Organized Religion: The Devil's Greatest Accomplishment

By far the most provocative post I've done was the one about the corrupt Christian organization, CBN (Christian Broadcast Network), headed by Pat Robertson. Christians seem to be incapable of seeing, acknowledging and opposing the evil in their own ranks. The brainwashing of Christians is so thorough that even when it is obvious that Christian outfits such as the Catholic church is not only a bastion for pedophiles and the church has historically defended such animals, the Christian faithful synchronically turn a blind eye. Ironically, as Christians promote willful ignorance towards their own corruption, they simultaneously judge others for theirs. Christians are some of the most ignorant people when it comes to the history and origins of their own religion. An explanation for their ignorance is partly due to the doctrine of blind obedience which says that one's faith in Jesus/Christianity is supposed to be allowed to override all doubts - even those based upon common sense or blatant inconsistencies within the church or its doctrine. The Christian religion would not survive without the willful ignorance of its flock. It depends upon the flock not researching the truth about the religion. It's not just Christians who have been hoodwinked, however.

The most frustrating thing about religious people, Christians in particular, is that the only reason that they are Christians or whatever they are is that they were raised to be so - not that their religion makes any sense whatsoever. We should remind ourselves that there would be no Christianity or Islam if Judaism had never been. Both Christianity and Islam were born of the Jewish religion which is strange considering the fact that the Jewish faith is explicitly for Jewish people. It is clear throughout the Jewish doctrine that the pact God made with the Jewish people was for the Jewish people alone. According to Jewish doctrine, that pact God made with their forefathers allows them to pretty much get away with just about anything and still be "saved" from the wrath of God. Apparently God isn't supposed to break the promise he made to their predecessors that their people are his chosen and therefore protected. According to their doctrine they are also the direct relatives of the first man, Adam, and therefore the only valid humans on the planet.

Christianity was established as a usurping of Judaism and its Godly pact, which appealed to the masses in the early a.d. years. Many people wanted in on the "Godly pact" because this was becoming the leading theology of the state but the only way in was to be a Jew and the Jews had strict rules about what made one a Jew, the most annoying of which was that one had to have been born of Jewish parents. So what to do, what to do? What was done was a new version of Judaism was created with new rules that said that all you have to do is believe that the Jewish man they called Jesus, was the Jewish prophesied Christ (son of God)/Messiah and you will be counted as one protected/"saved" under the Godly pact. In essence, belief in Jesus is supposed to make you a Jew. The same is true of Islam. In fact, Muhammad, the prophet and founder of Islam, attempted to have his people accepted by the Judae-Christians and was shunned because his people were considered unacceptable as they were clearly prejudiced by Jewish doctrine - the Torah/Old Testament makes them the enemies of the Jews at every turn. Muhammad, not one to be deterred, issued forth the Holy Koran, which is basically his people's guide to being included in the pact - becoming Jews.  That's really amazing seeing as the Muslims and Jews never seemed to have made their peace with one another and til this day appear to be the sworn enemies of one another.

So Judaism is the belief, worship and practice of Yahwehism. Why Judaism was so admired was that it simplified religion. Prior to the advent of Judaism, the dominant religions in the world all had a more complicated understanding of creation and man's relationship to it. Most religions believed that there were more than one power always at work thus, God was often plural: Gods. The plurality of Gods made it easier for men to understand the imperfections in the world because divine acts required the cooperation and diplomacy of a congress of deities. All man had to do was look at its own governing bodies and the chaos surrounding the decisions between them in order to accept every one of the oddities in the world as the fallacy or mischief of the Gods. The Jews struggled in their own doctrine to get around believing in God as a singular entity. The Jewish God was supposed to be the "one true God". So everything in the world was put on the shoulders of Yahweh. The problem was that if Yahweh was the only God and he was supposed to be all powerful and all knowing, how could he make a mistake? If he knows all, why would he create a people who he knew would betray him? If he is all powerful, why doesn't he prevent a wrongful thing from ever happening to an innocent person? The one true God concept had its own issues but they got around these issues by way of "The Lord God". God the creator is Yahweh while God that dwells among man is The Lord. There is also the "Holy Spirit". This split identity of God is how the Jews got away with having their cake and eating it too. So they could have their less logical one true God along with the more acceptable plurality of Gods by giving God a split personality. While Yahweh and the Lord are the same God, they exist as independents who communicate with each other and one does some things, sometimes, that the other might not necessarily agree with but they each honor the commitments made by the other. The Holy Spirit is like this middle-man which is basically the go to guy for the unexplainable. Christians use the Holy Spirit to explain immaculate conception or the semi-divinity of Mary.

If you're atheist, the one true God theory probably sounds just as ridiculous as the plurality of Gods theory but I digress. It's amazing that I remain a theist with as much as I know about the wrongfulness of religion but again I digress.

So, now that we see where Christianity and Islam comes from, let's see where Judaism comes from. For almost all of their history, the Jews were a nomadic tribe of herdsmen and tradesmen having no homeland and a maintaining a mutable culture that absorbed aspects of the cultures and beliefs of the people they encountered. Jews had no one formal religion until after they fled Egypt. They arrived in Egypt as a result of fleeing drought in Europe. The Egyptians welcomed them and gave them their own land to harvest. Egypt had a formal religion which in time became the religion the Jews also practiced seeing as they were in Egypt for nearly 500 years. Eventually their arose a craving for self identity among the Jews - they desired their own religion with a God that looked like them. They desired their own home land governed by them - where they were in control of their own destiny. The Jews migrated from Egypt in search of their own. In the process, they created/recreated what they understood about religion and made their selves the children of God. After practicing a religion for 500 years that said that the Egyptians were the "Children of the Sun"/children of God, it didn't take long for them to get used to the idea of a God that supposedly favored them above all others.After having lived as a nomadic people for generations, they had gathered enough religious stories/beliefs to create their own and after having practiced a formal religion for nearly 500 years they knew how to institutionalize religion. This explains why almost every mystical tale in the Old Testament can be found in the religious doctrine of many other cultures that predate the Torah.

Even though the tale of the Jews in Egypt is taught as some terrible slavery saga, the fact is that they were not slave and not tortured and not captive. They were welcomed by the Egyptians, given their own land and some even accepted in the government. When you read the Biblical tale you see that prior to the Jews coming to Egypt, the Egyptian people owned their own lands and payed no taxes to the Pharaoh. When the land was in drought, the Jewish governor appointed by the pharaoh decided to force all Egyptians to consolidate their harvests from which his people were free to feed while the actual Egyptians had to sacrifice their land or agree to pay taxes to the state in order to feed their families. This does not sound like any form of slavery I've ever heard of.  Then there is the tale of the Jews' exodus from Egypt. These people were a parasite on the Egyptian culture and the Egyptians were too kind it seems to destroy them which they could have done with ease at any time but according to the ridiculous Biblical story, the Egyptians were preventing them from leaving. Why? First off, the Jews were a small minority tribe within Egypt that could have been exterminated without the Egyptian army even blinking. Secondly, what benefit to Egypt was the presence of the Jews? None. In fact, their exodus would have been a relief on the resources of the country and it's no surprise that their so-called exodus coincides with the time of the famine. As they always did as a nomadic people, they fled for greener pastors. No one attempted to stop them.

So the Jews flee famine in Egypt, recreate the Egyptian religion with the inclusion of the religious sagas of other cultures they'd encountered and in a simplified fashion of the "one true god" concept.  Their religion is eventually idealized by the most powerful states and reissued as Christianity and Islam by those wanting to be included in the Jewish god pact. The net result is that Judaism, Christianity and Islam become the bloodiest instruments of evil ever formed. More people have died in the name of the "one true god" than for any other reason ever in the history of humanity. In my opinion, the devil created a godly form of himself: Yahweh and everyone who worships him are unknowingly worshiping the devil. This explains why the more influence and power and people the big three religions have in their ranks, the worse off the world - the more corrupt the world is. Shouldn't the world be getting better as a result of all these religious devotees increasing in numbers? Why is the exact opposite happening? Because they are actually joining the devil's ranks.
