Those who are best described by his comments are the most likely to scream. That, and faux news talking heads. (damn, using "heads" and Fox in the same sentence is brutally hard).

He is right, the bible and many of its teachings have caused major harm to this world. The Dark Ages alone caused the death and torture of millions. The crusades created a hatred of education, and instilled a hatred of one of the most sophisticated, elegant, and peaceful groups around, and caused them to become violent against Europe.

As for JC, if he actually existed, the possibility that he was little more than a stark raving, unwashed, illiterate paranoid is highly unlikely. Why else did it take more than 220 years after his cross thingie before someone decided to write down what he didn't say, then translate it, change it, add and subtract from it, mangle, bend, spindle, mutilate it, until the Council of Trent, when they rewrote the whole damned thing? Or before that, the Council of Nicea?

Worst of all, the translation of what we see today is highly unlikely to be even close to the original, especially the new testament. Just ask permiso of the Vatican to take a glimpse at the "lost" gospels it worked so hard to keep under cover.

I'm a Rothschild/CIA Mk Ultra under Protective Custody..
My husband I were used from birth to store there thinking and deeds,,including our families..But we were the main targets..

I guess I'll call it divine justice,because now I can speak about all the things that were stored via Mk Ultra in our brains..

After the law tapped them on the shoulder,Nov.2004, there were 3 things they worked overtime to prevent..

1.There first attempt was Jan.2005,working to prevent me from getting help.Contacting the FBI,MSM,ACLU,etc..
In this situation they opened up the Soviet Union Mk Ultra Program...Electrical shock,etc.

2.Attempt two was in August 2006,,,
Attempting to stop me from reading Jack Bernstien's book,,"That Israel was Racist,Marxist,ect,"
"That the entire USA MSM was controlled by Zionism"...
In this situation they took my husband down and gave him a very complete nervous breakdown with MK Ultra,
He lost 40lbs in two weeks....

3.The third attempt has been recent,,
They have been working very hard to prevent me speaking of what they stored in our brains, such as,,
Age 8 they stored in my husband,,,
"The Jews wrote the Bible to get the Christians to fight there wars"
This was complete with the one picture he had hanging in his room as a child,,a picture of a bird,a Red Cardinal..
Or at around age 12 they stored via me,,
"That the Catholics attempt to recruit children by a certain age to make them Catholics for life"
Or,"That the Catholic's are the biggest evil on the planet"...This is funny as a Jew stored this in my brain...
To make this complete they directed my parents to a ZION church..

They stored much more including all the Kabbalah Satanical ways,,It's horrible and yes very much against the law...

Whether you do or don't believe in God,,know there are scrolls that show the current Bible is a scam...

The Rothschild/CIA stored how they are the creators of Born Again Movement..
They also put a person BIG in my life from every Christian denomination..Baptist,Methodist,Luthern,etc.
Assembly God,Jehova,,They made a scar to every religion for discussion with Mk Ultra..

I will do more thinking and expose what else the Rothschild/CIA stored..
Even though they have no direct access to our brains with Mk Ultra,,they still can work people we know,,
They know what buttons to push and have did it again,,,taken my husband down...
As they have been with us since infancy they know all our fears and many fears they inserted...

All there evil deeds and thinking were stored,Franklin Scandal,Oklahoma Bombing,Artificial Earth Quake in California,,9/11 and much more,,,Area 51 was stored,,There experimenting on people was stored..

Everything you say squares with what I have read about MKULTRA. For those unfamiliar, a great intro is the speech given by Dr. Colin Ross called "CIA Mind Control Experiments: Building the Manchurian Candidate".

This was an address given to colleagues in the field of psychiatry at 9th Annual Western Clinical Conference on Trauma and Dissociation, April 18, 1996, Orange County, California, and subsequently broadcast in three one-hour segments in the series "Mind Control in Canada" on 88.1 CKLN, Toronto, Mar 16, 23, 30, 199.

"the possibility that he was little more than a stark raving...&c. is highly unlikely."

Don't you mean "the possibility that he was much more than a stark raving...is highly unlikely"?

Your summary of the effects of the doctrine in the Dark Ages (and later) is quite accurate.

But that is not because the monsters you reference did what the New Testament records the character Jesus as having taught.

Likewise, the Bush Crime Family, Gen. Boykin, the whole "Christian" Right in short, are as far from the teaching ascribed to this man (whether he existed is a separate issue) as were the Pharisees of his day that killed him for telling them how low down they were (again, taking the text at face value, as these modern day believers must, and the Mediaeval ones should have).

But if you want an example of "real" Christianity in the modern world, you need look no farther, as Randi Rhodes well pointed out, than the Amish community in Nickel Mines, PA, where a sick bastard milk truck driver raped and shot ten pre-teen girls at a school, then himself.

Inundated with gifts and money by a shocked and grieving public, what did they do? They quickly went on TV and publicly forgave the man in all sincerity, then went immediately to comfort the mans wife and children, now without a provider, and bestowed all the gifts on them. They made a point of going to that family in person and confirming their love toward them.

That's the real stuff. That's real whether Jesus really lived or was only a sublime tale by inspired people.

The fact that monsters turn every good thing into evil is a separate issue.

Thank you for that illustration. That is Christianity. What PASSES for Christianity in this world such as claiming the United States is a Christian nation is not even close. Think what a better place this world would be if a country as powerful and imposing as the U.S. would act in a true Christian manner as taught and expressed by Jesus of Nazareth. What a testimony it would be if this Nation would turn about from it's warmongering and occupying of other countries to a benevolent nation of goodwill toward the rest of the world. I'm certainly not advocating that we become a theocracy, God knows there is enough craziness in the world already, but only Christlike in our actions toward the rest of Humanity. Not much chance of that. We have "in God we trust" on our money, and just look at us. It's all bullshit hypocrisy

Or Gandhi-like. It's the same thing, really. Like the title of my website: "When Will We Evolve From Animals?"

Or maybe more appropriately:TO Animals. Their instinctual activities are pretty much "God given" unlike the "seven deadlies" exhibited by much of "huminity"

Who needs the bible?

The Native American Ten Commandments

Remain close to the Great Spirit
Show great respect for your fellow beings.
Give assistance wherever needed.
Be truthful and honest at all times.
Do what you know to be right.
Look after the being of mind and body.
Take responsibility for your actions.
Dedicate your efforts to the greater good.
Work together for the benefit of all mankind.
Treat earth and all there is with respect.

Apparently Native Americans did just fine without it.

This Choctaw thanks you for this.

you lost me at 'spirit'

ALL living things are sacred or have meaning and purpose.....we are all connected. Consider the 'spirit' to be a collective 'energy' of everything living, if you will...including animals, rocks, plants, birds...mother earth...etc.

As the other poster just mentioned, the Spirit in this context is the equivalent of the Jungian "collective unconscious".

When one person suffers from a delusion it is called insanity.
When many people suffer from a delusion it is called Religion.

Psychiatry defines "hearing voices" as paranoid schizophrenia. Religion says, "if you're not hearing from God, there's something wrong in your life".

Amen and hallelujah. Saramago nailed it.

rAmen! I hope one day to be touched by His noodlly appendage!

This bible: "He came down to earth as an incarnation of Himself, to sacrifice Himself to Himself in order to forgive His people, who he had made in the image of Himself, and save them from--wait for it!--the wrath of...HIMSELF! TAAAA-DAAAH!!!!!!"

No doubt he's correct. But he should've thrown the Koran in with it, as that book is every bit as fucked up as the Bible.

You must not remember Salmon Rushdie.

Yeah, I read the Satanic Verses. So what?
