Christian
Missions – the Shocking Facts
RELIGION EXALTS BELIEF OVER PERSONS
On religious peoples’ own
admission, faith is dangerous and wavering.
It is hard to keep it up. Doubt
or disbelief are more or less inevitable.
Even the very saints themselves battled against doubt and
uncertainty. The Church does not care if
you doubt as long as it is not wilful and as long as you fight it like a
cancer. Such a fight would betray that a
person’s supreme concern is to obey their religion and not to do what is right
or suspected to be right. That will make
them harmful to others. It is
consciously cruel for a doubting priest to tell a married woman to kill herself
by avoiding birth-control.
Religion expects the
doubters to remain devoted to it which is evil for it is maliciously to support
what you do not trust. It puts dangerous
attitudes in you.
The Church tirelessly
warns that the faith can be lost or weakened frightfully easily. When that faith leads to death and suffering
even if it does not command it, the believer will be corrupted. They are told by their religion to become
fanatical at least in attitude.
Religion declares that any resultant evil deeds happen in
spite of the faith and not because of it.
But when the faith weakens so does belief in the moral code it has. The weakening is as inevitable so religion
cannot clear itself so easily. If a
person’s faith is weak or gone and he believes that murder is bad for God says
so then in that state his belief that stops him from killing will go or at
least be too feeble to deter him from murder.
Obviously, his religion is as bad as he is if he kills or wants to
kill. Religion expects its victims to
take faith seriously with regard to intellectual assent and often says that as
long as you die repentant you will be okay no matter what kind of life you have
led. When the faith is unprovable anyway
religion is as good as asking for people not to take it seriously by living a
good life for why should anybody be enslaved to guesses or opinions?
Anything religion
condemns is condemned because God says so.
If reason were the guide then they would not have so many silly
rules. If reason and God’s word agree
the doctrine is not believed because reason says it but because God does.
The history of the
Catholic Church, the fact that it was part of my ancestors’ life, and the fact
that it gave me a sense of power and special feelings meant that I was often
willing to help and promote it despite doubts and disbelief. The result was a cold and devious person who
hated anybody who did not believe in the Church.
The mother of cruelty is fear. Faith incites fear for it demands rigorous
self-sacrifice which is fearful and there will be the fear of sin or of losing
the faith or divine retribution or worse, everlasting punishment. Fear is the driving force behind religion and
it is the reason religion tends to produce cruelty and delight in leading
others astray from reason and happiness where the cruelty is disguised with
encouraging smiles and “help” and worship and “good” example.
There is enough to make
us cruel without religion and it is not needed for all you need to be good and
happy is to reduce your needful desires to a minimum and detach yourself from
everything outside yourself. Be
easygoing. Religion is an unnecessary
evil and is to blame for every single evil carried out in its name whether it
sanctioned it or not for giving people something extra to hate each other over
is sanctioning evil.
A religion has to try and
convert others for it claims to be the truth.
If it is the truth and is revealed by a good being then it is best for
all that they join it. If there is a God
who has given a gospel then all people should do what he wants. He has a right to our service and
submission. Those who don’t make
converts for him are against him. They
are unjust. It must be a sin to withhold
spiritual truth from anyone unless there is really nothing that can be done.
Religion has to go about
bringing in a new victim as fast as possible for delay is sinful and may be
harmful. It is a sin to keep a person
from the truth without need even for a moment.
As long as there is delay, you are promoting evil and offending God.
Christianity received its
mandate to turn the world to Christ from Christ himself (Mark 16:15).
Christianity says that
causing another’s unbelief by not converting them is as bad and sinful as
ceasing to believe yourself. Each
religion must have the same opinion.
Each religion must have the same opinion. Even religions that preach indifferentism
have to believe in making converts for they counsel people against caring for
truth which is what we mean by indifferentism.
Lots of people have met
religious people who won’t leave you alone.
They continually nag at you and preach to you not caring if it all seems
to fall on shut ears.
You have to put your
religion before being liked for God comes first.
It is better to turn a
person against your religion by making them sick of you than for you to do this
on the thinking level. Then it is only a
feeling that they will not have all the time that is barring them from the
gospel and they understand why you irritate them deep down – you have to
promote what is right in your opinion.
The fact that religion does not usually annoy people proves that
religion is just a con.
Jesus continually got up
the noses of the Jewish leaders. He told
them everything they didn’t even want to hear in front of the people. He even told them that they were vipers and
children of the father of lies. They
would not have come to talk with him before the people for fear they would be
humiliated. Therefore Jesus must have
gone out of his way to meet them and annoy them. (God would not need his Son to behave like
that for God is all-powerful.) That is
what the gospels teach though it is certain that this is all fiction – the
Jewish leaders would not have been that easily had – so such behaviour is
obligatory on Christians who have to walk in the ways of their infamous Lord.
Jesus told Christians to
spread his teaching all over the world.
Yet he forbade doubt as sinful.
Obviously, when he commands us to believe and when he says faith is a
gift from God he would have to.
Christian missionaries seek to make those who hear them have doubts
about the religion they think is right.
All missionaries forbid doubt as an offence against God. The goal of the missionaries is to make their
hearers sin by causing them to doubt their own faith and betray it and their
own people.
A religion that preaches
salvation through sin cannot be honest or holy.
The victims cannot repent of the sin for that would entail wishing they
had never encountered the missionaries.
Instead of salvation, religion metes out spiritual illness and
damnation.
All people start off
their spiritual lives with a twisted version of their faith. They have to doubt this before they can
subscribe to the purified version. If
doubt is a sin then it is a sin to give them light for it is causing them to do
wrong.
Christian missionaries
often go into countries where they could die for their faith at the hands of
hostile regimes. When they smell danger
they should cease preaching but they wont.
This is recklessness though it pleases the Church. They want to be killed if they end up in
front of a firing squad. It is so
pointless when the Church does not make it obligatory to proclaim the so-called
good news in a land of wolves. Its like
attempted suicide.
Witchcraft and some other
religions are against going out to bring in converts. They accept whoever comes to them but they
will not spread their faith. They say
that no religion is right for everybody.
But theirs is so flexible and they can have members who are not
comfortable with magic as long as they believe in magic. If the members do not believe that their
religion is best then they should not be in it.
Their faith is evil. If they do
believe that it is the best then they should preach it. The excuse that one religion cannot suit
everybody is useless. Most religions
have room for people to make a place for themselves in it that they are
comfortable with. If you hold that your
religion is true then you should proclaim it.
Otherwise, you are trying to bury the truth – something that no person
with self-esteem or integrity would do.
When there is so much
deception about these issues we should not trust religion and let it have too
much power for it will compel people to come into it with it.
The pope and most
religions boast that they value the person more than anything else apart from
God. That is not true.
Faith is more important than
persons to them. To the Christian or the
Muslim, the person must be sacrificed on the altar of faith if need be – that
is, by their definition if need be. You
cannot believe in God and not put belief first.
Jesus told to love God
with all our strength and power (Matthew 22).
He told us to believe in God. He
wants us to love others and ourselves for God’s sake only. So, we are to love God alone in reality and
must use others to please God. Others
are put out of the heart just for a belief.
Belief counts not just more than persons here. It is the only thing that counts. Those who despise Jesus’ dogmatic image
should realise that it is his true image.
When God alone is the focus of morality it follows that the law has no
connection with morality if it leaves God out so Church and state should be
amalgamated so that the law can have real moral authority.
When Paul said that there
was faith and hope and charity that the greatest of these was charity he only
meant that you can’t have hope and faith without charity. Charity causes a person to honour God by
believing what God has said. This is not
true for you can trust in God and love him without believing in him.
If a believer and
non-believer are about to be shot and you can only save one then who do you
save?
The answer has to be the
former because he or she is the most likely to be an advantage to God. We would say that you should save the kindest
person for if anybody does not believe in Atheism that is our doing and we can
convert the person who rejects our philosophy.
Inform the believers that
when they are surer that they exist than that God exists they should not
exaggerate the value of faith. If they
persist in their piety then they show themselves up. Catholics priests will know from reading
Descartes – who said that the one thing you can be sure of is that you exist -
in the seminaries that it is wrong to give up their idols of faith.
When you see a
contradiction in religion they tell you that there is no contradiction for it
is a mystery how the two opposing teachings can be harmonised. This means that no matter how wrong a
religion is then you cannot see it.
Faith is exalted over reality and your mind and therefore your whole
self. Copout answers are put before all
things.
Timidity is caused by the
fear of what others think and do. The
person who hides their Christian faith is more worried about themselves than
about God. And they cannot worry about
protecting others because these have the same problem and should be told to get
braver instead of being encouraged to be weak.
It would be different if certain death would result but if they can hide
or run they should declare their faith.
It is the approval of others that counts the most and not their liking
you. They don’t like not liking
you. They may abuse you but inside they
admire you for your courage. The Church
says that it is always a mortal sin to keep silence when the faith is being
condemned (Apologia pro Vita Sua, Appendix, Part
8).
If we are to love God
alone then for us to hide our belief in God to please others conflicts with
this. Would God want you to love him by
hiding him?
When God is all-powerful
and in control, it could be his will that his people declare the faith no
matter what evil threatens for he is in charge and decrees that faith hope and charity,
the three “virtues” of religion, alone matter.
What you believe
influences what you do so should faith come first for you cannot be good
without it? Sometimes. And never if it is the blind faith of
religion. Faith is made for humanity and
not humanity for faith.
If faith is supreme then
it is easy to perceive how religion can tend towards the suppression of human
rights.
The Christian Church says
she has no right to baptise babies that will not be raised as Christians even
though baptism magically inclines them to believe in Christ. When you think for a minute you can see that
his rule is just a cruel plot to get conditioning them and getting their
mothers and fathers to be loyal to the Church and give her money and help her
condition the child. God could bring the
babies into contact with Christianity later on.
She should baptise just in case – even if it against the will of the
parents. Where is this confidence in God
that she says she has now? And if it is
true as liberals say that those who are sincerely wrong are in the true
religion for they want to be right then it doesn’t matter in which religion
they are raised. The rule shows that the
Church is perfectly willing to heap an indignity on an innocent baby for the
sake of power. All this implies that it
is perfectly right to baptise as many babies as possible so that by the magic
of this sacrament they may have a greater resistance to sin - with or without
the parent’s consent.
If baptism takes away
original sin as the Church says, and is a powerful protection against sin, then
it makes sense to baptise even those who will or may not ever become
Christians.
It is also right to
baptise adults against their will and it is possible to do it validly even
though the Church says that an adult who doesn’t want to be baptised cannot be
validly baptised under compulsion. If
they want to be right and if baptism should be received by all, then God has to
accept their wish as sufficient consent to baptism. (If he blesses the sincere with forgiveness
and salvation and mercy he forces the grace of the blood of Christ on the
Buddhist who normally would refuse to become a Christian or pray for
pardon.) Their refusal is invalid for
they don’t know that they should accept it and desire to be right with deity if
it exists.
If sin is insanity as the
Catholic Church teaches (page 303, Handbook of Christian Apologetics)
then the sinner is in the same position as a baby or a psychotic person. The Church gives these sacraments without
their consent because they don’t know what they are doing. The Church can force Church membership on
anybody.
The Church claims that
the baptised – even the babies of pagans who have been baptised without the
knowledge of their parents by sneaky Catholics – belong to her so she has a
right to make sure they are reared in her bosom. Pope Blessed Pius IX had a Jewish boy
kidnapped and reared him himself all because the child was baptised.
Baptism is forced on
babies anyway for they cannot choose it so it is the divine stamp of the
Catholic Church that God finds force acceptable in religion.
Though believing that
nobody can be forced to believe, a religion that believes in the power of God
to persuade people that his word is truth must agree with forcing people to hear
it so that the seeds that may produce faith can be planted. It can force people to take the first step
towards faith which is agreeing that the Church is true – this is not faith by
itself because faith is committing your mind and will to God in trust (page
384, Handbook of Christian Apologetics).
You need to believe that there is a goal of faith before you can make
your way to it. God said, “My word…shall
not return to Me void [without producing any effect, useless], but it shall
accomplish that which I please and purpose, and it shall prosper in the thing
for which I sent it” (Isaiah 55:11).
Force can convert if God gives grace to all to enable them to believe as
religions like Roman Catholicism say.
The Bible says that Christ gives light to every person (John 1:9). The Holy Spirit can convince the
unbeliever. He is omnipotent and can
make conversion likely.
People force people to
hear things all the time so they can’t disapprove of religionists forcing a
person to hear their gospel. Jesus forced
the Jews to listen to him when he hurled abuse and criticism at them in public.
Many refuse to listen
when religionists try to get them interested in their message. A rejection of what you do not understand is
invalid for you cannot really mean it. Religion
must have the right to ignore it and force unbelievers to listen for that
maximises their chance of accepting the gospel while not forcing is just
abandoning them.
If unbelievers resent the
pests it is their problem and they should be grateful so there is no sense in
arguing that coercing them to listen will deter them from the truth. They show what if the ambassadors of truth
are pests that truth is still truth.
Being held prisoner for the purpose of indoctrination will not cause a
person to be blinded against the dogmas by anger when it is done in love. They have to be told that they are angry
because they are uncomfortable and not because of God or you. The person who is emotionally harmed by it is
the cause of her or his own harm and so the forcers should not worry about
it. God heals and she or he will be
grateful in the end.
Religionists see that
force works on getting children to accept secular facts so they will succeed
far more if they do it with religion.
Good religionists would
capture sceptics, tie them up and then indoctrinate them taking care not to
brainwash them.
Idolatry is to worship an
image or that which is not the true God.
Nobody has ever worshipped
an idol just because it is a lump of wood or whatever. Nobody could do it either – the most you
could do is pretend. The idol is always
held to be an abode of the god or to have been transubstantiated into the god
like bread becoming the body of Christ in Catholicism. Or the idol can be considered to be a
substitute for the God. If I kiss my
daughter’s photo I am kissing her by proxy.
I am honouring her and not the snap.
You can’t mean to worship
a false god while knowing it is false so deliberate idolatry is not possible.
To adore an ignorant and
arrogant God would be idolatry if idolatry is possible for it is preferring him
to goodness.
God has decreed that
idolatry is a sin that one should be destroyed by getting stoned to death for (Deuteronomy
13). Idolatry must be sincere for you
cannot worship anything without sincerity.
To condemn idolatry as sin is to say that sincere error is sinful which
is absurd and belie the Bible-basher’s claim that they don’t believe in
unintentional sin. The Bible reminds
people that they don’t know it all and can commit unintentional doctrinal error
which shows how uncharitable it is being when it has such harsh things to say
about idolatry. When one sincere error
is immoral all sincere error is immoral.
Most idolaters believed
in a being that could be identified with God and were still censored and
rejected by God. Their honouring idols
was an expression of devotion to God. God
is saying that if you err about what he is like any attempt to worship him is
idolatry. So who does worship him? Only the doctrinally infallible are not
idolaters!
All sin is idolatry -
loving something better than God - yet religious idolaters are singled out by
the unfair Bible.
We know that the
anti-idolatry rules in the Bible are just products of its quarrelsome spirit
and gratuitous hatred. Jesus was an evil
man when he supported such rules for he said he believed in the Old Testament
which he knew very well for when he was at school he had to learn it and all
about it.
The whole Bible should be
banned for each book ratifies the others in the eyes and teaching of the church
so if one is accepted the rest will be with it.
Catholic and Protestant terrorists got their sectarian fanaticism from
it. They reason that when God recommends
hatred and the concealment of it behind smiles and sweet words he can’t
complain if they decided to go a bit further.
Religion must stop expecting countries to let it do what is illegal for
ordinary organisations to do.
Conclusion
The Christian doctrine of
the duty of all Christians to be missionaries and that God brings in converts
through the missionaries has loads of bigoted and disturbing implications.
