What is just?

When a child is born with mental retardation or a terminal disease, is this due to a genetic (evolutionary) mishap or is it due to a mishap in God’s creation process? I am curious to hear Christians answer such a question.

 If we are made in the image of god, why are some created less fortunate than others? Or why didn’t a perfect god create a perfect world? Can you think of anything more narcissistic than creating something incomplete so that it has to rely upon and worship you?

So what essentially is Christianity? I found a great definition…

Christianity- The belief that a cosmic Jewish Zombie who was his own father can make you live forever if you symbolically eat his flesh and telepathically tell him you accept him as your master, so he can remove a force of evil from your soul that is present in humanity because a rib-woman was convinced by a talking snake to eat from a magical tree… yeah, makes perfect sense! Right?

It blows my mind that people become so offended if you do not believe in something that there is no evidence of. I have to laugh when people say that it isn’t as radical as it seems or when they discount the things of the old testament as being symbolic because they cannot even back up its absurdity but yet they cling on to the new testament. Well, a virgin birth, walking on water man of miracles is just as ridiculous as a talking snake or living inside a whale. Believing in Jesus would be no different than believing in Santa Claus or the Easter Bunny or Big Foot. There is no proof of any of them. So, how is it that you know Jesus exists? What evidence do you have? What have you experienced that you are convinced god is real? If you believe you have had any contact with something beyond the realm, you are nuts!

Do Christians not understand that there are thousands of religions in which followers truly believe their own doctrine?  For example, how do Christians discount Islam? There is not more evidence for Christianity than Islam, so what makes Christianity right and Islam wrong? There’s just as many people that truly believe Muhammad is the true profit of god. Are they just less intelligent? The same goes for all religions and beliefs. The difference is that people cling to what they know. People are comfortable with what they are familiar with and this holds true for religion. Your religious views are based on where you are born and raised. Christians believe and fight for Jesus because they only have been taught of Jesus. Muslims cling to Mohammad because all they know is Mohammad.

Which brings me to my next point… Shouldn’t all people have the same chance at salvation? Then what about the 8 year old boy in china that gets hit by a bus before learning of Jesus? What about that 3 month old child that passes away? What about those infidels that are never taught about Jesus? Do the just automatically go to hell? Or do they get a free pass? How is god just?

If there is any god, it would not be a Christian god or a Muslim god, etc. What I’m trying to say is that the only way a man can be both intelligent and believe in god is if he is a deist. There have been many intelligent men throughout history, like our founding fathers who were either atheist or deist. What makes deism intelligent is that it doesn’t require evidence, like atheism doesn’t require evidence. Because deists realize that there are no miracles, there is no communication beyond reality. There is no doctrine of truth. In fact, deists believe in naturalism and reasoning. They didn’t believe in prayer and often they “worshipped the sun.” So what do you believe?

Jesus, the Capitalist Part II

What is the grandest endorsement? Microsoft? Apple? Nike? Hollister? The greatest endorsement is stamping Jesus Christ on something. We see Christianity used as a business everywhere. Do you think that the pie you bought or the local business down the street let's you know they are "Christian owned" for you benefit or to generate business to increase profit? Do you think that $23 dollar tee shirt with that cheesy Christian slogan actually cost over $10 dollars to make? Do you think that $150 Bible translation with a commentary actually cost more to make than that $20 Bible next to it? Do you think Christian music artists are selling their albums at $17.99 to spread the word of Christ? Do you think Christian stores sell products to spread the word or to make money?

Shouldn't truth be public domain? 

Christianity is a business, Christianity is a tool. It's used to make revenue, gain votes, and to create jobs for lazy individuals. Look at the price tag of Christianity, it's not there for your benefit, but for someone else's gain. 

If you had created an elixir that saved lives, would you want to get it into the hands of those who need it as easily and cheap as possible? Or would you try to turn a profit from your new creation? Any person with pure intentions would want to help others without cost in mind.
Now, let's look at Christianity. Christians claim to have the answers, they claim that your lives can be saved from eternal damnation. Wow, eternal damnation.... This is some pretty important stuff. Why is it that Christians are trying to turn profit rather than save souls from eternal damnation?

Shouldn't the truth be public domain? You see, we have corrupt, greedy individuals at the top of every pyramid. The Christian community is not set apart from capitalism. 

What about politics? Do you think politicians display their Christianity for your benefit or theirs? Do you think politicians can be true Christians in the first place? 

What about preachers? Do you think that preacher gives sermons on Sunday and Wednesday nights for the sake of your soul? Or for the money to provide for his lifestyle?

Oh foolish and blind followers of Christianity. Do you not have eyes or ears? Do you not have a functioning brain?

Jesus, the Capitalist

So, Harold Camping "miscalculated" and the rapture will actually occur in October. God made his "final judgement" on May 21st, so there is "no need to continue advertising the rapture," therefore, "Family Radio will only play Christian music and will have no other programming until Judgement Day."

At first, I wanted to call this guy an idiot or dumbass or retard, but you know what he is probably none of the above. In fact, Harold Camping is just a great capitalist businessman like Fred Phelps of Westboro Baptist Church, who protests funerals and then places lawsuits against those who take to physical violence against them.

Anyway, this Camping guy is just using the stupidity and mental deficiency of Christians across the globe for monetary gain. Here's a nice quote of affirmation:

"Camping offered no clues about Family Radio's finances Monday, saying he could not estimate how much had been spent in advertising his prediction nor how much money the nonprofit had taken in as a result. In 2009, the nonprofit reported in IRS filings that it received $18.3 million in donations, and had assets of more than $104 million, including $34 million in stocks or other publicly traded securities."

Let me translate, this guy claims that the end of the world is coming and that they need to get the word out. Ignorant followers believe it and the money rolls in. Millions of dollars roll in, a few million roll into the pockets of Camping's family and a few million roll back out in the form of advertising the promised land. 

The fact that people actually believed in this apocalypse, the fact that people gave away everything, the fact that people tried to kill themselves or others, shows the unintelligence of so many Christians in our nation. I am afraid to have children that will grow up around people that are soooo oh soooo stupid. It's scary, such insanity is absolutely frightening.
