why not the CHURCH? why not the BIBLE? why not RELIGION? ...why GOD?

For all the Christians in the world... (This is just an OPINION anyways.)

Often in our everyday life we thank God for everything we got, for the life and for the blessings. Since our "Christian birth" we became sons of God. He is always equipped in our hearts and we stand because of Him. Mainly, the church influenced us with these ideas - the stories of God (not Christ), of Christ (not God Himself), of the prophets, the angels and the saints. Next, the bible influenced us (duh, the bible won't spread not because of the church). Well, I believe that the bible was just a compilation of stories made (or maybe experienced?) by God fanatics thousands of years ago, and it was passed on to the next generations even until now.

Let me ask you, does God exist because of these (stupid) things? Or maybe He exists because He just exists?

WHY NOT THE CHURCH.

I'll tell you something. Right now i really hate (but of course I'm not cursing them for the fault of the previos generations) the church. Why? Simple. It's because of their power. No, I'm not jealous of their power. It's just that they're trying to manipulate everything (a human's everyday life, the government, and many others) in this supposed-to-be free world of ours.

Look. Every Sunday, we must go to church (really a necessity) and not just hear mass but also give "a LITTLE" money to the church. Of course our conscience will sting us if we will not give "a LITTLE". The church says, "Just offer a little and you will get rich. Help your church!" But who gets rich with all those things? Of course the church - no one else! While we, citizens, some became filthy rich and others become friggin poor. Ya right! Being rich is JUST a matter of chance and determination. "What the hell?" that's all i can say.

Another. Why do you have to kneel? Why do you have to make a sign of the cross (everytime you pray), the Holy Trinity which is like.. contradicting the idea of ONE God? Why do you have to confess to a priest when you can just meditate (maybe just calm yourself, concentrate or maybe close your eyes) and talk "directly" to God without "other" people knowing what your sins are. It's called... "being confidential"? I know the priests make sure it's just between you and them, but telling somebody (especially an "unpure" human) is not confidentiality. And besides, is it REALLY true that ONLY priests are blessed by God? Or they are blessed by people who are "blessed" by God?

Still another. In relation to the previous "evidence", why do churches have to make such "rituals" (insense, mass, "holy" prayers,etc)? Aren't they making a "cult" huh? Also, why make such festivals which can destroy traffic? Aren't they doing it to impress the damn foreigners? Well, that's just one. I understand that they also praise God (or maybe just a specific HUMAN saint) through those stuufs. But can't we praise God just by praying? Do we have to exert extra effort (maybe that's a form of sacrifice) and "disrupt the flow of the WHOLE ecosystem"? Ah.. It's bad. F***ing sacrifice... WASTE OF EFFORT!

Still another. I just heard about the "holy of holies" from a friend. How STUPID that was! Immagine? It was said that ONLY the "high priest" (WTF?) can enter that "sacred" room, which, before he can enter, he must take five ceremonial baths and crawl under the three-feet curtain separating the room from the outside world. It was also said that anyone except the high priest who can see the inside of that room SHALL die. ENOUGH OF THIS! My God! The church is already threatening people out of their crazy minds! Go to hell! If God doesn't really want normal poeple to see the "holy of holies", why would the priests say that seing that friggin room means DEATH? And what about the epople who constructed the building? Are they all gonna die and go to hell too? Don't tell me that only the "high priest" himself constructed that building? Of course NOT! That's really insanity. People before are just SO stupid for believing the church. God id the real deal - not the church, not the prophets or the saints, not even Jesus.

Still Another. Everytime i pass the church I always see this "NO TO CONDOMS. YES TO SELF CONTROL. YES TO GOD." First things first. THEY ARE USING THE NAME OF GOD IN VAIN! They used the name of God to stop those condoms. For goodness sake! What the hell happened to them? They didn't realize that it's disobeying the whatever so-called "ten commandments" which they themselves made? F*** up! If God was a human he would probably file a serious case against them. The church proclaimed the "word of God", and they also degraded the name of God. Contradicting isn't it? Another thing. Hello? Let's just say poeple CAN'T stop their urges. Condoms are needed! Really needed... Besides, does condom disobey any commandment/sacrament/whatever otheer many rules they made? 'Course NO! Stupid churches. And one thing more, the Bible said that "God" said, "Go forth and multiply." Hello? Wake up damn churches!

Lastly. I've noticed that the church is quite having a bad time with people who are against them. Why? Are they greedy for power? I suppose not, and they just wanted to spread the "word of God". Though their intention is good, are they really sure that they are spreading the word of God or the word written by ancient writers, the "prophesies" they made that CHANGED the whole world?

I'll let this clear. I hate the church because they seem to be puppetmasters, cotrolling us ordinary citizens with their VERY SILLY ideas. Though i can't blame the religious leaders this time for having rituals which hypnotized every one in this world (except me) because they just passed on the legacy, I still can blame the church long time ago for having those things which made life harder for the Homo sapiens.

How did the church gained power? how do they made people do what they want? It's simple - the most powerful literature of all time - THE BIBLE.

WHY NOT THE BIBLE.

It all started when God "molded" the earth though His glorious powers. LIES! I mean, it's really not true that God "molded" the earth. Hello? God's not a big alien in outer space.. I believe God made the earth and the whole universe through His "invisible hand" - you know, that "something" which directs something to become galaxies, planets, molecules.

The Bible is said to be one of the most powerful literature in the WHOLE WORLD. Yes, because it fooled ALOT of people with its promises of paradise in the "afterlife". We all know that most stuffs in the Bible are just symbolisms - which means that God is also just a symbolism? Maybe, maybe not. But the God i believe in is not like the God in the Bible; which receeds in heaven together with the angels and saints; which has a "son" named Jesus Christ who later became the "savior of mankind"; which is divided into three components (Father, Son, Holy Spirit); which is REALLY ideal. I believe that God is someone or something that just exist because He really exists. No one can explain why He exist, no one can explain what or who really God is. I believe that God guides us to what we are doing; He guides all things happening in the universe - but no, i guess He don't have a stupid paradise.

Now back to the Bible thing. One of the most popular stories/the highlights of the Bible is the story of Jesus, being the son of God who preaches from here to there, who heals everyone who believes in Him. Whoah! That seems too IMMAGINATIVE of the "barbarians" who made the Bible. Well, I know "Jesus Christ" really did exist, as of the findings of the experts, but is it sure that He's the "son of God"? Well let's examine.

Jesus' birth. Jesus Christ was said to be born in Bethlehem, in a barn specifically (how dramatic). And above His "birthplace", there was a supershining megastar which signifies that "the son of God has arrived on earth!" Well, I suppose it was just a coincidence. Maybe that "star" was just a supernova which is very visible that time. And one thing, how DID the kings and shepherds know that the star is EXACTLY above them? You can't really tell those stuffs... DUH!

Jesus' miracles. His first miracle was in the wedding, where He "magically" turned water into wine. Impossible! What is Jesus, an alchemist? No way! He's just a man... Another of His "miraculous" deed was when He made the paralyzed walk, made the deaf hear, made the sick healthy, made the blind see, or even worse, made the dead live again! How AMAZING are those stories. Dream on! No one can do the last one... Even doctors CAN'T revive the dead! ...Or maybe, that person He "resurrected" has his body hibernating for days, and it was such a coincident that Jesus "made him live a second life through his faith." How stupid for people to believe that!

Jesus' death and resurrection. Jesus died on the cross on purpose and after three days He resurrected and ascended/flew to heaven/the clouds to fulfill the prophesy. So nice isn't it? Another LIE! What the hell is the Bible doing with its stories? It's totally messing up stories. Yes, Jesus may be resurrected, but no way he flew to the clouds! What a JOKE. Don't say this is yet another symbolism?

reactions for your comments

@quinn earl:
i---> Well, continue their ministry? Yeah right. Their ministry SUCKS. And are you sure it's REALLY the word of God they spread? Maybe it's the word of Jesus. Well, I don't know Him much but i hate His miracles. So impossible. And besides, the Bible is just a literature. But for now, as a Christian, eventhough i hate the bible I still respect it. Maybe because of the poeple (I mean, the world) surrounding me. And well, I give ten pesos offering every time I hear mass - JUST BECAUSE I WAS BORN CHRISTIAN.
ii---> My mother always tells me to kneel. On the "prayer before the communion", everybody kneels. That's why I hate being Christian/I hate the church. You HAVE to follow THEIR "RULES"! About the "holy trinity", OF COURSE I KNOW WHAT THAT MEANS. I may be stupid but i'm not very stupid.. xP And why make three Gods when there is ONLY one? I guess there is only one God.. And i guess i heard the church said one time that their is only one God. If you said you believe in the "holy trinity", then well, the son is JESUS. And you don't believe in Jesus rather. Weird... About the saints and festivals, etc, haha.. At least somebody agrees with me...
iii---> That's why I hate religion. Many stuffs to do. Many sufferings we have to take so that we could be "cleansed". I also think Jesus is just like the other saints - HUMAN. Why the hell should God give His only begotten son? To forgive all the sins in the world? SO POINTLESS.
iv---> I mean, why do the church say "no to condoms, YES TO SELF CONTROL a.k.a. no to porduction of another human being" when the Bible said "go forth and multiply"? It's like... Disobeying their own "rules" or something?
v---> I DON'T BELIEVE JESUS IS GOD. And yeah, that's why i'm having a blog... So that i can post anything while people don't know who I am... So i can express myself frely. And all my opinions are based from what i see/hear. I also REALLY hate reading.

I may be false, I may be true. God, Jesus, the miracles. They're really confusing especially to a Christian like me.
Yes... kafun man gid sini.. At least if ever you prove who really God/Jesus/the "holy trinity" is or where the Bible really came from, I may be convinced/forced to repent for my sins and be a superfan of Christ.


@cherry blossom:
i ---> oh i see.. fine. whatever. oh i also saw something like this: "yes to renewable! no to coal!" ..don't they know it's cheaper and faster and more convenient (maybe?) to use coal plants? if they want renewable sources of energy, they have to suffer power loss every now and then >.> weird churches... actually i don't care that much about them anymore...
