The United States of America will
never be a "Religious Nation" devoted to any
single religious sect/faction or group. How ever you want to put it, The United States will never be ruled by a Theocracy. If one
religious faction can come to power then any religious faction can. We have the
First Amendment for a reason. That reason is to protect your right to worship
your God as you choose with out being able to FORCE your beliefs onto others. That also means Atheists, Anti-theists, Agnogistics and any Non-Christian
Religion is(should be) safe from persecution. Though a majority of so called
"good Christians" seem to forget the days where their religious
choice was so unpopular, that they were imprisoned and slaughtered for their
belief. Christianity has its own version of zero tolerance for those of other
beliefs even with in the Christian religion. Some factions aren't
"Christian" enough and you hear people put them down often enough
just like any other religion. A contradiction can not withstand the test of
time. The truth is out there people just have to choose to believe the honest truth.
The Old Testament (as taught to me in my childhood) had the one law, the first
law. This was the only law that God needed (not mankind) to maintain control of
the people. You do not eat the fruit from the tree of the knowledge of good and
evil. Why would god even put a tree like that on the planet and yet put plants
and animals that can kill you? The very first Law did not work. The first
prohibition didn't work! Then comes: the 10 Commandments!
Apparently there are three different versions (I just found
this out myself) It seems that even the so called "Experts) can not agree
on which is the real version
There are 10, 17 or 21 depending upon which version you are
reading from. I don't mean different Versions of the Bible! That is another
mess all on its own. No, these three versions are all from...
Wait for it...
The highly acclaimed King James Version! Three different
versions of the 10 Commandments from the same "holy text"! They are
in separate books of the Bible as shown in the link following.
Yeah, Ten Commandments weren't enough for Mankind. Even
among the so called "faithful". Regulating morality is just not possible. We
have free will and are entitled to enjoy it. You don't have to like it. You do
however have to accept it and allow your fellow humans to live in peace. When
you infringe upon one person’s right to Life, Liberty and the pursuit of
Happiness, you can expect people to begin infringing upon your right to Life,
Liberty and Pursuit of Happiness.
After the Ten Commandment failure, the next biggest change I
see in the history leading up to the establishment of Christianity is the
"Virgin Birth" which in reality was not a "never before heard of
event". Yet this occurred, approximately 2000 years before the birth of
Jesus.
The Egyptian God Horus was allegedly born of divinity.
This would most
likely have been taught to the children of Abraham as Gospel in place of their
religion during their captivity in Egypt. Given the passage of time and lack of
reliable ability to check facts; Humanity's innate desire to create corruption
and Poof, the Son of God is born to a Virgin. However by the time Jesus is crucified
he claims to be God in his own right.
Back up, the Ten Commandments says that you can not have any
God before The God of Abraham (*simply for identification). Christianity puts
Jesus ahead of the God of Abraham. No one can get to God except by putting
Jesus Christ “before” the God of Abraham! That is a direct and blatant
violation of the Ten Commandments. How can any who claim to truly worship The God
of Abraham accept this blasphemy?
Confused yet? A contradiction can not exist. There are only
so many options; either one is true, both are true or none prove to be true. I
wonder why; why if Jesus was truly God, then why the elaborate lie? Why forsake
the children of Abraham (his supposedly chosen people? That's another question
all on its own) in favor of the Gentiles? Where the hell did the Gentiles come from? If everyone
on the planet was descended from the children of Noah, then everyone should be
from the families of the children of Abraham and therefore Jewish by default.
Why be born as a human child? Why wait until he is nearly 30
to attempt to convince the masses that he is the son of God and then, nearly
three years later, change his story and claim to be God? A true God has no need of such deceptions, flimsy fabrications
or elaborate scenarios. That is the province of the Tyrants attempting to
control the weak minded among Mankind. The ever evolving need for more and more
objectivity to satisfy their ever growing lack of security and need to support
their ever increasingly fragile ego.
Another question that has always nagged at me is the “No
other God before me!” line. This implies that there are indeed “Other Gods” and
that the God of Abraham is attempting to merely control the children of
Abraham. Or perhaps it is in reality the so called “Spiritual Leaders”
attempting to exert their control over the people for their own benefit? You start
off with burnt offerings, and then you are giving your offering to the
spiritual leaders to sacrifice for you. They are simply using “your’ offering”
to sustain themselves without having to actually do any of the herding or planting
and all the work that goes along with surviving in ancient civilization. For thousands
of years spiritual and tribal leaders have used their position and influence to
annihilate any that opposed them. The more Charismatic and strategic the
leader, the more prosperous the followers of that leader become.
I’ve studied many different religions to some extent. One
thing they all have in common is belief in a higher power (I originally typed “poser”…
kind of fitting in a way, roflmao). Christianity is currently the most popular
flavor of religious preference. For several reason I think that pertain to the fact
that this religion was created during an information rise among Tribal and
Spiritual leaders, “Information Networking,” for lack of a better term.
Christianity was created like any other Religion. Someone said, "This is
the son of God!” And others believed for whatever reasons real or contrived,
Christianity was born some 2,000 years ago.
Now the rules changed, other religions we assimilated into Christianity
by The religious leaders adopting some of the primary tenets that fell within the
parameters the Christian founders established. Then convincing others that they
were worshiping wrong and showing them the “true way” to everlasting life. A
belief most religions aspire to achieve, Eternal Life!
You are free to worship the religious belief of your choice
in the U.S. but not because the First Amendment says so, but because we respect
the Bill of Rights and the Constitution that the governing of our Nation is
based upon. Without proper respect and adherence to the constitution, Our
Nation is nothing. It matter not whether we are discussing freedom of religion,
the right to keep and bare arms or the right to protection from unlawful search
and seizure.
The Bill of Rights in our Constitution is the core belief system
that allow all Mankind the Right to Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness.
Without following these core beliefs and respecting the rights of all people as
defined by the Bill of Rights then no ne will have any rights.
This is already occurring in our Nation! People don’t want
to stand up for themselves because then they may draw attention to themselves
and some right they enjoy mey become targeted next. That is the exact opposite
of the truth! It is by not standing up and demanding that your rights be
acknowledged and respected that we begin to lose those rights. If you want to trade
your freedom for security, that is your business. I’ll take my freedom, my
liberty and my right to the pursuit of happiness and my chances in defending my
rights against those that would try to infringe upon my rights. Prisons are
pretty secure, but that is where we send people that violate our rights.
Prisons are secure but no more safe than a row boat on the ocean in a storm. If
you aren’t smart enough to get to shore…
I think you get the picture.
I want my Freedom! I want my Rights as defined by the Bill
of Rights in the U.S. Constitution! Without the right to choose for yourself in
matters that affect only you and/or other [consenting] adults, you have no
rights. You are not free. To think that you are is to lie to yourself and those
around you.
TRUE FREEDOM
IS OUR CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHT!
Accepting
anything less is an unacceptable compromise to OPPRESSION!
