FAITH HAS NO LEGS

THERE  IS  NO  HELL
2018 update

  Pulpit pounding, neo-conservative republican kooks of 2018 have the audacity to say that >>>Jefferson, Washington, Thomas Paine, Sam and John Adams, Paul Revere and the jovial Ben Franklin,  would all be in the Tea Party carrying misspelled signs at demonstrations demanding less government.  But I wonder, would these revolutionary heroes, the actual greatest generation, agree with this ridiculous Republican revisionist history? A deception that insists that this is a Christian country and god needs to be in charge. In other words, those who "speak" for god are in charge.

Let me tell you something seriously,   Bill O'Reilly and Glenn Beck and Anne Coulter and Newt Romney and all the other right wing   bandwagoneers;   according to the definition of Christianity that you pander  to, the revolutionary founding fathers are actually in Hell burning and choking and smoking, their skin peeling off in layers as god tortures them for having doubts about him. Writhing from various tortures for not believing the priests, preachers, and pastors and the fake truths they convey. 

Don't worry kid, I’m not going to hell and neither are you.

“So this is Hell,” you say as you look around after you die.  "Hey, there’s Buddha being waterboarded and Einstein is over there getting electrocuted," as angels gathered around to laugh.

“The smoke of their torment will rise to the heavens,” god snorts, “tough love I guess,” he said putting out another cigar…….on John Lennon. You see I am of a similar opinion that the Gnostics held back around 100 to 200 A.D. They couldn't figure out why Christians were dragging the Old Testament around.

Jesus only reluctantly pays lip service to the Old Testament god if you notice in the New Testament and much less in the Gnostic Gospels. The post-Jesus, Paulines ruled the day with their misogynistic obfuscations, and eventually their forebears were the ones that got Constantine to encode their nonsense in 325 A.D, creating the political party known as Christianity.

The chapter called Revelation in the New Testament is a real puzzler, kind of a throwback to Old Testament violence; let's take a look at that.

From the Bible, referring to the Apocalypse or Armageddon, Revelation verses 14:9-12 say that accepting the mark of the Beast is a one way ticket to an eternal barbeque where you will be basted with God’s special angry sauce and you’ll be……..well, here, “Anyone worshiping the beast from the sea or his statue and accepting the mark on the forehead or hand, must drink the wine of the anger of God: it is poured out undiluted into God’s cup of wrath. And they will be tormented with fire and burning sulphur in the presence of the Holy Angels and the lamb. The smoke of their torture rises forever and ever, and they have no relief day or night, for they worshipped the beast and his statue, and have been tattooed with the code.”

               Go dude! Bring out those boiling lobster pots of revenge. Now there is a religion for you! Disagree with us and you will be tormented forever with unimaginable tortures by our god personally: forever and forever. I don’t think so! 
        Let’s hope that the Old Testament God got a vacation and maybe some medication. An anger management class probably would have helped.

            This is the god I want to embrace my American freedom of speech and freedom of association, not to mention my pursuit of happiness? This is the god we praise and toast and thank and give credit to? Despite the lack of any facts he gets credit for creating the whole universe too? Wow, what a guy. How do we know this to be true, it just is you say---I got to have faith. 

         Liberty was the Vanguard of the                          Revolution, not the Bible.

                     In an essay from Time Magazine, Barbara Ehrenreich explains the reason for the separation of Church and State.

 "The government that the Founding Fathers designed could levy taxes and raise an army, but it could not do these or any other things in the name of a higher power. By stripping government of supernatural authority, the Founding Fathers created a zone of freedom around each individual human conscience. They demystified government and reduced it to something within reach of human comprehension, protest and change” italics mine.

Proverbs 5:9-11, “Give your honor to others and your years to the merciless. Let strangers take the fill of your strength and your labors go to the house of an alien; and at the end of your life you groan when your flesh and body are consumed and you say ‘how I hated discipline.”  What this verse says to me is that if you put your hopes in the unknown(faith), you will regret it.

But verse 6 continues with the solution to our woes, stating how the meek will someday overcome the evil lying Republicans and the era of greed, 1981 to 2011. Verse 6:12-15 states, "A wicked man goes about with crooked speech (Eric Cantor), winks with his eyes, (Sarah Palin) scrapes with his feet(Huckabee) points with his finger (Nit Romney) and with perverted heart devises evil, (Newt G and Paul Ryan),continually sowing discord: (Pat Robertson):therefore calamity will come upon him suddenly; in a moment he will be broken beyond healing.”

Don’t worry all you cowering fearful children, there is no hell.
IGNORE THOSE SCARY SIGNS IN FRONT OF THE CHURCH.
Even  POPE FRANCIS SAYS that SATAN IS ONLY AN ARCHETYPE FOR THE soul that is separated from god AND NOT AN ACTUAL BEING. C'MON Y'ALL, THERE IS NO HELL and heaven begins right here on earth.
