Our Holy Honest Church

This is my most critically informative post thus far. The church, namely the Vatican, is notorious for changing it's views on existence. I will touch on 3 major issues here, but it gets really good after these points are made...

1) From the 16th-18th centuries, Copernicus, Galileo, and Newton, to name a few, discovered that our Earth revolves around the sun. Yet anyone who talked about this fact was burnt at the stake, stoned, beheaded, or killed in another public setting, all from the church's orders. They didn't stop killing people for opposing the church until the 1890's, just over 100 years ago! They took a neutral stance on the issue in the 1950's, but still didn't officially accept the science of our cosmos until over 400 years after it was proven, which occurred with Pope John Paul II in 1992. They then apologized and kept on with their stories.

2) Charles Darwin discovered the evolution of species and natural selection in the 1850's, which is still debated amongst some ignorant church-goers. Little do they know that the Vatican officially accepted that the Earth wasn't created just 6000 years ago, this was announced in 1996 also by Pope John Paul II. There were not as many killings as the stationary sun theory brought about, but people were, and still are, greatly ridiculed for saying that the Earth might be about 4 billion years old, which is a rounded figure but still a FACT.

3) Prior to the 15th century, anyone who said the Earth was round was put to death almost immediately. Interestingly enough, there was a predominant theory prior to the 3rd century that our Earth was in fact round. This got overthrown somewhere around the 4th century, when the church changed everyone's knowledge to that of a flat Earth. Columbus founded America, and they still wanted the people to believe the Earth was flat. If you went against the Holy church, you were Holy killed.

The church has always been quick to ridicule and kill those who oppose it, until the last 100 years that is. Now people are just killed emotionally, laughed at, outcasted, or alienated if they oppose what the all mighty church has to say. Every time science disproves the bullshit they throw at us, the church simply apologizes for all the killings and says everything else they've told us is still accurate. Really? What's even crazier is that we are told if you aren't a Christian you aren't going to heaven, which Jesus definitely would have never said. What's also funny is most of the world religions have no extremely-long lists of people they've killed, like Christianity does.

When are we going to stand up and take responsibility for our own actions? The church has, and continues to, instill fear in the people to make them follow what the church says. Can you imagine Charles Manson saying, "Oh I'm sorry, I was wrong for killing those people, but everything else I talk about is accurate." We would laugh harder than we could imagine. Why is the church so different? Jesus was a perfect example of how we all should live, but no where does he say that we should even praise him, let alone kill those who don't praise him.

Since the newly funded research on embryonic stem-cells, I personally think the next step will be science finding out that homosexuality is genetic. Then, the church will apologize again, change it's stance, and tell us everything else is still 100% true. I can't prove that everything in the Bible is inaccurate. However, if I know that these 3 major issues were wrong, it seems perfectly logical to think that there is much more being fabricated.

The church doesn't want us to know that we are limitless. We can each become our own version of Jesus one day. Listen to him, not the church and not his so-called predecessors and followers. And don't think that God will punish us for our actions at the end of our life. If I make bad decisions, I plan on taking responsibility for my own actions, and will happily endure whatever pain comes along with those actions to fully grow and learn from that experience.

I sincerely doubt that God has a free-insurance plan (just believe and you go to heaven). Well, I don't believe in the God that the church preaches, but I am still a great person, if I can say so myself. Does this mean I'm going to hell with those several Muslims who live nearly perfect lives but pray to the same God with a different name? My God, or Divine Intelligence, is something we cannot comprehend. I can only relate it to a something like positive energy flow throughout ALL of life, but it's certainly not the jealous, demanding, and fear-instilling God of the Bible. My God will not have such petty human emotions, Jesus didn't even have those unnecessary emotions. My Divine Intelligence brings life, forgiveness, and love to every one of it's creations, not just the supposedly superior human beings. My God will not create something to simply throw it in hell. My God doesn't want me to simply believe in IT or Jesus to get into heaven. No. My Divine Life-Energy wants me to learn from my experiences, take responsibility for my actions, which are sometimes bad, and grow to heaven. I will not say that I can sin over and over on the basis that Jesus will cleanse me from those many sins when I die. I must first overcome the need for selfish desires & sinning, like Jesus, then I will naturally enter that heavenly world, and not just after death but while here on Earth as well.

We are not far from the day when the church is fully exposed. There is nothing wrong with a group of people having similar positive thoughts, but it does not need to be in a church. Jesus resided with prostitutes and tax collectors, not in the money focused temples of those times. The church saw a great figure and took advantage of him. They used his perfect name to get the people to follow the church's agenda, which is eerily similar to the way our government runs this country. They just need a figure we'll like and accept, then they can do as they please.
