Summary

The web content presents a critical perspective on Christianity, likening it to a drug with potential negative side effects and warning labels.

Abstract

The article "A Prescription for Disaster" equates Christianity to a pharmaceutical product, suggesting that it should come with a warning label detailing its potential side effects. It criticizes Christianity as a placebo that interferes with personal understanding and communication with a higher power, fostering narcissism and suppressing logic. The piece argues that Christianity may not be suitable for individuals with a strong sense of logic and reason, and it outlines various side effects, including social alienation, repressed sexuality, and financial costs. The author, Keith Michael, a self-described Christian author and lay-scholar, challenges the veracity of Christian teachings and their impact on believers, emphasizing the importance of understanding the full implications of the faith.

Wouldn’t it be great if the government forced religions to have warning labels like it forces pharmaceutical companies to do? I’m not trying to keep anyone from practicing whatever faith they choose, but I do think people need to engage religion with full knowledge of what their personally chosen faith entails.

Here’s what a typical full-disclosure warning label might look like for the drug known as: Christianity—

Christianity—A Manufactured Product of the Roman Catholic Church

What Does Christianity Do?

Christianity is a placebo designed to give users a faux sense of self-worth and forgiveness for sins they never personally committed.

  • Christianity is implemented as a “wrapper” for the means of understanding and communicating with a supreme intelligence in the universe.
  • You do not need Christianity to communicate with a supreme intelligence; in fact, numerous blind studies indicate that Christianity may actually interfere with such communication.

What Is Christianity?

  • Christianity is a powerful global cult specifically designed to inhibit self-control and dull logic receptors within the brain. Christianity works by elevating your inherent narcissism while suppressing your senses of self-worth until you are no longer able to logically discern right from wrong and truth from fiction.
  • Christianity is built from an intricate plexus of interconnected fallacies and falsehoods working in tandem with circular reasoning.

Who Should Not Use Christianity?

  • Do not attempt to take Christianity at face value if you have an abundant sense of logic and sound reason. Many practitioners with IQ’s in excess of 120± may be disappointed with Christianity’s veracity and overall effectiveness.

Side Effects

  • Side effects of using Christianity may include: loss of friends and family; reduced or repressed sexual desire; homophobia; self-delusion; and the feeling that all of these things are okay as long as one is worshipping one or more of Christianity’s patron gods.
  • Christianity often manifests heightened feelings of myopic euphoria, self-centeredness, hubris, unchecked narcissism, unfounded hope, faux superpowers (such as the ability to heal or raise the dead), and the belief that everyone not taking Christianity is going to perish in a coming-soon cataclysm.
  • Practitioners of Christianity often experience memory loss of historical events that contradict Holy Tradition (See below).

Pregnancy

  • Avoid Christianity if you are attempting to get pregnant. Practitioners of Christianity may find it difficult to engage in activity that promotes natural fertility responses.
  • Christianity has been known to cause the loss of male infant foreskin in a majority of births.
  • Both males and females should avoid taking Christianity if you are pregnant outside of State-sponsored or Church-approved matrimony, or you have a male infant with an intact foreskin.
  • In some cases, Christianity has been known to enhance fertility, spawning a large number of pregnancies within a relatively short period of time. Avoid taking Christianity if you have knowledge of and are already using contraceptives.

Christianity’s Costs

  • Christianity is often free and available initially at NO COST. However, once a user is addicted to the cult, costs and expenses can rise quickly.
  • Christianity is expensive and may not be fully covered by most income plans.
  • Christianity has been known to bankrupt those with limited resources.
  • Many practitioners of Christianity report a 5% to 15% loss of income within the first 3 to 5 years of taking Christianity. Income loss can be as high as 20% to 50% with some individuals over longer periods of time.

WARNING: Christianity does not reimburse practitioners for loss of income. Ever.

How Should I Use Christianity?

Holy Canon (Biblical Writings)

  • Christianity relies heavily on a collection of ancient tomes and letters of unknown authorship and origins. Often referred to as the “Word of God”, Holy Canon is assumed through unvalidated Holy Tradition that these writs are derived or inspired from one or more of Christianity’s gods, also referred to as the “Trinity”, via one or more Prophets and/or Apostles.
  • Observers of Holy Canon (the Holy Bible) may experience mild to severe CONTRADICTION, a common and sometimes serious side-effect that has been known to interfere with Christianity’s overall effectiveness.
  • Users of Christianity often discontinue use once the level of Contradiction becomes too great to ignore.

Deities

  • Christianity deludes itself that it worships only one god while maintaining three separate gods, including the worship and/or veneration of a virgin goddess.
  • Christianity’s deities are not compatible with other deities of other faiths and cults even though its gods were inherited and rebranded from other faiths and cults.

Holy Tradition

  • A common powerful ingredient and side-effect of Christianity, Holy Tradition has been known to overwrite Holy Canon within the cult.
  • This side-effect has been well documented within ALL of Christianity’s various sects, including Protestantism and Orthodox denominations.
  • Holy Tradition has been known to be a powerful hallucinogen known to re-write Holy Canon and become an “accepted falsehood” with little more than one sermon or a translators’ edit of the underlying Hebrew and/or Greek.

Common Risk Factors

This cult’s effectiveness has not been evaluated by any federal agency or unbiased studies and should be taken only at your own risk.

In real-world clinical trials, Christianity has been known to cause hysteria, temporary insanity, and even death.

  • Do not attempt to use Christianity if you are allergic to illogic or hyperbole.
  • Practitioners of Christianity have been known to engage in fits of rage and even overt violence when confronted with Christianity’s failings, half-truths, and outright falsehoods.
  • The manufacturer(s) of Christianity take no responsibility for what practitioners commit while on Christianity (even though the manufacturer(s) have ordered such violence in the past).

Accidental Overdose

  • Overdose of Christianity is often common among a minority of high-risk practitioners—especially in groups such as: youth between the ages of 16 to 35; and the elderly, typically after 60+ years of age.
  • You should discontinue use of Christianity if you discover you need to: attend church or Bible study meetings more than twice per week; experience feelings of righteous arrogance and indignant superiority; pray before every meal and before going to bed; have a need for a “prayer closet” or shrine dedicated to one or more of Christianity’s patron deities; feel the need for icons (statues or crosses) within or outside of your home; feel called to become a missionary; or feel the need to tattoo your body with Christian-inspired emblems.
  • You should seek immediate psychiatric care if you are spending more than 20% of your income on Christianity or a local sect’s church building fund.

Dangerous Interactions

  • Christianity does not interact well with the following cults: Judaism, Islam, Buddhism, Taoism, Jainism, Hinduism, nor any faith with a Pagan-centric following. Some exceptions can be found in Judaism and Mithraism.
  • You should not attempt to use Christianity if you are already engaged to someone using another cult—especially Judaism or Islam.
  • Seek emergency psychiatric care if you suspect that you have subscribed to both Christianity and another cult accidentally.

What are the Ingredients of Christianity?

Active Ingredients: Falsehood (extrema mendacium); Overt Emotionalism (magnam passionem); Anti-Semitism (nulla iustitia) Inactive Ingredients: Truth (veritas)

Christianity is a wholly manufactured faith of the Roman Catholic Church, Inc., and various global holdings and practicing subsidiaries. Christianity is imported directly from pagan Mithraic tradition under license of the Paul of Tarsus Foundation and enforced by Emperor Constantine the Great.
