Clergy: liars

I planned to post a work about how incorrect christianity is, but it is not easy to start. It has already been done a million times on a few thousand other sites. What can I add? See the link at right titled 'christianity...'. It is the mother lode of what is wrong with that religion. The pages about the inquisitions, the debate over women being humans or not, and many other things makes you wonder how anyone could fall into that religion's trap. I suppose when you are brainwashed since birth and taught that way of thinking....That way being hypocrisy and double standards to maintain the myth, despite the factual history and texts.

Christians constantly criticize numerous other religions for having a 'pick and choose' option. Then they pick and choose which parts of their own bible to follow and which parts to ignore. Plus, they pick more things to add on to it out of thin air- as long as it is politically correct.

One thing I can enter into this field is a couple of my personal experiences.

A man who was the strong patriarch of his family gets brain cancer. One operation fails to get it all out, so the doctors schedule a second one. His preacher says that their god will take care of it. He tells the family that if they pray hard enough, it will all be ok. In the end, he suffered greatly and died. His family, and extended family, were crushed. The wife got into drugs, and later so did her kids and her sisters. Now there are several people with messed up lives because they just can't get over it. It has been 15 years now and they are all drugees still. Good thing they prayed so hard. They are still very religious too, quoting their bibles one minute and snorting crank the next. Meanwhile they backstab one another and fight like crazy. This is a family that 'knows' Jesus.

There is a different family that is also very religious. They have bible verses written on scraps of paper and taped up on their walls all over their house. They go to church every week. They are very nice people, six days a week that is. Then on Sunday, they become inquisitors. They want to talk about your 'relationship with' their god, why you don't go to church, etc. When you won't discuss it, they get very angry and treat their other family members very rudely. Once they even said that their daughter will be "beheaded before christ" if she doesn't change very soon. That was a new one to me. Any supposed christian that actually believes their jesus would stand there and watch people getting beheaded in front of him just because they did not go to church, well, they have a pretty screwed up idea of what Jesus said in their bible. But of course, these are the same people who went on and on about Obama being the antichrist because it says so in the book of revelations. How despicable that a crackpot preacher uses his position to dupe his congregation into believing political nonsense. This obviously republican preacher is a liar. That rumor was traced to a GOP senator in California. It has no context whatsoever in the book of revelations. Sadly, no republican christian even bothered to crack open the bibles they love to wave around so much. If they had, they would have learned that it simply does not say that. Not to mention their politically correct GOP invented fear of Muslims- it says the antichrist will be of muslim descent? I have one word for that: timeline. When was the bible written, and when was Islam founded?

It's all about fear and threats. Ignorance reigns. Nothing is verified. As for their god's commandments-literally written in stone- as well as Jesus' teachings: pick and choose time. Does the current politician speaking for the GOP say it is ok to follow commandment number two today? We already know that number one has been disallowed by modern politicians; this is why religious people are usually flag-waving patriots who support wars and genocides around the world: because their politicians said it is ok. That negates their bibles.

It is very sad that so many nice, well meaning people get suckered into this hypocritical nonsense by the mirror image of politicians: clergy.
