Ideology And Religion

I

Disclaimer

Criticisms of Christianity are not exclusive to this particular group of religions. Christianity is simply the one most familiar to the author. Similar criticisms can be made for all organised religions that worship and idolise.


Ideology

Worshipping an Idea.

Rather than,

Engaging with Truth.

.

Ideas are to be Genuinely
Considered, Contemplated and
Explored for Validity.

Not Worshipped.

A Valid Idea is an Idea
that Aligns with Truth.


Moral Recognition

An Individual that currently associates
with a particular religious ideology,
should give themself more credit
for their Morality and Integrity.

Rather than allowing some
parasitic religious institution,
claim credit for something
it played little part in.


God vs Singularity

When One refers to “God”, they are referring
to something that is not them and is beyond them.

In other words, “God” has nothing to do with them.

When referencing Singularity, One acknowledges the Self
and the Self’s place within the Absolute Whole or all that IS.

It is the acknowledgement of, “One and Only One”.


Virtuous Facades

Political Parties and Organisations.

Outwardly facing Virtue.
Inwardly facing Depravity.

.

Organised Ideological Campaigns.

Outwardly facing Virtue.
Inwardly facing Depravity.

.

Organised Religious Institutions.

Outwardly facing Virtue.
Inwardly facing Depravity.


The Mascot

Christ himself
has nothing to do
with Christianity.

Christianity uses
the idea of Christ,
as a Marketing Mascot
to sell the Ideology.


The Torture Of Christ

Christianity worships the Crucifix.
The Crucifix is a torture device.

.

Christianity worships the Crucifix.
The Crucifix was used to torture Christ.

.

Christianity worships the Crucifix.
Christianity worships the Torture of Christ.


Ritual Cannibalism?

Catholics partake in a ritual of
“Eating the Body of Christ”
and
“Drinking the Blood of Christ”.

Seems rather cannibalistic.

.

Are Catholics engaging in
Mock Ritual Cannibalism?


Hierarchy Of Sins

The Ten Commandments.

The Seven Deadly Sins.

Yet, no mention against
the sexual abuse of children.

.

“Thou shalt not take the name
of the Lord thy God in vain.”

“Honour thy father
and thy mother.”

“Thou shalt not
commit adultery.”

.

“Gluttony.”

“Envy.”

“Pride.”

.

All more important than
the sexual abuse of children.

Wonder Why?


Christian Values

“Thou shalt not covet
thy neighbour’s slaves.”

But owning slaves is fine.

Because that’s just,
“Christian Values”.


The Great Deceiver

Christianity considers “Satan”,
The Great Deceiver.

Would not the Greatest Deception be,
to worship “Satan”,
through the image of Christ?


What Value Are You?

What do books like the Bible,
tell you about, You?

They talk a lot about other people
and their stories.

But what about, You?

Who are, You?
What are, You?
Why are, You?
Where are, You?

What do these books
say about, You?


Christ Said What?

Is there any record of Christ actually
speaking about abortion?

Is there any record of Christ actually
speaking about homosexuality?

Is there any record of Christ actually
speaking about divorce?

Yet Christianity takes a position
on all of these things and more,
then attributes it to Christ.

.

This is not to counter any of these positions,
just a record of presumed attribution.


Whose Teachings?

The New Testament
is not the Teachings of Christ.

It is the teachings of the Apostles of Christ.

At best, based on their interpretations
of the Teachings of Christ.

In legal terms, this would equate to,
“Hearsay Evidence”.


Worshipping What?

Creation and the
Human Individual’s place in it,
is not a religious issue.

There is nothing to be
idolised in this relationship.

There is plenty to Discover,
to Understand,
to Know.

But nothing to worship.


Religious Founders?

The Buddha was not a Buddhist.

Christ was not a Christian.

Muhammad was not a Muslim.


Never Ending Story

…When momentum swings
against the Ideological Lunatics,
be careful that they are not
replaced by Religious Crazies.

When momentum swings
against the Religious Crazies,
be careful that they are not
replaced by Ideological Lunatics…


Belief vs Truth

Belief is Conjured to Control.

Truth is There to Liberate.


Crutches

Ideology and Religion
are nothing more than
Psychological and Emotional
Crutches.

One cannot stand on their own
as a Strong, Powerful Individual,
whilst holding on to Crutches.

.

Let go of the Crutches.


Perverting Teaching

Schools Teach.
Religions Worship.

Worship creates a
perversion
out of Teaching.


Beyond The Individual

Nothing that the Individual
Dreams up, Creates or Expresses
is above or beyond the Individual.

How can it be?

.

Religion is not
above the Individual.

Ideology is not
above the Individual.

Politics is not
above the Individual.

.

All are subordinate
to the Individual.


Diversion Tactics

Religions were not created
to Help One find Truth.

Religions were created
to Hinder One finding Truth.


When The Cat’s Away

Just like Tolkien’s work is being perverted
by rats and cockroaches after his death,
maybe the teachings of Muhammad,
Christ and in some part the Buddha,
have also been perverted by the same,
after their deaths.

It is always easier to distort
and misrepresent a creator’s work,
when they are no longer around to object.


Subordinating Sovereignty

Why is Worship so Insidious?

Because One is unknowingly
Subordinating their Sovereignty
to an external authority,
real or imagined.

.

In other words,

My Friends,
You Bow To No One.

King Aragorn
The Lord of the Rings,
The Return of the King

Why Evil?

If God is the creator of the
Universe and everything in it,
then God created Evil.

Did he not?

If Evil is actually offensive to God,
then God could eradicate it easily.

Could he not?

.

But he doesn’t.

Does he?


Only You

There is no God!

There is just, You.

You are all that ever was.

You are all that ever will be.

At the very Heart of all that IS,
there is only, You.


Santa Claus In The Sky

God is the grown-up version
of a Santa Claus in the Sky.


Security Blanket

God, Ideology is a
Security Blanket
for the Weak.


Halting Derangement

Derangement must be
called out for its Derangement.

So the unsuspecting do not get
caught up in the Derangement.


Choosing Truth?

Truth is not a Belief
the ego gets to Choose.


Religion Farming

Religion’s farming operations provide it with,

.

Multiple virtue and guilt-based revenue streams.

A reliable source of indoctrination evangelists.

All the useful idiots it could ever need
to attack and suppress dissent.

And a herd that believes Religion
serves their interests.

.

What a magnificent grift.


Debating God

Debating the existence of God,
is like a debate between the blind,
to determine whether the Sun
is either Green or Cheese.

One that can See,
does not engage in such nonsense.


Environmental Advocates

Given that Christianity views God as the creator
of the Earth and every plant and animal on it,
then it is perplexing that Christian religions are not
the greatest Environmental advocates of all.

In fact, they say surprisingly little
on real Environmental issues.


Ideological Hubris

“What would Jesus do?”

.

What Hubris to presume
the actions of Christ.

What Hubris to espouse
the qualities of Christ,
solely from Ideological affiliation.

Any Individual
of the quality of Christ,
has no requirement
to evoke Christ.

Such an Individual,
Stands on their own.


Warm Fuzzy Feelings

When One is Worshipping “God”,
what exactly is One Worshipping?

Why at all is One Worshipping?

What does One think they
gain from Worshipping?

The answer to these questions cannot
simply be, for Warm Fuzzy Feelings.

.

Be Aware, that no
Choice or Action
is purely inert.


Observing Stupid

It is intriguing to observe,
an Adult that believes
in a Santa Claus in the sky,
labelling Others as stupid.


Convenient Hand-Waving

“God works in mysterious ways.”

.

Seems like convenient Hand-Waving to misdirect
from the nonsensical inconsistencies of Religion.


Christ Is My Saviour

Making a statement like,

“Christ is my Saviour”

says one of two things.

.

1.
“I am lazy and looking to subordinate
responsibility for my life to someone else.”

2.
“I am too weak and cowardly
to accept responsibility for my own life.”

.

Either way, the implication is that,

“Someone else has to do it for me.”

“Someone else has to deal with
the Burden of being, “My Saviour”.”

The appropriate response to this is,

“Do It Yourself!”

Then again,
maybe One is just Virtue Signalling
when making the statement,

“Christ is my Saviour.”

Because Virtue Signalling
is a Religious creation.


I am not
Beholden or Subservient
to no God of yours.
