Snakes in Sheep's Feathers

*
"The most detestable wickedness, the most horrid cruelties, and the greatest miseries that have afflicted the human race have had their origin in this thing called revelation, or revealed religion. It has been the most dishonorable belief against the character of the Divinity, the most destructive to morality and the peace and happiness of man, that ever was propagated since man began to exist."(Thomas Paine, The Age of Reason, 1794-1795.From Gorton Carruth and Eugene Ehrlich, eds., The Harper Book of American Quotations, New York: Harper & Row, 1988, p. 494.)
*
"The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want.
*

He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters. He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake. Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me;thy rod and thy staff they comfort me. Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over. Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the LORD for ever." (Psalms 23)

*

Members of the Jury:

* For those of you unfamiliar with the The Holy Bible and the The Holy Quran there are many beautiful and soulful expressions written. The human spirit was as beautiful then as it is now. I'm not throwing the baby out with the bathwater. I'm throwing the bathtub out with the bathwater. I'm throwing out the maker of the bathtub.

*

The publishing industry in David's era was a bit different then we enjoy. David didn't actually sit in the evening with the Wall Street Journal and later read his Bible as one of his concubines brought him his hot cocoa and slippers. Matter a fact David didn't know a thing what was said in the Bible. Bless his heart didn't know he would be a loved author in the Bible.

*

In fact - Jesus never read The Bible - which is highly fascinating because he has so much to say in it. The new and revised additions have all his sayings underlined in red. Give the metaphysical community a little credit were the people who were writing this stuff actually channeling? Equally fascinating is everything he did say was written a few hundred or so years after he merrily made his way back home to daddy. I'm not doubting the disciples were excellent note keepers and recorded his speeches and kept the hi-8 camcorders running.

*Of course God knows everything before nothing was anything.

*Thank-fully

*or we wouldn't know how to be saved and would have no chance of getting to the pearly gates. We would be like our forefathers spiritually stuck in the dark-ages. Human as a evolutionary global consciousness unit is a rather curious lot and thank-fully by nature- eternal optimists .

*Scared as hell - guilty as hell - ignorant as hell.

when in fact there is absolutely nothing to be frightened of -

nothing to be guilty of and the truth is:

The Truth Shall Set You Free.

*"We should begin by setting conscience free. When all men of all religions ... shall enjoy equal liberty, property, and an equal chance for honors and power ... we may expect that improvements will be made in the human character and the state of society." (John Adams, letter to Dr. Price, as quoted by Albert Menendez and Edd Doerr, compilers, The Great Quotations on Religious Liberty, Long Beach, CA: Centerline Press, 1991, p. 1.)

*Ladies and Gentleman:

What is a bit of an oddity though - is how God is having to constantly update his formulas for salvation to keep up with the polls. How does that go? Omnipotent - Omnipresent - Omni-amnesia where are my notes? I AM THAT I AM certainly changes his name a lot but that could be a childhood insecurity thing.

*My point is God states he is everywhere - knows everything at all times - past - present and future. A real psychic where you can get your monies worth. This is just my point - God cannot plead - not guilty. How? He completely knows what he's doing when he's doing it, how its getting done - what you are doing, what you're thinking. God is personally caring for you and if you doubt it go to your priest and ask him just how you are faring. (don't forget your offering) Now if you have questions directly for God he'll answer them with what he tells you to do, so ask all you want but don't open your mouth.

*Amen.

*All the Answers are in Gods Holy Word

*Read it!

*"All national institutions of churches, whether Jewish, Christian or Turkish [Muslim], appear to me no other than human inventions, set up to terrify and enslave mankind, and monopolize power and profit. I do not mean by this declaration to condemn those who believe otherwise; they have the same right to their belief as I have to mine. But it is necessary to the happiness of man that he be mentally faithful to himself. Infidelity does not consist in believing, or in disbelieving; it consists in professing to believe what he does not believe. It is impossible to calculate the moral mischief, if I may so express it that mental lying has produced in society. When a man has so far corrupted and prostituted the chastity of his mind as to subscribe his professional belief to things he does not believe, he has prepared himself for the commission of every other crime. He takes up the profession of a priest for the sake of gain, and in order to qualify himself for that trade he begins with a perjury. Can we conceive anything more destructive to morality than this?" (Thomas Paine, The Age of Reason, 1794-1795. From Paul Blanshard, ed., Classics of Free Thought, Buffalo, New York: Prometheus Books, 1977, pp. 134-135.)

*

The Catholic Church is considering to letting women be Bishops. That's a big stretch - this could just be rumor though - but after 2 thousand years - The polls show the all male club routine is getting a bit testy. Good Lord - what am I thinking? - obviously women can't get to heaven - for Heaven sake - THEY can't even speak in church - I recommend the Catholic church reconsider their blasphemous policy.

* "Let your women keep silence in the churches: or it is not permitted unto them to speak; but they are commanded to be under obedience, as also saith the law. And if they will learn anything, let them ask their husbands at home: for it is a shame for women to speak in the church." (The Holy Bible, Corinthians1ans)

*

The religious persecution of the ages has been done under what was claimed to be the command of God. (Susan B. Anthony from Rufus K Noyes, Views of Religion, quoted from James A Haught, ed., 2000 Years of Disbelief)

*"Heavenly Father" -- take to thee The supreme iniquity

Fashioned by thy candid Hand

In a moment contraband --

Though to trust us seem to us

More respectful --

"We are Dust" --

We apologize to thee

For thine own Duplicity"

(Emily Dickinson in an indiscreet moment, He made us wicked, but we must sue Him for pardon, quoted from Gary Sloan, "Emily Dickinson: Pagan Sphinx," Positive Atheism (June, 2001)

*God burned Joan of Arc at the stake. I guess - the little firebrand was certainly opinionated! and then God changed his mind and now just recently christened her a saint. I bet that just made her day. I don't know what the deal was, I can see her now in heaven - whoopee! She has obviously spent a long time in hell. God might not have been at that flesh burning, probably busy feeding the poor and caring for the sick. Highly unlikely though as Joanie girl wasn't exactly a big fan. But what about the 3 Os - omni - omni - omni? Hey its all straightened up now. Bet Joanie loves this award after the fire deal.

*

Do you know the Catholic Church has the records - millions of them - of the Jews that were killed in the holocaust - sitting right there in the Vatican? All this time. Maybe Gods putting on a couple extra lbs carrying all this useless stuff around? Maybe needs more computer space.

* Yes Members of the Jury:

* If you lost a friend or loved one or there are a few limbs missing on your family tree - you can go on-line and for a few bucks order the disk and what's more, God is considering if he hasn't all already, making an apology, for not saying a word about the extermination of millions Jews.

*

Hitler met with God ( through the Pope of course) and the tenor of the meeting was we both have the same motive - just taking a different approach. All is fair in love and war - right? I can hear God now" Gee Adolf quit hanging the Jews up with all the piano wire we sure miss our sing along "When the saints come marching in." The Holocaust didn't happen in a vacuum.

*

A lot of people, Catholic and otherwise were anguishing for God (through the Pope of course) to denounce this atrocity and Gods house (The Vatican) to take a moral stand. Besides where was God? Aren't the Jews his chosen people - I keep getting confused. Hitler having tea with God -I I wouldn't trust either one of them with your pet rock.

*I'm only presenting the facts Ladies and Gentleman

not trying to improve my spear-catching techniques.

Speaking - of facts - today. Pick up a modern Bible and turn to ( Isaiah 45:7) God is now only creating the "blessings and the foe" This has been such a struggle for me about God creating Evil.

*

In today's advanced society - with all the communications tools, the translators directly in touch with the Holy of Holies are experts in their field and are staying very well informed. God appears a little more moderate - you know so the kids will worship him. Got to have the kids giving their souls up - God has got to keep his Onward Christian Soldier army Strong. Keep that lean mean killing machine clean.

*

Everything is all just parables in the Old Testament - people were so barbaric then. True - God had just created them.

*

"All your Western theologies, the whole mythology of them, are based on the concept of God as a senile delinquent." (Tennessee Williamms The Night of the Iguana, 1961, quoted from James A Haught, ed., 2000 Years of Disbelief)

*

"The son of God is the same as the son of man; the son of man is the same as the son of God. God, the father, is the same as Christ, the son; Christ, the son, is the same as God, the father. This language may appear confused to unbelievers, but Christians will readily understand it." (Voltaire, quoted from John E Remsberg, The Christ)

*

Oh and lest I forget my good friend and Comrade, Jesus came merrily down here so God can be good now. For God to stay elected he best change his personal relations strategy. What's a God of love doing going around with all this baggage and a closet full of skeletons? Someone tell him to get better at the Love thing - clue him in - that a mother and child in Ethiopia is as one and equal to the expression of life as the Blue Blood Royalty birthed by the British Crown.

Ladies and Gentlemen I know God is busy but perhaps somebody should be bakin his behind. For one who is all blurry eyed over the poor, depressed and the sick. After all God knows every little wide-eyed, mal-nourished, swollen belly child in Bangladesh-

that's the problem.

*Why am I having trouble connecting the dots?

* I GOT IT !!

* Have the Lamb of Peace puppet for the God of War.

*Make your minions Lie - Lie - Lie - in the name of truth -

and death and eternal life -

of course.

* The Tyrant - that's why he's tagging around on Jesus Christ' shirtsleeves.

*Ladies and Gentlemen of the Jury:

*

Jesus Christ is still dying for the sins of God. This was the only living way human Beings could be saved. This is a serious case of Divine Intervention. During the trial next time you talk to Jesus check your gut - see if this feels right. It might be a little scary at first.

*

You can't worship both of them at the same time. Good and evil - Good and Evil - eenie meenie minee moe. That would have been tough for the Bush administration to follow in Jesus' Footsteps when the Twin Towers fell. God said an Eye for an Eye - Better Go there - Jesus said to turn the other cheek - Nope don't want that. God says go for Vengeance - Jesus says forgive your enemies Wow!!! This is wonderful - I don't know why the Christian Coalition is all stuffy. Reading this stuff - they have it both ways.

*

* Evil can do good - Good cannot do evil - Good has always been evils best asset. Let's put it this way - Evil is the original worm hole it swallows but it does not spit .

* Jesus quantum leaped good without drawing down evil. God had this place a disastrous wreck - he is so high and mighty then God damn - fix it - He created it for Christ sake let him fix it. Jesus Christ came down and intervened between God and Human. If Jesus was President of the United States of America. There would have been no war in Iraq. There were a million ways to go about peace as there were a million ways to go about war. It just depends on whose frequency one is aligned with Jesus or The Lord God of Hosts.

*ONE CANNOT HAVE IT BOTH WAYS

*The 9/11 Crisis is solved either diplomatically through Jesus Christ's example of peace or solved savagely through The Lord God of Hosts example of War. You cannot pray to God and pray to Christ at the same time. They are not on the same team. Christ led by examples of peace and compassion. God dominates by war and cruelty - its like saying Saddam Hussein and Gandhi are twins They both have the humans' spiritual growth in their best interest. Just different methods Saddam uses torture chambers - Gandhi organizes a movement of millions that never raise a sword.

*

If we were to live by Gods word we would be so far in the dark ages - We would never as a human family have made it to here. We are trying as a global connected consciousness to get out of the Dark Ages - If your looking to God

*

You are looking in all the wrong places.

*Enough for now of my Friend and Spiritual Comrade Jesus. I had to get this off my chest. I am here to Convict God. God has a long documented history of premediated evil. God creates evil, God slaughters innocents on a whim we have not even grazed the surface. Hitler was a Boy Scout. The last person you want to see in your neighborhood is Allah or God.

"Make war on them until idolatry is no more and Allah's religion reigns supreme" (The Holy Quran 8:39)

*

"And he brought forth the people that were therein, and put them under saws, and under harrows of iron,and under axes of iron, and made them pass through the brick-kiln: and thus did he unto all the cities of the children of Ammon.So David and all the people returned unto Jerusalem." (The Holy Bible, 2Samuel12:31)

Allah will humble the unbelievers. Allah and His apostle are free from obligations to idol-worshipers. Proclaim a woeful punishment to the unbelievers. - (The Holy Quran 9:2-3)

*"Now go and smite Amalek, and utterly destroy all that they have, and spare them not; but slay both man and woman, infant and suckling, ox and sheep, camel and ass." (The Holy Bible,1Samuel 15:3)

*"And they utterly destroyed all that was in the city, both man and woman, young and old, and ox, and sheep, and ass, with the edge of the sword." (The Holy Bible, Joshua 6:21 )

Slay them wherever ye find them and drive them out of the places whence they drove you out, for persecution is worse than slaughter. - (The Holy Quran 2:91)

*

"For the LORD thy God is a consuming fire, even a jealous God." (The Holy Bible, Deuteronomy 4:24)

*For Christ sake take your Jealousy and your War some place else. Get the hell out of here - Dominate nature? We have environmental laws to protect Nature from God. Stone your wayward sons - spare the rod - spoil the child? We have child abuse laws to protect our children from God. Slaughter all the prisoners at war We have the Geneva Convention to protect our enemies from God.

*This is a model in America for tax privelidges! 3,000 American soldiers dead - The Twin Towers a ghost - The horror thats happening today in Iraq. Who can argue with the Jefferson/Paine Religious Terror Taxation Act?

*If you want to call yourself a Christian - then for Christ's sake be a Christian. One cannot worship Christ and God at the same time. Excuse me - a sparrow just fell out of my front yard tree. God keeps his eye on the sparrow? yea.. right.. through the sights of a pellet gun!

*

Fear God - God is a Coward - Saddam Hussein was a Coward -

*

Adolf Hitler was a Coward .

*

Thou shalt not kill - thou shall not steal - thou shalt not covet thy neighbors wife!

*

God is the ultimate example of Do what I say Not as I Do!!

* Connect the Dots.

* Moses talked God out of killing his own people and God repented. You think he cares about you and I? He certainly doesn't care about my clients - the descendants from The Land of Nod.

*God makes a mess than creates a flood -

*He was in a rage -sulking Gods people had bowed down and worshipped another graven image. That's right an image from the grave. Man was created in Gods image and you can bet your ass he is a graven image. God destroyed city after city in the name of what? Animals were sacrificed by the thousands and burned alive in the temples day and night. These were Gods orders.

*

Why the hell does one have to worship Satan?

*God Needs to Kill.

*God Has to Kill -

* Death is what keeps God -

*Alive

* "They shall be burnt with hunger, and devoured with burning heat, and with bitter destruction: I will also send the teeth of beasts upon them, with the poison of serpents of the dust. The sword without, and terror within, shall destroy both the young man and the virgin, the suckling also with the man of gray hairs." (Deuteronomy 32:24 - 25)

* God who is Satan is Satan who is God who preys on the descendants of Nod who pray of their souls to God - who pray to the heavens of hell for there is no way to tell,

the theft of the soul to fell.

* This Ladies and Gentlemen is Mastery of

Herectics to Burn Flesh in..

*What! Have you no monks to teach, to dispute, to govern, to intrigue and to burn people who do not agree with them? (Voltaire: Candide, in Candide, quoted from Jim Herrick, "Écrasez l'Infâme," in Against the Faith)
