Jesus isn’t coming guys,
No raptured flight into the skies
This world needs compromise,
Your sabre=rattling won’t change that,
So calm down, Mr. Trump – you sanctimonious twat!
This might be it,
Could be the end,
Stinking of shit,
The Pastor’s friend,
Might just have started World war 3
This Yankee Christianity
Could be the death of you and me
Deus vult!
It’s a death cult,
You’ll see!
But then I learned about the much more serious human tragedy that ensued
Two videos…
This week saw yet another in a very long line 0f failed raptures. There have been prophets and other assorted scoundrels promising apocalyptic rhapsodies since before that ancient Pharaoh had his minions put the first sandstone blocks together like ancient lego-based experiments in geometry.
At first I thought this was just another amusing interlude. Another crank claiming to know the end was nigh. That was my attitude when I posted this video…
But then I learned about the much more serious human tragedy that ensued. So I made this…
So many Christians are supporting the current genocide in Gaza.
Here’s what I don’t understand… So many Christians are supporting the current genocide in Gaza. They claim it’s what their Jesus wants to happen. But that makes no sense to me.
I don’t see how anyone who’s read Matthew 25 can possibly think this is what their Jesus would want!
Christians claim to believe that the Bible is the inspired word of God and yet they usually can’t even be bothered to read what it says.
Christians claim to believe that the Bible is the inspired word of God and yet they usually can’t even be bothered to read what it says. Surely if they really believed it was inspired by the most powerful (and interested) being in the universe – the Deity with the power over their eternal souls they might find the time to see what it actually says! I know I did when I was a believer.
The God of Abraham’s not a shit,
He’s just a myth that doesn’t fit,
The modern world because we know
Too much.
I wondered how I could have been so blind
Genocide and slavery
Gaslighting and rape
All sanctioned, even ordered
By this God of perfect love
Arbitrary punishments
Capricious twists of fate
Hypocrisy, failed prophecy,
Sadism and hate!
The devaluing of woman
Only useful when they breed
A receptacle for callous
Selfish men to sew their seed
And I realised in trembling fear
Shredding many a heartfelt tear
That this hateful God was far from good
No one with integrity could
Support its vile crimes
Crucifixion as substitutionary atonement is barbaric and ridiculous. I want no part of it.
They tell me that their Jesus died for me. But that’s absurd. A scapegoat can’t pay the price for someone else’s sins. It’s barbaric and ridiculous and I want no part of it.
If I said I’d risen from the dead you’d say I’m playing games, If I claimed 500 witnesses you’d want to know their names.
If you want to convince me that something is true, If you’re making the claim then the burden’s on you. If I said I’d risen from the dead you’d say I’m playing games, If I claimed 500 witnesses you’d want to know their names. And if I said God wrote my diary, I’d anticipate inquiry. How you’d react to my diary, Is how your Bible seems to me. Of course, my diary’s bollocks, as you knew, As to the Bible, the burden of proof is on you!
All decent people loathe the things you do in your God’s name!
I neither hate nor fear your God, but here’s the real shame: All decent people loathe the things you do in your God’s name!
Do you think Bishop Budde’s sermon reflects true Christian values
Do you think Bishop Budde’s sermon reflects true Christian values or should she have refrained from asking the most powerful to have mercy for the powerless?
See for yourself and let me know in the comments. Watch her sermon here… https://youtu.be/xwwaEuDeqM8?si=69mVloI9pGWiP5Xb You can read the transcript here… https://www.stmarksrva.org/blog/a-sermon-given-by-the-rt-rev-mariann-budde/
He no longer makes lightning, volcanos or trees,
No divine visitations bring us to our knees!
He’s the God of the gaps,
And that’s all you can say.
As His hiding places shrink,
He will soon go away!
