Why Christianity is a Terrorist Organization

There are two ultimate’s in this universe: “All knowing”, and “ignorance”.

They are opposites, and as all opposites must do, they define each other, and require each other to exist. There is no “all knowing” without “ignorance”, because ignorance defines the act of not knowing. If there weren’t these two opposites, all anyone could experience in this subject is “it”. Just “it”. Or maybe “it is”. Or… what could you say? How does one say “I am all knowing”, where there is not the process or act of “not knowing”? What would that mean? What would it look like? How would one say it?

Of these two ultimate’s, there is naturally imbued symbolism which makes sense to our limited mind. God knows all, and so He is all knowing. We know this reasonably because it makes no sense any other way. How could God be ignorant, after all, when He created everything that was, is, and will be? That doesn’t fit the “ignorance” category very well.

Fear is born out of ignorance. Without ignorance, one would never be afraid. What would they be afraid of? If you knew everything that was, is, or will be, then you have no reason to fear. Even without absolutes, it is easy to see that a linear increase in knowing linearly removes fear. So, we know fear is born of ignorance, and we know ignorance is essentially the opposite in nature from God, who is all knowing.

Think for a moment. What if you truly trusted God completely. You believe God is ultimate goodness, yes? You believe that God feeds you, imbues your mind and body with spirit, and has always taken care of you, yes? So, if one were to believe without any doubt that God would take care of them (Loving God that He is), then there is absolutely no reason for fear right?

I am not speaking of your body here. I am speaking of you. God always takes care of you. Why care about your body, when God is taking care of you? We can’t be all knowing, but we can trust in Him who is all knowing, and if He is all knowing, and He is taking care of us, then where does fear fit into life? It doesn’t. It never will. Fear is an admission of a poor relationship with your creator.

Fear is telling God to His face that you don’t trust Him.

Fear is believing in yourself without God.

But this is ignorance, because we can never be without God.

Exactly.

Fear is born of ignorance. So to live in fear is to live an ungodly life.

So, now that we have built a reasonable and logical chain of thought, we can deduce the following points using reason to construct our logical chain:

  1. God is all knowing, because it is reasonable to believe so: TRUE
  2. All knowing is good, because God is good: TRUE
  3. God is good because it is reasonable to believe He is so: TRUE
  4. Ignorance is the opposite of all knowing: TRUE
  5. That which is the opposite of God — good — must be evil, because it is reasonable to believe so: TRUE
  6. Fear is born of ignorance, this is without question, we know this from science as well as philosophy: TRUE
  7. Fear is inherently evil, because it is born of ignorance, which is the opposite of God, and God is good: TRUE

We can here define “religion” as “a practiced belief in God, in goodness, in something larger than one’s own self, and of applying these derived values to one’s own life and actions”.

If you are still following me, then it might be obvious that “religion” must not, and can not contain “fear” to and still be called “religion”. Fear is born of ignorance, and ignorance is the opposite of God. Fear also implies one doesn’t trust in God, and how can you have a religion based on not trusting the deity that your religion proposes to worship?

So, without a doubt, fear is out, along with the dirty water and ignorance.

Now, let’s talk about Christianity for a second.

“Jesus died to save you from your sins” is the foundation of all christian religions. As I previously said, this seems “innocent”, and maybe even “magical” to some. But hold the phone for a second, what does this actually imply?

Let’s break it down:

“Jesus”… okay “Died”… brutal… okay “To save you”… to save me? I need saving? What happens if I am not saved? “From sin”… sin? You mean evil? Jesus died to save me from “sin”? What is this “sin”?

Good question. So, what exactly is “sin” in christian religions? Well, a little research will show anyone — even toddlers — that “sin” in Christianity is closely tied to “death”, “torment”, “eternal suffering”, “damnation”, etc… WHOA! Wait a minute? Their foundational statement, which upholds their entire belief, and their entire religion, is based on DEATH, DAMNATION, SUFFERING, and TORTURE?

Now, what are things humans are afraid of? Especially when they don’t intrinsically trust their loving creator?

Let’s start a list. Humans are afraid of:

  1. Your stepmom
  2. Taxes
  3. Death
  4. Suffering
  5. Torment
  6. Torture
  7. … and especially when these things are extended for great periods of time… like, let’s say… maybe eternity?

Hmmm… interesting. So the foundational statement, the statement that initially gets everyone hooked, IS DESIGNED TO TRIGGER FEAR IN ALL BELIEVERS.

Do you see what is happening here? This seemingly innocent statement — when you agree with it — is making you implicitly admit that you are sinful, and therefor evil in nature.

But wait, I thought we just decided that fear was inherently evil, because it is born of ignorance, and ignorance is inherently evil because it is the opposite of God, who is not ignorant, but instead all knowing? And I also thought we just decided that to not inherently trust God completely, in everything, and in all things is anti-religion, because not implicitly trusting in God is ignorant, and simultaneously an admission of fear. One must trust one’s deity if they believe in said deity, and who else to take care of them and place their trust in if not their eternal Loving God?

But hold the phone again… some of you will say “Exactly! We don’t need to fear anymore because Jesus died for our sins!”… you are missing the point. Sin– as viewed from the common Christian perspective of religion — equates to damnation and death. This means that God, God Himself, created man as inherently ignorant, evil, and sinful. He would have to after all, because we didn’t create our own nature, right? That sweet sounding little “Jesus died for our sins” is absolutely loaded with implications that God is actually a twisted bastard, a demon who enjoys sacrificing His children to some eternal principle of perfection that they can never possibly comprehend.

But… God must have had His fill of human sacrifice in the pit of despair that He apparently created, because after a few hundred thousand years, He finally sent His Son (in brutal sacrifice) to “atone” for these “sins” that… He created? Wow… what a violent, bloody, fearful, and ignorant view you must have about our Loving Father. I wonder how He feels about your view of Him?

Holy crap! Christianity is a terrorist organization! They deliberately have built their “faith” on top of a pile of lies — lies that are designed to stimulate fear. In short, Christianity (in its most common form) is designed to cause fear. It is designed to keep people hooked on fear. It is designed to keep people hooked for what reason? Why do those priests care? Why do those popes and bishops keep spreading and proclaiming this fear “from the rooftops”? Because they make money. Because they make more money than any other organization ever has. Because they took a leaf from the book of the Jewish priests who were doing the same thing (which, if you remember, was one of the very few reasons that Jesus ever went into a rage). Also, simply because it has always been what other humans have done, to use fear to control and bind the poor and suffering, and to uplift the rich.

You can not be christian and live without fear. I dare anyone to try. As soon as you cut fear out of your life, you also start to realize that Christianity doesn’t make sense anymore. How could a God of Love DAMN His children, in any capacity? How could any loving father do such a thing? I know I couldn’t do such a thing to my own children (or any children for that matter), and I wouldn’t. I would instead willingly choose my own eternity of suffering in hell to spare my children from such a fate. So how could our Loving Father be capable of such a thing? The answer is clear: He isn’t, and to give Him that label is insulting and horrendous, because it is untrue, unloving, full of fear, and ultimately, completely ignorant, which is the opposite of God.

God isn’t ignorant. God doesn’t spread fear. God despises ignorance and the fear that comes with it. God protects all of us, He provides for all of us, He gives daily to all of us, He gives us Himself that we might be conscious, and through His spirit we are given the freedom of choice, which He gives out of Love, because Love can never be forced on anyone, it must be a choice, freely chosen and freely given. He knows that we can only Love if we have the ability to choose — like He does — and He Loves us, and Love naturally wants to be Loved in return. So He gave Himself completely to us, in all His three personalities, and even making us in His image, by giving us the right to choose, so that we could choose to Love Him, because Love isn’t possible without free choice, and because He Loves us so much that the thought of an unloving universe is unbearable to Him, so the only choice was to give us freewill that we might be like Him, and choose, knowingly, without ignorance, and without fear, to Love Him fully and completely, so that we can be “born again” in this Love, in all knowingness, in perfection, in Joy, in godliness.

With all of this in mind it is reasonable to say that God is absolutely Loving, to heights we are incapable of pondering, and has given Himself to us freely, out of Love, that we might Love Him in return.

Nowhere in this reasonable conclusion do we find ignorance. Nowhere in this reasonable conclusion do we find fear. Nowhere in any loving relationship will you find fear or ignorance, only good works, Love, giving, trust, caring, supporting, patience, endless persistence, joy, happiness, fulfillment, etc… all the things that Christianity isn’t. All the things that God is.

It is therefore reasonable and also logical to assume that Christianity is a terrorist organization, with the direct and deliberate goal of causing fear in society and in everyone’s personal life, because happy joyful people who already live a God filled life of Love don’t congregate every Sunday to feed the tithe — while listening to horror stories of hell and damnation.

Because people who already believe that they are “saved” through God’s Love and Grace alone have no reason to congregate to find their salvation.

Congregations can be controlled, individuals can’t.

Congregations equate to a lot more $$$ than individuals ever will.

If you have fear in your life, you are living in ignorance. If you have fear in your religion then you are part of a terrorist cult. Please understand that, and make a conscious choice to never allow fear to enter your life ever again. When you make this choice, God will naturally (and finally) have room to enter your heart and your life, and you will see Him for what He truly is: So incredibly loving and amazing that we can not even begin to fathom the depths of His endless Love.

Jesus was sent as an example of God’s infinite Love, as an embodiment of trusting ultimately in that Love, of living a life intimately intertwined with God while also being fully human. Being “born again in Jesus” doesn’t mean subscribing to fear, or signing up to become a terrorist yourself. It means living a fulfilling life of Godliness, joy, peace, and Love. It means intrinsically trusting in God to take care of all your needs — as He has always done, and always will do.
