Also see Exodus 22:21
& 21:16) Let it be known here that pro-slavery Bible verses were cited by many
churches in the South during the Civil War, and were used by some theologians in
the Dutch Reformed Church to justify apartheid in South Africa. There are more
pro-slavery verses than cited here. I simply do not have the room to post all of
them.
17) What about Improvidence? Improvidence is enjoined in Luke 12:3 Sell that
ye have and give alms. also in Luke 6:30 & 35 Give to every man that asketh of
thee, and of him that taketh away thy goods, ask them not again ... And lend,
hoping for nothing again, and your reward shall be great. Also note Matthew 6:28,
31 & 34. Improvidence is condemned in I Timothy 5:8 But if any provide not for
his own, and especially for those of his own house, he hath denied the faith, and is
worse than an infidel. Also see Proverbs 13:22.
18) What does the law say about anger? Ephesians 4:26 says Be ye angry and sin
not not. Anger is disapproved in Ecciesiastes 7:9 Be not hasty in thy spirit to be
angry; for anger resteth in the bosom of fools. Proverbs 22:24 Make no
friendship with an angry man. Also see James 1:20.
19) Are we to let our good works be seen? Matthew 5:16 Let your light so shine
before men, that they may see your good works. This contradicts verse Matthew
6:1 , Take heed that you do not your alms before men, to be seen of them.
20) Should we pray in public? 1 Kings 2:22, 54 & 9:3 shows the Lord is joyed by
public prayer and listens intently. Matthew 6:5-6 condemn public prayer and
command people keep it a secret.
21) Can we wear long hair? Judges 13:5 & Numbers 6:5 encourages people to
grow their hair and insists it is a source of strength. 1 Corinthians 11:14 calls long
hair a shame.
22) Should we circumcise males? Genesis 17:10 This is my covenant which ye
shall keep between me and you and thy seed after thee: Every man and child
among you shall be circumcised. Clearly this demands circumcision, yet Galatians
5:2 says Behold, I Paul, say unto you, that if ye be circumcised, Christ shall profit
you nothing.
23) Are there certain kinds of foods we should not eat? Deuteronomy 14:2-8 lists
several animals that we are NOT to eat because they are unclean, chew the cud
and divide the hoof. Yet Genesis 9:3 & 1 Corinthians 10:25 insists there is
nothing we cant eat. Romans 14:14 says: There is nothing unclean of itself.

24) Can we take oaths? Numbers 30:2, Genesis 21:23-24, 31, 31:53 & Hebrews
6:13 says that we can take oaths and encourages it. Matthew 5:34 says swear
(make an oath) not at all.
25) Can we get married? Genesis 2:18, 1:28, Matthew 19:5 & Hebrews 13:4 all
insist marriage is honorable. Marriage is disapproved and scorned in 1 Corinthians
7:1 & 7:7-8.
26) Can we commit adultery? Exodus 20: 14 thou shalt not commit adultery.
Also see Hebrews 13:4. Now look at Numbers 31:18, Hosea 1:2 & 2:1-3 where
adultery is advocated by God.
27) Can we drink alcohol? Proverbs 31:6-7, 1 Timothy 5:23 & Psalms 104:15 all
encourage drinking and intoxication. Proverbs 20:1 & 23:31-32 discourage
drinking and intoxication.
28) Do women have rights? Genesis 3:16 And thy desire shall be to thy husband,
and he shall rule over thee. 1 Timothy 2:12 says a woman must not teach, remain
silent and must be subjugated to her man. 1 Corinthians 14:34 & 1 Peter 3:6 both
say that women have limited rights and are under control of their men. Judges 4:4,
14-15, 5:7, Acts 2:18 & 21:9 all tell of powerful women who were not subjugated
by men and were not punished for their authority of men.
29) Should we obey our masters with usurped authority? Colossians 3:22-23 & 1
Peter 2:18 says we should. 1 Corinthians 7:23 Be not ye the servants of men.
Also see Matthew 4:10 & 23:10 which say we should not submit usurped to our
masters.
30) Was the law of the Old Testament destroyed by Christs crucification?
Luke16:16, Ephesians 2:15 & Romans 7:6 says that the old law is no longer
binding. Yet Matthew 5:17-19 and MANY other verses say that the old law is
forever binding. If you want to see the many verses that command we follow the
old law please consult the upper portion of this page.
31) Should we swear an oath? Numbers 30:2 If a man vow a vow unto the Lord,
or swear an oathhe shall do according to all that proceedeth out of his mouth.
Genesis 21:22-24 & 31 swear unto me here by God that thou wilt not deal
falsely with meAnd Abraham said, I will swearWherefore he called that place
Beersheba [Well of the oath]; because there they sware both of them. Hebrews
6:13-17 For when God made promise to Abraham, because he could swear by no
greater, he sware by himselffor men verily swear by the greater: and an oath for
confirmation is to them an end of all strife. Wherein God, willing more abundantly
to shew unto the heirs of promise the immutability ofhis counsel, confirmed it by
an oath. See also Genesis 22:15- 19, Genesis 31 :53, & Judges I 1 :30-39. So
apparently it is okay to swear an oath, we even do this on the Bible in American
courts. Just try and forget these verses: Matthew 5:34-37 But I say unto you,
swear not at all; neither by heavennor by the earthNeither shalt thou swear by
thy headBut let your communication be, Yea, yea; Nay, nay: for whatsoever is
more than these cometh of evil.

James 5:12 swear not, neither by heaven, neither by the earth, neither by any
other oath: but let your yea be yea; and your nay, nay; lest ye fall into
condemnation.
32) Do we keep the Sabbath? Exodus 20:8 Remember the Sabbath day to keep it
holy. Exodus 31:15 Whosoever doeth any work in the Sabbath day, he shall
surely be put to death. Numbers 15:32-36 And while the children of Israel were
in the wilderness, they found a man that gathered sticks upon the Sabbath day
And all the congregation brought him without the camp, and stoned him with
stones, and he died; as the Lord commanded Moses. Each of these contradict
Isaiah 1:13 The new moons and Sabbaths, the calling of assemblies, I cannot
away with; it is iniquity. John 5:16 And therefore did the Jews persecute Jesus
and sought to slay him, because he had done these things on the Sabbath day.
Colossians 2:16 Let no man therefore judge you in meat, or in drink, or in
respect of an holy-day, or of the new moon, or of the Sabbath days.
33) Should we make graven images? Exodus 20:4 Thou shalt not make unto thee
any graven image, or any likeness of anything that is in heavenearth ... water.
Leviticus 26:1 Ye shall make ye no idols nor graven image, neither rear you up a
standing image, neither shall ye set up any image of stone. Deuteronomy 27:15
Cursed be the man that maketh any graven or molten image. Okay, I got it I
shouldnt produce a thing in fear of making a graven image, but wait: Exodus
25:18 And thou shalt make two cherubims of gold, of beaten work shalt thou
make them. I Kings 7:15-16 & 23-25 For he [Solomon] cast two pillars of
brassand two chapiters of molten brassAnd he made a molten seait stood
upon twelve oxen ... [and so on]

Bad things about Jesus in the


New Testament! Also
exposing the Old Testament:
First, let's start with the Old Testament:
There are several Verses in the Bible that seem to be very cruel. Let us look at few
of them:

1 Samuel 15:2-4
2 Thus saith the LORD of hosts, I remember that which Amalek did to Israel, how
he laid wait for him in the way, when he came up from Egypt.
3 Now go and smite Amalek, and utterly destroy all that they have, and spare them
not; but slay both man and woman, infant and suckling, ox and sheep, camel
and ass.
4 And Saul gathered the people together, and numbered them in Telaim, two
hundred thousand footmen, and ten thousand men of Judah.
Let us look at Numbers 31:17 "Now kill all the boys [innocent kids]. And kill every
woman who has slept with a man, but save for yourselves every girl who has never
slept with a man."
Also, let us look at Numbers 31:35-40 "[From the captives of war] 32,000 women
who had never slept with a man.......of which the tribute for the LORD was 32
[virgin women]."
Why kill the innocent children? Why kill all of the non-virgin women? Back then,
it was only men who fought men in wars. Women rarely fought in battle fields.
So what crime did the innocent children and the non-virgin women do?
This verse was sent to me by Yusif 65; may Allah Almighty always be pleased with
him: "But after they had moved it, the LORD's hand was against that city,
throwing it into a great panic. He afflicted the people of the city, both young and
old, with an outbreak of tumors. (From the NIV Bible, 1 Samuel 5:9)"
"tumors" was defined as "with tumors in the groin." This is verified at this link.
Why torture the enemies by destroying their groins?

In the New Testament:


Below are some verses from the Bible that prove Jesus was irrational and selfcontradicting. As a Muslim, I believe that Jesus peace be upon him didn't
contradict himself in anything, nor was he irrational. The Bible is full of manmade alterations and corruptions, and it can not be fully trusted.
Let us look at what the Bible says about Jesus:
In the NT, we read about Jesus commanding his followers to buy swords: "He said
to them, 'But now if you have a purse, take it and also a bag; and if you don't have
a sword, sell your cloak and buy one. (Luke 22:36)"

Ok, maybe Jesus ordered his followers to buy swords to keep them for self-defense
situations only, which I am certain that this was the case. But buying the swords
by itself is a very bad idea from the "Prince of Peace" as the Bible calls him.
Imagine if every Christian in the world today owns a gun in his/her home. Imagine
how dangerous the society will be. You can't expect every Christian to be as good
as Jesus if you know what I mean! Owning guns would certainly make the job of
the government's law enforcement a lot harder!

Jesus killing his enemies:

"So I will cast her on a bed of suffering, and I will make those who commit
adultery with her suffer intensely, unless they repent of her ways. I will strike her
children dead. Then all the churches will know that I am he who searches hearts
and minds, and I will repay each of you according to your deeds. (From the NIV
Bible, Revelation 2:22-23)"
Brother Karim proved from the Greek text that "children" here is actually literal
and means actual children: Innocent children punished with death in the New
Testament!
There is also a long list of evil, terrorism, pedophilia and mass murders in the
Bible:

Anyway, according to the NIV Bible's Historians and Theologians, the Book of Revelation
and the rest of the Bible's Books and Gospels are corrupted, doubtful and unreliable, and their
authors were not Messengers of GOD Almighty, but normal people.

So everything in the Book of Revelation and in the rest of the Bible is doubtful and
unreliable.

We also read about Jesus bringing corruption and destruction to earth rather than
peace: "Do not suppose that I [Jesus] have come to bring peace to the earth. I did
not come to bring peace, but a sword. (Matthew 10:34)"
Jesus ordering the killing of apostates (those who desert him): "I am the vine; you
are the branches. If a man remains in me and I in him, he will bear much fruit;
apart from me you can do nothing. If anyone does not remain in me, he is like a
branch that is thrown away an withers; such branches are picked up, thrown into
the fire and burned. (John 15:5-6)"

Even though this statement doesn't directly order for the killing of apostates, but it
does encourage it, because the Bible does order the killing of apostates in both the Old and
New Testaments.

Jesus hitting others with a whip, not that it makes him bad, but certainly takes his
"perfection" away: "So he made a whip out of cords, and drove all from the temple
area, both sheep and cattle; he scattered the coins of the money changers and
overturned their tables. To those who sold doves he said, 'Get these out of here!
How dare you turn my Father's house into a market!.' (John 2:15)"
Jesus not respecting the life of the innocent animals, which again takes away his
"perfection" from him: "He [Jesus] said to them, 'Go!' so they came out and went
into the pigs, and the whole herd rushed down the steep bank into the lake and died
in the water. (Matthew 8:32)"

Jesus was defeated by the woman's wisdom:


I'd like to start this section by presenting this Noble Verse from the Noble Quran:
"Do they not ponder on the Qur'an? Had it been from other than Allah, they
would surely have found therein much discrepancy. (The Noble Quran, 4:82)"
Below we will see the overwhelming amount of corruption that exists in the New
Testament.

Jesus was defeated by the woman's wisdom:


"A Canaanite woman from that vicinity came to him, crying out, 'Lord, Son of
David, have mercy on me! My daughter is suffering terribly from demonpossession. Jesus did not answer a word. So his disciples came to him and urged
him, 'Send her away, for she keeps crying out after us.' He [Jesus] answered, 'I
was sent only to the lost sheep of Israel.' The woman came and knelt before him.
'Lord, help me!' she said. He [Jesus] replied 'It is not right to take the children's
[Jews] bread [blessings and miracles reserved for them] and toss it to their

dogs [the Gentiles].'

'Yes, Lord' she said, 'but even the dogs eat the crumbs that
fall from their masters' table.' Then Jesus answered, 'Woman, you have great
faith! Your request is granted.' And her daughter was healed from that very hour.
(From the NIV Bible, Matthew 15:22-28)"

It's funny how Jesus supposedly in the book of man-made alterations and corruption,
the New Testament, instantaneously ABROGATED his views and decision about
the non-Jewish woman and people in general being equivalent to dogs when
compared to the Jews. It is important to note that the woman, in this corrupted
book, from the very start showed that she is a "believer" (what ever that meant
back then). So it wasn't a matter of a "disbeliever" or pagan seeking Jesus' help.
The woman's wisdom defeated Jesus, the so-called "Creator of the
Universe"! Jesus, within a second, changed his racist and trash-

mouthed views against her from being a "dog" to a human being who deserves
to be helped.

"I was sent ONLY to..." clearly and


irrefutably means that
Jesus initially claimed that he wasn't
sent to other than the Jews!
So what if the woman failed with Jesus??
It seems that Jesus in the corrupted book of the new testament changed his racist and
filthy views only because the woman begged him. I wonder if the woman never
did this and instead answered him inappropriately after he called her and all
gentiles as "dogs", would the gentiles today still be considered as the Jews'
dogs? Most probably yes. It doesn't take much for a racist to go back to his old
habits and generalizing evil beliefs.

Again, don't forget that the


woman initially showed that she

believer!

was a

Jesus rejected her only because she


was a Gentile!

The contradiction and man-made


corruption in the text are clear!
The "Jesus" of the corrupted book of new testament is clearly not the Creator of the
Universe as the lie of trinity claims. Allow me to quote Jesus himself, or what's
put on his mouth, regarding those so-called masters:
"O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, you who kill the prophets and stone those sent to
you, how often I have longed to gather your children together, as a hen gathers her
chicks under her wings, but you were not willing. (From the NIV Bible, Matthew
23:37)"
No Prophets killers can ever be better than any human being that GOD Almighty
Created! Those so-called masters can not be better than anyone or any race that
exists on earth. In fact, the dung that I personally or anyone for this matter flush in
the toilet is better than them and those worthless words that were uttered on the
tongue of Jesus in the book of racism and lies, the New Testament. Let alone,
them being the masters. So much for them being better than me, a non-Jew, and
me being their "dog".
Because the bible is not Divine and is filled with man's lies, it is easy to find
unanswerable contradictions in it. Jesus' views were clearly absurd and allow me
to say, stupid. At one point, the Jews were the masters, and because he was
satisfied with them, he ignored the fact that they were the Prophets'

killers.

But after they disappointed him, the balance changed and they became
bad, and it was now ok to go and preach to the Gentiles (the non-Jews).
So in other words:

1- Have the Jews been ok with Jesus, the Gentiles would not have received any
preaching.

2-

The face of christianity today would be totally different. "Christianity" today


would be limited to "only the lost sheep of Israel," i.e., the Jews.

3- Like I mentioned above, have the woman failed with Jesus, the Gentiles today
would still be considered as the "Jews' dogs".

Of course me as a Muslim, I don't believe that the foul dirt that was put on Jesus'
mouth or anything that exists in the NT is Divine. Again, as Allah Almighty Said:
"Do they not ponder on the Qur'an? Had it been from other than Allah, they
would surely have found therein much discrepancy. (The Noble Quran, 4:82)"
Only the verses in the Bible and Hadiths (collection of Prophet Muhammad's,
peace be upon him, words) that directly agree with the Noble Quran are considered
close to the Truth, but not quite the Truth.

The Jesus of Islam is not the

Jesus of the bible.

The book of lies, the New Testament, is filled with man's


alteration and corruption. I have provided ample quotes from bible theologians and a
long list of contradictions that clearly and irrefutably prove this!
Also visit: What is the place of Jesus, Jews and Christians in Islam? See the type of
Jews and Christians that GOD Almighty is Satisfied with in Islam.

So now the question to you is:


Do you honestly call this absurdity about Jesus
being a trash-mouthed racist and then changing
instantaneously in the book of lies as Divine
Revelations from GOD Almighty?
Where is the Divine Wisdom and Perfection in that?
I only see double-standard hypocrisy and CLEARCUT stupidity!
Let's just briefly compare the above lies with the Divine Justice and Revelations in
the Noble Quran:
"O mankind! We created you from a single (pair) of a male and a female, and made
you into nations and tribes, that ye may know each other. Verily the most
honoured of you in the sight of Allah is the most righteous of you. And Allah
has full knowledge and is well-acquainted. (The Noble Quran, 49:13)"

racism in the bible.

"I was sent only to the lost sheep of Israel":


Jesus also said: "These twelve Jesus sent out with the following instructions: 'Do
not go among the Gentiles or enter any town of the Samaritans. Go rather to the
lost sheep of Israel.' (From the NIV Bible, Matthew 10:5-6)"
These are the words of Jesus in the Bible. It is quite obvious that Jesus was NOT
sent to Mankind and Christianity isn't a religion for Mankind. Even if Jesus did die
on the cross for people's sins, he didn't do it for all nations' sins, but for the Jews
alone who believed in him.
And when Jesus told his disciples to go "to all nations" and teach them the words
and baptize them in the name of the Father, Son and the Holy Spirit (Mathew
28:18-20), it is obvious that "all nations" is a mistranslation, because in the Middle
East, the words for "People" and "Nation" are the same word.
Very Important Note: It is important to know also that nations as we know them
today in countries were very few back 2000 years ago. People for the most part
were divided into either "tribes" or "empires"; like the Persian and Roman Empires
for instance, which both spread in land as far as what we call today North Africa,
Palestine, Syria, Iraq, Turkey, Iran, Pakistan and India. Nations as we know them
today existed in few places only. Arabs for instance weren't called "The Arab
Nation", because they were divided into 365 pagan tribes, each tribe worshiping
their idol god(s) which were different than the others.
So if Jesus told his disciples to go to "all people", then this simply means to all of
the people of Israel, because he "was sent only to the lost sheep of Israel", and
NOT to anyone else, because THERE WERE ALMOST NO NATIONS AROUND
HIM AND VERY FEW NATIONS WORLD-WIDE! We are clearly left with a
crystal clear contradiction between the Christian Missionaries of today and what
Jesus said.
And as we clearly see from the introduction above, the Bible was very badly
corrupted by the Jews. GOD said they corrupted the Bible so bad that they turned
it into a "lie!".
Please visit Contradictions and proofs of Historical Corruptions in the Bible.
Why did Allah Almighty allow for the Bible to get corrupted?

Muhammad on the other hand was sent to all of Mankind.

Jesus taught his followers to hate! "If anyone comes to me and does not hate his
father and mother, his wife and children, his brothers and sisters- yes, even his own
life- he cannot be my disciple. (Luke 14:26)"
Jesus never used the word "family." He never married or fathered children. To his
own mother, he said, "Woman, what have I to do with thee? (John 2:4)"
Jesus didn't come to free slaves nor came to stop the brutal slavery: "That servant
who knows his master's will and does not get ready or does not do what his master
wants will be beaten with many blows. But the one who does not know and does
things deserving punishment will be beaten with few blows. From everyone who
has been given much, much will be demanded; and from the one who has been
entrusted with much, much more will be asked. (Luke 12:47-48)"
What Moral Advice Did Jesus Give? "Not everyone can accept this word, but only
those to whom it has been given. For some are eunuchs because they were born
that way; others were made that way by men; and others have renounced marriage
because of the kingdom of heaven. The one who can accept this should accept
it. (Matthew 19:11-12)" Some believers, including church father Origin, took this
verse literally and castrated themselves. Even metaphorically, this advice is in poor
taste.
Also, for those priests and ministers who never marry and supposedly remain
"virgins" for the rest of their lives, how can they be purified from sins, when all
they do is masturbate 6,7 times everyday of their lives??? How can any Christian
explain the child molestation and rapping that had been done by the priests and
ministers of churches?

Jesus is totally irrational!!


If you do something wrong with your eye or hand, cut/pluck it off (Matthew 5:2930, in a sexual context).
Marrying a divorced woman is adultery. (Matthew 5:32)
Don't plan for the future. (Matthew 6:34)
Don't save money. (Matthew 6:19-20)
Don't become wealthy. (Mark 10:21-25)
Sell everything and give it to the poor. (Luke 12:33)
Don't work to obtain food. (John 6:27)
Don't have sexual urges. (Matthew 5:28)

Make people want to persecute you. (Matthew 5:11)


If someone steals from you, don't try to get it back. (Luke 6:30)
If someone hits you, invite them to do it again. (Matthew 5:39)
If you lose a lawsuit, give more than the judgment. (Matthew 5:40)
If someone forces you to walk a mile, walk two miles. (Matthew 5:41)
If anyone asks you for anything, give it to them without question. (Matthew 5:42)
The above statements are beautiful in terms of teaching good morals and
ethics, but they are quite irrational and extreme. Jesus was totally unrealistic
in most of his teachings. We can't use them in our daily lives. They're
obviously useless!.
Was Jesus Reliable? Jesus told his disciples that they would not die before his
second coming: "There be some standing here, which shall not taste of death, till
they see the Son of man coming in his kingdom" (Matthew 16:28). "Behold, I
come quickly." (Revelation 3:11) It's been 2,000 years, and believers are still
waiting for his "quick" return.
Jesus said that whoever calls somebody a "fool" shall be in danger of hell
fire (Matthew 5:22), yet he called people "fools" himself (Matthew 23:17).
We also read about children bashing in the Old Testament without any mercy as
well: "O Daughter of Babylon, doomed to destruction, happy is he who repays you
for what you have done to us- he who seizes your infants and dashes them against
the rocks. (Psalm 137:8-9)"
And also we read "Whoever is captured will be thrust through; all who are caught
will fall by the sword. Their infants will be dashed to pieces before their eyes;
their houses will be looted and their wives ravished. (Isaiah 13:16)"
Ask a Christian friend whether he or she should feel happy to dash a child against
the rocks. Your friend will most likely stare at you in horror, much less believe this
idea exists in their sacred Bible.
Many Churches have found these verses as quite embarrassing. It gives no wonder
then why priests, Jews, and Christians alike, have quoted from Psalm 137, but
always leaving out this last verse.
These verses are never taught in Sunday schools.

Cruelty in the New Testament

And I will smite the inhabitants of this city, both man and beast: they shall
die of a great pestilence.--Jer.21:6
The book, called the Bible, is filled with passages equally horrible, unjust
and atrocious. This is the book to be read in schools in order to make our
children loving, kind and gentle! This is the book they wish to be recognized
in our Constitution as the source of all authority and justice! -- Robert
Green Ingersoll, The Gods, (1872)
Matthew
1. Those who bear bad fruit will be cut down and burned "with
unquenchable fire." 3:10, 12
2. Jesus strongly approves of the law and the prophets. He hasn't the
slightest objection to the cruelties of the Old Testament. 5:17
3. Jesus recommends that to avoid sin we cut off our hands and pluck
out our eyes. This advice is given immediately after he says that
anyone who looks with lust at any women commits adultery.5:29-30
4. Jesus says that most people will go to hell. 7:13-14
5. Those who fail to bear "good fruit" will be "hewn down, and cast into
the fire." 7:19
6. "The children of the kingdom [the Jews] shall be cast out into outer
darkness: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth." 8:12
7. Jesus tells a man who had just lost his father: "Let the dead bury the
dead." 8:21
8. Jesus sends some devils into a herd of pigs, causing them to run off
a cliff and drown in the waters below. 8:32
9. Cities that neither "receive" the disciples nor "hear" their words will be
destroyed by God. It will be worse for them than for Sodom and
Gomorrah. And you know what God supposedly did to those poor
folks (see Gen 19:24). 10:14-15

10.
Families will be torn apart because of Jesus (this is one of the
few "prophecies" in the Bible that has actually come true). "Brother
shall deliver up the brother to death, and the father the child: and the
children shall rise up against their parents, and cause them to be put
to death." 10:21
11.
Jesus says that we should fear God who is willing and "able to
destroy both soul and body in hell."10:28
12.
Jesus says that he has come to destroy families by making
family members hate each other. He has "come not to send peace,
but a sword." 10:34-36
13.
Jesus condemns entire cities to dreadful deaths and to the
eternal torment of hell because they didn't care for his
preaching. 11:20-24
14.
Jesus will send his angels to gather up "all that offend" and
they "shall cast them into a furnace of fire: there shall be wailing and
gnashing of teeth." 13:41-42, 50
15.
Jesus is criticized by the Pharisees for not washing his hands
before eating. He defends himself by attacking them for not killing
disobedient children according to the commandment: "He that
curseth father or mother, let him die the death." (See Ex 21:15, Lev
20:9, Dt 21:18-21) So, does Jesus think that children who curse their
parents should be killed? It sure sounds like it. 15:4-7
16.
"Every plant, which my heavenly Father hath not planted, shall
be rooted up." 15:13
17.
Jesus advises his followers to mutilate themselves by cutting
off their hands and plucking out their eyes. He says it's better to be
"maimed" than to suffer "everlasting fire." 18:8-9
18.
In the parable of the unforgiving servant, the king threatens to
enslave a man and his entire family to pay for a debt. This practice,
which was common at the time, seems not to have bothered Jesus
very much. The parable ends with this: "So likewise shall my

heavenly Father do also unto you." If you are cruel to others, God will
be cruel to you. 18:23-35
19.
"And his lord was wroth, and delivered him to the
tormentors." 18:34
20.
God is like a rich man who owns a vineyard and rents it to poor
farmers. When he sends servants to collect the rent, the tenants beat
or kill them. So he sent his son to collect the rent, and they kill him
too. Then the owner comes and kills the farmers and rents the
vineyard to others. 21:33-41
21.
"Whosoever shall fall on this stone shall be broken: but on
whomsoever it shall fall, it will grind him to powder." Whoever falls on
"this stone" (Jesus) will be broken, and whomever the stone falls on
will be ground into powder. 21:44
22.
In the parable of the marriage feast, the king sends his
servants to gather everyone they can find, both bad and good, to
come to the wedding feast. One guest didn't have on his wedding
garment, so the king tied him up and "cast him into the outer
darkness" where "there shall be weeping and gnashing of
teeth." 22:1-14
23.
The end of the world will be signaled by wars, famines,
disease, and earthquakes (6-7). And that's just "the beginning of
sorrows" (8). Next believers will be hated and killed by unbelievers
(9), believers will hate and betray each other (10), false prophets will
fool people (11), iniquity will abound and love wax cold (12). But hey,
if you make through all that, you'll be saved (13).
Only one more thing will happen before the end comes: the gospel
will be preached throughout the world (14). Well, that and the
abomination of desolations will stand in the holy place (15), many
false Christs and false prophets will show great signs and wonders
(24), the sun and moon will be darkened and the stars will fall (29),
the sign of the son of Man will appear in the sky, everyone on earth

will mourn, and then, finally, the great and powerful son of Man will
come in all his glory (30).
Oh, and all these things will happen within the lifespan of Jesus'
contemporaries (34).
Or maybe not. Jesus was talking about things he knew nothing about
(36). (See Mark 13:32.) 24:3-51
24.
Jesus had no problem with the idea of drowning everyone on
earth in the flood. It'll be just like that when he returns. 24:37
25.
God will come when people least expect him and then he'll "cut
them asunder." And "there shall be weeping and gnashing of
teeth." 24:50-51
26.
The parable of the cruel and unjust master
The kingdom of heaven is like a rich man who distributed his wealth
to his servants while he traveled. He gave five talents (a talent was a
unit of money, worth about 20 years of a worker's wages) to one
servant, two to another, and one to a third. When he returned, the
servant with five talents had made five more, the servant with two
made two more, but the servant with one talent only had the talent his
master entrusted to him. The master rewarded the servants that
invested his money (without his permission -- what would have
happened if the stock market went down during their master's
travels?) and took the talent from the single-talent servant and gave it
to the one with ten talents. "For unto every one that hath shall be
given .. but from him that hath not shall be taken away even that
which he hath." Then the cruel and unjust master cast the servant
who carefully protected his master's talent into the "outer darkness:
[where] there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth." 25:14-30
27.
The servant who kept and returned his master's talent was cast
into the "outer darkness" where there will be "weeping and gnashing
of teeth." 25:30
28.

Jesus judges the nations. 25:31-46

29.
Jesus tells us what he has planned for those that he dislikes.
They will be cast into an "everlasting fire." 25:41
30.

Jesus says the damned will be tormented forever. 25:46

Mark
31.
Jesus explains why he speaks in parables: to confuse people
so they will go to hell. 4:11-12
32.
Jesus sends devils into 2000 pigs, causing them to jump off a
cliff and be drowned in the sea. When the people hear about it, they
beg Jesus to leave. 5:12-13
33.
Any city that doesn't "receive" the followers of Jesus will be
destroyed in a manner even more savage than that of Sodom and
Gomorrah. 6:11
34.
Jesus criticizes the Jews for not killing their disobedient
children as required by Old Testament law. (See Ex 21:15, Lev
20:9, Dt 21:18-21) 7:9-10
35.
Jesus tells us to cut off our hands and feet, and pluck out our
eyes to avoid going to hell. 9:43-49
36.
God is like a rich man who owns a vineyard and rents it to poor
farmers. When he sends servants to collect the rent, the tenants beat
or kill them. So he sent his son to collect the rent, and they kill him
too. Then the owner comes and kills the farmers and gives the
vineyard to others. 12:1-9
37.
Jesus tells his disciples to eat his body and drink his
blood. 14:22-24
38.
Jesus says that those that believe and are baptized will be
saved, while those who don't will be damned. 16:16
Luke

39.
Zechariah asks the angel Gabriel how his wife Elizabeth could
become pregnant, since she is "stricken with years." Gabriel makes
him "dumb" just for asking. 1:20
40.
Those who fail to bear "good fruit" will be "hewn down, and cast
into the fire." 3:9
41.
John the Baptist says that Christ will burn the damned "with fire
unquenchable." 3:17
42.
Jesus heals a naked man who was possessed by many devils
by sending the devils into a herd of pigs, causing them to run off a
cliff and drown in the sea. This messy, cruel, and expensive (for the
owners of the pigs) treatment did not favorably impress the local
residents, and Jesus was asked to leave. 8:27-37
43.
Jesus says that entire cities will be violently destroyed and the
inhabitants "thrust down to hell" for not "receiving" his
disciples. 10:10-15
44.
Jesus says that we should fear God since he has the power to
kill us and then torture us forever in hell. 12:5
45.
Jesus says that God is like a slave-owner who beats his slaves
"with many stripes." 12:46-47
46.

"Except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish." 13:3, 5

47.
According to Jesus, only a few will be saved; the vast majority
will suffer eternally in hell where "there shall be weeping and
gnashing of teeth." 13:23-30
48.
In the parable of the rich man and Lazarus, the rich man goes
to hell, because as Abraham explains, he had a good life on earth
and so now he will be tormented. Whereas Lazarus, who was
miserable on earth, is now in heaven. This seems fair to
Jesus. 16:19-31
49.
Jesus believed the story of Noah's ark. He thought it really
happened and had no problem with the idea of God drowning
everything and everybody. 17:26-27

50.
Jesus also believes the story about Sodom's destruction. He
says, "even thus shall it be in the day the son of man is revealed ...
Remember Lot's wife." This tells us about Jesus' knowledge of
science and history, and his sense of justice. 17:29-32
51.
In the parable of the talents, Jesus says that God takes what is
not rightly his, and reaps what he didn't sow. The parable ends with
the words: "bring them [those who preferred not to be ruled by him]
hither, and slay them before me." 19:22-27
52.
Jesus tells his disciples to eat his body and drink his
blood. 22:19-20
John
53.
Jesus believed the stupid and vicious story from Numbers 21.
(God sent snakes to bite the people for complaining about the lack of
food and water. Then God told Moses to make a brass snake to cure
them from the bites.) 3:14
54.
"God so loved the world, that he gave his His only begotten
Son."
As an example to parents everywhere and to save the world (from
himself), God had his own son tortured and killed. 3:16
55.
People are damned or saved depending only on what they
believe. 3:18, 36
56.

The "wrath of God" is on all unbelievers. 3:36

57.
Jesus believes people are crippled by God as a punishment for
sin. He tells a crippled man, after healing him, to "sin no more, lest a
worse thing come unto thee." 5:14
58.
Those who do not believe in Jesus will be cast into a fire to be
burned. 15:6
59.
Jesus says we must eat his flesh and drink his blood if we want
to have eternal life. This idea was just too gross for "many of his
disciples" and "walked no more with him." (They are called
Protestants nowadays.) 6:53-66

Acts
60.
Peter claims that Dt 18:18-19 refers to Jesus, saying that those
who refuse to follow him (all non-Christians) must be killed. 3:23
61.
Peter and God scare Ananias and his wife to death for not
forking over all of the money that they made when selling their
land. 5:1-10
62.
Peter has a dream in which God show him "wild beasts, and
creeping things, and fowls." The voice (God's?) says, "Rise, Peter: kill
and eat." 10:10-13
63.
Peter describes the vision that he had in the last chapter
(10:10-13). All kinds of beasts, creeping things, and fowls drop down
from the sky in a big sheet, and a voice (God's, Satan's?) tells him to
"Arise, Peter; slay and eat." 11:5-10
64.
The "angel of the Lord" killed Herod by having him "eaten of
worms" because "he gave not God the glory." 12:23
65.

David was "a man after [God's] own heart." 13:22

66.
The author of Acts talks about the "sure mercies of David." But
David was anything but merciful. For an example of his behavior
see 2 Sam 12:31 and 1 Chr 20:3, where he saws, hacks, and burns
to death the inhabitants of several cities. 13:34
67.
Paul and the Holy Ghost conspire together to make Elymas
(the sorcerer) blind. 13:8-11
Romans
68.
Homosexuals (those "without natural affection") and their
supporters (those "that have pleasure in them") are "worthy of death"
- - along with gossips, boasters, and disobedient children. 1:31-32
69.
The guilty are "justified" and "saved from wrath" by the blood of
an innocent victim. 5:9
70.
God punishes everyone for someone else's sin; then he saves
them by killing an innocent victim.5:12

71.
"If ... we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son", then
God is truly a monster. 5:10
1 Corinthians
72.
If you defile the temple of God, God will destroy you. 3:17

Paul claims that God killed 23,000 in a plague for "committing
whoredom with the daughters of Moab 10:8
74.
If you tempt Christ (How could you tempt Christ?), you'll will die
from snake bites. 10:9

If you murmur, you'll be destroyed by the destroyer
(God). 10:10

God had his son murdered to keep himself from hurting others
for things they didn't do. 1:7

The bloody death of Jesus smelled good to God. 5:2

God bought us with someone else's blood. 1:14

God makes peace through blood. 1:19-20

1 Thessalonians
84.
God is planning a messy, mass murder in "the wrath to come"
and only Jesus can save you from it.1:10
85.
Christians shouldn't mourn the death of their fellow believers.
They'll be OK and you'll see them later in heaven. The people you
should mourn are dead nonbelievers. They have no hope (because
they're going to hell). 4:13
2 Thessalonians
86.
Jesus will take "vengeance on them that know not God" by
burning them forever "in flaming fire."1:7-9
87.
Jesus will "consume" the wicked "with the spirit of his
mouth." 2:8

God will cause us to believe lies so that he can damn our souls
to hell. 2:11-12

89.
"That which beareth thorns and briers is rejected, and is nigh
unto cursing; whose end is to be burned."
Apostates will burn in hell with the other non-believers. 6:8
90.
"Melchisedec ... met Abraham returning from the slaughter of
the kings, and blessed him."
God showed his approval of "the slaughter of the kings" with
Melchisedec's blessing of Abraham. (Genesis 14:17-18) 7:1

91.
God will not forgive anyone unless something is killed for him in
a bloody manner. 9:13-22
92.
"A certain fearful looking for of judgment and fiery indignation,
which shall devour the adversaries."
God will soon destroy non-believers in a fiery hell. 10:27
93.
Those who disobeyed the Old Testament law were killed
without mercy. It will be much worse for those who displease
Jesus. 10:28-29
94.
"Vengeance belongeth unto me, I will recompense, saith the
Lord." 10:30
95.
"It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living
God." 10:31
96.
"Abraham ... offered up Isaac ... his only begotten son." (And
this was a good thing? How fucked up is that?) 11:17
97.
The Israelites kept the passover and sprinkled blood on
doorposts so that God wouldn't kill their firstborn children (like he did
the Egyptians in Exodus 12:29). 11:28
98.
God saved Rahab because she believed. (He killed all the nonbelievers in Jericho.) 11:31
99.
"Time would fail me to tell of Gideon, and of Barak, and of
Samson, and of Jephthah; of David also, and Samuel, and of the
prophets."
The heroes of faith: Gideon, Samson, Jephthah, David, and Samuel.
It would be hard to find a more monstrous group than these
guys. 11:32
100.
"Others were tortured ... that they might obtain a better
resurrection." 11:35
101.
God ordered animals to be "stoned, or thrust through with a
dart" if they "so much as ... touch the mountain." 12:20

102.
"Ye are come ... to the blood of sprinkling, that speaketh better
things that that of Abel." 12:22-24
James
103.
James says Abraham was justified by works (for being willing to
kill his son for God); Paul (Romans 4:2-3) says he was justified by
faith (for believing that God would order him to do such an evil
act).2:21
1 Peter
104.
We are all, according to Peter, predestined to be saved or
damned. We have no say in the matter. It was all determined by "the
sprinkling of the blood of Jesus Christ."1:2
105.
"The precious blood of Christ ... was foreordained before the
foundation of the world."
God planned to kill Jesus from the get-go. 1:19-20
106.
God drowned everyone on earth except for Noah and his
family. 3:20
2 Peter
107.
God drowned everyone else on earth except for Noah and his
family. 2:5, 3:6
108.
"Turning the cities of Sodom and Gomorrha into ashes" 2:6
109.
God will set the entire earth on fire so that he can burn nonbelievers to death. 3:7
110.
When Jesus returns, he'll burn up the whole earth and
everything on it. 3:10
1 John
111.

Christians are washed in the blood of Jesus. 1:7

Christian Enmity and Hatred


Do not think that I have come to bring peace on earth; I have not come to bring
peace, but with a sword. For I have come to set a man against his father, and a
daughter against her mother, and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law; and
a man's foes will be those of his own household. He who loves father or mother
more than me is not worthy. (Matthew 10:34-37)

All this
enmity from
the "Prince of
Peace!"

Woe to you, Chorazin! woe to you, Bethsaida! ...But I tell you, it shall be more
tolerable on the day of judgment for Tyre and Sidon than for you. And you,
Capernaum, will you be exalted to heaven? You shall be brought down. (Luke
10:13)

Ditto.

And every one who has left houses or brothers or sisters or father or mother or
children or lands, for my name's sake, will receive a hundred-fold, and inherit
eternal life. (Matthew 19:29)

By definition,
Jesus is a
cult leader and a very
effective one
with big
enticement.

Do you think I have come to give peace on earth? No, I tell you, but rather division;
for henceforth in one house there will be five divided, three against two and two
against three; they will be divided, father against son and son against father,
mother against daughter and daughter against mother, mother-in-law against
daughter-in-law and daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law. (Luke 12:51-53)

Phew! That's
alotta
"againsts"!
And enemies.

If anyone comes to me and does not hate his own father and mother and wife and
children and brothers and sisters, yes, and even his own life, he cannot be my
disciple. (Luke 14:26)

More cult
brainwashing
and hatred.

For nation will rise up against nation, and kingdom against kingdom, and there will
be famines and earthquakes in various places: all this is but the beginning of the
sufferings. (Matthew 24:7-8)

Setting the
stage - why
would any
"good" and
"omnipotent"
God cause or
allow this to
happen?

But I say to you that hear, Love your enemies, do good to those who curse you...
(Luke 6:27-8)

Why do you
have enemies
in the first
place?
Because of all
the enmity
and hatred.

Christian Fascism

I tell you, on the day of judgment men will render account for every careless word
they utter; for by your words you will be justified, and by your words you will be
condemned. (Matthew 12:36-37)

We can kill
someone, as
long as we
speak
properly.

You are my friends if you do what I command you. (John 15:14)

Yeah, that's
what I tell all
my friends
too.

Let every person be subject to the governing authorities. For there is no authority
except from God, and those that exist have been instituted by God. Therefore he
who resists the authorities resists what God has appointed, and those who resist
will incur judgment. For rulers are not a terror to good conduct, but to bad. Would
you have no fear of him who is in authority? Then do what is good, and you will
receive his approval, for he is God's servant for your good. But if you do wrong, be
afraid, for he does not bear the sword in vain; he is the servant of God to execute
his wrath on the wrongdoer. Therefore one must be subject, not only to avoid
God's wrath but also for the sake of conscience. For the same reason you also pay
taxes to whom taxes are due, revenue to whom revenue is due, respect to whom
respect is due, honor to whom honor is due. (Romans 13:1-7)

Gee, I wonder
who wrote
these
passages?

Be subject for the Lord's sake to every human institution, whether it be to the
emperor as supreme, or to governors as sent by him to punish those who do
wrong and to praise those who do right.... Fear God. Honor the emperor. (1 Peter
2:17)

There's the
answer.

Remind them to be submissive to rulers and authorities, to be obedient, to be


ready for any honest work ...(Titus 3:1)

How
convenient for
the rulers!

Obey your leaders and submit to them; for they are keeping watch over your
souls, as men who will have to give account. (Hebrews 13:17)

Truly
Christianity is
a religion
created by
rabblerousers!

Render unto Caesar what is Caesar's. (Matthew 22:21)

Now, in whose
interest would
it be for
"Jesus" to
exhort people
to give all
their money
to the
emperor?

Love does not insist on its own way... (1 Corinthians 13:5)

So why do
Christians?

Christian Bigotry, Racism and Murderous Intent

For what have I to do with judging outsiders? Is it not those inside the church
whom you are to judge? Go judge those outside. "Drive out the wicked person
from among you." (1 Corinthians 5:12-13)

The
Watchtower of
the Jehovah's
Witnesses says
of this passage:
"Today, the
Bible-based
practice of
disfellowshipping
unrepentant
wrongdoers has
served to keep
our worship
clean and pure."

Judge not, that you be not judged. For with the judgment you pronounce you
will be judged, and the measure you give will be the measure you get. (Matthew
7:1-2)

Just a tad
schizophrenic
with the above and the day of
judgment.

You brood of vipers! how can you speak good, when you are evil? (Matthew
12:34)

And Jesus
spends half of

Woe to you scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! .... You serpents, you brood of
vipers, how are you to escape being sentenced to hell! (Matthew 23:29-33)

And on it goes.

You are of your father the devil, and your will is to do your father's desires.
(John 8:44)

Jesus is a selfhating Jew.

...a Canaanite woman ...came out and cried, "Have mercy on me, O Lord, Son
of David; my daughter is severely possessed by a demon. But he did not answer
her a word. And his disciples came and begged him, saying, "Send her away, for
she is crying after us." He answered, "I was sent only to the lost sheep of the
house of Israel." But she came and knelt before him, saying, "Lord, help me."
And he answered, "It is not fair to take the children's bread and throw it to the
dogs." (Matthew 15:23)

A woman of a
different
ethnicity
approaches the
Savior with a
sick daughter,
and he ignores
her and then
calls her a dog!
And only the
house of Israel is
to be saved.

It is actually reported that there is immorality among you, and of a kind that is
not found even among pagans; for a man is living with his father's wife.... Let
him who has done this be removed from among you.... with the power of Lord
Jesus, you are to deliver this man to Satan, for the destruction of the flesh, that
his spirit may be saved in the day of the Lord Jesus. (1 Corinthians 5:1-5)

In other words,
it's best to
murder him in
order to "save"
him.

For there are many insubordinate men, empty talkers and deceivers, especially
the circumcision party; they must be silenced ...(Titus 1:10-11)

In other words,

...Zion ...But you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, God's
own people ...(1 Peter 2:6-9)

But I say to you that every one who looks at a woman lustfully has already
committed adultery with her in his heart. (Matthew 5:27)

Is it any
wonder that
they're so
uptight?
Attraction
and flirting
are sins!

But I say to you, Do not resist one who is evil. But if any one strikes you on the
right cheek, turn to him the other also. (Matthew 5:39)

Throw out
the wicked
one from
among you,
but do not
resist him?
And not only
a pacifist but
a masochist.

Woe to the world for temptation! ...And if your hand or foot causes you to sin, cut it
off and throw it from you; it is better for you to enter life maimed or lame than with
two hands or two feet to be thrown into the eternal fire. And if your eye causes you
to sin, pluck it out and throw it from you; it is better for you to enter life with one
eye than with two eyes to be thrown into the hell of fire. (Matthew 17:7-9)

We don't see
a lot of selfmutilated

For there are eunuchs who have been so from birth, and there are eunuchs who
have been made eunuchs by men, and there are eunuchs who have made
themselves eunuchs for the kingdom of heaven. He who is able to receive this, let
him receive it. (Matthew 19:12)

And
castrated!
Perhaps
most are.

I do not understand my own actions. For I do not do what I want, but I do the very
thing I hate. (1 Corinthians 6:15)

No wonder,

...God chose what is foolish in the world to shame the wise, God chose what is weak
in the world to shame the strong. (1 Corinthians 1:27)

God would

Be wretched and mourn and weep. Let your laughter be turned to mourning and
your joy to dejection. Humble yourselves before the Lord and he will exalt you.

Therefore I tell you, do not be anxious about your life, what you shall eat, nor about

that in this

Christians
should be
running
around halfstarved and
naked,
giving all

away.

One thing you still lack. Sell all that you have and distribute it to the poor ...(Luke
18:22)

And now for

expect the
rich rulers to

the poor you do it!
And then
you'll be
poor, so
someone
else will have
to sell their

and give
their money
to you! Is
this a
pyramid
scheme?

For his disciples had gone away into the city to buy food. (John 3:8)

With what
money? And

...but whoever denies me before men, I will also deny before my Father who is in

What a

And every one who speaks a word against the Son of man will be forgiven... (Luke
12:10)

Get it
straight which is it?

Truly, truly, I say to you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of man and drink his
blood, you have no life in you; he who eats my flesh and drinks my blood has
eternal life. For my flesh is food indeed, and my blood is drink indeed. He who eats
my flesh and drinks my blood abides in me, and I in him.... (John 6:53-53)

Christian Sexism and Slavery


It is well for a man not to touch a woman. But because of the temptation to
immorality, each man should have his own wife and each woman her own husband. 1
Corinthians 7:1-2

Touching
women is
immoral.

But I want you to understand that the head of every man is Christ, the head of every
woman is her husband, and the head of Christ is God.... any woman who prays or
prophesies with her head unveiled dishonors her head ...For if a woman will not veil
herself, then she should cut off her hair ...For a man ought not to cover his head;
since he is the image and glory of God; but woman is the glory of man. (For man was

making the
man the
creator of
human life,
rather than
the woman.
Man is
woman's
God.

Wives, be submissive to your husbands, as to the Lord. For the husband is head of
the wife as Christ is the head of the church, his body, and is himself its Savior. As the
church is subject to Christ, so let wives also be subject in everything to their
husbands. (Ephesians 5:21-24)

Again, the
man is
basically
equivalent
with God.

...the women should keep silence in the churches. For they are not permitted to
speak, but should be subordinate, as even the law says. If there is anything they
desire to know, let them ask their husbands at home. For it is shameful for a woman
to speak in church. (1 Corinthians 14:34-35)

It is
shameful
for a
woman to
BE in
church in
the first
place.

Let a woman learn in silence with all submissiveness. I permit no woman to teach or
have authority over men; she is to keep silent. For Adam was formed first, then Eve;
and Adam was not deceived, but the woman was deceived and became a
transgressor. Yet woman will be saved through bearing children, if she continues in
faith and love and holiness, with modesty. (1 Timothy 11:15)

Wives, be subject to your husband, as is fitting in the Lord. Husbands, love your
wives, and do not be harsh with them. Children, obey your parents in everything, for
this pleases the Lord. Fathers, do not provoke your children, lest they become
discouraged. Slaves, obey in everything those who are your earthly masters, not with
eyeservice, as men-pleasers, but in singleness of heart, fearing the Lord. (Colossians
3:18-22)

Sure,
women,
children
and slaves
- put up
with your
indentured
status, for
men's
sakes.

....and so train the young women to love their husbands and children, to be sensible,
chaste, domestic, kind, and submissive to their husbands, that the word of God may
not be discredited.... Bid slaves to be submissive to their masters and to give
satisfaction in every respect ...(Titus 2:4-9)

God that
women and

No one could learn that song except the hundred and forty-four thousand who had
been redeemed from the earth. It is these who have not defiled themselves with
women, for they are chaste ...Revelation 14:3-4

So the

women are

Slaves, be obedient to those who are your earthly masters, with fear and trembling,
in singleness of heart, as to Christ ...(Ephesians 6:5)

Let all who are under the yoke of slavery regard their masters as worthy of all honor,
so that the name of God and the teaching may not be defamed. (1 Timothy 6)

Slavery
itself
doesn't
defame
God's

Servants, be submissive to your masters with all respect, not only to the kind and
gentle but to the overbearing. For one is approved if, mindful of God, he endures pain
while suffering unjustly. For what credit is it, if when you do wrong and are beaten for
it you take it patiently? But if when you do right and suffer for it you take it patiently,
you have God's approval. 1 Peter 2:18-20

So, if God
is "good"
and is in
charge of
everything,
why does
anyone
suffer
unjustly?
Unless God
is a sadist,

Quotes on the Bible

The Old Testament, as everyone who has looked into it is aware, drips with
blood; there is, indeed, no more bloody chronicle in all the literature of the world
Henry L. Mencken

The Old Testament is a chronicle of horrors, describing an egocentric collection of


supernatural beings who were always doing rotten things to gentle souls like Job
John Keel

If a man would follow, today, the teachings of the Old Testament, he would be a
criminal. If he would strictly follow the teachings of the New, he would be insane
Robert Ingersoll

There would be no need for the women's movement if the church and Bible
hadn't abused them
Father Leo Booth

The mass of people who are Bible-taught never get free from the erroneous
impressions stamped on their minds in their infancy, so that their manhood or
womanhood can have no intellectual fulfillment, and millions of them only attain
mentally to a sort of second childhood
Gerald Massey

To me it is astonishing how thoughtful men, who have read accounts of the


Mexicans and the Peruvians, can continue to believe that the Bible is the book of

God, written by holy men, whose thoughts and diction were essentially those of
the third person in the Trinity. Who can assert that Abraham and Jacob, Moses
and Aaron, were taught of God, and that to the Hebrews alone has the Creator
revealed His will? Who can see, in the sensual king David, a man after God's
heart, and applaud the brutal murder of Agag, the destruction of the priests of
Baal, by the orders of Elijah, and the extermination of the Baalites in Israel by
Jehu?
Ah, it is time for civilized men to cease their admiration for a book which has
produced such frightful fruits, and which has converted millions of human beings
into incarnate fiends.
The Vedas and the Shasters - the writings of the Buddhists, and those of the
Parsees and the Chinese, contain, nowhere, such a justification of wholesale
murder, as do the scriptures of the Jews and of the Christians. From these have
been drawn the power to persecute, and, if possible, to exterminate those who
worship God in a different fashion to those in power. Calvin was as bad as
Torquemada Everywhere the professed followers of Jesus assume the power to
torment their opponents, whenever they can do so without breaking the civil
law, and there are few pulpits from which the voice of revilement, contumely,
and denunciation is not repeatedly heard.
Dr. Thomas Inman, British Royal Physician, Ancient Faiths and Modern, 61-62

If you believe that exposing your children to violence is a problem, by all means
keep them away from the Bible.
Rev. Charles Henderson
("our Christianity Guide, offers his startling take on kids, violence, and culture in
the wake of Columbine and Kosovo.")

The Hebrew Pentateuch has not only retarded the growth of science in Europe
for eighteen centuries, but the ignorant believers in it as a book of revelation
have tried to strangle every science at its birth. There could be and was but little
or no progress in astronomy, geology, biology, or sociology until its teachings
were rejected by the more enlightened among men - the free thinkers and
demonstrators of the facts. The progress has been in proportion to the
repudiation; and, for myself, the nearer I draw towards death the more earnestly
- nay, vengefully - do I resent the false teachings that have embittered my life not for myself only, but more for others, and most of all for the children.
Remember, the education of English children to-day is chiefly in the hands of the
orthodox teachers, who still give the Bible all the preference over nature and
science, and who will go on deluding the innocent little ones as long as ever they
are paid or permitted to do so. But what a dastardly shame it is for us to allow
the children to be taught that which we know to be false, or do not ourselves
believe to be true! The present calls upon you with an appealing voice to protect
the unborn future against this terrible tyranny of the past. Do not any longer let

the winding-sheet of death be the swaddling-bands put on the helpless little


ones for life at their intellectual birth. It is appalling to think of the populations
that have already passed on victimized, the lives that have been wrecked, the
brains that have been bruised, and the hearts broken of those who have dashed
themselves against these barriers to human progress and the freedom of
thought, which were ignorantly erected and then made sacred in the name of
God, by means of this Hebrew Book of the Beginnings; in short, by a
literalisation of mythology.
Gerald Massey

We can now say with considerable confidence that the Bible is not a history of
anyone's past.... The Bible's "Israel" is a literary fiction... Not only have Adam
and Eve and the flood story passed over to mythology, but we can no longer talk
about a time of the patriarchs. There never was a "United Monarchy" in history
and it is meaningless to speak of pre-exilic prophets and their writings... The
Bible deals with the origin traditions of a people who never existed as such
Thomas L. Thompson

Dr. Colenso, Bishop of Natal, stands out conspicuously. Of the highest


intellectual attainments, trained to close and scientific inquiry; able, far better
than men of meaner capacity, to weigh the value of "evidence," whether "ancient
or modern," he has drawn the conclusion that the Bible is not what it is generally
supposed to be; in other words, that its historical portions are not trustworthy,
and that there is grave reason to believe its writings to have been produced for a
purpose, which involved dishonesty in the scribe, and in the promulgator of his
writings. The learned doctor was honest in his investigation, and fearless in
announcing his conclusions.
Dr. Thomas Inman, British Royal Physician, Ancient Faiths and Modern, 444

Such was the power of the world's theocracies that, despite the publication of
thousands of scholarly books and articles refuting every part of the JudaeoChristian bible, to this day the existence of unchallengeable proof that the bible
is a work of fiction is unknown to ninety percent of the population in Christiandominated societies.
William Harwood, Mythology's Last Gods: Yahweh and Jesus, 16

Who actually wrote [the Pentateuch or "five books of Moses"] remains unknown,
though the theories are endless. Scholars attribute the first two to a pair of
unknown authors they refer to as "J" because he calls his god

"Yahweh," originally a pagan Canaanite deity, and "E" who calls his god
"Elohim." These writers, writing in the 8th to 10th century B.C.E., were writing
four to five centuries after the events they were describing. They clearly revised
some of the doctrine, removing the lesser gods from the Hebrew pantheon, and
establishing rituals that set the Hebrews apart from their neighbors
These writers are describing events which allegedly occurred about 1200 B.C.E. I
say allegedly, because there is considerable doubt that the events described in
Exodus ever took place at all. Myth making looms large in religions of this time
and region, and was often used as a device to make a point, without regard to
historical accuracy
The fact is that with all that is known of Egyptian history from this time (since
scholars can now read the records the ancient Egyptians with the ease of a
modern newspaper), and the fact that the history of Egypt in this period is well
documented, there is no evidence from the records of Egypt itself that the
events of Exodus ever occurred, either archaeologically or documentarily. The
reality is that if a series of plagues had been visited upon Egypt, thousands of
slaves escaped in a mass runaway, and the army of the Pharaoh were swallowed
up by the Red Sea, such events would doubless have made it into the Egyptian
secular record. But the reality is that there isn't a single word describing any
such events.
In fact, we have no record of the Hebrews from Egyptian sources at all, until two
centuries later, about 1000 BCE, where they first appear being mentioned in
passing as a neighboring culture. Not a word about those escaped slaves over
there in Palestine
Scott Bidstrup

Quotes on Christianity
The truth is that Christian theology, like every other theology, is not only
opposed to the scientific spirit, it is also opposed to all attempts at rational
thinking.
Henry L. Mencken

Missionaries are perfect nuisances and leave every place worse than they found
it.
Charles Dickens

Every saint has a past and every sinner a future.


Oscar Wilde

During almost fifteen centuries has the legal establishment of Christianity been
on trial. What have been its fruits? More or less in all places, pride and indolence
in the Clergy, ignorance and servility in the laity, in both, superstition, bigotry
and persecution.
James Madison
Memorial and Remonstrance, 1785

The day will come when the mystical generation of Jesus, by the supreme being
as his father in the womb in a virgin, will be classed with the fable of the
generation of Minerva in the brain of Jupiter.
Thomas Jefferson, in a letter to John Adams

....Christianity is a monstrous fraud and delusion, that has desolated the earth
and filled the spirit world with demons.... there is not a tenet, dogma, doctrine,
ceremony, form or prayer, fast or feast, title of deity, form of church
government, official rank or religious observance of any kind, that is not identical
with some prototype to be found in one or more of the more ancient religious
systems.... no such person, man, or God, as Jesus Christ, had anything to do
with establishing the religion that has been taught in his name.... To get rid of
the damning fact that there is no historical basis for their theological fictions, the
Christian priesthood have been guilty of the heinous crime of destroying nearly
all traces of the concurrent history of the first two centuries of the Christian era.
What little of it they have permitted to come down to us, they have so altered
and changed, as to destroy its historical value.
JM Roberts, Esq.

False believing is ever the worst enemy of true doing; and every Sunday the
teaching of these legalized kidnappers of children, for compulsory inoculation of
their minds with the old theological virus, tends to nullify the good done by
education during the other six days of the week.
Gerald Massey

And hereafter, when [Christians] laugh at the Jewish superstition of a scapegoat, let them bear in mind that more sensible and intelligent people may laugh
in turn at their superstitious doctrine of a scape-God....The blood of a God must
atone for the sins of the whole human family ...Somebody must pay the penalty
in blood, somebody must be slaughtered for every little foible or peccadillo or
moral blunder into which erring man may chance to stumble while upon the

pilgrimage of life, while journeying through the wilderness of time, even if a God
has to be dragged down from his throne in heaven, and murdered to accomplish
it. Nothing less will mitigate the divine wrath.... Whose soul - possessing the
slightest moral sensibility - does not inwardly and instinctively revolt at such a
doctrine?
Kersey Graves

Our legends and our folk-tales are the sacred lore which you croon to your
infants. Our poems have filled your hymnals and your prayerbooks. Our national
history has become an indispensable part of the learning of your pastors and
priests and scholars. Our kings, our statesmen, our prophets, our warriors your
heroes. Our ancient little country is your Holy Land. Our national literature is
your Holy Bible. What our people thought and taught has become inextricably
woven into your speech and tradition, until no one among you can be called
educated who is not familiar with our racial heritage.
Jewish artisans and Jewish fishermen are your teachers and your saints, with
countless statues carved in their image and innumerable cathedrals raised in
their memories. A Jewish maiden is your ideal of motherhood and womanhood. A
Jewish rebel-prophet is the central figure in your religious worship. We have
pulled down your idols, cast aside your racial inheritance, and substituted for
them our God and our traditions. No conquest in history can even remotely
compare with this clean sweep over you.
Marcus Eli Ravage, Century Magazine

Christianity sprang out of Judaism. It has again withdrawn into Judaism. The
Christian from the outset was the theorizing Jew; the Jew is therefore the
practical Christian and the practical Christian has become a Jew. Christianity has
only seemed to overcome real Judaism ...Christianity is the sublime idea of
Judaism. Judaism is the common application of Christianity.
Karl Marx, a Jew and "clear and lucid Talmudist"
"On the Jewish Question," Selected Essays

Because of their capacity for distortion, the Jews are the most fateful people in
human history. In the course of their operations they have hoodwinked mankind
so much that, even to this day, the Christian can feel anti-Semitic without
realizing that he himself is the logical consequence of Judaism....
In the formulation of Christianity, the art of concocting holy lies, which is the
essence of Jewishness, after many centuries of earnest apprenticeship and
practice in Judea, has reached technical perfection. The Christian, who is the last
word in falsity, is the Jew repeating his type - thrice a Jew.

Little super-Jews, fit only for the madhouse, reversed all values to suit
themselves, as if the followers of Christ alone were the meaning, the salt, the
standard, and even the supreme court of mankind.... Such a calamity was only
possible because a species of megalomania, similar to this one, and racially like
it (orthodox Jewish) was already in existence. When a division appeared
between official Jews and Christian Jews, the latter had no alternative but to
employ the self-protective measures peculiar to the Jews themselves, whereas
the Jews had use it only against Gentiles. The Christian is only a noncomformist
Jew ...
Nietzsche

In all our history books, and especially in religious circles, we are told that
Christianity and the Jews were in opposition; that Christ denounced the Jews;
that the Jews crucified Christ. Even today we are being told in Kosher
Konservative circles that the main objective of the Jews is to destroy Christianity.
This is, of course, one of the biggest hoaxes in the history of the world. The facts
are plainly there for everyone to see. The Jews concocted Christianity as their
special poison to unhinge the minds of the Romans so that they would no longer
be able to maintain their civilization. This was the Jews' revenge for the
destruction of Jerusalem ...
Ben Klassen
Klassen was a "white supremacist," a purported survivor of the Jewish-Bolshevik
regime, which allegedly killed his family. However, his comments herein are
fairly accurate.

The Christian religion and Masonry have one and the same common origin: Both
are derived from the worship of the Sun. The difference between their origin is,
that the Christian religion is a parody on the worship of the Sun, in which they
put a man whom they call Christ, in the place of the Sun, and pay him the same
adoration which was originally paid to the Sun.
Thomas Paine

Historically, it is quite doubtful whether Christ ever existed at all, and if


He did we do not know anything about Him.
Bertrand Russell, "Why I am not a Christian."

In my freetime I practised singing in the choir of the monastery church at


Lambach, and thus it happened that I was placed in a very favourable position to

be emotionally impressed again and again by the magnificent splendour of


ecclesiastical ceremonial. What could be more natural for me than to look upon
the Abbot as representing the highest human ideal worth striving for, just as the
position of the humble village priest had appeared to my father in his own
boyhood days? At least, that was my idea for a while.
Adolf Hitler

The audience remained stoic as the Catholic mother and I regaled them with
horror stories of betrayal and sexual abuse of children by clergymen. But when
one of the clergymen on the show "exposed" the fact that I am an atheist, a
loud collective gasp was sounded from the good Christians in the audience. It
was a telling demonstration of that narrow bigotry, inculcated in so many
Christians, that goodness has far more to do with one's professions of faith than
with conduct and actions.
Annie Laurie Gaylor

Here the Catholic Church presents an instructive example. Clerical celibacy


forces the Church to recruit its priests not from their own ranks but progressively
from the masses of the people. Yet there are not many who recognize the
significance of celibacy in this relation. But therein lies the cause of the
inexhaustible vigour which characterizes that ancient institution. For by thus
unceasingly recruiting the ecclesiastical dignitaries from the lower classes of the
people, the Church is enabled not only to maintain the contact of instinctive
understanding with the masses of the population but also to assure itself of
always being able to draw upon that fund of energy which is present in this form
only among the popular masses. Hence the surprising youthfulness of that
gigantic organism, its mental flexibility and its iron will-power.
Adolf Hitler, expressing his admiration for the Church, Mein Kampf, I, 2

During the presidential campaign of 1880, the Christian Union made the startling
admission that, of the nineteen men who, up to that time, had held the office of
President of the United States, not one, with the possible exception of
Washington, had ever been a member of a Christian church.
John Remsburg

[Regarding the] Christian Myth, they know it is myth. In private discussions with
theologians, they shocked me by admitting they know it is all a myth. One Jesuit
told me, "Those stories are for the unthinking lay public." This changes the
problem from one of ignorance to one of lies and deceit.

Don Richards

Jesus is a mythical figure in the tradition of pagan mythology and almost nothing
in all of ancient literature would lead one to believe otherwise. Anyone wanting
to believe Jesus lived and walked as a real live human being must do so despite
the evidence, not because of it.
C. Dennis McKinsey

In regard to the Jewish problem, do not the two Christian denominations take up
a standpoint to-day which does not respond to the national exigencies or even
the interests of religion? Consider the attitude of a Jewish Rabbi towards any
question, even one of quite insignificant importance, concerning the Jews as a
race, and compare his attitude with that of the majority of our clergy, whether
Catholic or Protestant.
Confessed Christian Adolf Hitler, Mein Kampf, I, 3

Whether Protestant pastor or Catholic priest, each did his very utmost in helping
our powers of resistance to hold out, not only in the trenches but also, and even
more so, at home. During those years, and especially during the first outburst of
enthusiasm, in both religious camps there was one undivided and sacred
German Empire for whose preservation and future existence they all prayed to
Heaven.
Adolf Hitler, on WWI, Mein Kampf, I, 3

The rise and decline of the Pan-German movement on the one hand and the
marvellous progress of the Christian-Socialist Party on the other, became a
classic object of study for me, and as such they played an important part in the
development of my own views....
The Christian-Socialist leaders took care to avoid all controversy with the
institutions of religion and thus they secured the support of that mighty
organization, the Catholic Church. Those leaders recognized the value of
propaganda on a large scale and they were veritable virtuosos in working up the
spiritual instincts of the broad masses of their adherents....
The anti-Semitism of the Christian-Socialists was based on religious instead of
racial principles. The reason for this mistake gave rise to the second error also...
It was obvious, however, that this kind of anti-Semitism did not upset the Jews
very much, simply because it had a purely religious foundation. If the worst

came to the worst a few drops of baptismal water would settle the matter,
hereupon the Jew could still carry on his business safely and at the same time
retain his Jewish nationality.

1. The Old Testament God is Evil


1.1. God Creates Evil Regardless of Human Free Will
"I form the light and create darkness, I bring prosperity and create disaster;
I, the LORD do all these things." (Isaiah 45:7)
Isaiah 45:7 affirms that God creates darkness and disaster. It is not a
creation of mankind, nor of fallen beings or Satan. The Hebrew word here
that is translated as "disaster" could also mean "wickedness", "hurt",
"affliction" or "adversity". God creates these things directly. Any argument

that asserts that evil is a result of Human free will must first get over the
fact that the Christian Bible states that God creates evil and disaster itself.
Not only does this God create darkness and disaster, but it actively "does"
them too. For example in Job 42:11 God is described as doing evil to Job
as part of its test of Job even though Job is described as holy and
blameless. In other words, the evil done by God on Job was not the result
of Job's free will. Also, his children and animals are all slaughtered too, as
collateral damage1. God doesn't merely create evil and suffering as
possibilities, it actively chooses to do them itself.
Psalm 104:27-30 notes that God sometimes makes animals happy and
sometimes "terrifies them" as part of the daily rhythm of life as described in
general by Psalm 104, although the King James Version nicely tones this
down to "troubles" them.
The Book of Lamentations confirms that free will cannot stop evil, when evil
comes from God, nor can man stop goodness, when goodness comes from
God:
Who is he that can speak, and it happens, when the Lord command it not? 37
Out of the mouth of the Most High proceedeth not both evil and good?38
Lamentations 3:37-38

1.2. Satan and God are Interchangeable2

Yea, the darkness hideth not from thee; but the night shineth as the day:
the darkness and the light are both alike to thee.
Psalms 139:12 (KJV)

And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light.


2 Corinthians 11:14

As various authors copied copies of the Hebrew Scriptures, changes


accumulated in the stories. Sometimes, the same story appears twice.
There are even two accounts of the Creation that contradict each other in
the details. One such doubled story shows us clearly that the Old
Testament God is evil, and Satan itself is not a separate being, but is
actually part of God, a face of God. There is one occasion when David took

a census of his men in order to count how many could fight in the armies of
Israel. 1 Chronicles 21:2 and 2 Samuel 24:2 both contain a copy of the
exact same text:

So

David said to Joab and the

So the king said to Joab and the

commanders of the troops, "Go and


count the Israelites from Beersheba
to Dan. Then report back to me so
that I may know how many there

army commanders with him, "Go


throughout the tribes of Israel from
Dan to Beersheba and enroll the
fighting men, so that I may know

are."

how many there are."


1 Chronicles 21:2

2 Samuel 24:2

What had happened is that God had a rule: That David was not allowed to
'number' Israel. But, for some reason, David went ahead and did so. As a
result, God punished them all for breaking his rule. But, it is very telling
when we examine the preceding verse: Who inspired David to count
Israel's fighting men?
The anger of the LORD burned
Satan rose up against Israel and against
Israel, and he incited David
incited David to take a census of
Israel.

against them, saying, "Go and take


a census of Israel and Judah."

1 Chronicles 21:1

2 Samuel 24:1

In one copy of the story, we are told Satan told David to do so. In the other,
it was God. How can this be? It is because in the Old
Testament, Satan and God are the same being. Satan in the Old Testament
is merely the face that God puts on when it is testing its people. "The anger
of the Lord" is Satan. It was common in old religions (Hinduism, Roman
religions, etc) for gods to have multiple faces, each associated with
different emotions. In theChristian Bible, Satan is God.

A similar confusion of roles happens in the Book of Job. In Job 1:812 Satan approaches God and asks to test Job's loyalty to God. In Job
1:11 it is God who is asked "put forth thine hand now, and touch all that he
hath, and he will curse thee to thy face". Satan's idea is that if God
demolishes Job's good life, then Job will no longer be faithful to God.
But Satan can't do this itself as it is God that has the power to do evil. In
the next verse God gives that power toSatan:

And the LORD said unto Satan, Behold, all that he hath is in thy power;
only upon himself put not forth thine hand.
Job 1:12 [KJV]

So, Satan acts only when God gives it power to do so. Once again, we see
that God and Satan are merely two facets of the same being. One final
verse seals this idea. Who, when it comes to the concluding of the story in
chapter 42, is given the credit for bringing evil against Job? It is God itself:

[Job's friends and family] comforted him over all the evil that the LORD
had brought upon him.
Job 42:11 [KJV]

Other translations such as Young's Literal Translation phrase it in the same


way. God and Satan are intertwined.Satan can't do anything except by the
will of God. Psalms 139:12, 1 Chronicles 21:1-2 and 2 Samuel 24:1-2,
andJob 1:8-12, 42:11 all confuse good and evil, God and Satan into one
single creative force, with God being described as not only the source of
evil, but as its actual instigator. God cannot be benevolent.
1.3. Fear God3
"And the LORD repented of the evil which he thought to do unto his people"
Exodus 32:14

"The LORD is a man of war: the LORD is his name"


Exodus 15:3

"For thou shalt worship no other god: for the LORD, whose name is
Jealous, is a jealous God"
Exodus 34:14

"Blessed is everyone that feareth the Lord."


Psalms 128

The Old Testament describes God as angry, fearsome, destructive and


vengeful. In continual deviance from what a good god would do, and feel,
the God of the Old Testament sometimes repents of its own actions and
thoughts. How can a god that knows everything, and is never
wrong, repent? How can a good god even have evil thoughts, let alone do
evil actions?
It seems one thing that Old Testament gets right is its assertions that we
should fear god. See Lev. 25:17;Deut. 6:2, 6:13, 10:12, 10:20, 31:1213; Joshua 4:24; 1 Sam. 12:14; 2 Kings 17:39; Job 28:28; Psalms
19:9,25:14, 33:8, 33:18, 34:9, 96:4, 103:11, 103:17, 111:10,112:1, 115:13, 1
28:1, 147:11; Proverbs 1:7, 22:4, 24:21;Ecc. 5:7, 12:13; Jer. 5:22. We
should definitely fear such a god as this!
In Old Testament times, people were exposed to many different Gods.
Frequently, people would simply have to be scared into worshipping one
god over another. By representing it as powerful, destructive, jealous and
harsh, the Jews who wrote the Old Testament were affirming that they
believed their God should be worshipped, and other Gods should be
abandoned.
"The third century Church Father, Tertullian, could not imagine how God
could not demand fear":

But how are you going to love, without some fear that you do not love?
Surely [an unfeared God] is neither your Father, towards whom your love
for duty's sake should be consistent with fear because of His power; nor
your proper Lord, whom you should love for His humanity and fear as your

teacher.

Tertullian4
Quoted from "The Dark Side of Christian History" by Helen Ellerbe
(1995)5

1.4. Adam and Eve and Original Sin: The Immoral Schemes of God

The Adam and Eve story shows god as an immoral bad


parent, not as a loving God(2006)
The immoral doctrine of original sin, where children are punished for the
sins of their parents is hardly the scheme of a moral god.Adam and Eve
were punished with death, pain, suffering and caused the evil of all
mankind... yet they themselves 'sinned' before they knew the difference
between Good and Evil. God must be immoral, if it punishes innocent
people for sins they do not understand and could not resist.
1.5. The New Testament Tells us that the Old Testament God is Evil

2nd Century Marcionite Christians believed that the Old


Testament God was Evil (2006)
The author of the Gospel of Luke wrote that Jesus said that 'a tree is
known by its fruit' (Luke 6:43-44): "Good trees do not produce rotten fruit,
and rotten trees do not produce good fruit". The Old Testament God, who
says that he "creates evil" (Amos. 3:6, Isaiah 45:7), cannot therefore be a
'good tree', but must be a rotten one.Luke 12:5 warns us to fear God above
anything else in life. An ancient form of Christianity was preached by
Marcion, who realized that the God of the Old Testament must be Evil. As
Marcion believed that the Good News of the New Testament was the plan
of salvation from a good God, he believed that through Jesus the evil god
the Old Testament had been defeated.

2. The New Testament God is Also Evil


Jesus and the Disciples accepted the Old Testament as God's word. They
could only do this if they themselves believed that God was not benevolent.

They also preached the goodness of God, despite his apparent evil. This is
because they, like the writers of the Old Testament, do not care if god is
'good' or 'evil', they merely wish to do its will, in order to get rewards
in heaven.
The Book of Revelations is the climax and final book of the New Testament,
where it is said that God will once again revert to his Old Testament ways...
the suffering and pain described in the apocalypse is something that a
good god could never let happen. To even believe that God do this is to
believe in a monstrous demon of a God.
2.1. No Free Will
The New Testament preaches at great length that we have no free
will, and that God's punishment is arbitrary
The Bible teaches that there is no free will. Examining Exodus,Ecclesiastes
7, Ephesians 1, Ephesians 2, Matthew 5:45, Acts 13, Romans 8, Roman
9, 2 Timothy, 2 Thessalonians, Titus 3:4-5and Revelations, we see that
God's plan overrides our free will; those that do good do the specific good
that God predestined them to do, and all others are ruled by Satan because
God sends "powerful delusions" to them. The Christian Bible frequently
states that God creates our future and decides our fates, no matter what
our own will is. It constantly denies that we have free will. Some of the
foremost Christians in history have taught that there is no free will,
including St. Augustine (one of the four great founders of Western
Christianity6), Martin Luther (founder of Protestantism) and John Calvin.
The doctrine of predestination is like the doctrine of original sin. They affirm
that God is not just, not moral, and is actively evil and arbitrary. Not only do
god's plans override free will, but, God also punishes those who it has
predetermined to be punished. There is no grand moral plan to god's will. It
makes no sense to say that this is the behaviour of a good god. The New
Testament makes more sense if its schemes are the plan of an evil god,
rather than a good one.
2.2. God Destroys Families

Contradictions: The Bible also contains many verses


that promote family values.
God itself sets some very poor examples when it comes to parenting.

Genesis 6:7 says "And the Lord said, I will destroy man whom I have
created from the face of the earth; both man and beast, and the
creeping thing, and the fowls of the air; for it repenteth me that I have
made them". What does this teach us? If our children do not turn out how
we wished, then, we can follow the example of theperfectly just Christian
God, and destroy them. And anything around them, including animals and
other people. We can deliver group punishments in accordance with the
worst offenders amongst them, and, the less bad amongst them are simply
unlucky to have been around at the wrong time. It seems that when it
comes to good parenting, it is not to the Christian God that we should
look!

"Noah, the Ark and the Flood, from the Bible Book of Genesis : 7.2. The
Monstrous Actions of an Immoral God" by Vexen Crabtree (2013)

Genesis furnishes us with some additional horror in the stories of Lot and
his family who lived in Sodom, and, ofAbraham and his precious first son
Isaac. In Genesis chapters 18 and 19, Lot is rescued from destruction by
God's actions for his noble and commendable actions. What did he do? He
tried to protect 3 male guests who had arrived at his house, from a mob
outside who wanted to rape them. His method of protection was to send out
his two virgin daughters and tell the crowd they could do as they pleased
with them. In case we doubt God's judgement of Lot, Lot then goes and
has children by both of his daughters. The story of Abraham and Isaac in
Genesis chapter 22 has Abraham obey the voices in his head which tell
him to murder his only son Isaac on an altar as a sacrifice to God. Abraham
complies, and is massively rewarded by God. Any moral person would
have sternly told Abraham that hefailed God's test. These two stories tell us
that obediance and male honour are valued far ahead of the protection of
the family; rape of young daughters and child murder are both preferable to
disobeying voices in your head, and risking your male guests from being
mobbed.
Deuteronomy 13:6-9 says that if your relatives or friends try to get you to
worship other gods, firstly you must not give in to them, and secondly, you

must kill them. That's right - kill your relatives if they try to draw you away
from your religion, "without pity". Genesis 17:10,12,14 teaches that
newborns are to be circumcized, and, those who are not are to be cast
away from their friends and family. There seems to be no way to view such
teachings in a moral way. The author(s) of the Bible severely lacked moral
compassion and a sense of justice. Even when aiming at noble goals, such
as respect for family life, the moral teachings derived from this instinct go
instantly awry in the Bible - note that the punishment for cursing one's
father or mother, and for adultery, is death (Exodus 21:17).
Throughout the Old Testament, male children are promised by God as the
ultimate reward, women are often unable to bear children (but this fate
never happens to men). Throughout the Old and New, the unequal and
barbaric position of women in the family compared to men is infamously
misogynistic - there are too many related verses to repeat here.
The teachings of Jesus do not bring much in the way of hope for family life:

Think not that I am come to send peace on earth: I came not to send
peace, but a sword. For I am come to set a man at variance against his
father, and the daughter against her mother, and the daughter in law
against her mother in law. And a man's foes shall be they of his own
household.

Matthew 10:34-37

Suppose ye that I am come to give peace on earth? I tell you, Nay; but
rather division: For from henceforth there shall be five in one house divided,
three against two, and two against three. The father shall be divided
against the son, and the son against the father; the mother against the
daughter, and the daughter against the mother; the mother in law against

her daughter in law, and the daughter in law against her mother in law.
Luke 12:51-53

Milder verses continue the theme; Jesus in Mark 3:31-35 leaves his
"brethren and his mother" outside after they call for him; giving no reason at
all for shunning them, he instead says that his followers were his brethren
and mother.Luke 2:41-49 tells a story of a 12-year-old Jesus; he wonders
off for three days and his parents search for him, before finding him in a
temple. They exclaim to him that they've been looking for him sorrowfully,

and his cold response is covered by the last two verses of that story: "How
is it that ye sought me? wist ye not that I must be about my Father's
business? And they understood not the saying which he spake unto them".
In both places a little courtesy would have cost nothing. The lack of respect
continues in another story in Luke:

"When one of his women listeners was so entranced by his teaching that
she cried out 'Happy the womb that bore you and the breasts that you
sucked!' Jesus shrugged off this praise of his mother. She was irrelevant:
'Still happier those who hear the word of God and keep it.' (Luke 11:2728)."

"The Gospel According to Woman: Christianity's Creation of the


Sex War in the West" by Karen Armstrong (1986)7

It is strange to hear Christians promote Christian family values as if they


were a good thing, when the feelings of relatives are of such little concern
to Jesus.
2.3. Jesus and the Crucifixion - A Trick8
Lance Sievert wrote:

If I was The Devil I would manifest myself inside of a virgin, say that I am
the Son of God and convince everyone that they can now be forgiven for
every sin just by asking, thus opening the floodgates for an unprecedented
and unending torrent of sin.
I would start with the uneducated and the poor. I would impress them with
some magic tricks, teach them to pretend to eat my flesh, drink my blood
and always, ALWAYS, use MY name when speaking to God.
I would most assuredly use my immortality to fool them into thinking I came
back from the dead as proof of my divinity.
What better way to channel more souls away from God and straight into
Hell?

Lance Sievert

For a fuller analysis of the illogical nature of the crucifixion, see:


"The Crucifixion Facade" by Vexen Crabtree (2002)

The evidence and logic is even more compelling than the anecdote above.
The whole scheme of the life of Jesus does not add up, and it is very hard
to reconcile it with the plans of an all-knowing, good God. The crucifixion
makes no sense. The crucifixion did not empower God as God is
omnipotent. It did not aid its understanding of Humanity, as God is
omniscient. God did not need to become Human to experience Human
suffering: God already knew. God is able to judge us perfectly, becauseGod
is perfect, just and all-knowing. The crucifixion of Jesus did not improve
God's judgement of us, as God's judgement was perfect both before and
after the crucifixion. The crucifixion did not aid us, as "knowing Jesus" was
not the point of the crucifixion unless God has arbitrarily condemned
everyone to hell who happened to live before the founding of Christianity.
That those who lived before the time of Jesus' crucifixion are also judged
fairly by (perfect) God means that there was no actual point to it all except
as a needless public relations exercise. The entire escapade seems to be
an irrational story copied from pre-Christian myths.
But it does make sense if the God of the Bible is evil. Then the magic tricks
make sense, as Lance Sievert has said, as the successful attempts of an
evil god to impress us simple mortals.

3. Genocides and Divine Incitements to Murder


3.1. Violence and Murder Endorsed in the Christian Bible
The Old Testament was rife with occasions when God not only sanctioned
the murder, pillage and rape of the enemies of his chosen people, but,
often God itself joined in, directlysmiting people itself. Jeremiah
48:10 declares: "A curse on him who is lax in doing the LORD's work! A
curse on him who keeps his sword from bloodshed!". It reminds me
ofExodus 15:3: "The LORD is a man of war: the LORD is his name".
It is clear that violence has a divine Biblical endorsement. But for what
ends? Luke 14:23says "Compel people to come in!" for the purpose of
"filling" the Church. Jesus himself declared "think not that I am come to
send peace on earth: I came not to send peace, but a sword" (Matthew
10:34). And henceforth, Christian history contains many unfortunate

chapters where Christian groups anathematized one another as heretics,


and proceeded to burn, torture and murder those who disagreed. Victims
have been anyone who disagreed even on confusing technical points of
Christian doctrine, members of other religions such as Muslimsand Jews,
and it seems, many other innocent victims ranging from outcasts who were
accused of witchcraft ("Thou shalt not suffer a witch to live" - Exodus
22:18), homosexuals and finally, a small number who have genuinely
plotted against the Church.

Such attitudes are not merely disasters found in history.


Even in the twentieth century, Pope Leo XII argued for violence and
murder, based on religion:

The death sentence is a necessary and efficacious means for the Church
to attain its end when rebels act against it and disturbers of the
ecclesiastical unity, especially obstinate heretics and heresiarchs, cannot
be restrained by any other penalty. [...] If there be no other remedy for
saving its people it can and must put these wicked men to death.

Pope Leo XII9

3.2. Some Genocides Committed Directly by God


Some of the genocides committed by God in the Bible are of the young, the
innocent, and some are even the results of accidents. (Click the links below
for full descriptions):
1. 2 Kings 2:23-24 : 42 children are killed for calling a prophet "baldy",
by two she-bears.
2. 1 Samuel 6:19 : God kills 50 070 (or 70) of the men of Beth Shemesh
for looking in (or "at") the Ark of the Covenant.

3. 1 Kings 20:30 : God makes a wall fall on and kill 27 000 of an army
retreating from some Israelites.
4. Numbers 16:16-49 : Death to all those who complain (14 950 of them
altogether).
5. 2 Samuel 6:6-11 : God kills someone for accidentally touching the Ark
of the Covenant.
6. The Flood, which saw God wipe out all of humankind, is neither a
good response to being displeased, nor is it even a good moral story
symbolically. The authors of this story believed in an immoral and
fearsome god which should be wholly rejected. See: "Noah, the Ark
and the Flood, from the Bible Book of Genesis" by Vexen
Crabtree (2013).
3.3. Genocides Committed or Ordered By God
This collection of Biblical genocides was started by a different author
whose credentials I misplaced in the 1990s; it is not a complete
documentation of divine slaughter in the Bible, but there are numerous
books which do have fuller lists. Here is a snapshot:
Exodus 32:27-28 "[Moses' orders to his army] he said to them, "The Lord
God of Israel commands every one of you to put on his sword and go
through the camp from this gate to the other and kill his brothers, his
friends and his neighbours. The Levites obeyed and killed about 3000 Men
that
day."
Exodus 32:29 "Moses said to the Levites, "Today you have consecrated
yourselves as priests in the service of the Lord by killing your sons and
brothers,
so
the
Lord
has
given
you
his
blessing."
Numbers 31:17 (Moses) "Now therefore kill every male among the little
ones, and kill every woman that hath known man by lying with him (in other
words:
women
that
might
be
pregnant)."
Deuteronomy 7:1 "When Yahweh your god has settled you in the land
you're about to occupy, and driven out many infidels before you...you're to
cut them down and exterminate them. You're to make no compromise with
them
or
show
them
any
mercy."
Joshua 6:21-24 "With their swords they killed everyone in the city, men,

women, young and old. They also killed the cattle, sheep and donkeys. ...
And they burnt the city with fire, and all that was therein: only the silver, and
the gold, and the vessels of brass and of iron, they put into the treasury of
the
house
of
the
Lord."
Judges 20: Description a battle and city-burning, with no morality or sense
of
loss
at
all.
Judges 20:42-48 "... and them which came out of the cities they destroyed
in the midst of them. ... And there fell of Benjamin eighteen thousand of the
best Benjamine soldiers; ... and they gleaned of them in the highways five
thousand men; ... and slew two thousand men of them. So that all which fell
that day of Benjamin were twenty and five thousand men that drew the
sword; ... And the men of Israel turned again upon the children of Benjamin,
and smote them with the edge of the sword, as well the men of every city,
as the beast, and all that came to hand: also they set on fire all the cities
that
they
came
to."
1 Kings 20:30 "But the rest fled to Aphek, into the city; and there a wall fell
upon twenty and seven thousand of the men that were left."
1 Samuel 15:1-8 "Now listen to what the Lord Almighty says. He is going to
punish the people of Amalek because their ancestors opposed the
Israelites... 3-8 : With 210000 soldiers they killed all the men, women,
children,
babies,
cattle,
camels
and
donkeys."
Esther 9:12-16: The Jews slaughter enemies in an internal strife in the
Persian
empire,
at
least
75800
enemies
are
killed.
Hosea 13:16 "Samaria shall become desolate; for she hath rebelled
against her God: they shall fall by the sword: their infants shall be dashed
in pieces, and their women with child shall be ripped up."
Revelations is
full
of
genocides.
Here
are
some.
Revelation 6:8 (the 4th seal) "I looked, and there before me was a pale
horse! Its rider was named Death, and Hades was following close behind
him. They were given power over a fourth of the earth to kill by sword,
famine and plague, and by the wild beasts of the earth.
Revelation 9:15 (the 6th seal) "And the four angels who had been kept
ready for this very hour and day and month and year were released to kill a
third
of
mankind."
Revelation 4th Seal and 6th Seal. Here's a quick calculation assuming an
initial
population
of
6
000
000
000:

1/4 are killed when the 4th seal is opened: 1/4 of 6.0 billion is 1.5 billion,
leaving
4.5
billion
survivors.
1/3 are killed then the 6th seal is opened: 1/3 of 4.5 billion is 1.5 billion,
leaving
3.0
billion
survivors.
Exactly half of Humankind are killed, and this calculation uses only two of
the seven seals!
It is an incredibly difficult task to explain to Christians who decide to kill in
god's name that they are in fact going against the Bible, because this is
simply not the case.

4. Sowing Seeds of Confusion - Not the Antics of a


Good God
10

The Book of Numbers in the Hebrew Scriptures / Old Testament contains


two examples of some very limitedcommunication methods used by God.
Both would have serious deleterious consequences if we didn't ignore
these verses.

Numbers 12:6 has God say "Hear now my words: If there be a


prophet among you, I, the Lord, will make myself known unto him in
a vision, and will speak unto him in a dream". But this is a clear-cut
path to chaos and anarchy, and would immediately undermine all
religion. If we trusted Numbers 12:6, then, it would mean
that Christianity isn't true, because too many people have had visions
of Krishna and Buddha. Likewise,Hinduism cannot be true because
too many people have had visions of a monotheistic God. Instead, it
must be the case that most visions are actually wrong - they are
delusions and illusions. Fortunately for us, we havelearnt much about
human neurology and we know many of the physiological and
neurological causes of visions(see: Experiences of God are Illusions,
Derived from Malfunctioning Psychological Processes). We know
simply to disregard Numbers 12:6.
Numbers 22:21-34 tells a rather odd story where a man, Balaam, is
travelling one way, when God wants him to go another. God's method
of communication here - out of all the means available to the miracleworker Creator of the Universe, is to have the donkey do things. At

first the donkey merely resists because God sends an invisible angel
to stand in their way, that only the donkey can see. The man, of
course, has no idea why the donkey is being stubborn and strikes the
donkey a few times. I could not think of a poorer method of
communication than an unspeaking invisible angel. It is so daft that
the Qur'an makes fun of it in Sura 31:19 - "indeed, the most
disagreeable of sounds is the voice of donkeys". When the donkey
speaks, things get a little clearer - eventually. The moral of the story
is somewhat shaky: if an animal resists doing what you want,
then do not make it obey you because it might be God trying to
communicate with you.
The parables of Jesus are famous for two reasons. Firstly, because
they are often catchy and often repeated by many in the influential
Christian world. And secondly, because they are so confusing that
consensus on their meanings is very rare, and, often in the New
Testament itself it describes Jesus' very own disciples as not
understanding them.

It seems that not only does the Bible describe a God who is a very poor
communicator, but that the Bible itself is communicated very poorly.
It is theologically problematic that Jesus decided not to write anything
down. For thousands of years,mistranslations of important Biblical verses
have misinformed the masses on even important points, such as whether
Jesus' mother was a virgin or not. The Bible has caused endless confusion
with the irregularities, inconsistencies and ambiguities of its text. On top of
that are the mistranslations, cultural misunderstandings and outright
subjectivist attempts at exegesis by those who are genuinely and
passionately trying to understand the core text of their religion. It seems
that not only does the Bible describe a God who is a very poor
communicator, but that the Bible itself is communicated very poorly.
It cannot be the case, therefore, that people need the Bible nor that people
have to know the right things, or have the right beliefs, in order to fulfil
God's plan. (In-)famous playwright Tim Rice once had this idea, too, and
put it to verse...:


You'd have managed Peter better if you'd had it planned
Now why'd you choose such a backward time and such a strange land?
If you'd come today you could have reached a whole nation
Israel in 4 BC had no mass communication!

Jesus Christ Superstar (1971)


Written by Tim Rice

We have seen that God's communication methods in the Bible are


portrayed in a highly unclear, indirect and obscure way (at best).
Sometimes (such as with Balaam) God seems to be an incompetent
communicator. Is there an underlying reason? The answer depends on
your notion of God's personality. You see, its poor communication is only a
problem if you happen to think that God wants us to know the truth and to
believe the right things. What if God wants us to have different beliefs and
religions at different times and in different places? Then, God's ambiguous
whisperings make more sense.

Criticism of the Christian BibleGod Must Be Evil (If

If we knew the truth, our existential crises, mental angst and warring world
religions would have no grounds to vex. If god revealed itself to everyone,
in no unclear terms, there could be no disagreement. But god does not do
this. God remains hidden - and if god is the source of any of our world
religions, it seems that it is intentionally giving conflicting messages. Saying
one set of things to one group of people; appearing as a multitude of gods
to others, and appearing not at all to many. These appear to be the tactics
not of a god that wants us to understand and unite, but of one that actively
encourages division, war, conflict, confusion and stress. [...]
Religions that fight each other tend to make their adherents believe in them
even more strongly. Group solidarity comes into effect: when you have
enemies, you keep a closer grip on your friends and also reinforce your
own group identity. So, an evil God would appear to mankind in a variety of
guises and preach a number of powerful, but conflicting, religions. It would
therefore create maximum confusion, and maximum suffering, through war
and intolerance. It would preach to each religion that its followers were right

and other followers were wrong! These groups would all wholeheartedly
believe that as God (or, the gods) has revealed the truth to them, other
religions must be wrong and ungodly. That way, most of the weak, inferior,
pathetic people that the evil god creates would fall foul of one religion or
another, and be duped! Once duped, they'd cling to the lies even more the
stronger because of the existence of competing religions. An evil God,
indeed, would do this, and this is exactly the state the world is in.
Coincidence? If there is a God, it is surely evil!

"God Must Be Evil (If It Exists)" by Vexen Crabtree (2003)

If you think it is far-fetched to say that the Christian god intentionally causes
confusion and division, and is therefore evil, then perhaps one more story
of the Bible will help, from Genesis chapter 11:
1

Now the whole world had one language and a common speech. 2As
people moved eastward* they found a plain in Shinar [Babylonia] and
settled there. [...]
4

Then they said, "Come, let us build ourselves a city, with a tower that
reaches to the heavens, so that we may make a name for ourselves;
otherwise we will be scattered over the face of the whole earth."
5

But the Lord came down to see the city and the tower the people were
building. 6The Lord said, "If as one people speaking the same language
they have begun to do this, then nothing they plan to do will be impossible
for them. 7Come, let us go down and confuse their language so they
will not understand each other."
8

So the Lord scattered them from there over all the earth, and they stopped
building the city. 9That is why it was called Babel - because there the Lord
confused the language of the whole world. From there the Lord scattered
them over the face of the whole earth.
Genesis 11:1-9

Some justifications that mankind was attempting to steal God's power or


aiming to be like God (i.e. 'reaching the heavens') don't make sense,
as God is all-knowing and would have known that this was impossible to do
by building a tower, no matter how high.
If you accept this story as fable and myth, then, it is clear to see that it is
the attempt of a primitive people to explain why Humans have different
languages. As such, the story isn't really a religious one and ought to be

ignored. If you accept that Bible is the Word of God, however, it shows
the Christian Biblical God to be the author of confusion and division, just as
we already suspected.

5. The Problem of Evil


List pages on the Problem of Evil
If God is all-powerful and all-good, it would have created a universe in the
same way it created heaven: with free will for all, no suffering and no evil.
But evil and suffering exist. Therefore God does not exist, is not allpowerful or is not benevolent (good). Atheodicy is an attempt to explain
why a good god would have created evil and suffering. The most popular
defence is that it is so Humans could have free will. However the entire
universe and the natural world is filled with suffering, violence and
destruction so any Humanity-centric explanation does not seem to work.
Arguments that God Must be Evil, by Vexen Crabtree (2003)

The existence of such large quantities of suffering, despair, pain, of natural


disasters such as earthquakes, of the death of the unborn and the
immense suffering of lovers & kind-hearted people means that god is evil
and intentionally creates life in order to create suffering. That all life exists
in a food chain means that life is completely tied to death, and such a
barbaric biological cycle could only have been made by an evil god. Also,
that such a god appears not to exist, or actively hides itself, is a source of
confusion, conflict, war and stress and is again more likely the antics of an
evil god. Given the state of the natural world, it is impossible that a good
god exists. It is more likely that an evil god exists, but, it is sensible to
assume that there is no god of either type. Even if there is not a god of
either type, as the dominance of death and violence in the natural world, a
result of nature being abused by life and not being designed for life, I think
the evil symbol of Satan is the best representative of the state of reality and
the universe, whether or not an actual evil god exists.
If God did exist and was evil, it would undoubtedly lie and tell everyone it
was a good god and that it loved them. It would create maximum confusion
by preaching multiple conflicting religions. It would create heaven and
make it hard to get to in order to tease and torture people into making their

own lives hell. As all of those things happen, if there is a God, it is doing the
things an evil God would do!
Once I recognized and accepted this state of affairs and adequately called
myself a Satanist, I could concentrate my life on happiness, love, stability
and peace. Because I know and understand that death always wins, that
life is temporary, I waste no time on short-term whims that reduce my
quality of life, or of those around me, and I waste no time with spiritual pipe
dreams. Recognizing Satan as the personified meta-figure of reality is selfaffirming, life-affirming, positive, honest and clarifying.

1. God drowns the whole earth.

In Genesis 7:21-23, God drowns the entire population of the earth: men,
women, children, fetuses, and perhaps unicorns. Only a single family
survives. In Matthew 24:37-42, gentle Jesus approves of this genocide
and plans to repeat it when he returns.
2. God kills half a million people.
In 2 Chronicles 13:15-18, God helps the men of Judah kill 500,000 of
their fellow Israelites.
3. God slaughters all Egyptian firstborn.
In Exodus 12:29, God the baby-killer slaughters all Egyptian firstborn
children and cattle because their king was stubborn.
4. God kills 14,000 people for complaining that God keeps killing
them.
In Numbers 16:41-49, the Israelites complain that God is killing too many
of them. So, God sends a plague that kills 14,000 more of them.
5. Genocide after genocide after genocide.
In Joshua 6:20-21, God helps the Israelites destroy Jericho, killing men
and women, young and old, cattle, sheep and donkeys. In Deuteronomy
2:32-35, God has the Israelites kill everyone in Heshbon, including
children. In Deuteronomy 3:3-7, God has the Israelites do the same to
the people of Bashan. In Numbers 31:7-18, the Israelites kill all the
Midianites except for the virgins, whom they take as spoils of war. In 1
Samuel 15:1-9, God tells the Israelites to kill all the Amalekites men,
women, children, infants, and their cattle for something the Amalekites
ancestors had done 400 years earlier.
6. God kills 50,000 people for curiosity.
In 1 Samuel 6:19, God kills 50,000 men for peeking into the ark of the
covenant. (Newer cosmetic translations count only 70 deaths, but their
text notes admit that the best and earliest manuscripts put the number at
50,070.)
7. 3,000 Israelites killed for inventing a god.
In Exodus 32, Moses has climbed Mount Sinai to get the Ten
Commandments. The Israelites are bored, so they invent a golden calf

god. Moses comes back and God commands him: Each man strap a
sword to his side. Go back and forth through the camp from one end to
the other, each killing his brother and friend and neighbor. About 3,000
people died.
8. The Amorites destroyed by sword and by Gods rocks.
In Joshua 10:10-11, God helps the Israelites slaughter the Amorites by
sword, then finishes them off with rocks from the sky.
9. God burns two cities to death.
In Genesis 19:24, God kills everyone in Sodom and Gomorrah with fire
from the sky. Then God kills Lots wife for looking back at her burning
home.
10. God has 42 children mauled by bears.
In 2 Kings 2:23-24, some kids tease the prophet Elisha, and God sends
bears to dismember them. (Newer cosmetic translations say the bears
maul the children, but the original Hebrew, baqa, means to tear
apart.)
11. A tribe slaughtered and their virgins raped for not showing up at
roll call.
In Judges 21:1-23, a tribe of Israelites misses roll call, so the other
Israelites kill them all except for the virgins, which they take for
themselves. Still not happy, they hide in vineyards and pounce on
dancing women from Shiloh to take them for themselves.
12. 3,000 crushed to death.
In Judges 16:27-30, God gives Samson strength to bring down a
building to crush 3,000 members of a rival tribe.
13. A concubine raped and dismembered.
In Judges 19:22-29, a mob demands to rape a godly masters guest.
The master offers his daughter and a concubine to them instead. They
take the concubine and gang-rape her all night. The master finds her on
his doorstep in the morning, cuts her into 12 pieces, and ships the
pieces around the country.
14. Child sacrifice.
In Judges 11:30-39, Jephthah burns his daughter alive as a sacrificial
offering for Gods favor in killing the Ammonites.
15. God helps Samson kill 30 men because he lost a bet.
In Judges 14:11-19, Samson loses a bet for 30 sets of clothes. The spirit
of God comes upon him and he kills 30 men to steal their clothes and
pay off the debt.
16. God demands you kill your wife and children for worshiping
other gods.
In Deuteronomy 13:6-10, God commands that you must kill your wife,
children, brother, and friend if they worship other gods.

17. God incinerates 51 men to make a point.


In 2 Kings 1:9-10, Elijah gets God to burn 51 men with fire from heaven
to prove he is God.
18. God kills a man for not impregnating his brothers widow.
In Genesis 38:9-10, God kills a man for refusing to impregnate his
brothers widow.
19. God threatens forced cannibalism.
In Leviticus 26:27-29 and Jeremiah 19:9, God threatens to punish the
Israelites by making them eat their own children.
20. The coming slaughter.
According to Revelation 9:7-19, Gods got more evil coming. God will
make horse-like locusts with human heads and scorpion tails, who
torture people for 5 months. Then some angels will kill a third of the
earths population. If he came today, that would be 2 billion people.
Now, Christians have spent thousands of years coming up
with excuses for a loving god that would allow or create su ch evil. In fact, theyve
come up with 12 basic responses, which are the subject of The Tale of the Twelve Officers.

authority except from God, and those that exist have been instituted by God.
Therefore he who resists the authorities resists what God has appointed, and those
who resist will incur judgment."

82. "Let all who are under the yoke slavery regard their masters as worthy of all
honor, so that the name of God and the teaching may not be defamed. Those who
have believing masters must not be disrespectful on the ground that they are
brethren; rather they must serve all the better since those that benefit by their
service are believers and beloved."

Extract from "The Bad News Bible: The New Testament" by David Vaos
~*~ Matthew ~*~
Admittedly, no one I knew ever mentioned a virgin birth -- not even Paul, and he probably
wished that everbody could have had one.
Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his
name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, god is with us. Calling him Jesus must have
been a mistake.
Our father which are in heaven, hallowed be thy name. The kingdom come. They will be
done in Earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread... First we appeal for
judgement day to arive ('thy kingdom come') and then we ask for something to eat while we
wait.

But when they persecute you in this city, flee uye into another: for verily I say unto you,
Ye shall not jhave gone over the cities of Israel, ttill the son of man be come. The messiah
would usher in the devine kingdom, in other words before they had even finished their
travels. The world is such a disappointment: It simply refuses to end on schedule.
Think not that I am come to bring peace on Earth; I came not to send peace but to send
the sword. For I am come to set a man at variance against his father, and the daughter
against her mother, and the daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law. A man's foes
shall be they of his own household.
...so shall the son of man be three days and three nights in the heart of the Earth. I don't
want to get ahead of myself, but the period he spent in the tomb (Friday evening to Sunday
morning) doesn't add up to that.
But he answered and said unto him that told him, Who is my mother? and who are my
brothern? And he stretched forth his hand toward his disciples and said, Behold my
mother and my brethern! For my part, I wasn't offended, but my mother was hurt and
anxious. Fringe religious activities have a way of scaring parents.
The kingdom of heaven is like to a grain of mustard seed, which a man took, and sowed
in his field: which indeed is the least of all seeds: but when it is grown, it is the greatest
among herbs, and becometh a tree, so that the birds of the air come and lodge in the
branches thereof. You'll have to excuse his botanical blind spots; I know that the mustard
plant isn't a tree, let alone a large one, but we grew up in a town.
Jesus asked if he had made himself clear, and they said Yea, lord, you bet.
I am not sent but unto the lost sheep of the house of Israel. When she still didn't give up,
he tried racial abuse (the old pearls- before-swine argument) It is not ment to take the
children's bread, and to cast it to dogs. And she said, truth, lord: yet the dogs eat of the
crumbs which fall from their master's table.
Verily I say unto you, there be some standing here, which shall not taste of death, till
they see the son of man coming in his kingdom.
Let no fruit grow on thee henceforth for ever. And presently the fig tree withered
away. The deciples were much impressed by his fast- acting herbicidal powers.
Even if my brother was inaugurating a new covenant (or testament) between god and the
world, these were incredible things to say. He was a Jewish preacher, after all. Admittedly he
wasn't rigorous about dietary restrictions, but the whole foundation of the law in this area is
that you don't consume the life blood of any creature. The idea of drinking it would have been
repellent to his deciples, and that's without even consideriung symbolic cannibalism.
Wanting to whitewash the Romans, Matthew had Jews take the blame. It was a nasty trick -one that did more harm than he could ever have imagined.
And the graves were opened and many bodies of the saints which slept arose, and came
out of the graves after his resurrection, and went into the holy city, and appeared unto

many. They must have kept it quiet, because no one else mentions the living dead walking
the streets.
~*~ Mark ~*~
Something else they added was the story of a virgin giving birth in Bethlehem; that wasn't
one that Mark had come across, it seems.
Is not this the carpenter, the son of Mary, the brother of James, and Joses, and of Juda,
and Simon? and are not his sisters here with us? And they were offended at him. They
were rather offensive themselves; calling him the son of Mary (rather than of his father)
carries a clear suggestion of illegitimacy.
According to Mark they were to take nothing except a cloak, footwear, and a staff (Matthew
improved the story by excluding even sandals and staves.)
There are some of them that stand here, which shall not taste of death, till they have
seen the kingdom of god come with power. Either he was wrong, or some very old people
are still waiting.
Jesus said unto him, why callest thou me good? there is none good but one, that is, god.
Mark often told his stories with only half Matthew's enthusiasm. Remember the two blind
mmen who had their sight restored outside Jericho? Mark doesn't; he only mentions one. Or
how about the donkeys borrowed for the entrance into Jerusalem? I gather from Mark they
made do with just one. According to him, in fact, they arrived too late to do anything at the
temple; the ejection of the money-changers had to wait a day.
Before the cock crow twice, thou shall deny me thrice. Matthew removed the 'twice,'
which I personally this is a shame.
The next day was the sabbath, but the following morning Mary Magdalene went with two
other women (Matthew, I know, said it was only one) to put sweet-smelling oil on the body.
~*~ Luke ~*~
He rather undermines his credibility, unfortunately, by specifying that the census took place
during the rule of a particular governer -- one who didn't take charge until a decade after
Jesus appeared.
Unfortunately he didn't get together with Matthew on this, and so they ended up with
irreconcilable lists. Not even the name of Joseph's father is the same. Luke traces the line all
the way back through Seth which was the son of Adam, which was the son of god. From
son of god to son of god in 75 generations.
Lord, I will follow thee; but let me first go bid them farewell, which are at home at my
house. And Jesus said unto him, No man, having put his hand to the plough, and looking
back, is fit for the kingdom of god. Anyway goodbuys are so upsetting.

Fear him, which after he hath killed hath power to cast into hell; yea, I say unto you,
fear him.
He was a pain to have around the house, but I was secretly delighted by his distate for family
values.
If any man come to me, and hate not his father, and mother, and wife, and children, and
brothern, and sisters, yea, and his own life also, he can not be my disciple.
Not only the number of angels, but of women too, increased from earlier accounts. It was
Mary Magdalene, and Joanna, and Mary the mother of James, and other women that were
with them, which told these things unto the apostles. And their words seemed to them as idle
tales, and they believed them not.
~*~ John ~*~
Can Jesus be the only son, if all believers might become god's children? I suppose they'll just
be adopted. It was also a surprise to hear that, No man hath seen god at any time. Moses, to
name but one, had seemed so certain.
Everybody else reports this incident (casting out the money-changers) as happening [toward]
the end, not the beginning, of his career, but for all I know it was a regular feature of his visits
to Jerusalrem.
I should mention that whoever wrote this particular version of my brother's life was even
more concerned than the others to show traditional Jews in a bad light. I have no objection to
sectarian controversy, but exaggeration and abuse is dangerous. To provide a sample: And
therefore did the Jews persecute Jesus, and sought to slay him... the Jews sought the
more to kill him, because he not only had broken the sabbath, but had said that god was
his father, making himself equal with god.
If I bear witness iof myself, my witness is not true.
Many of the people therefore, when they heard this saying said, of a truth this is the
prophet. Others said, this is the Christ. But some said, shall Christ come out of Galilee?
Hath not the scripture said, that Christ cometh of the seed of David, and out of the town
of Bethlehem, where David was? They were quite right, of course, and in due time
appropriate adjustments were made to the official biography.
The men wandered off, leaving Mary weeping at the tomb. When she looked in, however, she
saw two angels sitting where the body had been laid.
Contrary to Jesus's promise, the kingdom of god hadn't arived in the lifetime of his
companions. To sidestep the embarrassment, my friends suggested that there had been a
misunderstanding; pof his beloved deciple, Jesus said unto him, He shall not die; but if I
will that he tarry til I come, what is that to thee? Hope that clears things up.
~*~ The Acts of the Apostles ~*~

That's thirty-nine days longer than he previously told us; if he had written a trhird volume,
Jesus might never have made it back to heaven at all.
Now this man purchased a field with the reward of iniquity; and falling headlong, he
burst asunder in the midst, and all his bowels gushed out. And it was known unto all the
dwellers at Jeursalem -- except Matthew, I suppose.
All that believed were together, and had all things in common; and sold their
possessions and goods, and parted them to all men, as every man had need. The
leadership would come to need quite a lot, but at this stage everyone was trying to be a good
communist.
The god of our gfathers raised up Jesus, whom ye slew and hanged on a tree.
And in these days came prophets from Jerusalemunto Antioch. One of them, Agabus,
predicted great famine throughout all the world: which came to pass in the days of
Claudius Caesar. At least if a moderate shortage in Judaea fufils the prophecy. The faithful
sent food relief to their mother coumntry.
Now as soon as it was day, there was no small stir among the soldiers, what was become
of Peter. And when Herod had sought for him, and found him not, he examined the
keepers, and commanded that they should be put to death. I enjoy miraculous escapes as
much as the next man, but I do fault god for not protecting the innocent from reprisals.
And certain men which came down from Judaea taughter the brethern, and said, except
ye be circumsized after the manner of Moses, ye cannot be saved. So began the great
penile fashion debate.
God had given Abraham instructions about the sort of penis he liked to see, and that was that.
Being intellectually curious, his audience invited him to address the council in a more formal
setting. (For all the Athenians and strangers which were there spent their time in
nothing else, but either to tell, or to hear some new thing.) Then Paul stood in tghe midst
of Mars' hill and said,
Ye men of Athens, I perceive that in all things ye are too superstitious. For as I passed
by, and beheld your devotions, I found an alter with this instcription, TO THE
UNKNOWN GOD. Whom therefore ye ignorantly worship, him I declare unto you. God
that made the world and all things therein, seeing that he is lord of heaven and Earth,
dwelleth not in temples made with hands; neither is worshipped with men's hands, as
though he needed any thing, seeing he giveth to all life, and breath, and all things; And
hath made of one blood all nations of men for to dwell on alkl the face of the Earth.
This god is not hard to find, For in him we live, and move, and have our being; as
certain also of your own poets have said, for we are also his offspring. For a long time it
didn't matter if you didn't look;this ignorance god winked at. Now, however, he orders
people everywhere to repent, because he has scheduled a day of judgement. He has alco
chosen a judge, reinforcing that choice by raising him from the dead.

And when they heard of the resurrection of the dead, some mocked: and others said, we
will hear thee again in this matter. So Paul departed from among them, never to return.
I find that a shame, myself. Debating free-thinkers in Athens was perhaps less heroic
than braving persecution elsewhere, and the number of converts might have been
disappointing, but doctrine can always benefit from rational inquiry.
Paul said, I am a man which am a Jew of Tarsus, a city in Cilicia, a citizen of no mean
city; and I beseech thee, suffer me to speak unto the people. In fact he was a Roman
citizen, which was even more impressive, but once again he chose not to advertise it.
Not only was he a Jew, Paul said in his own defense, but he had been brought up in this
city at the feet of Gamaliel, the great Rabbi. He had been zealous in his persecuting
heretics -- the partisans of Jesus -- until his revelation on the road to Damascus.
Incidentally, he admitted that his companions on that occsaion heard not the voice of
him that spake to me; had they been contradicting the original story that they did hear
a voice?
~*~ Romans ~*~
How can god blame people when all their actions are subject to his will? Not having
much of an answer, Paul could only abuse the questioners as imputent pups.
O man, who art thou that repliest against god? Shall the thing formed say to him that
formed it, Why hast thou mnade me thus? Hath not the potter power over the clay, the
same lump to make one vessel unto honous, and other unto dishonour?

Quite so: the potter can do what he likes with his pots. What he can't do is
blame them for being imperfect, or for being used as chamber-pots.
...mark them which cause divisions and offenses contrary to the doctrine
which ye have learned; and avoid them. For they that are such serve not our
lord Jesus Christ, but their own belly; and by good words and fair speeches
deceive the hearts of the simple.
~*~ I Corinthians ~*~
...it pleased god by the foolishmess of preaching to save them that believe. For
the Jews require a sign, and the Greeks seek after wisdom.
It is reported commonly that there is fornication among you, and such
fornication as is not so much as named among the Gentiles, that one should
have his father's wife.
The work on judgement day is being delicated right down the line; first god
was on the job, then Jesus, and now we have responsibility. Paul even
asked Know yhe not that we shall judge angels? No, and I imagine that it
might come as a surprise to our friends in white.

Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of god? Be not
deceived: neither fornicators , not idolators, nor adulteraters, nor effeminate,
nor abusers of themselves with mankind, not thieves, nor covetous, nor
drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of god. So
let's see: out of ten ways to end in in god's bad books, four originate below the
belt, three concern property, and not one involves violence. That might just
suit someone who's physically brave but sexually insecure.
It is good for a man not to touch a woman. Nevertheless, to avoid fornication,
let every man have his own wife, and let every woman have her own
husband. Not exactly a ringing endorsement of matrimony.
But if they cannot contain, let them marry: for it is better to marry than to
burn. Probably.
...he that giveth her in marriage doeth well; but he that giveth her not in
marriage doeth better. Paul never did get the hang of family values.
...to us there is but one god, the father, of whom are all things, and we in him;
and (and?) one lord Jesus Christ, by whom are all things, and we by
him. [How many gods again? Count them once more.]
I would have you know, that the head of every man is Christ; and the head of
the woman is the man; and the head of Christ is god.
For a man indeed ought niot to cover his head, forasmuch as he is the image
and glory of god: the the woman is the glory of the man. For the man is not of
the woman; but the woman of the man. Neither was the man created for the
woman; but the woman for the man.
Let your women be silent in the churches: for it is not permitte unto them to
speak; but they are commanded to be under obedience, as also saith the law.
And if they will learn any thing, let them ask their husbands at home: for it is
a shame for woman to speak in the church.
~*~ II Corinthians ~*~
After further pokes and prode, he closed with a blessing that helped to
produce the idea of the trinity, the three-in-one god: The grace of the lord
Jesus Christ, and the love of god, and the communion of the holy ghost, be
with you all. Amen.
~*~ Gelatians ~*~
Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us:
for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree.

~*~ Ephesiand ~*~


Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as unto the lord. For the
husband is the head of the wife, even as Christ is the head of the church: and
he is the savior of the body. Therefore as the church is subject unto Christ, so
let the wives be to their own husbands in every thing. Domestic slavery makes
life so much easier.
~*~ I Timothy ~*~
Let the woman learn in silence with all subjection. But I suffer not a woman to
teach, nor to usurp authority over the man, but to be in silence. For Adam was
first formed, then Eve. And Adam was not deceived, but the woman being
deceived was in the transgression. Notwithstanding she shall be saved in
childbearing, if they continue in faith and chariry and holiness with
sobriety. Delighted to hear it.
~*~ Titus ~*~
No doubt we'll still be arguing when my brother returns.
~*~ Hebrews ~*~
Sometimes the analysis hardlyh makes sense; if we're supposed to think about
Moses running away after killing the Egyptian overseer, for example, it
contradicts scripture to say that By faith he forsook Egypt, not fearing the
wrath of the king.
~*~ James ~*~
This letter is supposed to be from me. Although I'd go along with most of these
exhortations, I'm afraid I don't remember writing them. Unless my memory is
failing the epistle is a forgery (or as we say to be polite, a pseudonymous work)
but I'll take credit (and blame) for it anyway.
Don't you know that the friendship of the world is enmith with god?
Whosoever therefore will be a friend of the world is the enemy of god. I must
have been drunk when I said that -- or more likely hungover.
Ye have heard of the patience of Job (he complained non-stop, if truth be told.
I close by saying that if anyone returned a believer who had strayed back to
the fold (something the last letter declaired to be impossible, you might recall)
he shall save a soul from death, and shall hide a multitude of sins. It's
confusing, the way you can have eternal life one day, lose it the next, and then
get it back again. Some people must pop up and down like fleas in a kennel.

~*~ II Peter ~*~


I don't know who wrote this letter, but it wasn't Peter. For a start, he wouldn't
have called Jesus 'our god and savior,' as much as he loved him. [How many
gods were there again?]
There's a certain irony in hearing an imposter say that we have not followed
cunningly devised fables, when we made known unto you the power and
comong of our lord Jesus Christ, but were eyewitnesses of his majesty.
~*~ Revelation ~*~
And I will kill her children with death -- usually the best method -- and all the
churches shall know that ...I will give unto every one of you according to your
works. (He'll give it to your children, too.)
And I heard the number of them which were sealed: 144,000. The number
seemed comfortably large at the time, but I'm beginning to have second
thoughts. The end is constantly being put off, while the movememt, not to
mention the population, continues to grow; we're going to have a lot of irate
customers when they discover how much we've overbooked.
These are they which were not defiled with woman; for they are virgins. This
was the worse news yet. It was bad enough that merely a select few would be
joining Jesus, and now I discover that only male virgins are eligible.
John, I gathered, just wanted everything to be finished. When Jesus
repeated Surely I come quickly, he replied, Amen. Even so, come, lord Jesus. I
won't try to guess why there's been such a delay, but it looks like good news to
me.

1. Men With Wounded Penises or


No Testicles Are Not Allowed in
Church
"He that is wounded in the stones, or hath his privy member
cut off, shall not enter into the congregation of the
Lord."(Deuteronomy 23:1)
First of all, yes, the King James Bible actually calls them "stones." You are now
aware of the fact that the "stones" euphemism is a Biblical reference.
Also, God hates people with testicular cancer, apparently.

If it wasn't already bad enough that these poor dudes have wounded stones and
members, it turns out that if they choose to practice proper Christianity they can
never go to church again? That's balls.
So the context of this passage is actually that people should be without blemish
and should generally be "perfect" so that they can procreate well and contribute
to the Lord's congregation by being fruitful and multiplying, so it makes sense
that having a working pair of stones is necessary... it's just pretty brutal if you
have no control over losing your "stones."
How to Use:
Either way, if someone ever tries to debate that "we are all God's children" kindly
remind them that if you're in any way missing your goods, you're pretty much
screwed. If you have testicular cancer, according to The Bible, you really shouldn't
bother praying for yourself.
Also, new rule: according to this rule, if someone kicks you in the balls in
church, in addition to being in extreme pain, in order to be polite, you have to
walk all the way outside until the pain subsides (and rises to your stomach.)

Women Will Never Teach or Have
Authority Over Men
291

125

"I permit no woman to teach or have authority over men; she is


to keep silent." Timothy 2:11
This is the most often quoted version of this passage, but in The King James
Bible, it goes a little bit more like this...
"Let the woman learn in silence with all subjection." which has
been translated and taken as the primary passage that doesn't allow women to be
preachers. The whole section is really about women not being able to "malign the
word of God" if they're not allowed to speak.

Keep in mind the first "big bad" antagonist in The Bible is women, as a sex.
So, since some woman allegedly bit into a delicious looking fruit at some point
thousands of years ago, best to attribute one action to an entire sex (just to be
safe.)
While this is a little brutal, bringing up this passage to someone who looks like
these fine ladies to your left will most likely shut them up (or at the very least
garner a really interesting response.)
All women holding up hateful signs are officially moot in the eyes of God, much
like they are in the eyes of the rational, so hey, there's a good side to this rule.

Divorce and Remarrying Are Both
Considered Adultery
187

67

"Whosoever putteth away his wife, and marrieth another,


committeth adultery: and whosoever marrieth her that is put
away from her husband committeth adultery." (Luke 16:18)
Ooookay, so no church should ever marry people who have already been married
if this is the rule.
If anyone in a fundamentalist's family has ever been divorced or re-married, then
they are going to hell.
Most people don't observe this rule because it clearly says in The Bible that you
can pick and choose which rules you follow (it doesn't.)
How to Use:
According to this passage, all members of the congregation that have been
divorced and/or remarried would be sinners and should be kicked out of the
church. With a 50% divorce rate in America, it's safe to say that people are
selectively ignoring this rule, yet somehow still seeing themselves as "pious."

Just because you're not deeply religious does not mean you're not a
good person, and what people are really effectively doing in ignoring
certain rules of Christianity is not only proving that exact point, but
proving that they believe it.

No Bastards May Enter the Church
197

81

"A bitched shall not enter into the congregation of the Lord;
even to his tenth generation shall he not enter into the
congregation of the Lord." (Deuteronomy 23:2)
A bitched is someone who was born outside of wedlock, which means you were
born before your parents were married. Being born out of wedlock makes you
filthy, apparently; so filthy in fact that it takes ten genetic steps down the line to
wash how filthy it makes you.
So your family's 100% awesome to come to church in like a century or two if
you're a bitched, which I guess is fair.
Wait, but what if your dad abandoned you and your mom after she had given
birth to you... that means you're going to be held responsible and deprived of
God's love... which...
Wow, this means that Christian orphanages are hypocritical
institutions if they're taking these kids to church. Brutal.
How to Use:
After bringing up the point about orphanages, it's time to take a survey of the
church just to make sure there aren't evil, lurking, dirty bitcheds in there ruining
the holy juice for everyone.

Even A Look Counts As Adultery


58

"But I say unto you, That whosoever looketh on a woman to


lust after her hath committed adultery with her already in his
heart." (Matthew 5:28)
Even looking at the video preview below, most guys reading this list are now not
sin-free.
1.

It's pretty safe to say every adult (and God knows, every teenager), has
committed adultery by this standard.
Being attracted to the opposite sex is part of humanity. Law in Western society
only prosecutes bad actions -- not bad thoughts, but that's not the way it's
supposed to go.
How to Use:
Bring around some pictures from Men's Health for the women and some Maxim,
perhaps some Playboy, for the men. Get them to look at it and give you an
opinion. Most of the time, they will have lustful descriptions and will think
nothing of it when they're really violated a cut and dry part of what is supposed to
be their belief system. Feel free to shout things like "ADULTERER!" after Gerard
Butler and Jessica Alba have made everyone into adequate sinners.

Women Must Cover Their Hair
During Prayer
117

50

"But every woman that prayeth or prophesieth with her head


uncovered dishonoureth her head..." 1 Corinthians 11:5
Wait, so why the hell wasn't I allowed to wear hats in church?
Fundamentalist Christian women seem to have forgotten this basic rule of church
attire reminiscent of Islam. The Bible should have clarified what it means to

dishonoureth one's head. Most women walk around with their hair uncovered in
all styles in modern society and men aren't having too much trouble keeping it in
their pants.

How to Use
Mary always wore a veil... why shouldn't they?

If You Disobey God, You Will Eat
Your Babies
110

50

If in spite of this you still do not listen to me but continue to be


hostile toward me, 28 then in my anger I will be hostile toward
you, and I myself will punish you for your sins seven times
over. 29 You will eat the flesh of your sons and the flesh of your
daughters."(Leviticus 26:27-30)
If you break even a single one of these rules, you need to eat your children.
Doesn't matter how old they are, doesn't matter what you do, but if you disobey
God and his ways, he's going to wreak some serious havoc.
In this part of Leviticus, it's really God making a bunch of threats rules and
maybe he just got a little out of hand, but yes, he says that if you disobey him, he's
gonna make you eat your kids.
How to Use:
You might as well put on the Food Network, get some good recipes ready and
hand them to someone next time a Christian fundamentalist tries to pull their
piety card out. If they're not following this rule, then why follow rules that allow
hate towards people different than they are?
1.

Thou shalt not hate thy brother in thine heart: thou shalt
in any wise rebuke [reason with] thy neighbour, and not suffer
sin upon him. Thou shalt not avenge, nor bear any grudge
against the children of thy people, but thou shalt love thy
neighbour as thyself: I am the Lord." (Leviticus 19: 17-18)
This pretty much means that every single Westboro Baptist Church
protest is inherently Un-Christian.
The Westboro Baptist Church, based in Topeka, Kansas has clearly forgotten this
guideline, which is much more explicit than anti-homosexual Biblical references.
The church is famous for being a hate group that protests at homosexuals'
funerals and has nothing but contempt for any other religion besides its own. The
church is using technology to hate on homosexuals through their
website, godhatesf*gs.com and has a travel budget of over $200,000 to picket

and disrupt funerals all over the country.


They protest military funerals (protest in their context actually means "harass")
and make one of the worst days of these people's lives even worse. This is what
they do as a primary form of "activism."
The scariest part is that these people actually procreate. They have kids holding
up hateful signs and they teach their children the opposite of Christian values.
They have effectively made hate speech accepted and legal by slapping the word
"church" on their group, which is probably the smartest thing they've ever done.
But if The Lord says love they neighbor, then what book are they reading?
How to Use:
Simply bring up the fact that all hate speech is inherently Un-Christian.

Giving Birth to a Daughter Makes


You Unclean for 66 Days
"But if she bear a maid child, then she shall be unclean two
weeks, as in her separation: and she shall continue in the
blood of her purifying threescore and six days." (Leviticus
12:5)
People should hold signs that say "God Hates Women" because it really will be
the most accurate Christian sign you could ever make.
God made the one thing women were actually appreciated for, the ability to give
birth to life, a dirty act.
When women give birth to their children at the hospital now, they are
immediately handed their child because that's what you want to do when you pop
out a kid after carrying it for nine months in your belly -- not go through 66 days
of church-mandated shame.
How to Use:
Next time one of your devout relatives or someone who always thinks they're
right during religious debates has a daughter, politely bring up the fact that in the
eyes of God, the mother is a dirty whore who needs to wait 66 days before being
allowed anywhere near anything clean ever again.
She should probably also shower regularly.

A Woman's Punishment For
Defending Her Husband = Cut Off
Her Hand
105

53

"When men strive together one with another, and the wife of
the one draweth near for to deliver her husband out of the
hand of him that smiteth him, and putteth forth her hand, and

taketh him by the secrets: Then thou shalt cut off her hand,
thine eye shall not pity her." (Deuteronomy 25:11-12)
Okay this one is insanely specific, which makes it that much more awesome. This
probably NEVER happens... but if a faithful wife decided to defend her husband
by grabbing a guy by his junk, anyone, would have God's blessing to cut her hand
off.
How to Use:
Alright, so in the extremely rare case that you might witness something like this
happening and you know everyone involved is a devout Christian, then politely
recommend the woman's hand be cut off -- just to save her (and them) from an
eternity of Hellfire.
And once again, here's another rule that illustrates the point that if people were
better Christians, we'd have a lot more handless people walking around. If people
were much better Christians, then pirate hook sales would go through the roof
(and we'd probably have designer hooks as a driving force of our economy.)

Your Family Is Your Enemy and You
Are All Competing for God's Love
82

38

"For I am come to set a man at variance against his father, and


the daughter against her mother, and the daughter in law
against her mother in law. And a man's foes shall be they of his
own household. He that loveth father or mother more than me
is not worthy of me: and he that loveth son or daughter more
than me is not worthy of me." (Matthew 10:35-27)
So believing in God, according to the Bible, is like a life-or-death game of Family
Double Dare, only instead of having color-coded teams it's every man (woman
and child) for themselves.
How to Use:

So next time someone says "family first" it's probably them tricking you into
loving God less than you should, just so you'll go to hell and they won't. So,
according to The Bible every time a mother tells her child that family is the most
important thing in the world, they're really condemning their child to an eternity
of fire, brimstone and suffering.
So, once again, all you need to do to prove this point in front of anyone is really
just to ask them about their family and what's most important to them.

Discipline Your Little Ones
81

38

"Happy shall he be, that taketh and dasheth thy little ones
against the stones." (Psalm 137:9)
The Bible encourages disciplining your child... by throwing him against a stone
wall, baby!
Doing so will apparently make you "happy" (if you're a sadistic psychopath, or if
you hate your children.)
This is a dangerous encouragement of violence against helpless children and if
followed, could easily be used to justify parents who shake their kids to death to
make them stop crying or for simply just child abuse.
How to Use:
So next time someone's trying to prove that every passage of The Bible is beautiful
and should be closely followed, ask them if they beat their kids.

If Your Brother Dies, You Need to


Bang His Wife
"Master, Moses wrote unto us, If a man's brother die, and leave
his wife behind him, and leave no children, that his brother
should take his wife, and raise up seed unto his brother." (Mark
12:19)
Moses, the prophet who delivered his fellow Jews from a wicked Egyptian tyrant
and led them across the parted Red Sea, had apparently told this speaker that if a
woman is widowed, her late husband's brother should sleep with her and produce
heirs for his brother. From a traveling crowd of people that were homeless for 40
years, this actually makes sense... but not so much for this day and age.
Picture that -- a grieving widow is visited by her husband's brother to have sex the
night of the funeral.
How to Use:
repopulating simply to have heirs doesn't exist as a valid concept anymore. Plenty
of couples are choosing not to reproduce at all and with a recession and climate
crisis on our hands, they're doing the world a favor. If this rule has been allowed
to become obsolete, why not others that ruin people's lives?

Cursing At Your Parents Warrants
Death
62

27

"For every one that curseth his father or his mother shall be
surely put to death: he hath cursed his father or his mother;
his blood shall be upon him." (Leviticus 20:9)
If every kid in America who cursed at his parents was killed, we'd have to worry
about repopulating the country. Every day.
So, really all you'll have to do to silence any screaming protester outside an
abortion clinic, military funeral, or even a family member that's being a little too

smug about their religious beliefs is ask them how their parents are doing.
The context of this forgotten rule is all part of Christianity's established hierarchy,
which gives parents absolute power over their children, and all men power over
women. So if you're a father, you really have more power than pretty much
everyone on earth except God.
How to Use:
Try bringing this up in front of a man's wife or children, see how that goes.

Non-Virgins Are To Be Stoned (As in,
with Rocks)
70

37

"But if this thing be true, and the tokens of virginity be not


found for the damsel: Then they shall bring out the damsel to
the door of her father's house, and the men of her city shall
stone her with stones that she die: because she hath wrought
folly in Israel, to play the whore in her father's house: so shalt
thou put evil away from among you." (Deuteronomy 22: 20-21)
The "father's house" in Paris Hilton's case would be any Hilton hotel, so we know
that if fundamentalists were really taking everything the way "God" intended,
then it should be a well-known and widespread Christian agenda to call for the
public stoning of Paris Hilton.
Also, there are edge-cases where if a little girl has an accident or is injured during
sports, The Bible says they should be stoned to death.
It's pretty well known that it's entirely possible (and not at all irregular) for a
young woman's hymen to be accidentally broken due to accidents or even playing
certain sports like gymnastics.
This also means that in order to enforce a rule like this, we'd need to have regular
"Hymen Checks" at churches, but we don't, because we're human beings and

we're trying to live in a little thing called "society."


So then why let this one slide and not things like gay marriage?

Invite Your Attacker To Beat You
More
60

35

"But I say unto you, That ye resist not evil: but whosoever shall
smite thee on thy right cheek, turn to him the other also."
(Matthew 5:39)
Really? "Please sir, may I have another?" is a Biblical rule? I thought it was just an
S&M command.
How to Use
Passivity may be better than war and violence, but inviting someone to continue
beating you seems a bit much. The best way to test this, of course, would be to
openly attack someone and see if they pull a "please sir, may I have another?"
... This can't end well.
1.

"For whatsoever man he be that hath a blemish, he shall


not approach: a blind man, or a lame, or he that hath a flat
nose, or any thing superfluous, Or a man that is brokenfooted,
or brokenhanded, Or crookbackt, or a dwarf, or that hath a
blemish in his eye, or be scurvy, or scabbed, or hath his stones
broken. No man that hath a blemish of the seed of Aaron the
priest shall come nigh to offer the offerings of the Lord made
by fire: he hath a blemish; he shall not come nigh to offer the
bread of his God." (Leviticus 21:18-21)
Apparently, God reads US Weekly and takes it to heart. Although since he is all
knowing and all powerful, then that also means that he reads every magazine ever
written.
So it theoretically isn't an untrue statement that yes, God reads Out Magazine.

According to The Bible, people who are born with or acquire defects throughout
their lives should not approach the altar of a Church to make an offering to God
because they "hath a blemish."
Christians are always saying God loves everyone but this list of "or"s excludes a
whole group of people who actually have no control over what they look like most
of the time.
From something as superficial as a flat nose to once again with the "broken
stones" (Women may be inferior in God's eyes, but he sure knows how to make a
man feel worthless.)
Congrats God, you've found a way to hold every disabled and unprotected person
responsible for things out of their control and make them feel like crap about it.
How to Use:
If there's even one disabled person with a serious physical problem or deformity
in the church, you need to remind the church goers that he needs to be removed if
anyone's going to get any kind of legitimate praying, singing and donating done.

No Sex During A Woman's Period
47

26

"...thou shalt not approach unto a woman to uncover her


nakedness, as long as she is put apart for her uncleanness."
(Leviticus 18:19)
No, this doesn't mean that guys aren't allowed around chicks that don't shower.
That's fine (according to The Bible.) It means that when a woman is going
through her "woman times" a man is not allowed to "approach" her, which in
Biblespeak means sex -- much like "knowing" does.
This passage forbids men from sleeping with a woman on her period, which in the
Bible is known as "uncleanness." That uncleanness is of course the means to
human reproduction and has been known as the bane of female existence for
causing monthly cramps, breakouts, mood swings and mass destruction.

Now, this is one to bring up to women because although a lot of people follow this
rule anyway just for "hygenic" reasons (it's really hygenically fine, but some
people are a little squeamish about blood), it's really a Bible passage telling men
to stay away, and actively avoid women during a time in which they should
probably be nurtured the most.
Now we've uncovered the secret mission of the Bible: pit men against women.
Forever.
How to Use:
Ummm...

If You Steal Something, or Sin in
Any Way: Cut Off Your Hand
61

39

"And if thy hand offend thee, cut it off: it is better for thee to
enter into life maimed, than having two hands to go into hell,
into the fire that never shall be quenched." (Mark 9:43)
If your irresponsible hand reaches out all on its own to steal some sunglasses or
touch another man's wife, the Bible requires you to cut it off. End of story. No
more video games that aren't Atari.
How to Use:
So next time someone tells you that you're going to hell, ask them if they're free of
sin, and if they believe that they aren't, then kindly request their hand. It's their
duty to give it to you.
Kind of like in that one SNL skit where Chris Farley gets on a Japanese
gameshow, where everyone has to cut their hands off when they get wrong
answers.

Give A Thief Your Belongings

"And if any man will sue thee at the law, and take away thy
coat, let him have thy cloak also." (Matthew 5:40)
This passage feels like the one above, but it kind of has a twist. If someone steals
something from you, you should hand over something else too. It's like a steal
one-get one handed right to you offer.
How to Use:
Passages like these make it seem like God didn'thonestly grant his followers free
will and in reality wants to turn them into obedient and mindless robots who
can't think for themselves.
Either way, a good way to test this would be to steal something from a Christian
and see if you get even more out of it.
... This can't end well.
