Jeez dude, that's a long post lol. I appreciate it alot man, but I don't fear death at all. I believe that god will end my existence. Heaven on earth is what I really want, but how the hell (hell, lol) can I do that?sounds like you are afraid of death and need assurances its going to be allright. (course with a freaky god like that, ya´d be jumping at jesus lol)
what if i told you, you are god, everything is god and you have nothing to worry about?
actually you can infer this from some of jesus´s "teachings" though personally i think the majority of "jesus´s" "teachings" are absolute major crap
"ok, there is this dude, he´s got 3 slaves, one slave made him alot of money, the rest didnt as much, ok class, raise your hand if you think you know who is the best slave?"
kinda cant help but think the bible was heavily edited to favor later rulers
doesnt really fit with "if you havent got love, you havent got anything" (all joy comes from love) and lines like that.
the line "i am the way" (and whatnot) could be understood as "become like me (good and forgiving and loving dude that plays with children and is nice to women(fantastic for the times) and everyone)
"heaven is all around you" could be understood as "heaven is here, if you want it"
all great teachings, but the bible is full of crap too and obviously a mix of many different texts, edited to fit the rulers view of things (the poor should be humble and happy with their lot (so they dont stick a hayfork up your ass when you are sleeping))
did you know that when people were not allowed to read the bible (indirectly , they werent allowed to learn latin)
the line "honor your father and mother" was actually "honor your pope, your priest, your king, your lord and your mother and father" ?
believe in god (if it helps you "ye are gods" remember? "you are the light of the world")
believe in angels, believe in the afterlife,
but why the fuck you gotta believe in the bible? ("if your kid misbehaves, take him out in the courtyard and stone him to death in front of all the village")
god of the old testament = "love me or burn! i give you free will! so you can love me or burn!" (love meaning serve me and sing hosannahs to me when i go to sleep)
god of the new testament? eh...depends on what part you read.
but about being gods, "what i have done, ye will do and more"
i kinda think jesus´s message was heavily misunderstood and later twisted too much.
or , it was simply just a mix from many sources, osiris, maybe teachings from buddha (lots of resemblance there)
plus others.
doesnt really matter, if i need jesus in the afterlife, im sure he´s bound to forgive me not worshipping him in life
after all he´s loving and forgiving and im a good man (i dont smack people till theyve smacked me at least once and arent stopping (so according to old jesus himself i ought to be good enough)
or am i ? have i become as a child? well, i play games on the puter
have i given up all my possessions? no, cant really do that in frigging iceland (really clever that jesus) without freezing to death in moments
but im perfectly comfortable with just a small house, computer and a nice bed
so im sure we can reach some sort of agreement (happy to skip having a house in heaven if its really nice there, othervise ill pick other lodgings, thank you very much, after all, my idea of heaven might not match his though im sure his is pretty allright
Why I believe in the bible? For idolizing Jesus pretty much, the same way people idolize their parents.
The old testament wasn't meant for us, those people were referred to as very evil people. They would rape children and women, steal from each other, and burn children alive for sacrafice to a false god; well god didn't like that very much so he laid the law down on them. The old testament law is fucked up because those people were fucked up....
In the new testament the only two things Jesus wanted you to live by is love god and your neighbors (in short).
I have my personal reason to follow my beliefs, not to sound like a dick, .
