Dear Violet and All,

 

The utterly violent and murderous nature of this so-called 'god' of

the Old Testament spills into the Bible and Quran, albeit to a much

lesser extend. Look around the world today and you can see religious

fanatics imitating the same violent and murderous acts of that god.

What is really scary is that the so-called god will reward such

murderers with ample mensus-free virgins (houris) and wine i.e., 24/7

fornication and intoxication for all eternity!

 

“From the first sketchy details, the two Palestinians who blew

themselves up in Jerusalem this week seem to fit the profile of the

Islamic bomber — unmarried young men in their late teens or early

20s, steeped in the Muslim religion...

 

The suicide bomber believes he — the only suicide bombers so far have

been men — ascends directly to heaven as a martyr in the holy war

against the infidel. And, it is said, he will enjoy the forbidden

earthly pleasures of wine and 72 virgins.”

 

The Daily Telegraph, Friday, 1 August 1997

 

 

“It proclaimed a sensuous heaven and a horrible hell. Its fatalism —

’What is written, is written’ — encouraged bravery on the

battlefield. From there, a devout follower of Allah was transported,

drenched in his enemy’s blood, to heaven. ‘The sword’, Mohammed

said, ‘is the key of heaven and hell.’ One drop of blood shed in

God’s cause was better than prayer and fasting. As Gibbons summarized

it, ‘whoever falls in battle, his sins are forgiven; at the day of

judgement his wounds shall be resplendent as vermilion, and

odoriferous as musk; and the loss of his limbs shall be supplied by

the wings of angels and cherubim.’

 

In Paradise, as Santayana wrote in his Little Essays on Religion, the

warrior sits ‘in well-watered gardens with Mohamed, clad in green

silks, drinking delicious sherbets, and transfixed by the gazelle-

like glance of some young girl, all innocence and fire.’ Gibbons’

picture in the eight volume of Decline and Fall is far less

puritanical.

 

Seventy-two Houris, or black-eyed girls of resplendent beauty,

blooming youth, virgin purity, and exquisite sensivity, will be

created for the use of the meanest believer; a moment of pleasure

will be prolonged to a thousand years, and his faculties will be

increased a hundred-fold to render him worthy of felicity.

 

The Prophet was silent about how many magnificent male attendants

would be created for the women fortunate enough to enter Paradise.

Maybe he feared the envy of their husbands in a male chauvinist

world.”

Bantam Press, 1988, p. 156-57.

 

 

That is why it was necessary to send the Comforter, the Holy Spirit

who shall teach you all things (John 14:26). By declaring the

commencement of the Last Judgment and Al-Qiyamah She has forcibly set

into motion a chain of events that compels Jews, Christians and

Muslims to either accept or reject the very heart and soul of their

religions.

 

And what She teaches in detail about all things, specifically about

God Almighty and His Holy Spirit is a far cry from what is taught in

synagouges, churches and mosques:

 

“Now, by now you must have realized all these so-called religions in

anybody’s name — whether it’s in the name of Islam, in the name of

Christianity, in the name of Hinduism, in the name of Sikhism — all

this is falsehood. It has no Truth in it. They have all tried to use

it for their own purposes. There’s only one Truth and that is all

these great Prophets and all these great Incarnations came on this

Earth for your ascent and not for establishing those religions.”

 

Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi

Easter Puja, Cambridge, U.K. — April 3, 1988

 

“Who is the Antichrist? They’re describing he is the Antichrist, that

fellow is the Antichrist. That’s not the thing. There’s an antichrist

within us who accepts all these things which are against the purity

and Love of Christ... Antichrist activities ... All such religions

have to finish. They have to go now. It’s too much. You cannot

support them. They are so much full of anti-religious temperament

that you cannot just bear them. It’s better to finish Islam,

Hinduism, Christianity, Sikhism, Buddhism, Jainism, all isms, one

after another.

 

To what religion did Christ belong. I don’t know... You don’t belong

to any other religion because there is no reason in that. So by the

year 2000 I hope all these religions will run away from this Earth.

All of them fighting for nothing at all, killing each other for

nothing at all. They want, they want to fight, they like to fight.

Why blame Koran? Why blame Bible? Why blame anyone? They want to

fight. They are of divisive nature.”

“For almost two thousand years, three major religions, Christianity,

Judaism, and Islam, have enjoyed a popularity and exercised a

profound influence on millions of human beings. Each, from the very

beginning of its existence, claimed to have the ultimate answers to

the supreme questions that confront man in every age. Each claimed,

on the basis of absolute exclusivity, to be a chosen people. Each

claimed to be able to provide its adherents with the truth about man,

his origin and his destiny, and further to provide him with a world

outlook according to which he could explain everything in human life.

 

As Dr. Martin shows in The Encounter, each of the three religions at

one early moment in its history made a choice according to which all

its later history was determined. Christianity restricted itself

essentially to the West; it attempted, with minimal success, to

convert the peoples of Africa and Asia; it set up from its beginnings

an official opposition and hate for Judaism; at one time it dreamed

of supervising and controlling the secular and political life of man.

Judaism set itself in opposition to Christianity; it became, for

almost 1,800 years, the professional underdog of the West; in modern

times, it has been polarized beyond repair. Islam tied its fortunes

to certain geographical areas, to one concept of civil government, to

a way of life totally incompatible with that of mankind generally

today, and to an irredentism unacceptable to modern man.

 

Each of these religions had a limited success over a certain period

of human history. That period is now over. It is Dr. Martin's thesis

that, as a result, all religions are in a state of crisis. They are

not able to provide modern man with answers to his ethical problems.

They cannot unite man today. Their very formulations of doctrine and

solutions to human problems are unintelligible today. In short, they

have failed modern man.”

 

Malachi Martin, The Encounter,

Farrar, Straus and Giroux, 1970, (summary on book jacket)

 

 

“Judaism, Christianity, and Islam claim the whole man and all his

spirit. They are built on the principle of spiritual allegiance to an

ethos and a dogma which, they claim, should rule all of man's life.

It is the thesis of this study that as doctrines of man and as ways

of life they have received dismissal notices from the evolving world

of today; all three are resisting the peremptory orders; all three

seem incapable of making the necessary leap into the modern world.

 

Even to the most superficial observer it is clear, on the one hand,

that all three religions individually make an exclusive claim to a

certain authenticity, authority, and leadership — a certain

dominance, in fact, as an inborn right. On the other hand, it is

equally clear that none of them has an effective voice among the sons

of men as they parley and dispute over their global destiny. More

then that, this very claim to a certain dominance is not only being

continually refuted and coldly silenced by the growing inability of

any one of the three religious systems to speak coherently and

intelligibly about this global destiny, according as the lines of the

latter's development becomes more and more complex.

 

Even within their traditional areas and increasingly for their own

adherents, they are ceasing to be relevant. Their claim to uniqueness

is being contended; the three no longer straddle the age. They tend

to be regarded retrospectively, like figures receding more and more

into the past. The main consideration of this book is that all three

religions are caught for the same reason in an inescapable dilemma

that offers no discernible alternative. The dilemma is briefly as

follows: each of these three religions exclusively possesses, so runs

the claim, the only answer to all man's questioning, and it alone can

provide man with an explanation of life. But such a claim of

dominance is utterly unacceptable to modern ma's mind.

 

Five hundred years or a thousand years ago, these religions were

making the same all-inclusive claims — but man's world was different

then. In the last 500 years it has changed more radically than over

the previous 100,000 years. Chiefly, a global crisis now affects all

men alike on the very issues these religions once claimed as their

exclusive concern. They, like man himself, have been overtaken by the

logic of history.

 

In this last third of the 20th century, there is something shaking

the human race. It is as if the latter had carried strange unwanted

dreams in its head for millennia, only to wake up brusquely and try

to live the dreams. There is abroad on the human scene a spirit that

cannot be caged. Something that has been compressed, held down,

distorted, and enchained for a long time has now coagulated, boiled

up, and is in the process of explosion. There has also been a shaking

off of shackles, a repudiation of traditional molds of thought, as if

man had suddenly decided to be himself — to see himself in the raw,

not through the colored glasses of ancient mythologies or modern

ideological presuppositions...

 

Jorge Luis Borges, in his story about man's quest for meaning,

describes it as a journey without an end that always returns in a

concentric movement back to man... Modern man rejects the image of

him imposed by exclusive-minded religions. He may never find his God.

He may encounter only — himself.”

 

Malachi Martin, The Encounter,

Farrar, Straus and Giroux, 1970, p. xiv-xvi.

 

 

" There is a growing intolerance of inadequate images of the Absolute.

There is a healthy iconoclasm, since the idea of God has ben used in

the past to disastrous effect. One of the most characteristic new

developments since the 1970s has been the rise of a type of

religiosity that we usually call “fundamentalism” in most of the

major world religions, including the three religions of God. A highly

political spirituality, it is literal and intolerant in its vision.

In the United States, which has always been prone to extremist and

apocalyptic enthusiasm, Christian fundamentalism has attached itself

to the New Right. Fundamentalists campaign for the abolition of legal

abortion and for a hard line on moral and social decency...

 

Christian fundamentalists seem to have little regard for the loving

compassion of Christ. They are swift to condemn the people they see

as the “enemies of God,” Most would consider Jews and Muslims

destined for hellfire, and Urquahart has argued that all oriental

religions are inspired by the devil.

 

There have been similar developments in the Muslim world, which have

been much publicized in the West. Muslim fundamentalists have toppled

governments and either assassinated or threatened the enemies of

Islam with death penalties. Similarly, Jewish fundamentalists have

settled in the Occupied Territories of the West Bank and the Gaza

Strip with the avowed intention of driving out the Arab inhabitants,

using force if necessary. Thus they believe that they are paving a

way for the advent of the Messiah, which is at hand. In all its

forms, fundamentalism is a fiercely reductive faith. Thus Rabbi Meir

Kahane, the most extreme member of Israel’s Far Right until his

assassination in New York in 1990:

 

There are not several messages in Judaism. There is only one. And

this message is to do what God wants. Sometimes God wants us to go to

war, sometimes he wants us to live in peace... But there is only one

message: God wanted us to come to this country to create a Jewish

state.

 

This wipes out centuries of Jewish development, returning to the

Deuteronomist perspective of the Book of Joshua. It is not surprising

that people who hear this kind of profanity, which makes “God” deny

other people’s human rights, think that the sooner we relinquish him

the better.

 

Yet, as we saw in the last chapter, this type of religiosity is

actually a retreat from God. To make such human, historical phenomena

as Christian “Family Values,” “Islam” or “the Holy Land” the focus of

religious devotion is a new form of idolatry. This type of

belligerent righteousness has been a constant temptation to

monotheists throughout the long history of God. It must be rejected

as inauthentic. The God of the Jews, Christians and Muslims got off

to an unfortunate start, since the tribal deity Yahweh was

murderously partial to his own people. Latter-day crusaders who

return to this primitive ethos are elevating the values of the tribe

to an unacceptably high status and substantiating man-made ideals for

the transcendent reality which should challenge our prejudices...

 

Compassion is a particularly difficult virtue. It demands that we go

beyond the limitations of our egotism, insecurity and inherited

prejudice. Not surprisingly, there have been times when all three of

the God-religions have failed to achieve these high standards. During

the eighteenth century, deists rejected traditional Western

Christianity largely because it had become so conspicuously cruel and

intolerant. The same will hold good today. All too often,

conventional believers, who are not fundamentalists, share their

aggressive righteousness. They use “God” to prop up their own loves

and hates, which they attribute to God himself. But Jews, Christians

and Muslims who punctiliously attend divine services yet denigrate

people who belong to different ethnic and ideological camps deny one

of the basic truths of their religion...

 

God can also be used as an unworthy panacea, as an alternative to

mundane life and as the object of indulgent fantasy. The idea of God

has frequently been used as the opium of the people. This is a

particular danger when he is conceived as an-other Being — just like

us, only bigger and better — in his own heaven, which is itself

conceived as a paradise of earthly delights.”

 

Karen Armstrong, A History of God,

Ballantine Books, 1993, p. 390-92.

 

 

“Judaism teaches that man has, since the disobedience of Adam and Eve

in the Garden of Eden, two inclinations in his heart: one good and

one evil. Malevolent dominance is the evil inclination of man's

heart. Christianity has developed its essential doctrine of Original

Sin: the sin of Adam and Eve entailed for all men a loss of spiritual

strengths and qualities by which they could have avoided sin,

especially sins of malevolent dominance. Islam adopted more or less

the doctrine of Judaism with some slight modifications...

 

The religions, therefore, installed at the heart of their individual

systems the basis for a tension and a contradiction: the absolute

perfection demanded of their adherents and the tag of absolute evil

pinned to its contrary evoked necessarily a series of revolts out of

which sprang new polarizations, each claiming — in imitation of the

original — to be the final absolute, the absolute absolute. Jewish,

Christian, and Islamic morality thus could father violent excesses of

moral passion which, of course, automatically, become excesses of

human immorality.”

 

Malachi Martin, The Encounter, Farrar,

Straus and Giroux, 1970, 267.

 

 

“When we examine the modern environment of man in which Judaism,

Christianity, and Islam find themselves, it is abundantly clear that

these three religions are finished as major influences. As

predominantly systems of thought, worship, ethical inspiration and of

judgement on human affairs, they are excluded forever from human

affairs. But they will not perish overnight. They will persist in

some parts of the planet with diminishing influence, dwindling

numbers, and changing faces. They will undergo periodic petty

renaissances and sporadic revivals. They will resist the threat of

extinction as dominant mysteries with all the resources at their

power and with desperation of all the ancient experienced things at

bay and staring at death. Under this threat they may yet render

invaluable services to man. They may go protestingly. They may depart

with dignity. They will certainly pass with pathos; and their nodding

fall into eternal slumbers will needle the human mind with nostalgia.

But, as they are, their dominance is finished forever. Their day is

done...

 

All three made fateful and fatal choices at the one priceless moment

that history afforded them. And all three are paying the price levied

by the logic of that history. For history never forgives and never

forgets.

 

But their decadence, decomposition, and death today are about to be

the saddest part of their story. Nothing so unbecomes them as the

manner of their going. They are going because they failed to the one

thing they promised to do: explains man to man, unwrap the riddle of

his need to hate, show him he is brother at one and the same time to

tell all men and to the angels. They failed to save him from the evil

in him.”

 

Malachi Martin, The Encounter, Farrar,

Straus and Giroux, 1970, p. 273.

 

 

“Christianity within its own borders has specialized in self-

crucifixion, at first to quite a minor degree during the first 1500

years of its life, when heretics and dissidents and accused witches

and sorcerers were put to death, as Jesus was. Then, with the breakup

of its unity in the 16th century, Christians devised for each other

one Hell more horrendous and tortuous than another, indulging in a

300-year round of mutual recrimination, accusation, denigration, and

relegation by bell, book, and candle, to the filthiest categories of

human life. No branch of Christianity can be excused from this,

because all Christians have indulged in it.

 

No body of Christians ever answered the insults of other Christians

with Christ's answer: “Forgive them, Father, for they know not what

they do?” They all developed special vocabularies replete with

violent words such as “heresy,” “heretic,” “extirpation,”

“condemnation,” “excommunication,” “outcasts,” “unclean believers,”

“vice-mongers.” Each one devised its special defenses against the

other: social ostracism, civil war, discrimination, calumny, legal

non-existence. Rome was the Red Lady of the South. Luther was the Pig

of Germany. Protestants were the sons of vipers. Jews were the “race

of the devil.” Muslims were “benighted and error-ridden barbarians.”

No body of Christians ever tried to conquer the world with humility

and patience and love, and no body of believers ever tried to fan the

flames of faith, in the heart of man by being authentically believers.

 

The Jews, in retaliation for their pain and their sustained exile,

contributed to the sea of hate, distrust and, in some cases,

deformation of truth. They invented multiform expressions of

contempt, condemnation, loathing, and utter rejection of Christians.

They even modified some of their traditional beliefs because the

Christians had borrowed them in their original form and, in their

repugnance from all things Christian, they wanted no resemblance to

subsist between their faith and that of the Christians. They returned

hate with hate. They, also, cannot be excused and considered totally

guiltless. They preached truth and justice, yet they violated both in

order to maintain their religion and their Jewishness. Christians

preached love but practised officially sanctioned hate, intermingling

their loveliest psalms of compassion for their dying Savior with the

expressions of extreme disgust for the Jews...

 

Muslims preached mercy and compassion, but they practised none or

very little, assigning both Christians and Jews to the lowest rung in

Allah's consideration, and historically meting out to both a

treatment which rivals any cruelties of man in known history. Down

through the ages, this procession of the crucified one has come:

formed, maintained, and augmented by Jews, Christians, and Muslims.

Each one has prayed with its armies to its god that the armies of the

opponents be destroyed. There is no palliating or explaining away the

sin of Judaism, Christianity, and Islam.

 

The three religions failed in another significant way. None of them

attacked slavery or race prejudice or other flagrant inhumanities of

man to man from the very beginning of their existence. The Arabs of

today sanction slavery as spontaneously as the Popes of the 19th

century sanctioned the creation of castrati choirs for Papal masses,

as readily and blindly as the Protestant ethic of the white American

sanctioned the serfdom and degradation of the Negro race until the

second half of the 20th century. Each religion has practiced the art

of climbing on the bandwagon: only when lay and secular reformers,

sometimes lacking any formal religion whatever, raised such a hue and

cry that men's consciences were stirred, did the religions begin to

turn their huge resources toward reform. The Catholic Church in

Germany and Italy acquiesced in Nazism and Fascism at least in the

earlier stages of the ideologies. Russian Orthodoxy acquiesced in the

despotism and sadism of Czarist times. Greek Orthodoxy sanctioned the

corruption of the Byzantine court and is today bitterly nationalist

in Greece's disputes with Turkey. No Protestant Church and no Jewish

Synagogue ever officially condemned and attacked the Ku Klux Klan

before 1945 in America, though individuals did. Judaism,

Christianity, and Islam have practiced the double standard in this

matter...

 

Thus the three religions have not been witnesses to the truth. All,

it is true, have developed an exalted vocabulary, and a very

impressive manner of announcing their own grandiose claims. All three

have excelled and excel in words, as distinct from actions. All three

have an impressive ritual and have refined psychological approaches

to man. Yet the witness of words, mere words, has never changed men's

minds, nor has mere theological subtlety helped men to be better men.

The witness of the three religions have been faulty, at times

perniciously false and erroneous. The three of them have witnessed to

the uses of hate for the love of a god. And all three have disposed

of the lives and happiness of millions of human beings without any

real feeling for human suffering or any genuine concern for the

concrete realities of life.

 

It is clear, first of all, that today all three religions lack any

authoritative note for man. They have, as yet, each one of them,

sufficient number of adherents to give the impression of continuing

strength, and this glosses over for them and for the outside world at

times their terrible weakness. For each of them, when scrutinized

closely, is blackened with sufficient failures to prevent any

thinking man from believing in them. And, above all, all three

persevere in making a claim which cannot possibly be valid and true:

that they are, each single one, the true religion.

 

Each one of them, however, hides from the ultimate test of its

validity and truth behind a wall of unknowing and expectation. All

three chorus that only on the “Last Day,” when the “End” comes,

when “God” decides, will it be clear that the “other two” and all

others besides were false, and it (the claimant) was all along the

true community of the one “God.” ”

 

Malachi Martin, The Encounter,

Farrar, Straus and Giroux, 1970, 329-32.

 

 

Perhaps these three quotes below sum up the eschatological promise

that " the Comforter, the Holy Spirit, shall teach you all things

(John 14:26) " and the hope and joy of salvation and eeternal life it

brings. All we need to do is openly and fearlessly declare to all

humanity that this promise has been fulfilled to the letter by Shri

Mataji, the promised Comforter (without) and Holy Spirit (within) who

will abide with us forever:

 

" This indwelling of the Holy Spirit will last forever. It is a

permanent indwelling. “And I will pray the Father, and he shall give

you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever” (John

14:16). It is to be understood as the Holy Spirit coming in the place

of the Lord Jesus...

 

The significance of the indwelling of the Holy Spirit is to assure us

that we are children of God. This is the most important purpose of

the Spirit’s indwelling fullness. The Spirit bears witness with our

spirit that we are the children of God (Rom 8: 14-16); see especially

verse 15: “For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to

fear; but ye have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry,

Abba, Father.” This corresponds with Galatians 4:6: “And because ye

are sons, God hath sent forth the Spirit of his Son into your hearts,

crying, Abba, Father.”..

 

The Holy Spirit will one day deliver them from the corruption of

physical death (Rom. 8:11). Through the Spirit they are called to

mortify the deeds of the flesh, precisely because they are children

of God (Rom. 8:13,14). The Spirit also works the assurance of faith

(Rom. 8:16,17). The love of God, predestinating the believer to be

conformed to the image of His Son (Rom. 8:29) is the ultimate cause

of their sonship. The indwelling of the Spirit is the effectual cause

of this child-Father relationship. Out of this flow forth all the

riches of the abiding presence of Christ and the Father and the

assurance of His everlasting love and life everlasting. "

 

Rev. G. R. Procee, May 2005

 

 

“This theme is of the utmost importance in providing a basis for the

unity of mankind. It means that all men of all religions may have a

common belief concerning the most significant aspects of existence,

without having to deny the essence of their previous belief. If men

were to remain divided on questions concerning their deepest feelings

and beliefs then there could be no true brotherhood, at best a

fragile tolerance based on intolerance. The theme is also of

considerable significance for those who have in the past turned

against religion, because it shows that when religion is truly

practised it is not exclusive, narrow, and a source of incessant

quarreling but the instrument for establishing mutual understanding

and appreciation between all men.”

 

John Huddleston, The Earth Is but One Country,

Baha'is Publishing Trust, 197, p. 36-39.

 

 

“These prophets were not unique; they were men as you or I. They were

great Yogis. They had gained this superconsciousness, and you and I

can get the same. The very fact that one man ever reaches that state,

proves that it is possible for every man to do so. Not only is it

possible, but every man must eventually get to that stage, and that

is religion.

 

Religions of the world have become lifeless mockeries . . . If there

is ever to be a universal religion, it must be one which will have no

location in place or time, which will be infinite like the God it

will preach, and whose sun will shine upon the followers of Krishna

and Christ, on saints and sinners alike; which will not be Brahmanic

or Buddhist, Christian or Mohammedan, but the sum total of all these,

and still have infinite pace for development; which in its

catholicity will embrace in its finite arms, and find a place for

every human being, from the lowest groveling savage not far removed

from the brute, to the highest man towering by the virtues of his

head and heart above humanity, making society stand in awe of him and

doubt his human nature. It will be a religion which will have no

place for persecution or intolerance in its polity, which will

recognize divinity in every man and woman, and whose whole scope,

whose whole force, will be centred on aiding humanity to realise its

own true, divine nature.”

 

Swami Vivekananda, My India: The India Eternal,

The Ramakrishna Mission Institute of Culture, Calcutta, 1993 p.119-20.

 

But the heart and soul of Judaism, Christianity and Islam is the Last

Judgment and Resurrection. " All three chorus that only on the “Last

Day,” when the “End” comes, when “God” decides, will it be clear that

the “other two” and all others besides were false, and it (the

claimant) was all along the true community of the one “God.” ”

 

Without question all three are false to a certain degree, especially

in their misinterpretation of the Sure Signs during the Last Days.

That is why the vast majority of their followers are snoring loudly

in ignorance, oblivious to the declaration and commencement of the

Last Judgment and Resurrection. On the contrary, they are all waiting

for the graves to open up!!!

 

But only the Comforter, the Holy Spirit, shall teach you all things

(John 14:26) and awaken you from this collective religious slumber.

The Savior has kept His promise! So joyfully spread this Good News to

all the believers and seekers of salvation!

 

" Jesus solemnly assures the disciples that they will, in the future,

perform even greater miracles than He. By this He means to say that

through the power of the Holy Spirit, they will bring about the

greatest miracle of all – the salvation of lost souls. He promises

them that whatever they ask for, in connection with their ministry of

bringing the miracle of salvation to lost men, will be granted them.

 

The theme of this section is reassurance and encouragement. Jesus

gives the disciples three basic reasons they should cease being

troubled in their spirits. First, He tells them that, although He is

going away, He will return for them so that they may ultimately join

Him where He is going (vv. 1-3). Second, He tells them that, though

He is going away, He will be the only means by which men may come to

God and go to Heaven (vv. 4-11). Third, He tells them that, though He

is going away, their ministries are not finished. In fact, the best

is still ahead. They are going, by the Holy Spirit's power, to be

part of the greatest miracle of all, bringing men to salvation (vv.

12-14). " [1]

> The following is a very SHORT list of sadistic acts that are

> commanded, allowed, or threatened by God and his " righteous " men.

> All of these verses can be found in the Torah. (which are the first

> five books of the Bible.) I have put them in chronological order so

> that you may verify them as you read along. (Keep in mind that the

> scriptures literally have an atrocity on every other page. So this

> list will keep evolving as I work through the Pentateuch yet again.

> To compile a full list may take months, so feel free to check back

in later.) God entraps humans by placing the tree of knowledge in the

> garden and telling Adam and Eve not to eat of it. This is rather

> similar to placing a toy in front of a child and telling them they

> are not allowed to play with it. God created us with instinct,

> rebellion, and curiosity. Soon he punishes us for only doing what

is part of our nature. Genesis 2:16.47

>

> God now commands that all women must have health hazardous labors

for Eve ate the fruit. In no way shape or form is it just that I must

pay for the sins of my ancestors. Genesis 3:16

>

> God caused sibling rivalry by favoring Abel over Cain, with

> absolutely no attempt at justification. This act of favoritism led

> to Abel's death. Genesis 4:3-5

>

> Genesis 7:23 He killed, intentionally, every man, woman, and child

on the planet save eight of them.

>

> God commands Hagar go back into servanthood and bear children for

her master though she does not want to. Genesis 16:7-9

>

> Genesis 19:23-25 God burns down a whole city (women and children

> included) simply because they were supposedly homosexual.

>

> Er, Judah's firstborn, was wicked in the sight of the Lord; and that

> the Lord slew him. How was Er wicked? The Bible doesn't give us

this bit of information, only that Er was wicked in the sight of the

> Lord. Genesis 38:7

>

> Genesis 38:10 God murders Onan for refusing to commit incest with

his sister in law.

>

> Exodus 12:29 God repeatedly tells Moses exactly what calamity he

will next visit upon the Egyptians if the Pharaoh does not allow the

> Israelites to be set free from slavery. Then he tells Moses (also

> repeatedly) that he will harden Pharaoh's heart, so that he will

> refuse to allow the Israelites to go, thus bringing a calamity upon

> his own people, as well as showing him the awesome power of the

> Israelites' Lord. This occurs over and over, bringing calamity upon

> calamity upon the Egyptian people. What is troubling about this

> verse is that when god " hardens the pharaoh's heart " he is

> interfering with the Pharaoh's free will and ultimately bringing

> punishment on the Egyptians for something they are not responsible

> for. As a final punishment god decides to kill all the first born

of Egypt. The lord reduced himself to murdering innocent kids when he

> could have simply freed the Israelites himself with his " omnipotent "

> power.

>

> God punishes children for the sins of their fathers, unto the third

> and fourth generations. Punishing a child for the sins of their

> ancestors is not very just. Exodus 20:5 & 34:7

>

> God endorses slavery. He even set up laws as to how slavery was to

be carried out, and goes as far as Okaying beating them. Exodus 21:2-6

>

> God sanctioned the selling of ones daughter. How can any being tell

> another to literally sell their child into slavery? Disgusting!

> Exodus 21:7

>

> Exodus 22:18 God orders the death of witches, sorceresses and

anyone who practices magic. Sadly enough, this verse was justification for the

Inquisition.

>

> Exodus 32:27 God ordered to be killed, 3,000 Israelites for no

> greater crime than worshipping a golden calf. I don't know about

you but death is a pretty harsh fucking punishment.

>

> Leviticus 20:9-10 God commands death for cursing out ones parents

and death for adultery. Gee, with these types of laws the population

> should be almost nil by now.

>

> Once again god is a homophobe, or at the very least, a bigot.

> Leviticus 20:13

>

> Handicapped people must not approach the altar. Leviticus 21:16-23

>

> Leviticus 26:30 " And ye shall eat the flesh of your sons, and the

> flesh of your daughters shill ye eat. "

>

> Leviticus 27:28-29 God ordered and allowed human sacrifices.

>

> Numbers 16:27 God buries alive Korah and his family.

>

> Numbers 16:35 God killed 250 Levite princes who disagreed with

Moses' leadership. He was so bloodthirsty that he wanted to slay more until he

was talked out of it. Later he put a plague upon 14,700 Jews who thought there

was something wrong in killing 250 princes.

Amorites at Heshbon - " …the men, the women, and the little ones. "

> including children and women. To top it off he commands that the

> virgins be saved for later raping by Moses' soldiers.

> cities, killing all the women and children within!

>

in the cities that he gives us for an inheritance
