Craziness of Christianity 2

  Hello and welcome back; to my channel, this is the second part of (Crazy Christianity) as I explained on the video before this one. The council of Nicea, the first catholic council was REQUESTED by the Roman Emperor Constantine to have the essential beliefs of Christianity written down and clarified for him. At that time Christians themselves had different perceptions of what Christianity was. This was also the time when the First Catholic church decided, not only what the essential beliefs were, but also which writings were going to be admitted to back up their beliefs, and which ones had to be eliminated. The bigest result of this council was THE APOSTOLES CREEED. Now, you might ask what does this have to do with the original statement, about Christianity? Well if we read History carefully; very little of this “apostles creed, was based on Jesus' central theme. Why did this happen? How did it happen?  Well, it was the EMPEROR who requested something in writing It was not ...

Crazy Christianity 1

  Why are Christians so Crazy Hello, to all my friends, and all the general public watching this program on your television. Today I thought that speaking on why Christianity is so Crazy, and why it is one of the main factors of the craziness we live in, would be an appropriate theme to touch upon. This is the first part of five to answer the following question.  Why DO we as a society think so illogical?  To tackle that question, Let's first consider why themes like LGBTQIA, Abortion, and Minorities (Immigrants) are such controversial themes right now. These should be some of the most clearly defined items by now, yet they seem not to be. All of these are based on the freedoms and dignity of a person. Yet these rights seem to be applied at random only to some and denied to others. In all cases, the root cause of these arguments seems to be Organized Religion, specifically Christianity in any of its different “flavors”.  Why would I focus on Christianity? This Religi...

Groundhog day and Religious Tradition

Image
Groundhog Day !!! What is “Groundhog Day”? Each February 2, on Groundhog Day, the members of the "Punxsutawney Groundhog Club" make the pilgrimage to Gobbler’s Knob – Phil’s official home. Who is Phil? Phil is the name of a groundhog. This Groundhog has a mission every year.  The aforementioned group waits for Phil every year, to leave his burrow and (legend has it) if he sees his shadow, six more weeks of winter are on the way. If he doesn’t, an early spring arrives.   On average, Phil’s prognostications have hit the mark just under 40% of the time since 2013, according to NOAA’s National Centers for Environmental Information. The question is, why do people still follow such inaccurate traditions? The simple answer is that people are complicated. Some people like the “assurance” claiming “Well 40% is better than nothing, without taking into account that a 60% failure rate is just that, FAILURE !! It doesn't work! Yet somehow, “tradition” seems more important than validit...

Pro-Life or Pro-Choice

 Before we begin this conversation, we have to be open to the facts. The argument of “pro-life” and “pro-choice” is based on religious beliefs. Many religious people are trying to rationalize teh argument as if nature gave some clear indication either way. Nature does not care, nature has eliminated 98% of the species on this planet, and we might be next. Having said that, No one has a red phone that connects directly to God.  I have been going through my life living as a Catholic trying to follow Christian principles. None of which are based on DEMANDING that others live the way I believe. I have read the gospels from beginning to end. I also read the Old Testament but not as diligently as I have read the Gospels. Lately one of the arguments that has divided Christians so much is the question of whether abortion is or is not a sin. I have seen in the Old Testament a paragraph which I shall put here as a point to ponder. — Numbers 5:19–24 “And the priest shall cause her to swe...

Start of Election year

Well, my friends we have another election cycle coming at us this year. we need to figure out who is going to be running the country for the next 4 years. We have President Biden and we have Trump trying to challenge him.  To make a proper decision we need to weigh some factors. we need to go under the skin of these two people and find out what are their intentions for the next 4 years.  Now when it comes to Joe Biden we know what he's done He has committed some failures himself. He promised to eliminate student loans, but he has not done that for the majority of the students.  He's done partially that for some students but not the majority.  He promised to implement a more strict electric vehicle policy, but he has not done that.  What he has done is to stave off inflation caused by Trump and his tax breaks.  He is working with the result of BOTTLENECKING the border, which started during the COVID-19 pandemic. Bidden is not the sharpest tool in teh shed, b...
