  • What Would Jesus NOT Do?

    [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zOfjkl-3SNE&NR=1]

    We always hear about the many amazing things that Jesus of Nazareth apparently did, but nobody ever asks about the things that Jesus supposedly COULD have done, being omnipotent, but either didn’t bother to do or didn’t think were all that important. You know, things like… reducing human misery and suffering… that kind of thing.

    It occurs to me that if indeed the miracles recorded in the bible were in fact true, and really did happen, then that only shows Yahweh/Jesus to be an even MORE malevolent and cruel being than we see in the old testament, and that’s saying something. If the miracles somehow prove that Jesus WAS in fact a god in human form, but all he could be bothered to do was turn water into wine and heal only a few hundred, or even a few thousand people with his magic saliva, then really – what is the use or good of such a god? Think of what a visiting, omnipotent deity COULD have done – but in this case, apparently, chose not to!!!!!

    And this is meant to be that god’s main advertisement of its existence! Walking on water in front of a few of his mates, for the benefit of billions and billions of people who, if they don’t believe in his divinity and surrender control of their souls to him, will be sent to burn in agony for eternity.

    People – DOES THIS RELIGION MAKE ANY SENSE AT ALL???

    Lyrics

    by STYVYN

    From the commencement of life
    We’re expected to pretend
    We are taught to believe
    Things we cannot comprehend

    We are told that somewhere up above
    A friend is guiding our lives with his love

    And the moment we die
    We will get our reward
    In eternity’s hand
    We will be with our lord

    But it’s not true
    It’s completely insane
    It’s all fantasy

    There is no imaginary friend, imaginary faith, imaginary hope, imaginary love

    Now as I look at the world
    And I see reality
    I am fully aware
    Of my own mortality

    Every moment is sacred to me
    Each day brings a chance to be who I want to be

    But I need time to unlearn
    All those things that are untrue
    My thoughts were not my own
    But part of the mass collective delusion

    Reason has shown me
    There’s no imaginary friend, imaginary faith, imaginary hope, imaginary love

    If there is no god in the sky
    Why should we care, why should we even try
    To be moral human beings
    The answer is reciprocity

    I have faith in the human race to be loving neighbors
    Without imaginary friends, imaginary faith, imaginary hope, imaginary love

    I have faith in the human race to find understanding, to be loving neighbors
    Without imaginary friends, imaginary faith, imaginary hope, imaginary love
