They show who put what in Jesus' mouth and how Christianity has been manipulated. The first which is part of the second speaks to my Gnostic Christian label and the second shows my view of religions overall and the Noble Lie that I think we and our governments should rescind. The third clip speaks to the reason that religions were invented in the first place as it shows why social control was required for city states that had to deal with the reality of finite resources. I see these city states as led by a timocratic king who through the religion that he would have created, also realized that there had to be a tyrannical part to his benevolent duty and created a religion to be just that. Please see next post for link. I see the King/God as having to have the morals shown in the Haigt clip. See nexr post for links. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
French Patriot Posted November 19, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 19, 2012 http://blog.ted.com/2008/09/17/the_real_differ/ He would have to create his religion as expressed through his high priest/tyrant who would live by the first commandment of God, place no one above me as the enforcer of his King/God's rules and laws while still obeying his King. The larger Roman system would later assume the same system through the Noble Lie. First through the Flavian and later through Constantine. http://www.simchajtv.com/movie-secrets-of-christianity-selling-christianity/ Regards DL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cybercoma Posted November 19, 2012 Report Share Posted November 19, 2012 By the bye, I have to presume God has no laws, since there's no evidence of them being enforced in any way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canuckistani Posted November 19, 2012 Report Share Posted November 19, 2012 (edited) By the bye, I have to presume God has no laws, since there's no evidence of them being enforced in any way. He has no laws since he's never stepped forward to present them. Just always some human claiming to speak for God. Like Moses, who claimed God told him to holocaust the Canaanites, cause He loves Jews more than Canaanites. Sure He does. Enforcement is the same. Lots of humans willing to do all sorts of killing claiming they're enforcing the will of God.

Mighty AC Posted November 19, 2012 Report Share Posted November 19, 2012 You unworthy heathens ask too much of the gods. Do you seriously expect a god to communicate its wishes clearly and effectively?! Like god doesn't have anything better to do! Besides he regularly makes faces appear in grilled cheese sandwiches, what other proof and direction do you need?! He's trying hard to save us from the hell he created, so if you don't want to end up there start hating gays, women and knowledge like a good little Christian. THE GREAT AND POWERFUL GOD HAS SPOKEN!!! Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
