“: not genuine or real: as a (1) : intended to deceive or mislead (2) : intended to defraud : counterfeit b : arousing suspicion : probably dishonest c : having no basis in fact” -Merriam/Webster

Anyone with a faith, has faith, that everyone else’s faith, is phony. “Everyone else” knows how ridiculous any single religion is, just like each religion knows how ridiculous everyone else’s is. This can actually be placed into a simple mathematical equation equaling every faith, is in fact, phony.

Faith is a word needed to sum up the battle between a person’s rational and irrational mind. The rational mind is trying to tie together reality with imagination. What we perceive to be going on is the result of our mind coming to a “conclusion” based on external input. The brain has the ability to come to conclusions quickly, even thought it may sometimes be wrong! Ever feel like you’re going backwards when a car next to you takes off? Then you’re mind “flips” back? This is evolution helping us out. Its safer to mistake a shadow for an assassin, then an assassin for a shadow! Having faith in anything, is in essence forcing an unending battle on the mind to draw conclusions based on fiction. The mind KNOWS what is rational. You can manipulate your actions, but you’ll never truly convince the mind of anything that is fantasy!

Golden streets, perfect weather, no hunger or sadness, meeting people who lived long ago, and long overdue visits with loved ones! This is what and why everyone believes. If you really know that what you’re participating in is true, then why doesn’t everyone grab the first ticket they can get their hands on! Why such a grasp to life? Go ahead and donate both kidneys to save two lives. A short prayer, as death slowly overcomes, is indeed a 1 way ticket to heaven! The rational part of the mind is not on board, so that’s why we don’t get up in search of “someone to push out of the way of a bus” each day. The rational mind doesn’t always have the answer, but it is certain when something is clearly imaginary. Even a child that believes in Santa and fairies will give a “nuh uhh?”, when confronted with an outlandish story. Everyone actually “knows” they are wrong so its easier to just not think about it. Hence, the fear of death, persists…

Faith, is something unnatural. Belief without evidence. Belief in contradiction to evidence. Belief in a lie. Trusting in humanity for the truth about life. This is the same humanity that conquers and controls. The same that lies and cheats. The same that has every other faith, (that exists, or ever has existed), brainwashed into doing exactly as told. Conquering people’s minds without evidence and in most cases directly contradicting history, science, mathematics, physics, and general common sense…

 

001: Fodder for Followers- God told me to perpetuate this whole antichrist nonsense in order to help other Christians! He will intervene at the precise moment (me and God have already prearranged when) so I am able to help Him “launch” His NEW 11th COMMANDMENT!! Ready for it? He said to me; “let the world know”! ——- 11:”Thou shalt not OWN each other”. It was supposed to be in there in the first place. Apparently Moses came off the mountain to get another tablet (to keep writing additional rules). He then got so bent out of shape regarding a golden calf that he broke the ones he had completed! A bunch of shit then went down, and it kinda just absentmindedly got left out. So God recruited me to help! Thanks…

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.”
