In the modern society of today, and not in the primitive mental sphere of most Christians, what can be most despicable and corrupt behavior than;

* Christian leaders using the fraudulently collected offerings and tithes, to gratify their obscene opulence.

*Bishops selling fetish materials as "supernatural gadgets", that can protect against normal painful experiences.

* prophets selling illusionary "divine healing", while they escape to the west for better medicare.

* Church leaders colluding with rogues to perpetuate corruption in Nigeria.

All the charades of the Christian groups, have never been this odious.

U r still not making sense.

So because people use science to make bombs,
We can as well conclude that science is bad and fake?

You see how your brain works?

One benefit is to be able to identify people who reason up side down like u.
People who claim they originated from fish.

That I am sure of.

I found this beautifully -Oh! my vocabulary fails me- written article that I would like to share. Being a journeying christian myself that recently denounced and renounced fundamentalism (It's in the 'holy book' therefore it is fact/true), increasing becoming appalled by pentecostalism and many evangelicals (Of course, if they knew better they would be different key word: knowledge Prov 4:7; 15:4) and the intellectual docility it appears to encourage in our society, I was struck by almost every paragraph of the article. While it is not enough to move me into atheism, or make me less of an adherent of orthodox spirituality but it challenges every reader to think especially as Africans.

Food for thought: How did an omniscient, omnipresent and loving God that created everyone equally 'forget' to include anything about slavery and genocide in his commandments? Perhaps he considered blacks as lesser humans or he was simply created in the minds of people who saw all the good in slavery and even genocide.

My advice to Bible and God defenders let God and the Bible defend themselves, it is not your duty. History tells of countless horrors perpetrated by God and 'Holy' book defenders. If you want to know about history of the world, read books on history; about man and animals and their sexuality read books on Biology; about money, read books on Finance; about life on earth...; anything other than spirituality that you look for in these 'holy' books would most likely turn you into a narcissist that would see nothing wrong or even good in misfortunes of other human beings that are non-adherents of your religion.

So far, it's a pointless post.

I'll read the article and reply later.

One benefit of Christianity is;
No Christ, No Eternal Life for you. John 3:16, 36. 1John 5:11-12.

Now you have confirmed my assertion that religious folks and schizophrenics share the same mental slant.

The only professionals that identifies psychos are Psychiatrist. Now that your baptism with the Holy Spirit has transformed you to Psychiatrist, your case is very familiar.

When it comes to logic, you're still marooned in Canaan of Judea.

Because no intelligent mind says bomb is inherently evil.

Just as a schizophrenic will defend his "sanity", since schizophrenia was first diagnosed over 2000 years ago.

Until a schizophrenic is cured, he never agrees that he's suffering from mental illness.

I agree I'm suffering 100% from it. Please help me.

TheEminentLaity:

you see what I'm talking about. You would rather see me ran over by monster truck than for me to share an opinion. Look inwards to the monster your religion has turned you into. On the contrary, I would love to read your thoughts and encourage the quest for factual knowledge.
