Losing My Religion

2 Conversations

How do the rich use religion to manipulate the poor and fight their battles? Do they believe in God and Heaven themselves, if so why is it that they break all the rules? Is the Church really just another corporate conglomerate? …and why is it they never read the first two commandments, if they did there would be no church…

Now the Churches take money from the poor and live in castles, ie the Vatican.

Split a piece of wood; I am there. Lift up the stone, and you will find me there… Does anyone understand what that means? It means God is everywhere.

"God does not live in houses of wood and stone but in the hearts of men ... " Does anyone understand what that means? It means stay at home and pray.

Organized religion is a farce. It is created from greed, collecting money from the poor to live in comfort. Greed, one of the “Seven Deadly Sins” Place not these Popes, Bishops and other false representatives of God in high esteem, as they live in comfort and see people all around them starve, Maybe they should turn theses church relics into homeless shelters for the poor, where they might do some good for the community, instead of lining the pockets of these.

Am I getting to religious on you? That’s not the point it’s to end corruption on all levels.

"The Pharisees and the scholars have taken the keys of knowledge and have hidden them. They have not entered nor have they allowed those who want to enter to do so. As for you, be as sly as snakes and as simple as doves." …This just means they are hiding the truth and they’re not going to climb those golden stairs.

Must I be so explicit and spell everything out? I mean all the information is there in front of your eyes, can’t anyone see it. Doesn’t anyone have half a brain, just to figure it out? Guess not, see the bible was written in clue format and no one got it. Maybe they just never read it…

See the Church protects its Priest’s, molest a boy, no problem, just move him to another priesthood.

The Vatican, Crystal Cathedral, half this men of cloth take from the donation basket and by them selves planes.

Did any of these people even read the bible? Or the Commandments the ones that were written in stone, the one the mosses tried to break but couldn’t, the one that was written by God, his Laws? Now, who were these men who followed, that you read and interpet as the word of God, that you study in church? Now did Jesus ever say he was God? Now is Mary God? And who are these Saints they pray to?

Now just read the first two…
1.) " I am your Lord your God, You shall have no other god before me.”
2.) " You shall not make for yourself a graven image. You shall not bow down to them or serve them.

How hard is that to understand? Have no other god before me. Get it? No praying to Mary, No Jesus, No Saints. You shall not make for yourself a graven image. Just what do you think a Cross is, a statue of Mary, a Buda?

Oooop’s it looks like the Pope ain’t getting past those pearly gates.

God’s “Law” is simple… … that no one may find in the plea of ignorance a shadow of excuse. This is not a long list

Now the “The Ten Commandments” are in a specific order. Basically the ones at the top are the worst violations, why? Just ego. Now here we go…Kill, Adultery, Steal, Lie (well everyone does it, it’s the smallest infraction) well that number 9 you say… What about 10? Well in numerology, numbers being the universal language 10= 1+0 =1 Greed is mans worst sin. Now you would think it would be number 6 to kill, but alas all crime steams from greed.

“Ten Commandment”
1.) " I am your Lord your God, You shall have no other god before me.”
2.) " You shall not make for yourself a graven image. You shall not bow down to them or serve them.
3.) " You shall not take the name of the Lord your God in vain...."
4.) "Remember the Sabbath day and keep it holy" (This is God’s Day, Now Celebrate him.)
5.) "Honor your father and your mother..." (Now this would be God and his Wife)
6.) "Thou shall not kill”
7.) "You shall not commit adultery"
8.) "You shall not steal"
9.) "You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor" (Means Lie)
10.)"You shall not covet” (Means Greed)

Now the Church is against Homosexuality, yet they don’t even know where in the book to find their amunetion. Well maybe if they acctualy read it they would notice the “Ten Punishments” number 7, would be all they need.

Ten Punishments
1. Exodus 22:20: He that sacrificeth unto any god, save unto the Lord only, he shall be utterly destroyed.
2. Leviticus 24:16: And he that blasphemeth the name of the Lord, he shall surely be put to death.
3. Exodus 31:15: Whosoever doeth any work in the Sabbath day, he shall surely be put to death.
4. Exodus 21:15: He that smiteth his father, or his mother, shall be surely put to death.
5. Exodus 21:17: He that curseth his father or his mother, shall surely be put to death.
6. Exodus 22:19: Whosoever lieth with a beast shall surely be put to death.
7. Leviticus 20:13: If a man lie with mankind, as he lieth with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination: they shall surely be put to death.
8. Leviticus 20:10: And the man that committeth adultery with another man's wife, the adulterer and the adulteress shall be put to death.
9. Mark 16:16: He that believeth not, shall be damned.
10. Malachi 2:1-4: And now, O ye priests, this commandment is for you. If you will not hear, and if ye will not lay it to heart to give glory to my name, ... behold, I will corrupt your seed, and spread dung upon your faces.

Now does the Church even know them meaning of the word God? Well it’s just an acronym, it means G.O.D. Greatest of Dieties.
Now they talk about hell, but if they read the book they would see that Satan is not in Hell…

“Satan is not in hell, the place created especially for him and his angels and he will certainly be cast into the lake of fire, but he is now heaven where he has access to God's presence and accuses the saints before Him, day and night. His rejection from heaven, described in Revelation , is yet future.”

Does anyone know what 666 stands for? Well 6 is just the 6th commandment, thou shall not kill. It means kill, kill, kill. What does it mean? It means your marked for death, do be destroyed. Now who gets this invisible mark? All disciples of Satan. Now just who is a disciple of Satan? Well have you been following the 10 commandments, God’s Law?

Now do animals have souls, or is that reserved for man? Well if Animals don’t have Souls, by that fact, neither should Man, because man is just animal, he has just evolved over the last 10,000 years.

You see… There is no Heaven, just atmosphere. Hell is here on Earth; it’s what you make of your lives.

See there is really is no Religion, it’s just man playing a game of telephone over the years and the original message has got misconstrued. Did you know Jewish, just means slave in Hebrew?

See what is the War fought over? Religion and Greed. See now there is no reason to fight, bring the boys home and sell your control methods elsewhere. If the President believes in Heaven, let him go fight the war, just think he can meet his maker, just that much sooner.

Isn’t it ironic? …First the Romans killed Jesus, then they pray to him.

Put him on a cross and immortalize him up there.

I mean really, if you were captured in battle by your enemy, stripped naked, tortured then decapitated on tape would you or your family want this film aired? Worse, the photo of your most humiliating moment frozen for eternity and plastered all over the world? As for me I would want people to remember me how I was, in better times with dignity.

You know serial killers often take trophies of their victims. Now we make his likeness, because that’s all we have left, now we reenacted his torture, now we bow down and pray to it. …Sounds like a trophy to me.


Maybe he just gave man to much credit…
I’m sure deciphering his words were easy to him. Now, he understood their meaning and wrote them with a creative flair, poetry to the ears, but still simple enough for man to understand. But alas, man still failed to grasp its true meaning and the truth got buried in poetry, lost in the pages. Man just wasn’t smart enough to find it, the key (Truth) that unlocks the door. Must he spell it out as if talking to a child?

Teach them to be good, explain right from wrong, just ten simple rules, still they can’t follow them… Maybe he just gave up.

The difference between cats and dogs…
A dog thinks… You love me, you feed me, you take care of me, you must be God. A cat thinks… You love me, you feed me, you take care of me, I must be God. …Again Man has it wrong!

Remember Jewish just means slave in Hebrew… Now would God really torture his son for man? … They cant’ learn son, time to come home.

And crawling on the planet's face, some insects called the human race. Lost in time, and lost in space and meaning…

“Figure You Out” …It wasn't that hard just to figure it out. Now I did, you wonder why? Why not before? I never tried…

How would a parent teach their child? You first tell them the rules, and then you give them examples.

“Oh, no I said to much…” To complex now they don’t understand me. “I haven’t said enough.” Now they still don’t understand me, now I’ll try and explain again.

“Sign, sign everywhere a sign, blocking out the scenery breaking my mind, do this, don’t do that can’t you read the sign?”

The rules… do not kill, do not commit adultery, do not steal, do not lie and share. Now how hard was that?

“Nights in white satin, never reaching the end. Letters I've written, never meaning to send. Beauty I'd always missed, with these eyes before. Just what the truth is, I can't say anymore…”

Now I have so many for fun facts I just had to share, but I don’t want to overwhelm you…

The bible is filed with clues, play on words, and acronyms…

Just a few highly misinterpreted lines….

Noah’s Ark… An Ark is a curve not a boat. To be graded on the curve… And he chose his two best.

Turn the other cheek… Does not mean, now hit my other cheek, it means turn and walk away.

Just a few lines from the Gospel of Thomas...These are the secret sayings that the living Jesus spoke and Didymos Judas Thomas recorded. …too long a list, but just interpreted a few for you now.

"Know what is in front of your face, and what is hidden from you will be disclosed to you. For there is nothing hidden that will not be revealed. [And there is nothing buried that will not be raised."] (Be prepared, it all comes out in the wash)

And he said, The person is like a wise fisherman who cast his net into the sea and drew it up from the sea full of little fish. Among them the wise fisherman discovered a fine large fish. He threw all the little fish back into the sea, and easily chose the large fish. Anyone here with two good ears had better listen! (Do not use up all are resources, give back and it will come back to you 100 fold)

"Be passersby." (Move on with your life, forgive and forget… Move on)

"Congratulations to the poor, for to you belongs Heaven's kingdom." (Those without greed)

"Congratulations to the person who has toiled and has found life." (Finds joy through the tears)

"Look to the living one as long as you live, otherwise you might die and then try to see the living one, and you will be unable to see." (Appreciate what you have)

"Those who know all, but are lacking in themselves, are utterly lacking." (Be humble)

"Congratulations to you when you are hated and persecuted; and no place will be found, wherever you have been persecuted.” (You're invisible now, you got no secrets to conceal)

"Why do you wash the outside of the cup? Don't you understand that the one who made the inside is also the one who made the outside?" (Beauty is on the inside)

"The Roman emperor's people demand taxes from us." He said to them, "Give the emperor what belongs to the emperor, give God what belongs to God, and give me what is mine." (Do not take what is not yours)

"I am the light that is over all things. I am all: from me all came forth, and to me all attained. Split a piece of wood; I am there. Lift up the stone, and you will find me there." (God is everywhere) “… and the people bowed and prayed to the neon god they made and the sign flashed out it’s warning in the words that it was forming and the sign said the words of the profits are written on the subway walls and tenement halls”

"God does not live in houses of wood and stone but in the hearts of men ... " (No need for Church, stay at home and pray) “…If I told you what it takes to reach the highest high, you’d laugh and say that nothings that simple. But, you’ve been told so many times before, Messiah’s pointing to the door and no one had the guts to leave the temple, I’m free, I’m free and freedom it tastes of reality” …Just leave, get up and walk out that door!

Now I’m not trying to prove or disprove the existence of God here. All I am saying is that the basic premise of the word was to share, to search for the truth, to believe in your heart and stay close to the light.

What I’m saying is that if you believe in God, that Jesus spoke the word of God, he never said he was God. …And he never would have gone for men dressing like kings having you bow down to them and kiss their ring.

All you really ever need to know was the Ten Commandments and Punishments, possible the Seven Deadly Sins. You really don't need to wade through that huge book. It all boils down to... Be good!

The bible just wanted men to search for the truth and use their own judgment. Now you decide what is right and what is an illusion. For you yourself know the difference between right and wrong. It must come from the heart or it doesn’t mean a thing… Just follow your heart and see where it leads you.


Is this just Blasphemy? Well I still had enough strength to press send.
