im pissed. as in seriously seriously PISSED. i fucking hate everyone on this planet. EVERY.SINGLE.BLOODY.PERSON(dear and good friends not included). the world is screwed up really. im sorry i really have to vent my frustration today. wanna hear something very interesting? alright. i think i'll rant about religion today, so that you people can finally realise what you have been into all along.
if you notice, MOST, if not all, religions say that there's a heaven and hell. if you're a good person, you go to heaven, if you're a bad person, you go to hell, blah blah blah. ever wondered what is a "good" person and a "bad" person? i'll put it into a nutshell for you. good = 1) you must practice whatever that religion teaches you. 2) obviously, you must be a member of that religion. bad = 1) you cheat, you steal, you murder, basically doing anything that goes against morals 2) "YOU ARE NOT IN MY RELIGION" notice the irony? if you're not in their religion, you will go to hell. and you cant possibly be a member of ALL the religions in the world. i.e. everyone goes to hell, no matter how kind a soul you might be o.o cool huh. throws some doubt as to whether there's really a heaven and a hell too, but nvm i shall discuss that ltr.
if you dont mind now let me turn your attention to Christianity. and i believe those close to me will realise: i HATE churches. why? because they arent teaching what the Bible teaches. damn it. dont believe me? let me prove it to you. a few basic doctrinal untruths. 1) myth - Jesus is God JESUS ISNT GOD, DAMN YOU. Jesus is the son of God. even after his resurrection he is not a God. i think this teaching was because some bugger read John 1:1 and took it literally. fyi John 1:1 reads "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God." go do some research, the literal Greek text reads "In beginning was the word, and the word was toward the god, and god was the word." It was clearly proper to capitalise the word "God". BUT. capitalising it does not have the same justification. First, it should be noted that the text itself shows that the Word was "with God," hence could not be God, that is, be the Almighty God. the Hebrew Scriptures also consistently show that there is but one Almighty God. the Greek Scriptures do not contradict this teaching, but instead support it. Jesus Christ himself said, "The Father is greater than I am" and referred to the Father as his God, "the only true God." Even after Jesus’ ascension into heaven his apostles continued to present the same picture. -1 Cor. 11:3; 15:24-28; 1 John 4:9,10
2) myth - God is a Trinity Most of the churches teach this. sigh. i'll give a million dollars to anyone who can ever spot the word "Trinity" in the Bible.Neither can you ever find a Scripture that says that God is made up of three distinct persons, Father, Son, and holy spirit, but that the three are only one God, nor one that says that the Father, Son, and holy spirit are equal in all ways, such as in eternity, power, position, and wisdom. then how did it start? try a bit of reasearch on it, you'll be surprised ^^ it has a purely PAGAN origin. the Trinity doctrine, in fact, was largely based on trinitarian ideas of Greek philosophers such as Plato. Before Plato, triads, or trinities, were common in Babylon and Egypt. And the efforts of churchmen to attract unbelievers in the Roman world led to the gradual incorporation of some of those ideas into Christianity. This eventually led to acceptance of the belief that the Son and the holy spirit were equal to the Father. as for the term Trinity, its a long story, but basically, Yale professor E. Washburn Hopkins put it this way: "The final orthodox definition of the trinity was largely a matter of church politics." COOL -.-
3) myth - Jesus was born on Dec 25, i.e. Christmas WRONG WRONG WRONG WRONG WRONG! damn it. do research on this too. pagan origins once again -.- and a few facts that will prove that it was impossible. First, can you find Jesus' birthday written in the Bible? no? if he wanted us to celebrate it, dont you think he'll have had it recorded somewhere? for example, the Bible does contain the date for the Passover and for the memorial of Christ’s death, which Jesus instructed his disciples to commemorate. birthday? hmmm..... Next, does anyone know what the weather is like during December in Judea? In Daily Life in the Time of Jesus, by Henri Daniel-Rops, "The flocks . . . passed the winter under cover; and from this alone it may be seen that the traditional date for Christmas, in the winter, is unlikely to be right, since the Gospel says that the shepherds were in the fields." - Luke 2:8 Which crazy shepherd will take their nice little sheep for a stroll on a cold, wintry NIGHT?!?! "Christmas was not among the earliest festivals of the Church."—The Catholic Encyclopedia. then what are its roots? on this there is general agreement. if you read the Da Vinci Code you'd have realised it too. U.S. Catholic states: "It is impossible to separate Christmas from its pagan origins." It adds: "The Romans’ favorite festival was Saturnalia, which began on December 17 and ended with the ‘birthday of the unconquered sun’ (Natalis solis invicti) on December 25. Somewhere in the second quarter of the fourth century, savvy officials of the church of Rome decided December 25 would make a dandy day to celebrate the birthday of the ‘sun of righteousness.’ Christmas was born." WHOOOOO! AND, most of the customs associated with Christmas—the yule log, mistletoe, Christmas tree, Santa Claus, lavish gift giving, revelries—are also rooted in paganism. They have nothing to do with Christ. didnt you ever wonder what Santa had to do with Jesus or the Bible? o.o hence, celebrating Christmas will mean you are honouring the Sun God Mithras O.O and you are in effect dishonouring God and Christ. Christmas is in a couple of days ^^ still wanna celebrate?
4) myth - baptism by sprinkling water on the head, and infant baptism. this one's simple. read the account of Jesus' baptism at Mark 1:9-11. Jesus came "up out of the water". this is self-explanatory. baptism must be by full immersion of the body in water and, any baptism other than a proper one performed by a dedicated person would be invalid. Also, it would be invalid if the individual did not have a proper understanding at the time of his dedication.
5) myth - Heaven and Hell oohhh the fun part. alright we'll start with hell first. Turning to the book of Genesis, we read about the creation of the earth, seas, fish, animals and even the sun and the moon. Yet nowhere do we read about God’s creating a special underworld compartment for the broiling torment of man. It seems strange that, if he made one, God did not have recorded in the Bible the creation of such an important place as a burning hell. Yet suppose he did make one. Would not His love and justice have moved Him to warn Adam of the full penalty of sin? God told Adam the consequence of sin was death. Are we really to think that, after Adam sinned, God changed his mind about the death sentence and decided to give Adam the torture treatment? think deeper a little. we know that God is love (1 John 4:8) would a God of love subject a human to eternal punishment for his sins? Romans 6:23 says that "the wages sin pays is death." so if there's a hell, after we pay with death we still have to pay with eternal suffering. reasonable? first, let's look at the word hell. it was translated from the Hebrew word Sheol(mourning), and the Greek word Hades(the unseen state). never does it imply a burning place. further research will show that these two words simply mean "the common grave of mankind." now let's look at Luke 16:22-24 where the doctrine of hellfire probably originated. is this scripture to be taken literally? common sense will tell you no. im too tired to elaborate on these simple logics. this scripture is referring to the Jewish clergy of that time, pictured by the rich man, who were self-righteous and filthy rich, and despised the spiritually-hungry faithful Jews, pictured by Lazarus. Jesus tormented the clergy by exposing their greed and their false teachings and their hypocrisy. This, as it were, "burned up" the clergy. as for the word hell-fire, the Greek word for it is Gehenna. but thanks to translators many have mixed it up with hell. Now Gehenna was a place for dumping refuse, outside the walls of Jerusalem. Its fires were kept burning to prevent pestilence. Sulphur or brimstone was added to help the burning. Bodies of executed criminals, thought to be unworthy of a resurrection, were sometimes thrown into Gehenna. But live persons were never cast there. When bodies or garbage fell upon the edges of Gehenna, the exposed matter would putrefy and breed worms. The worms finally destroyed the matter. So there were always worms and always fire to destroy matter. Jesus used Gehenna as a symbol, not for everlasting torment, but for everlasting destruction.
now, for heaven. there's no doubt that there's a heaven. however, the question is, who goes to heaven? everyone that does good? Shortly after Jesus was raised from the dead, the apostle Peter told a crowd of Jews: "The family head David . . . both deceased and was buried and his tomb is among us to this day. Actually David did not ascend to the heavens." (Acts 2:29,34) So the good man David did not go to heaven O.O why? let's see what Jesus said. When Jesus was on earth, which was over 4,000 years after the rebellion of Adam and Eve, he said: "No man has ascended into heaven but he that descended from heaven, the Son of man." Hence, according to Jesus’ own words, no man had gone to heaven for all those 4,000 years of human history down until his day! then what did Jesus mean when he said at John 14:2,3: "I am going my way to prepare a place for you. Also, if I go my way and prepare a place for you, I am coming again and will receive you home to myself, that where I am you also may be."? undoubtedly, there are people that will go to heaven. but how many? and for what? fly around and sing hymns? these two questions can be answered using Revelations 5:9,10; 14:1,3. read them yourself. its too long to type out. anw, so those who go to heaven go there to serve as joint rulers with Christ in God’s heavenly government, and not everyone.
6) myth - Jesus died on a cross Sigh. the symbol of Christianity. im sorry to say this but the answer is yet again NO. The Encyclopædia Britannica under the term "cross" states that Christ is "generally believed" to have died on such a cross, that at best it is only "by general tradition" that the matter is established. As for religious authorities, one states: "The accounts of the manner of the crucifixion being so meager, any degree of certainty is impossible." And another tells that "no definite data are found in the New Testament concerning the nature of the cross on which Jesus died. It is only the Church writers after Justin Martyr who indicate the composite four-armed cross as Christ’s vehicle of torture." It is also noteworthy that the Bible repeatedly speaks of Jesus dying on a "tree" or a "stake", i.e. a simple piece of wood/stick. Moreover, The Cross and Crucifixion by Hermann Fulda says "Jesus died on a simple deathstake: In support of this there speak (a) the then customary usage of this means of execution in the Orient, (b) indirectly the history itself of Jesus’ sufferings and (c) many expressions of the early Church fathers." then where the hell did the cross come from? Dr. Killen, in his Ancient Church, writes: "From the most remote antiquity the cross was venerated in Egypt and Syria; it was held in equal honor by the Buddhists of the East; and what is still more extraordinary, when the Spaniards first visited America, the well-known sign was found among the objects of worship in the idol temples of Anáhuac. It is also remarkable that, with the commencement of our era, the pagans were wont to make the sign of the cross upon the forehead in the celebration of some of their sacred mysteries." yes, it is AGAIN from pagan origin. go wiki it if you dont believe me. the Buddhist Swastika, the Egyptian Ankh, they're the origins of the cross we see today! It was borrowed from the surrounding pagans so as to appeal to them. doesnt that repulse you? Furthermore, ever wondered why you are worshipping sth that Christ died on? so you're telling me that you'll kiss the revolver which a murderer used to kill your wife or sth? it does not make sense, its utterly incongruous. rather than being venerated it should be loathed and abhorred dont you think?
there's many many more. im just too damn tired to write all of it down; i've already spent 3 hours writing this post. if you still think there's nth to it them so be it, im not gonna force you to do anything. im just writing down some obvious ironies in religion. plus, mind you, im not saying that all the religions are bad. there is actually a religion that i havent been able to find fault with. ever heard of Jehovah's Witnesses? they are the ones which are discounting all the myths stated above. in fact i referred to many of their material for my research so far. and you want to know the most ironic thing? THEY ARE BEING OPPRESSED, BY EVERYONE! okay not everyone, but look, i think people have been telling you about them. well if in your mind they were some cult group who danced around naked in candlelight worshipping some satanic idol THEN YOU'RE WRONG. its some smear campaign by churches. thats what pisses me off. if you know you're teaching the wrong thing and someone else teaches the right, THEN YOU EITHER CHANGE OR DONT DO ANYTHING AT ALL! bloody hell. why smear mud on those that you know are correct? its a stinking cowardly thing to do if you ask me.
but im not promoting them here. as a matter of fact, i HATE them. i dont know why. all i know is that hate them. i hate religions, i hate people being brainwashed by all these lies and being used as tools to further other people's interests. exactly why i hate the world. EVERYONE. there are only a few that are close to my heart, and they arent even my parents, mind you. how about that. they say parents are the most important people to you in the world and i think its BULLSHIT. i have my reasons, those close to me will understand, and im not gonna type them out here lest they sue me for defamation. anyway, i think i'll stop right here. the post's already damn long. since its the holidays i think i'll find more things to blog about.
ta-ta for now ^^

hahahaha found this song in my comp. forgot that I had it sia. damn nice btw haha.
"I want you to love me, but I dont think you will." I wander around as I repeat this to myself But I finally came to the conclusion: Even if I'm afraid, even if I get hurt, because I love you, I will tell you so
It doesn't matter if you love me or not No matter how much I wish or yearn There are so many things that can't be changed in the world Yes, and the fact that I love you Is a fact that will never be changed by anyone
Passing through a thousand nights, there's something That I really want, no, that I really need to tell you
"I want you to love me, but I dont think you will." I wander around as I repeat this to myself But I finally came to the conclusion: Even if I'm afraid, even if I get hurt, because I love you, I will tell you so
I'm afraid of putting my feelings into words But because I love you, I will tell you so
The joy of coming together in this big world Can never be expressed in words Thats why we are smiling, Singing "do re mi" among vivd autumn colours Winter is behind us, we look forward to the beautiful spring so that I can be reborn, in order to protect someone
The road we walked and the road still ahead of us Each time I turned back, it was with timid eyes Wanting to face you, but I can't be honest I didn't dare to love you Time and time again not being able to love you directly, Even though I hated being lonely I was just trying to love you without getting hurt
But now, I'll pass through a thousand nights in order to meet you Because there's something I must really tell you
"I want you to love me, but I dont think you will." I wander around as I repeat this to myself But I finally came to the conclusion: Even if I'm afraid, even if I get hurt, because I love you, I will tell you so
Even if my wish doesn't come true, Being able to tell the person "I love you", That's the most wonderful thing in the world
I'll keep today in my bank of memories too :)
