The Antichristian Phenomenon

This is perhaps a perfect example of outright lies used to further a theological position.

From the article…

A CATHOLIC leader has claimed condoms are infected with HIV deliberately.

Maputo Archbishop Francisco Chimoio, the head of the Catholic Church in Mozambique, claimed some anti-retroviral drugs were also infected “in order to finish quickly the African people”. (more…)

The internet movie Zeitgeist has garnered both positive and negative attention for what

it portrays; that being a broad conspiracy of sorts between religion, wars spurred by acts such as 9/11, and those who stand to profit from both. That may be a bit of an oversimplification, but that is one of the very activities I’ve heard others accuse this film of; oversimplifying and overstating complicated issues and facts in order to construct a lie.

Something I’ve seen dotting nearby supermarkets and convenience stores has been a book entitled Complete Idiot’s Guide to Faith, an odd “guide” of sorts to discovering or maintaining a Christian faith. What’s strange to me (other than a self-help book for a supposedly inherent quality) is how the term “faith” is being used in such a specific way. It’s being used as a marketing tool, representing in this case a Baptist Christian perspective, and is somewhat marginalized because of it. It doesn’t so much push the concept of “have faith” as it does “have THIS faith”. The book cuts and pastes the Bible, which is frankly expected, in order to deliver Christianity as seen by Reverend Charles W. Moore.

Instead of forming their own opinion on the subject matter, I’m sure most Christians or would-be Christians would prefer to read someone’s epilogue of Christianity, just to get the gist of it as a sort of sudden death insurance policy for their soul. If nothing else it would save them the trouble of tackling page upon page of one-dimensional characters, pointless sub-plots, and poorly represented myth. But reading someone else’s interpretation of Christianity is not the same as reviewing it for yourself.

But if I may take the liberty of citing a very appropriate quote from Penn and Teller, “Read it because we need more atheists, and nothing will get you there faster than reading the damn Bible.”

The constant “Holier-Than-Thou” attitude that exudes from Christianity exists inward just as strongly as out.

Vatican says other Christian churches “wounded”

VATICAN CITY (Reuters) - The Vatican said on Tuesday Christian denominations outside Roman Catholicism were not full churches of Jesus Christ.

Protestant leaders said this was offensive and would hurt inter-denominational dialogue.

A 16-page document by the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, which Pope Benedict once headed, described Christian Orthodox churches as true churches, but suffering from a “wound” since they do not recognize the primacy of Pope.

But the document said the “wound is still more profound” in Protestant denominations.

“Despite the fact that this teaching has created no little distress … it is nevertheless difficult to see how the title of ‘Church’ could possibly be attributed to them,” it said.

The Vatican text, which restates the controversial document “Dominus Iesus” issued by the then Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger in 2000, said the Church wanted to stress this point because some Catholic theologians continued to misunderstand it.

And later in the article…

The document said the Council’s opening to other faiths recognized there were “many elements of sanctification and truth” in other Christian denominations, but stressed only Catholicism had all the elements to be Christ’s Church fully.

Such infighting and bickering shows how infantile Christianity truly is. Even if every sentient being on this planet proclaimed themselves to be Christian, someone would pipe up with “Well we’re the REAL Christians”. If every one of them were Catholic, some Bishop somewhere would proclaim only red-haired Catholics as REAL Catholics. It amazes and saddens me that none of them can see the inherent hypocrisy of their beliefs.
