Questions

In reviewing my previous life as a self-proclaimed 'born again Christian,' I realize that even then the
moral repugnancy of the Christian Church across the world was as obvious as the gravity that holds my feet to the pale blue dot beneath.  The anti-theists of the world are absolutely correct in their summation that the modern foundation of Christianity is physical wealth on a scale that would make Solomon blush.

As a born citizen of the southern (read: backwards) region of the United States, my life has been filled with roads and streets lined with the poor, disaffected, rejected and those labelled by the churches on every corner as 'the other.'  I have seen the interiors of temples devoted to an angry and vengeful god adorned with such beauty and technology that any moral creature would question if this 'faith' was indeed the product of the teachings of a radical Jew that preached against hoarding wealth.

They give nothing but their scorn to the world while insulating themselves from the issues of reality that aren't related to spreading the message of their sadistic sky-god-man.  A tribal god that has an affinity for killing men, women, children and animals in wholesale slaughter, just to be sure no one is left to be upset about the genocide.

How many mouths could be fed with the money used to build just one of these dens of inequity?

How many naked people clothed?

How many life-saving surgeries performed?

How does anything the modern Church do reflect in anyway the teachings of the supposed humble, pious carpenter?


How many of these temples will they build to avoid doing good?  How many more lives will the steel by wallowing in their greed and black hearts of selfishness and vengeful anger at 'the other?'

Verily, if thou pledges allegiance to these palaces of empty grandeur then I say boldly, proudly and loudly:

You have blood on your hands.

The happy face of hate.
