In the bible the word slaughter appears at least 56 times, slay appears 118 times, slew shows up 171 times, & smote is written more than 226 times. This does not even count; destroy, smoteth, slayeth, die, etc. you get the idea. The bible is kinda violent. If someone made an accurate movie it would be one of the most graphic, violent, disturbing film of all time, and would surely be banned. Many times "The God of Love" orders followers to murder children, & other horrible crimes- without pity.
"HAPPY is he who takeith thy little ones and dasheth them against the stones!" (Psalms37:9) This is not some biblical bad guy talking either, these are Godly men.
"I will corrupt your seed, and spread DUNG upon your faces" -God(Mala 2:3)
"Take all the heads of the people and hang them up before the Lord against the
sun(Num25:8) [Christian's Satan sounds like God's identical twin!]
GOD KILLS INFANTS & PREGNANT MOTHERS!
"...They shall fall by the sword: their infants shall be dashed in pieces, and their women with child (pregnant) shall be ripped up!" (Hosea 13:16) guess "god" is pro-choice
God wanted Human Sacrifice!
"No Human who has been solemnly vowed is to be redeemed. He is to be sacrificed without fail!" (Lev. 27:29) [fully translated]
...And his faithful servants comply "They kill their daughters as burnt offerings to their god" (Judges 11:30-39)
<--sad story!>
GOD ORDERS CHILD MURDER & RAPE!
"Their children shall be dashed to pieces before their eyes! There houses spoiled, and their wives raped...Dash the young men to pieces...have no pity on the fruit of the womb, the CHILDREN SHALL NOT BE SPARED!" (Isa 12:16-18) * THIS HAPPENS OVER & OVER & OVER
GOD'S ANGELIC HIT-MAN SLAUGHTERS FIRST BORN
"... at midnight the Lord smote all the first born in the land of Egypt, from the first born of the pharaoh... unto the first born of the captive that was in the dungeon; and all the first born cattle" (Exodus 12:29) -prisoners kids too?! [the bible says God is the one who hardened pharaoh's heart?!] talk about "touched by an angel"
GOD KILLS 70,000 OF HIS OWN WORSHIPERS!
King David took a census of Israel. So God kills 70,000 for innocently following their king. (1Chron 21:2,7,14) Why was "the lord" upset at the census he caused David to take? (2 Sam 24) ..so follow you god apointed king and god murders you?! nice.
-"DOES THE LORD DO EVIL?"
"Shall a trumpet be blown and the people not be afraid, Shall there be EVIL in a city and the Lord hath not done it!"(Amos 3:6) You can further back this up by Isaiah 45:7 where the lord says that he creates evil!!
One, in a long list of Godly Genocides
"And thou shalt consume all the people, which the Lord thy God shall deliver thee, thine eye shall have no pity upon them... But the Lord thy God shall deliver them unto thee and shall destroy them with a mighty destruction, until they be destroyed." (Deut. 7:16-23) *got enough "destroys"??
God orders Millions to stone, one man! Talk about overkill!
The Loving/Forgiving God of the Christians; kills a single man, using millions to stone him to death. (Numbers 15:35-36) *typical of the ranting God of hate and fire!
"people lamented because the Lord had smitten many people in a great slaughter". (1Samuel 6:19) The christian god is a butcher! But he is also "loving" right?
HOLY CASTRATION!
"...Smite through the loins of them that rise against him...that they rise not again!" (Deut.33:11) Yeah I say we follow that for child molesting preachers!
GOD ORDERS BEARS TO MAUL 42 KIDS!
"Q-ball" Elisha was snickered at by some kids for being bald, so the "loving" god orders bears to tear them limb from limb, as Elisha grins! (2kings2:23-24) This was used to scare children into doing whatever the preacher man said, lest god be mad at them.
WHAT ABOUT OUR GREAT BIBLE HEROS?
Try to imagine the scene. After battle Moses and his army surround the remaining widows & children who huddle in fear. Then he calmly tells his soldiers kill every male child; panic erupts, as scampering toddlers are butchered! He then decides to kill the wailing mothers too... His demented gaze falls on the traumatized little girls, his brutal soldiers howl when he tells them "save the little girls -for yourselves!"(Num 31:15-18)
What did "The apple of Gods eye" King David do? Imagine being strapped down and slowly being dismembered with saws! That pain would be soon overshadowed when you see your family forced into a burning brick kiln -and they die screaming your name! (2Sam 12:31) Put yourself into the place of the victims, really imagine it:
You are a mother, hold the hand of your daughter. You shield her face from her dismembered father and brothers, you want only to spare her from the pain. She stares up at you, and you wipe a tear from her check hugging her tightly, partly to hide your own fear and tears, you whisper to her "Dont worry it will be over soon, I will be with you." The guard opens a huge stone door, a blast of super heated air whips around you. She screams, as you are both shoved into the oven! "Praise the Lord, the consuming fire"
#1 Tell them to turn to 2 Chronicles 36:9 -this is a verse about a king named Jehoiachin
A. Ask, them as they flip to it, "How old was Jehoiachin when he began his rule?"
-according to this verse he was "8" and ruled for 3months and 10days then "lost favor with God" and was replaced, by a man who ruled for 11 years.
B. After they tell you how old he was (Demand they tell you, make them say it) have them turn to 2 Kings 24:8 this is the same story only it says he was "18!"
Some will say he started at 8 and "reruled" at 18, but remember he was replaced by a man who ruled for 11years (in 2 Chronicles 36:9) so he would have been at least 19! There is no way out of this one, they will try pathetically, but it is an error
******
Where did King David get his inspiration to "number Israel"? Ya see, in this story, David takes a census, so god gets all mad and murders 70,000 people for innocently following their "god appointed" King. In 1 Chronicles 21:1 it says SATAN made him do it, but in 2 Samuel 24:1 it says "The Lord" caused him to do it! (maybe they are the same?!)
*****
Simple Question: How many baths did Solomon have? 1 Kings 7:26 says 2,000, but 2 Chronicles says 3,000. Well that's only a 50% exaggeration, right?!
*****
There are tons more, but lets get some from the Gospels, shall we? :-)
There are at least 35 contradictions in the "resurrection" story alone. I suppose since the early Christians were to busy stealing ideas from other religions to notice that they slapped the whole thing together totally screwed up.
Where did the disciples first meet the resurrected Jesus?
Matt 28:6-7,16 Says Galilee Luke 24:33-49 Says Jerusalem (about 75 miles apart! One is wrong!)
Is Mary permitted to touch Jesus after the resurrection?
-Luke 24:39 YES "Behold my hands and feet...handle me and see..." -John 20:17 NO Jesus said "Touch me not; for I am not yet ascended to my Father..."
Who carried the cross?
-Mark 15:21 Simon of Cyrene (Matt 27:32 & Luke 23:26 agree w/mark) *Simon ALONE carried it. -John 19:17 Jesus himself carried the cross [according to gospel, it is one or the other, not both!]
Did either of the two thieves believe in Jesus?
-Matt 27:44 neither one believes -Mark 15:32 neither one believes -Luke 23:39-41 one does not, but one does! [only 1 of 4 gospels has the nice story]
How long was Jesus in the (Totally against Jewish burial custom) tomb?
-Matt 28:1 3 Days 2 Nights -Mark 16:2 3 Days 2 Nights -Luke 24:1 3 Days 2 Nights -John 20:1 2 Days 2 Nights! Jesus said 3 Days & 3 Nights (Matt 12:40) He did not fulfill the prophesy!
JESUS! PRAISE HIS INCORRECT NAME!
It would be difficult to be called Jesus when there is no "J" in your language! There was no "J" in English for over 1,500 years after Jesus' birth. Jesus, comes from Greek Iesous & means annointed, but that was not his name either. His name was Yeshua, a shortened form of Yehoshua. (Biblical hero who is credited with committing the first GENOCIDE in recorded human history!)
JESUS OF WHERE? - NO SUCH PLACE AS "NAZARETH"
"Jesus of Nazareth"? The city of Nazareth did not exist until a Christian king, embarrassed of that fact, named a town Nazareth in the 5th century [Actually, the intended phrase referred to a type of holy man] Greek translators mistook Nazarine for an person from a city called Nazareth. A logical assumption but WRONG!
"The MESSIAH" & CHRIST
Messiah from Hebrew Masiah & Aramaic Meshina, is literally expected king and deliverer of the Jews, not the son of Yahweh/God! Christ is from the Greek Christos. literally meaning, annointed. Every single Jewish king was a "Christ" it simply meant annointed. A new king was annointed with oil at his coronation. It does not mean "son of God". The Messiah was NOT supposed to be God, only a really great hero-priest-King. They wanted a hero/rebel to lead the rebellion against Rome.(deleted from Bible by Roman writers, although traces remain) It should be noted that "THE Messiah" is different from "Messiah" which is the Hebrew word that we get the Greek "Christos" from. They mean the same thing. Yep, "David" was a messiah too.
JESUS -THE VIOLENT!
"I have come not to bring peace, but a sword!!!" (Matthew 10:34) He that hath no sword let him sell his garment, and buy one.(Luke 22:36)
JESUS WAS "VOTED" A GOD IN 325CE.
Like in most of Christianity; a bunch of old Roman politicians took votes to determine the course of the new religion. Yeshua was voted a God, rather than a prophet at the council of Nicea in 325C.E. he was de-deified and re-deified twice and was a god permanently in 380, this was about politics. Yeshua never thought he was God.
JESUS SAID "HATE YOUR MOM & DAD"
"If any man come unto me and HATE not his father and mother and wife and children and brothers and sisters...he can not be my disciple."(Luke14:26) ...I guess that was his "family values" speech?! (He was talking about joining the revolution, though)
JESUS DENIES HE IS GOD
Apparently the council of Nicea missed this one. "Why callest thou me good? There is none good but one and that is God." And again, "Why callest thou me good? None is good, save one, and that is God." (Mark 10:18, Luke 18:19) p.s. It was explained to some of our members that, get this, he lied!
JESUS' LITTLE GROUP WAS "THE POOR"
Jesus founded his own sub-sect of Essene Judaism whom he called the Ebionites ("The Poor") Get it?-Sell whatever thou hast, and give to "The Poor". (Mark 10:21)
JESUS, UNPLEASANT TO LOOK UPON?
According to the most respected (BY CHRISTIANS) historians, Jesus was VERY ugly. He was 4'6 stooped, and had brows that meet! He also looked not quite 50. This is according to people like Joesephas (sic) and other respected historians.
************ BUT BUT BUT***********
"Jesus talks about being Lord and things like that in the Bah-bul!"
Well lets take a look shall we. Jesus called himself "son of man" 28 times, Bar-nasha means in the three Semitic languages "a human being" ...it gets better. :-)
BAR-DALAHA - "Son of God" (oh, oh, they got us here huh? -nah) In the Aramaic-Semitic language "bar-dalaha", "God's son", "God's child" is used many ways and may refer to an orphan, peacemaker, etc. You see it must be understood that the term "bar" does not mean "son" in a literal way it refers to a likeness, and a special relationship. Never in Hebrew scripture or in the New Testament does it refer to a physical relationship. Easterners will use the term "son" as like saying "beloved" [the very idea of a actual sonship from God was seen as blasphemy to Jews, but not to Romans, hmmm]
EHEDAYA- "the only begotten son" (lest they throw this at ya, here it is)
Jesus never claimed to be God's only son, that claim was made by others, and found only in the Gospel of John. John has it as a translation of the Greek "monogenes" which is two words, singular and kind, when put together mean "one of a kind" I don't want to get into the breaking down of the Greek, suffice to say, it is an improper translation. A better rendering would be "unique son". It does not even come close to meaning what Christians think it means.
SO WHO REALLY WAS THIS JESUS (Yeshua) PERSON??
He was a rebel against Rome, a General of sorts that attempted and failed to fulfill a continually reoccurring Jewish theme: "The guy that is sent by God to kick but, and rule as a king" He was a racists, referring to Gentiles as dogs, and he was violent. If we don't view his violent speeches in a "join the revolution" sense they are perplexing, but when seen in that light they make more sense. Most of his more violent stuff was deleted by Rome. They even went so far as to add the fictional, traitorous Judas (who was his right hand man, and leader of his "holy assassins"), Stupidly, they have two different deaths for Judas. Anyway they made Pontius Pilat a "nice" guy, when in fact, he was a butcher who would never stand up for a rebel Jew. Rome blamed the Jews for Yeshua's execution, which is strange since under Roman law at that time, if the "Jews" wanted one of their own executed they would stone him to death. Rome only got involved when it was a matter of "Empire Security", as in this case it was. Roman censors missed the story about the man with the demons. It was an allegorical story about the revolution. You see Jesus asked the demon its name and it says, "My name is legion for we are many" and Jesus cast the demons into the swine, 2,000 swine and runs em off a cliff. Well the 10th Roman "legion" that was in that area had 2,000 troops, and guess what their banner symbol was -the Swine. hmmmm
None of the Gospels match up, there are tons of other fact, such as "non existent" prophesy fulfillment and much more. Roman writers got very little right. Such as, why a Jew, and a "holy man" at that, would be slathered in 100lbs. of creams and spices in the tomb, when all that was TOTALLY AGAINST THEIR CUSTOMS! And his friends would have fought to the death to prevent it! NOT do it themselves. shheesh
there is MUCH, MUCH more......
After seeing with clear eyes, the plain truth of Biblical Misogyny, any woman with an ounce of self-respect could never follow so foul a system, as "Christianity". - Anti Theocracy Alliance.
WOMEN KNOW YOUR PLACE!
Christianity's position on women is quite clear. Woman is a lesser being, created for man to be his servant. She is chattel, and seen as a "necessary evil". She is blamed for the fall of humanity. Basically Christendom hates women; this is all proven in these pages.
Herein we shall show, biblically:
--The subservient role of women, spelled out over and over.
--That "The Fall of Man" is woman's fault, and All women inherit that guilt.
--The "Godly curse" of child-birth pain.
--Righteous men offering their daughters to crazed mobs for rape.
--God advocated Rape!
--Biblical heroes, get rich "pimping" their wives.
--The Demonisation of a woman's menstrual cycle.
--And more..
GODLY WOMEN, DO YOU HAVE THE "SHAMEFACEDNESS" THE BIBLE COMMANDS?
"...That women adorn themselves in modest apparel, with shamefacedness and sobriety; not with braided hair, or gold, or pearls, or costly array...Let the women learn in silence with all subjection... suffer not a woman to teach, nor to usurp the authority over the man but be in SILENCE!" (1Timothy 2:9-12)
"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." Ephesians 5:22-23
"Neither was the Man created for the woman; but the woman for the Man." --- 1 Corinthians 11:9
"Therefore as the church is subject unto Christ, so let the wives be to their own husbands in every thing." Ephesians 5:24
Many modern Christian women will get all puffy and say "I'm a NEW TESTAMENT woman, so all that does not apply to me." For one thing you cannot completely divorce the OLD Testament from the NEW even though many would like to, Besides the above scriptures are NEW TESTAMENT!
A GREAT MAN OF GOD EXPLAINS THE EVIL OF WOMAN
"And do you not know that you are an Eve? The sentence of God on this sex of yours lives in this age: the guilt must of necessity live too. You are the devil's gateway: you are the unsealer of that tree: you are the first deserter of the divine law: you are she who persuaded him whom the devil was not valiant enough to attack You destroyed so easily God's image, man. On account of your desert -that is, death - even the Son of God had to die." -- Tertullian, great Church father
WOMAN'S TRANSGRESSION & PUNISHMENT
"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 chastity and holiness with sobriety." ----1 Timothy 2:13-15
The last line hearkening back to the original curse, from the first book of the bible:.
"I will greatly multiply thy sorrow and thy conception; in sorrow thou shalt bring forth children; and thy desire shall be to thy husband, and he shall rule over thee."-Genesis 3:16
The basic message here being, if a woman does not bear a child in pain and sorrow, (being barren or using pain medication) is not 'saved' from Eve's sin, and thus, eternally damned! Example, in Malleus Maleficarum 1484 (The official church's manual on witch-hunting. Or rather the torture, rape, and murder of women, sanctioned by Christendom), it states "no one does more harm to the catholic faith than midwives" Even as late as 1914 the use of painkillers in childbirth was considered a sin against god, and in America chloroform was regarded as a "decoy of Satan"
"If [women] become tired or even die, that does not matter. Let them die in childbirth -that is why they are there."
-- Martin Luther, Protestant hero, founder of Lutheranism
GODLY MEN THROW THEIR DAUGHTERS TO MOBS FOR RAPE!
Righteous men routinely offer to have mobs rape their virgin daughters! Thats right they plead with the crazed mob to rape them!
"I have two daughters that have not known man; let me, I pray you, bring them out unto you, and ye do to them as is good in your eyes: only to these men do nothing." (Genesis 19:8)
And in (Judges 19:24) a similar story I guess it was good the mob did not want the first father's daughters, because he gets to have sex with his own daughters in (Genesis 19:33). [Oh, but according to the story they got him drunk, and they wanted it! -Yeah right, where have I heard this before, Oh I remember it was out of the mouths of degenerate incestuous child-molesters!]
THE CRIME OF RAPE, IS NOT A CRIME AGAINST THE WOMAN, BUT RATHER AGAINST THE WOMAN'S OWNER.
Rules on rape are quite simple in the bible; If you are betrothed it is looked at as a crime, but it should be noted that this is not a crime against her it is a crime against the man to whom she is engaged. What if a young woman is not engaged, and is raped? This is also simple the man who raped her must pay her father 50 shekels, and since he brutally raped her -she is forced to marry him!
And he is forced to stay with her, which will undoubtedly lead to terrible abuse.
Her situation does not matter so long as her "Godly" father is able to get some cash for "damaged goods" and is able to "un-load" her as well.
Deuteronomy 22:28-29 "If a man find a damsel that is a virgin which is not betrothed, and lay hold on her, and force her to lie with him, and they be found.
Then the man that lay with her shall give unto the damsel's father 50 shekels of silver, and she shall be his wife; because he hath humbled her he may not put her away all his days."
GOD ADVOCATED RAPE! (one of many horrors)
"Their children shall be dashed to pieces before their eyes! there houses destroyed, and their wives raped... Dash the young males to pieces... have no pity on the fruit of the womb, the children shall not be spared!"- (Isaiah 13:16-18)
MOSES TURNS ORPHAN GIRLS OVER TO HIS SOLDIERS FOR RAPE
"Now therefore kill every male among the little ones and kill every woman that hath known man by lying with him. But all the women children, that have not known man by lying with him, keep alive for yourselves." (Numbers 31:17-18)
Can you just see this murderous savage, Moses, grinning evilly, wringing his hands in anticipation, and salivating, lustfully surveying the huddle of frightened little girls.
[Some ignorant Christians will try to say that they kept them as daughters or wives, but that is hardly consistent with a genocidal maniac. In a horrific rampaging slaughter killing the infants, and toddlers, then gutting the crying mothers , but taking the orphan girls under your wing?! Perhaps patting their
little heads with a hand covering in the blood of their dying mother. Sorry, but no.] *There are biblical 'rules' for taking a woman from a captured land, but in those same 'rules' it allows for the man to 'put her out' (abandon) after he is done with her, although those 'rules' were not likely done in this case.
You know there was a time before a woman's menstrual cycle was referred to as "The Curse". There was a time when it was sacred, as it was a sign of life and fertility. Lets read what the bible says, shall we:
Leviticus 15:19-23 And if a woman have an issue, and her issue in her flesh be blood she shall be put apart for seven days, and whosoever toucheth her shall be unclean, until the even...everything she lieth on is unclean...everything she siteth upon...Whoever toucheth her bed shall bathe himself and still be unclean until the even. And whosoever toucheth anything that she sat upon shall wash his clothes and bathe himself in water, and be even then be unclean until the even.
"Woman is a temple built upon a sewer" -- Boethius, Christian philosopher
'FATHER' ABRAHAM SELLS HIS WIFE (Who was also his sister)
"and it came to pass that when Abram was come into Egypt the Egyptians beheld the woman(Sarah his wife) that she was very fair. The princes also of Pharaoh saw her and commended her before pharaoh and the woman was taken into Pharaoh's house, and he entreated Abram well for her sake and he had sheep, and oxen, and he asses, and men servants and maid servants and she asses and camels." (Genesis 11:14)
Just in case you may think this is a fluke of fate, or as most Christians think that he had no choice, Abraham realized that it was a good deal, and tried it AGAIN:
Genesis 20:2 "and Abraham said of Sarah his wife, she is my sister, and Abimelech the king of Gerar sent, and took Sarah".
(However God came to Abimelech in a dream before he slept with her and threatened him with curses.)14 And Abimelech took sheep, and oxen, and men servants and women servents, and gave them unto Abraham and restored him Sarah his wife.
Not only that but Abraham's son Isaac, obviously learning by his great father's example, did the same with his wife Rebecca! (in Genesis 26:6-9)
BIZARRE CHEMICAL TORTURE, ABORTION or BOTH?!
The following scripture was often quoted to advocate wife beating! It tells how a jealous man, suspecting his wife of adultery, may bring her before the priest to be tried by poison, part of which consists of the dirt off the temple floor, which causes much pain and suffering, even if she is not guilty.
Numbers 5:14 -"And the spirit of jealousy come upon him, and he be jealous of his wife, or if the spirit of jealousy come upon him and she be not defiled.
Then shall the man bring bring his wife unto the priest, and he shall bring her offering for her, the tenth part of ephah and barley meal, he shall pour no oil upon it, nor pour frankincense thereon,for it is an offering of jealousy,an offering of memorial, bringing iniquity to remembrance.......................
etc...etc... 21- and the priest shall charge the woman with an oath of cursing and the priest shall say unto the woman, the lord make the a curse and an oath among thy people when the lord doth make thy thigh to rot and thy belly to swell. And this water that causeth the curse shall go into thy bowels and make thy belly to swell and thy thigh to rot and the woman shall say amen amen, and the priest shall write the curses in a book and shall blot them with the bitter water and he shall make the woman to drink the bitter water that causeth the curse and the water that causeth the curse shall enter into her and become bitter. (Many people view this as a "chemical induced miscarriage", and that the nature of suspected adultery, leading to forcing some bizarre chemical concoction on the woman, rather than simply beating the woman, shows that is may indeed be an abortion procedure. Also since the procedure is done on the man's suspicion, 'whether she be defiled or not', indicates this may have been a preventative measure.)
"Finally Eve's sexual and autonomy are cursed. She must desire only her husband and submit to his will. Eve's curse neatly disposes of goddess worship, scared sexual practices, and female equality with men all in one succinct sentence." --- Sacred Sexuality
"Now concerning the things whereof ye wrote unto me: It is good for a man not to touch a woman." -- 1 Corinthians 7:1
Now I shall quote some great, and respected, Godly men of Christianity. Keep in mind that if Christianity does not teach a negative view of women, it is strange that great Christians of history seem, by coincidence I suppose, to view them that way.
"Every woman should be filled with shame by the thought that she is a woman" --- St. Clement of Alexandria
"Girls begin to talk and to stand on their feet sooner than boys because weeds always grow up more quickly than good crops" -- Martin Luther
"We are born between shit and piss" ---Augustine of Hippo
"When you look upon a woman consider that you not face a human being but the Devil himself, the voice of a woman is the hiss of a snake"--- St. Anthony
" Woman is a tool of Satan and a pathway to hell" --- Jerome
" to embrace a woman is to embrace a sack of manure" -- Odo of Cluny
Suggesting that God had made a mistake in creating woman: "nothing [deficient] or defective should have been produced in the first establishment of things; so woman ought not to have been produced then." --- St. Thomas Aquinas
This hatred of women pays no heed to common denominational barriers, as it is a central tenet of "Christianity" in general. The Council of Macon voted as to whether women had souls. Protestant Lutherans at Wittenberg debated whether women were really human beings at all. These views show how the roles of women changed after a feminine 'divine' was totally excluded by force in favor of the new patriarchal Christianity which changed sexuality from being sacred into the 'original sin' and women from powerful priestesses into 'submitting in silence.'
"All women have been sexually abused by the bible teachings, and institutions set on its fundamentalist interpretations. There would be no need for the women's movement if the church and the Bible hadn't abused them." -- Father Leo Booth
The Bible and the church have been the greatest stumbling blocks in the way of women's emancipation." -- Elizabeth Cady Stanton
CHRISTIAN EXCUSES FOR THE MISERY THEY BRING
In terms of dealing with women, Christians may be quick to point out Islamic nations and their treatment of women. First of all Muslims and Christians both worship the same God, the God of Abraham. Muslims are only more literal in their scriptures. Also a common tactic used by the early church, as it is today is that any hardships, would have been much worse in other times. Christians and those in power destroyed much of past history and painted non-Christians as inhuman monsters, so now even today many even most people believe the Christian propaganda.
As far as their re-writing of history dealing with women Christians have all but wiped out histories of pre-Christian cultures that gave women power, and revered also the feminine divine. (see "Crimes of Christianity")
Misogyny is Misogyny, unbalanced negative views are not a good thing, no matter what they are compared to. And Christianity is not the final word, on spirituality. You need not perpetuate a system you know deep down inside grinds against everything you value.
Thank you for being with me so far Steven, with my next letter I will explain to you how all this happened, how the church and christianity started and why it is so big today.
Cheers and until next time.
