    Substitutionary Atonement - A Big Problem for Christianity

    It seems to me that there are two phases to this image of a heavenly 'Father', the first being the image of the stern and cruel Jewish father who won't budge on the principle of the Law, as exemplified, or anthropomorphically projected by the character of Yawheh, who delivered terrible...

    Substitutionary Atonement - A Big Problem for Christianity

    I find the whole notion of substitutionary atonement ridiculous and based on ignorance and superstition. Man doesn't understand the nature of his actions, and so seeks a means to transfer his 'sin' to a host, a scapegoat. Psychologically, this is known as transference. This was the idea in...

    New Statistics on disaproval

    Yup, and here's the latest pot-stirring development: I suspected that Manafort was the key to Trump's Russia connection from the beginning, and this guilty plea by Sam Patten connects illegal Russian money to the Trump inauguration and to Manafort.

    Burning at the stake, Gibbetting, and General Meanness.

    No? Think again. Witch burnings have been revived in Kenya and Tanzania, instigated by the Christian missionaries. There are many such horrific incidents of mass hysteria caught on tape like this one: ** WARNING: Brutal Scene **

    Buddha and Christ - Convergent or Divergent?

    The key to understanding the seeming paradox is to understand that the original man, Yeshua, was a man of the East, a Nazarene, a sect of the Essenes whose teachings were breath-based as were those of the Buddha and of the Hindu yogis. Yeshua was a mystic. His teachings did not include blood...

    My conscience is torn all of a sudden

    So God is saying one thing, and then latere changing his mind? What he said yesterday is no longer to be respected, and now he talks out of the other side of his mouth? What kind of God is that?

    My conscience is torn all of a sudden

    Maybe what you see is a reflection of yourself, and not a true image of the cold hearted monster that Trump truly is. C'mon now, Pope. Just admit that you, like so many others, have been deceived by appearances. Having faults is one thing. Having serious character flaws as a leader of the...

    My conscience is torn all of a sudden

    You seem to be attached to a system of Reward and Punishment. We don't feed people or withhold food because they're good or bad; we feed them because they're hungry. That they have committed some crime(s) is besides the point. We don't deny people medical care because they're bad people; we...

    New Statistics on disaproval

    Trump supporters seem to have copped a smug, cocksure attitude about their 'win', and enjoy rubbing it into the Dems faces. But it's all 'much ado about nothing', really. The Trump regime is proving they don't know how to handle great power. "Big Monkeys with Big Toys", my brother used to...

    "Dutch Sheets...claimed that it [Dominionism] would “play a prophetic role in getting the church to function as Christ’s Ekklesia, the representatives of His Kingdom government on earth; as such, we will expose the enemies of God, disrupt their plans, enforce Heaven’s rule, and reform America.”...

    Complementary science and religion

    Anything other than Brahman is not real. So any subject/object split is purely illusory, a product of the mind. The only true reality being 'Tat tvam asi'. Brahman is beyond all dualities, and therefore is neither subject nor object. To refer to Brahman as Subject in any manner is to create...

    My conscience is torn all of a sudden

    So what are you saying? That God's Word changed from the OT to the NT? Maybe this 'Jesus Christ' was not who you think he was. However, in Deuteronomy 20, God instructs his 'chosen people' to perform barbaric acts of destruction of the 'enemy'. But Jesus is supposed to return as a...

    B. effing S.! Christianity has the horrific torture methods of the 400 year long Inquisition along with the Salem witch burnings to be ashamed of, torture executed in the name of 'Jesus', and 'for the good of the sinner'. But while Muslims severely punish violators in THIS existence with...

    You don't know that Trump is labeling the press as 'the enemy of the American people"? ..and stop diverting attention away from the subject ala Kelly-Anne Conway.

    Yeah, right... Deuteronomy 20 Going to War 10 When you march up to attack a city, make its people an offer of peace. 11 If they accept and open their gates, all the people in it shall be subject to forced labor and shall work for you. 12 If they refuse to make peace and they engage you in...

    So how in the world can you support the Trump administration when they are doing everything to silence and demonize our free press, guaranteed by the Constitution?

    You are very naive, Pope, if you really believe that. You are falling for his bait, like many others. There is just one thing that drives Trump, and that is the smell of MONEY! Opinion | Donald Trump’s Racism: The Definitive List
