Unpacking and decolonising religion

Unpacking religion its origin and debunking certain religious lies.

Religion forcefully enforced into the minds of our ancestors.

  1. It is as absolute fact that the belief of Jesus was brutally beaten unmercifully into the minds of our ancestors.
  2. It’s also a fact that millions of Black people now vigorously fight to defend the Jesus myth that our own ancestors fiercely fought reject.
  3. In doing so our souls are turned diametrically against our own ancestors and we dishonour them.
  4. Christianity has proven itself as being one of history’s most successful propaganda tools used for socializing Black people.

Fundamental flaws within the Christian Ideology and Doctrine

Christianity and its other surrogate partners like Islam, Judaism, Buddhism etc

A fundamental flaw exists within the ideologies of these religions that proves that it was not created by the words of an infallible God but is in fact created by flawed men.

Argument to prove fundamental flawed Christianity ideology.

  1. The origin of humans has probably been the most debated issue in history depending on what you want to believe human beings are thought to have originated within the past 200 000 years.
  2. Archaeological evidence from experts says the humans occupied this planet for much more than 200,000 years plus.
  3.  For 200,000 years or so humans’ history has been characterised with so many atrocities committed by human against humans, human continue to suffer from diseases, continued to die and committing many sins like killing each other etc.

According to the Christian faith God intervened only 2000 years ago–when he sent down his son Jesus to die for the sins of everyone.

This means that heaven watched millions of deaths for more than 100 000 plus years and then only 2,000 years ago decided it’s time to intervene.

And the best way of doing that would be a human sacrifice in the ancient Middle East? The news would take so long to spread that it still hasn’t penetrated all parts of the world like in China, and some other Asian countries.

There are in fact still places in the world where Christianity has not spread and never been heard. These places and their different practiced religions throughout the world include Confucianism—China Hinduism— India Taoism— China Judaism— Near East Al-Islam— Near East Buddhism— India Shinto— Japan …etc.

All these billions of people are doomed to burn in hell for eternity because they are born in countries that do not practice Christianity.

  1. Are all these billions of people therefore doomed to burn in hell for eternity by virtue of the fact that they were born in countries that do not practice Christianity?

Such a thought is totally immoral the whole story doesn’t make much sense.

The Bible stance on slavery also totally disqualifies it from being the true words of GOD!

The Bible’s condoning stance on slavery, as made evident through many scriptures, also disqualifies it from truly being the words of God.

 Here are some passages from the Bible that clearly supports slavery in both the Old and the New Testaments.

How can a loving God condone slavery  it clearly demonstrate that the Bible was not written by men inspired by God, but are merely sanctioned and commissioned by flawed men full of sinister motives .

Examples that support slavery

Ephesians 6:5 Slaves, obey your earthly masters with respect and fear and sincerity of heart, just as you would show to Christ.

1 Timothy 6:1 All who are under the yoke of slavery should regard their masters as fully worthy of honour, so that God’s name and our teaching will not be discredited.

Colossians, chapter 3, verse 22:

* Slaves, obey in everything those who are your earthly masters, not with eye service, as men-pleasers, but in singleness of heart, fearing the Lord. Whatever your task, work heartily…

Here God shows that he is in complete acceptance of a slave’s position and encourages slaves to work hard.

This sentiment is repeated in Titus, chapter 2 verse 9:

* Bid slaves to be submissive to their masters and to give satisfaction in every respect

According to the Bible God loves slavery.

If the Bible was written by man inspired by God, or like the Quran dictated word by word to Mohammad by Angel Gabriel and the words contained in them are the words of the God, then one can come one possible conclusion: God is an impressive advocate of slavery and is fully supportive of the concept.

These slavery passages present us with so much contradiction

* On one hand, we all know that slavery is outrageous and a moral unacceptable  as it is now completely illegal throughout the world.

* On the other hand, the Bible which is word from God, the “creator of the universe” it states that slavery is perfectly acceptable.

*Beating your slaves is fine.

*Enslaving children is fine.

*Separating slave families is fine.

The intensity of the contradiction is remarkable, is the Bible really the word from God or just some doctrine created and packaged for the purpose of control and manipulation.

As a rational human being, you know that slavery is wrong. What does your common sense tell you about a Bible that supports slavery in both the Old and the New Testaments?

Is it rational that we should stop following feeble minded people .A review of the history of how the Bible was actually written irrefutably proves that the many versions of the modern Bible that we now read were written by Europeans.

Some controversial bible verses

 Who wrote the Bible ?

A big question to ask and probably difficult to answer .

Old Testament – Is Moses the real Author of the Old Testament?.

For thousands of years the Prophet Moses was regarded as the sole author of the first five books of the bible known as the PENTATEUCH.

It is believed Moses wrote the first 5 books of the old testament in about 40 years ( 1445- 1405 BC ) Does it means he was continually writing for 40 years no one knows .

New Testament

Written over the course of almost a century after ‘ Jesus death ‘ the four gospels of the new testament ( testament means testimony)  though they tell the same story , they reflect different ideas and concerns .

A period of 40 years separates the death of Jesus from the writing of the first gospel.

The Bible itself is a compilation of text of a variety of forms originally written  in Hebrew, Aramaic  and Koine Greek.
