OT: was christianity the invention of a Troll?

[jstewismybastardson]

I like how this thread went from Jesus to LSD. Quality work gentlemen.

it is quality ... we can now say with complete certainty that Christianity was invented by a troll who used to do LSD and shrooms under a bridge ... maybe thats why they scared young children back in the day


also, The Red Hot Chilli Peppers can now be referred to as gospel singers

This song seems appropriate (especially when you consider the group's name)

Why is there so much hatred in the world?

People unfortunately inherit their hatreds from grown-ups in a lot of cases.

Take this for example:
For very sick children, Israeli camp a fun diversion ? USATODAY.com

Arabs and Israelis having a great time together at a sick childrens camp. I've got $20 that says when they get a bit older and the indoctrination begins, they both develop a dislike - or at least a distrust - of the other.

Damn religions and their confusing influences.

And now this is an example of what happens when we focus on our common humanity instead of doctrine.

I'm sorry, this just really burns me up.

[TOX1]

My image is of agony, my servants r*pe the land
Obsequious and arrogant, clandestine and vain
Two thousand years of misery, of torture in my name
Hypocrisy made paramount, paranoia the law
My name is called religion, sadistic, sacred whore.

What if God was one of us?
Just a slob like one of us
Just a stranger on the bus
Trying to make his way home

Actually, what we can now say with complete certainty is that the concepts of jesus and god are derived from from ancient myths and legends passed down over time. Personally, I have more faith in the existence of the Troll because at least there's sufficient evidence to say he exists; god on the other hand is dubious at best.

/hilarious that if don't capitalize "jesus" the site's spell-check tries to warn me, whereas it is perfectly acceptable to not capitalize "god". Not that any of them should ever warrant capitalization.

And you know what; christianity preaches that those who don't believe in christ are inherently evil (god promotes you getting put to death, or thrown in the "lake of eternal fire" for non-belief).

So you know what. I'm just going to say that christians are fucking assholes; at least the ones that believe I should be sent to hell. If you don't believe I should go to hell, then I take it all back and apologize. Otherwise; again, fuck you. If I was a member of some cult whose doctrine said christians should be tortured slowly and put to death; wouldn't your immediate reaction be -- fuck you blindbaby, you prick. What's the difference?

Oh, and there is no hell, which probably makes this even more bizarre.

Any Christian worth half a shit believes that only God can judge you. Of course I know plenty of Christians who believe you will burn if you mow your lawn on Sunday, but I think a lot of those Christians are getting old and will die soon.

The Nine Satanic Statements

from The Satanic Bible, ©1969

by Anton Szandor LaVey



1. Satan represents indulgence instead of abstinence!

2. Satan represents vital existence instead of spiritual pipe dreams!

3. Satan represents undefiled wisdom instead of hypocritical self-deceit!

4. Satan represents kindness to those who deserve it instead of love wasted on ingrates!

5. Satan represents vengeance instead of turning the other cheek!

6. Satan represents responsibility to the responsible instead of concern for psychic vampires!

7. Satan represents man as just another animal, sometimes better, more often worse than those that walk on all-fours, who, because of his “divine spiritual and intellectual development,” has become the most vicious animal of all!

8. Satan represents all of the so-called sins, as they all lead to physical, mental, or emotional gratification!

9. Satan has been the best friend the Church has ever had, as He has kept it in business all these years!


Taken from Satanic doctrine and probably more in line with what I believe. I'm going to be a Satanist for a while; at least until their doctrine starts to grind my gears.

I read LaVey's book, and then I got to the part where he says "Don't let anyone else tell you what to believe, think for yourself". So I burned his bitch ass book.
