He would get us drunk. He called it bug juice. Then he would start taking off his clothesKay Ebelinghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13753284586265566961noreply@blogger.comBlogger1125tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7888733585496779286.post-41308983488601733032009-02-08T22:59:00.000-08:002009-02-08T22:59:00.000-08:00The Catholic hierarchy,from the pope,all the way d...The Catholic hierarchy,from the pope,all the way down to many priests, obviously doesn't believe in God, which is fine but in their case it's outright fraud.<BR/><BR/>The bishops for the most part are all over 60. But do any of them change their ways as they close in on the one event no one escapes from?<BR/><BR/>No. No death bed confessions, no attempt to make things right, no fear of eternal justice.<BR/><BR/>Most hard core criminals who believe in God, try to gain some favor if they know they are approaching death. More than a few crimes have been solved this way.<BR/><BR/>Why don't priests do this? <BR/><BR/>I have thought for some time that Jesus Christ, at least the biblical version, is probably an invention of the RCC. Maybe I'm wrong. <BR/><BR/>But if JC did exist, I very seriously doubt that JC ever mentioned hell, because I don't believe it exists. <BR/><BR/>Think of it. I love you. Now love me back or I will burn you forever, you will suffer the most horrible torture you can possibly imagine for eternity.<BR/><BR/>A kind loving God would not do that. No way.<BR/><BR/>If JC was the Son for God, then He probably taught something like God loves and accepts us all as we are, but that to grow closer to God we must strive to do better. And while I am certain that we are going to be held accountable for our lives, an eternal flame where one never dies is a bit of overkill.<BR/><BR/>But that doesn't make people fear for their eternal souls, and it doesn't give the church any power.<BR/><BR/>It does keep people hopeless about improving many times and it gives those who claim to practically hold the keys to Heaven and Hell by way of forgiving sins a great deal of power.<BR/><BR/>Ever wonder why the RCC hierarchy hates protestants? Could it be that they copied the RCC to a degree, and thereby cut in on their territory and profits?<BR/><BR/>Remember who the Pope says is in possession of the "true faith".<BR/><BR/>This would also explain a bit of the secrecy surrounding the RCC and the Vatican. Why it's OK to lie to protect the holy mother of money. You lie to keep the cash coming in, and we will always take care of you.<BR/><BR/>I believe in a God that loves us and wants us to love each other. This bit about hell and many other things in the bible that we are taught to believe from the day we can walk...or else, is where these evil pedophiles derive their power.<BR/><BR/>The only basis for any authority the clergy has, be it priest or evangelical, is the bible.<BR/><BR/>If you ever question them, they instantly pull their sword, the Bible. They know that many people, no matter how they live, believe that the Bible is God's book, and they will not argue.<BR/><BR/>I implore people to open their minds. Dare to think of God outside the box. God made you to be brave, to think, not to cower before Him, not to accept everything some funny dressing men who rape people tell you to believe.<BR/><BR/>Is God so small and powerless that He needs men like this to represent Him? <BR/><BR/>Does God really need a book? And even if He did, why would let men write it? Would God tolerate His book being filled with mistakes?<BR/><BR/>God supposedly wrote the ten commandments Himself. Well, then why not the whole book? Too big of a job?!<BR/><BR/>Do you really think that God would condemn you for revolting against such nonsense?<BR/><BR/>What are you made out of anyway? What did God create when they made you?<BR/><BR/>Stand up, be bold, speak no lies, treat other with care and compassion. And don't tolerate evil. By evil, I don't mean pissing on the sidewalk. I mean harm.<BR/><BR/>Would you tolerate evil if you had to in order to save your soul?<BR/><BR/>If you said yes, I think God would be pretty disappointed.<BR/><BR/>Inside of you there is a little bit of God. It's all you need.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
