Craziness of Christianity 5

  PART FIVE  Welcome back to this series of “Crazy Christianity”, so far we have seen the history of Christianity and how it has been modified by its hierarchy, which even in large strokes, is very complicated and convoluted. This Story is full of inherent manipulations, and human corruption always moving away from Jesus's original intentions. While they never focus on the essence of Jesus’s doctrine, as we saw in the Apostles Creed, they continue rolling out commandments as they see it convenient for them and the organization as a whole. We could easily expect this from a “hair tonic” salesman, and it is also very typical of any human corporation, it should not be expected of ANY institution truly guided by ANY DIVINE BEING. Christian Leaders who claim adherence to the Bible, as the “word of God”, because of “faith” and “tradition”, can usually be seen only adhering literally to certain convenient passages, while ignoring others.  Their argument for keeping and using the...

La Locura del Cristiano

 ¿Por qué los cristianos están tan locos? Hola a todos mis amigos, y a todo el público en general que ve este programa en su televisor. Hoy pensé que hablar sobre por qué el cristianismo es tan loco y por qué es uno de los principales factores de la locura en la que vivimos, sería un tema apropiado a abordar. Esta es la primera parte de varias sesiones para responder la siguiente pregunta. ¿Por qué nosotros, como sociedad, pensamos de manera tan ilógica?  Para abordar esa pregunta, consideremos primero por qué temas como LGBTQIA, el aborto y las minorías (inmigrantes) son temas tan controvertidos en este momento. Estos deberían ser algunos de los elementos más claramente definidos a estas alturas, pero parece que no lo son. Todos ellos se basan en las libertades y la dignidad de la persona. Sin embargo, estos derechos parecen aplicarse al azar sólo a algunos y negarse a otros. En todos los casos, la causa fundamental de estos argumentos parece ser la Religión Organizada, espec...

Craziness of Christianity 4

   Hello and welcome back to “Crazy Christianity”, where we are looking for the root cause, as to why Christians are so comfortable promoting ideas that are totally contrary to logic, and reason.  We have so far seen that beliefs and traditions were written many thousands of years ago and they seldom followed Jesus’s central theme POVERTY, LOVE, and EMPATHY, rather, there was an emphasis in creating a seemingly new framework of mythology, that would be same but different, and easy to market to the poor and ignorant.  We have seen evidence in history that these traditions and beliefs in Christianity have not been based on true and honest interpretations of what they believe that Jesus said. Rather much of it has been based on what the Hierarchy of the churches thought was necessary for the Christian organization to survive at the time, and they called it,“tradition”. The evidence in history is clear, the abuse and Injustice sown through the ages in history, leaves no ...

Crazines of Christianity 3

  Hello and welcome back to part three of CRAZY CHRISTIANITY! We have already seen the beginnings of Christian faith and tradition, and how since the very beginning, the men who were supposed to promote Christianity, gave up the essence of Jesus's teachings to keep protection from the emperor. Nevertheless, the Hierarchy of the newly formed church kept on claiming it was JESUS's CHURCH. Crazy no?  Well, it gets even crazier, Starting in the year 325, until around the 1800s, Christianity had a strong influence in all kingdoms and governments at the time. Christianity was actually spread throughout the world because it was “Constantine Baby” it was Emperor Constantine’s road to power. You would imagine that since they were following Jesus it would have been a very just pure and ideal world, no? Well, history shows us that giving Christianity and the bible, political power does not make for a great, nor even a fair environment. Christians were in Power for 600 years and did a pre...

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...
