Dear Atheists,
Agnostics and other Christian-bashers,
OK! You win. I
give up. You're right and you've been right all along. The
institutional Christian church is a murderous, lying, thieving,
ego-driven, power hungry, poor killing, rich elevating, destroyer of
lives. You're right. No doubt about it. It's all a big, giant,
man-made power trip.
And I've got to
hand it to you for figuring it out WAY before I did! You were
trying to tell me and I wouldn't listen. So thanks. I'm sorry I was
so pig-headed.
I was trapped
inside that whore for decades, but now I'm free! And you know
what? Now that I'm outside and looking at it without scales on my
eyes, I can see that God is REALLY pissed off!! There are a WHOLE LOT
of people saying “Thus sayeth the Lord” and He didn't say
anything at all to them. (Well, He might have told them to repent
personally, but they don't want to hear that.)
But see, here's
the thing, mostly the problem you're having is with Churchianity, not
with Jesus. There are folks that are believers in Christianity
the organized religion and folks that just follow Jesus. I
doubt you've actually ever met very many of the ones that just follow
Jesus. There's a HUMUNGOUS difference between the man-made,
ego-driven, Big Church, religion that we're used to and what Jesus
actually founded. Let me give you some examples.
The Crusades? Not
Jesus' idea. The Inquisition? Not Jesus' idea. The infighting between
sects in Northern Ireland? Not Jesus' idea. The fact that we have now
more than 37,000 denominations in this thing we've been calling
“The Christian Church”? Not Jesus' idea. Jimmy
Swaggart crying all the time for money? Not Jesus' idea. Oral
Roberts gonna die if you don't send money? Not Jesus' idea.
Megachurches that spend $70 million to remodel a stadium and ignore
the poor? Not Jesus' idea. You getting this yet?
See, the thing
you're not understanding is that there IS a real battle between Good
and Evil – and Evil has pretty much built this whole thing we've
been calling “church”. Yeah, OK, some of you don't
think there is such a thing as a real Satan. Fine, whatever, then
call it man's own depravity – I don't really care. The point is
that whatever did it, it wasn't based on what Jesus said to do!
BUT ... we've been telling you that we're holy and we know what we're
doing. But it's a lie. It's demostrably, proveably,
statistically, no question about it a lie. We've completely screwed
up. This is SO far away from what Jesus taught that most of it is
going to have to destroyed before we can start over!
Maybe this will
help. I'm publicly notifying you and admitting to you that the VAST
majority of people in America that SAY they are Christians are going
straight to HELL. I'm not God and I haven't seen the latest
report, but I'm betting somewhere around 98% of the people that think
they are safe are actually on the Broad Path straight to hell.
You can't say a little magic prayer and then do whatever you
want. You can't sit in pew or get dunked and think you're safe
now. Jesus said you would be a new creation and you would walk
in righteousness. He said you would be hated and persecuted and
nothing you have would be your own. He said that Christians would be
known by their freakish, unstoppable, unconditional, self-sacrificing
love for each other. Is that how we got 37,000 denominations? By our
love? I'm thinking not.
OK, so here's the
thing. When I started seeing straight about the church. I started
questioning everything. The Baptists had lied to me about the
miracles and gifts in the Book of Acts not being for today. The
Charismatics lied to me about being FILLED with the Spirit and
staying full all the time. The Nazarenes and Wesleyan lied to me when
they said they couldn't sin anymore. Never mind the lady with
pink hair asking for money. Everybody that's not supernaturally
bewitched by the pulsating glow off her jewelry should see through that!
I questioned
everything. I refuse to listen to ANY man anymore. They're all
whacked. If God is out there, then I need HIM to explain all this to
me and tell me what to do now. And He did. He rocked my world,
gave me a vision of how bad things really are, scrubbed me clean of a
whole bunch of bad stuff I was still carrying, started talking to me
REALLY loud. I told Him that He could have anything that I had
if only He would use me to turn this mess around. My business, my
family, my friends, my money, my life, comforts – whatever. And
He took me seriously and took it all. And I couldn't be happier!
Because I traded the temporary for the eternal.
Anyway, don't
bother trying to convince me there is no God and Jesus is a myth. He
holds my hand everyday. I've been two years now trusting Him for
everything. I hear His voice all day every day and the proof is the
long string of miracles and healing and deliverance and radical
personal transformations that trail in my wake wherever I go. No
credit to ME!! God forbid! He's killed so much of me, I'm barely even
in here! This is all about Jesus. And He's real and you can't talk me
out of it. There is just TOO much evidence and proof of Him
moving miraculously in my life. So don't bother trying to argue with
me about that. Your theories cannot outweigh to my personal experience.
But I'm not here
to argue with you about God. I'm here for two reasons. First, to
admit to you that this thing called “church” that we've
built over the last 1800 years is totally whacked. You're right
to hate it and I'm glad you're trying to kill it. Secondly, I'd
like to help you do it. So I'm going to give you the best ammunition
I have. I'd like you to take this bullets and go and WRECK the
thing! There's lots more on my website -
www.FellowshipOfTheMartyrs.com. The text to this audio is
there, too, under /atheists.htm.
Now, please,
understand, I'm not trying to convert you! I'm trying to get
the people that SAY they love Jesus to actually start acting like
JESUS! That's not so wrong, is it? I mean, Jesus was a good
guy, right? I don't care if you think He was mythological and
fictional – He said some good stuff and it would probably be a
really good thing for our cities and our country if the people that
SAY they love Jesus were actually BEING loving, self-sacrificing,
servants and foot-washers, right? So please lay off me with the
cursing and the useless poking at me, I'm just trying to help you out here.
OK, for example,
here's a good one. Read Galatians 5:19-21 - “19 Now
the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery,
fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness, 20 Idolatry,
witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions,
heresies, 21 Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and
such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in
time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the
kingdom of God.” That's the King James just so their religious
spirits won't flare up at you. Anyway, take a hard look at the word
“heresies”. In the Greek that means “schools of
opinion”. It's translated in other versions as “factions”.
Do you get it? Ask
any Christian how they can justify 37,000 denominations in the light
of that scripture? Isn't a seminary just a “school of
opinion”? If dissensions and strife and seditions and
factions are the acts of the sinful nature and this thing we call
“church” is full of that stuff, then doesn't it say VERY
clearly there that those who do such things are NOT going to inherit
the kingdom of God? That can't be good!
Take a look at the
Scary Stats page of the website (or the audio). If you take the total
of all the money we spend divided by the number of baptisms you get a
rough estimate of Return on Investment, that is, efficiency per
dollar. In India, the average cost per baptism is $9803.
In the United States is $1.55 MILLION dollars. OK, something is
whacked! Something is really, really wrong. The people that say they
want to get the Gospel to the whole world are spending over 90% of
the money on themselves! I'm pretty sure God's not going to
like that, especially since they're telling people that GOD told them
to buy that million dollar chandelier for the sanctuary!
Listen, I've got
enough problems trying to get the people that SAY they love Jesus to
mean it! Please don't pester me with your arguments about
evolution or whatever. I don't care about that. If you're nice, maybe
I'll give you more ammo. There's plenty.
Trust me, God is
not NEARLY as mad at you as He is at the people that say they are His
children and are continually spitting on Him. You're supposed to spit
on Him. That's what you do. He doesn't mind the
“world” acting like the “world”. But the people
that say they love Jesus are going to be held to a higher standard.
And they need to shape up or He's going to flatten them.
Judgement is
coming on America. But it's not because of the gays or the atheists
or the satanists or the Democrats. Judgement is coming on
America because of the lukewarm church. And God is going to spank
them REALLY hard and spew them out. Unfortunately, everybody
else is going to have to come along for the ride. And I'm
really sorry about that. If the Book of Revelation is real,
then two thirds of the planet is going to die. And it won't be the
fault of the “world”, it will be a judgement against the
church for not having obeyed. Read Deuteronomy 28.
Of course, I could
be thoroughly and certifiably nuts. In which case, you should not try
to reason with me, you should just ignore me completely. But please
don't medicate me, I'm really enjoying this adventure!
As for me. I'm
going to follow Jesus from now on. No Man gets to by my Head anymore.
If I meet you someday, maybe you'd give me a chance to apologize in
person. This is no gimmick. I mean it.
I love you. I
really do. I'm not kidding. I mean it all the way and I'm not going
to stop loving you.
Atheism Kills
- Statistics
about Atheism video
that has been on YouTube and elsewhere.
Powerpoint
presentation with all the text is here - Source is
"World Christian Trends AD30 to AD2200; A summary of the
Christian mega-census." By David Barrett and Todd Johnson,
William Carey Library, 2001.
The statistics on
martyrdom are only ONE tiny component of this massive book of
statistics. Nearly all of it highly critical of the Church. For your
information, this book is despised in many Christian circles. The
conclusions the author comes to about the state of the Church are
VERY difficult for the status quo to swallow. This is not a
self-serving book attacking Atheism. It is a critique of the Church.
I just pulled the martyrdom stats out for this video. You can see
some horrifying stats about the state of the Church - here Scary Stats.
Please understand,
the point of this video was not to convert you or threaten you. The
point was to show that when leaders who do not place any value on
human life take control of a giant mechanism, they almost immediately
start killing people. ANY people that oppose them. PARTICULARLY
people that put value on human life. The Protestant reforms had
their problems, but they never killed anywhere near the number that
the Roman Catholics did. Why? Because the Catholics didn't put any
value on human life - except that of the leadership. The Protestants
weren't right either. They changed a FEW things, but they STILL did
not return to the model Jesus set for us! Calvin and Luther
killed people, too. But you can't find anybody killed by the
Anabaptists and some others. The people following JESUS - not
RELIGION - didn't set out to kill.
Anyway, you don't
want to be lumped in with Stalin and Mao and Pol Pot, you find it
offensive - well, I don't want to lumped in with killer Pope This or
That! If you want me to stop thinking you are amoral and place
no value on human life, then stop saying you'll be glad when I'm dead
- or worse that you want to scrub the planet free of the likes of
me! That doesn't really convince me you're harmless. Stop
telling me that you want to pass laws to protect MY OWN children from
hearing about my religious views. That requires state intervention
into religion, violates the First Ammendment - and when I won't obey
that bad law, will make me a criminal, a target, a threat to the
state and expendable. Your organized "hit squads" on
places like YouTube are not really any different then the "heresy
hunter" websites that whacked Christians use to shoot at each
other. We're not so different. Because we all share a
flawed, fallen nature that will kill if given half a chance.
Here is the
original video before "theskepticantidote" doctored it up
for YouTube. I was aiming for a little more "happy"
than he was. :-)
The point of the
video was that, how come Christians are the majority and we haven't
hunted down all the atheists? In fact, why are Christians,
knowing the harm atheistic teachings have done in the past, allowing
it to encroach on our culture so much? Mostly because those of
us that are obey JESUS CHRIST understand that we're supposed to love
you, not kill you. And if you talk me out my religioin and
convince me God is dead, that might be the only thing keeping me from
hunting down other human beings. Maybe you ought to be grateful
for it and leave me alone. You really don't have any idea how
many mass murderers are being restrained by their fear of hell.
Maybe it's not such a good thing to take it out of them.
Statistically speaking, you're kind of on shaky ground saying they'll
be better off as atheists.
Thanks for taking
the time to listen to me. I'm not trying to convert you. I'm trying
to tell you that the thing you've been calling
"Christianity" probably doesn't actually have much of
anything to do with Jesus at all. Trust me, the
"institutional church" is not NEARLY as scared of YOU as
they are of ME!! Want to be a radical? Don't mouth off on
YouTube, go stand up in church and tell them the Lord says He's VERY
unhappy and about to CRUSH THEM ALL for being lukewarm pukes.
Yeah, you don't have it so bad. :-)
A really cool
brother from Canada redid my video and jazzed it up! Here is
his version! Between the two
versions, they saw over 3,000 views in the first 72 hours!
This
site is meant to be just
a plain, direct reporting of how miserably, horribly, devastatingly
badly we
- the
Christians in
the West - have
mismanaged the massive gifts which God has entrusted to
us. Maybe we can change
directions if we try something different. Maybe if we started
listening to God really well and obeying radically, no matter what
the cost. Yeah, that might work.
Although
we're perfectly capable of it - we're
not trying to impress you with our fancy web design, marketing savvy
and slick Madison Avenue ad techniques. Truth is Truth.
Your heart knows the difference.
