Long Time No Post

Well Ladies and Germs its been quite a while since I've done any serious posting so I might be a bit rusty... I have a few things to say to pagans about Jesus. He was not a good man. If he wasn't God incarnate he was a dreadful Liar, and anyone who says he didn't claim to be God hasn't read the Gospels. Secondly, I swear the next time I hear a nonbeliever call Him Jesus "Christ" I will them on their lnees, really. If they are willing to call him messiah and yet don't recognize his lordship they ought to get used to feeling like a foot stool, and I'm ready to assist. As far as, "If I were at the crucifixion I would have helped him off of the cross" goes, thats a lie straight from hell. First of all those who have been swept up in the modern atheists movements are just as much mindless followers as a mob of first century Jews, and anyone who calls for Hitchens or Dawkins would be even more likely to call for Barabas. Secondly, it is an arrogant lie to say that the modern atheist would be the one noble soul in the crowd when even His disciples deserted him. These are just a few thoughts I have concerning the critical thinkers of our time. Happy Easter. May a true knowledge of Christ gladden your heart.

Whoops!

Well that last post went over like a lead balloon... so here 'tis: ylou guys tell me what you want to hear, and I'll write about it.
Thanks

Enviromentalism

Heres another little tasty morsel...enjoy

Lets say however that you let the attack against religion go. The theories of Utilitarianism and Consequentialism cannot produce traditional morality. Really, it produces a morally so strange that, if it were truly applied, it would leave anyone pining for the evils of religion. Utilitarianism, the greatest happiness for the greatest number, is peculiarly impaired by environment. Rape is a serious sin and would not be used to prove a point if one were dealing with a morality that made sense, however it is important to demonstrate how heinous the morality of Utilitarianism can be. Imagine two thugs in an alley, who decide to rape a woman. Two thugs, one woman, this action justified by Utilitarianism inside the environment of the alley. Now extend the environment farther, and the two police officers who walk by the alley and are decidedly unhappy about the situation, now push morality into the woman’s favor. Two thugs, two policemen and the woman, two vs. three. Suddenly violent rape is wrong again. The environment can continue to extend outward until we reach humanity as a whole (which as has already pointed out tends towards sadism, favoring the rapist) but one way or another, environment hardly seems like a condition that should be applied to morality.

Ironic...

I strongly dislike it when people use their blogs to express their self-loathing and inadequacy and as a ploy to get others to tell them their special and that everything is just fine. So this is me not doing it.

lets just say I came close...

Sadomasochistic morality

Though you all might enjoy another chunk of thesis so here it is

It is the cry of the Atheist that religion is the bane of man’s existence. It “poisons everything,” it is an opiate for the masses, a podium for pig-headed fundamentalists to inflict emotional and physical pain on the bleating masses. Lets grant this overblown, but not uncommon, description of religion and see what it does to atheism. Whether you believe that the world is six thousand years old or fourteen billion, religion has existed as long as humans have. Concerning the choice to be religious of not Hitchens points out that, “For the greater part of human existence, it must always be stressed, this ‘option’ did not really exist.” This dread institution is inseparable linked to humanity. Yet (most formally propounded by Thomas Hobbes, and held onto by Atheist past and present) human activity and morality is based on pleasure and pain, “the greatest happiness for the greatest number is the foundation of morals and legislation.” (according to Jeremy Bentham and repeated by Richard Dawkins .) If this is indeed the case, and if religion is as omnipresent throughout human history, then we are a very sadomasochistic race indeed. Humans have held on to an institution, which is, according to the modern atheist, only good for inflicting pain or being tortured with. Yet the great majority of humanity has found happiness in the heinous belief in God. Surely therefore, the Utilitarianism or Consequentialism of Bentham and Dawkins can’t be the foundation of moral. For the greater part of human history men have been esteeming as good and true a monster which can only lead to guilt and pain. Therefore the greatest happiness for the greatest number is found in this peculiar sadomasochism, making religion a good thing, or there is something genuinely wrong with religion, making Consequentialism and Utilitarianism an incomplete description of morality (keep in mind that these options are only necessary if you assume the bloated accusations listed against religion).
