“It is impossible to rightly govern the world without God and the Bible.”
George Washington

EVERYWHERE

His presence is everywhere: it’s hardwired into almost everything and everyone on this planet.

His tentacles of influence are in almost every institution of the modern world.

He is the approver and distributor of power and evil licenses to his “elect”, including the licenses to “righteously” judge, steal from, harm, rape and kill others.

Never once does he say he loves us or shows it, although he regularly showers ancient Jewish kings with power, wealth, battle victories, plunder, sons, virgins, concubines, wives, old age, fame and “wisdom.” But are those real or material expressions of love?

The only “good” he’s possibly done is create us.  Ironically, there are two accounts of this “creation” in Genesis (the first is Genesis 1:1-2:3, and the second is Genesis 2:4-25).  This scholar believes that this may be a veiled attempt to describe two gods and thus, two races of men.

He shows no ”mercy” to weak people or other peoples but the Jews.

Ironically, he is the god of other religions besides Judaism.  This includes Christianity and Islam because the Pentateuch or the first five books of the bible (Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, and Deuteronomy) are the wellspring and foundation of those major religions.

He is the god of hypocrisies, contradictions, paradoxes and legalized violence.

He sets standards and rules for people but there are no rules to govern him, including his actions, thoughts and words.  He does anything he wants and gets away with it just because he is “god”.

He is the supreme spiritual authority and deity described in a collection of Bronze-Age books.  His authority has grown in strength and power over the millennium so much that his book dominates the leadership of many nations.  Congresses pray to him along with pivotal leaders.  In America, elected politicians including the president, swear on his name to uphold (and enact) laws in his likeness.

He is the God of the Sword.  Wars are constantly fought in his name.

He is the god who saves with one hand and slays with the other.

You must tithe to his priests and temples.  He must be flattered (praised and worshipped) and served or suffering, illnesses, plagues, death (plus death to one’s family, town, city or nation) will befall those who refuse to tithe, flatter and obey.

The established biography of his persona has profoundly (and negatively) impacted one side of the world for millennium and the whole world for hundreds of centuries.

He’s the biggest moneymaker of all time.

He is the god of the bible.

But who is he?  Who were the ancient scribes who sat down and wrote about him and other things of their time?  How did a dominant desert culture play a part in their writing? What were the political times like back then?  And more importantly, who was the most influential god of that time and place?

MONOTHEISM

“No one knows when the idea of a single god became part of mankind’s spiritual heritage.” Toward a Hidden God,” Time Magazine, April 8, 1966

Monotheism, the worship of a singular god, is a recent phenomenon in the history of the world’s people.  Even today, over half of the world’s people are polytheistic.

It is a known fact in archaeological, theological, bible archaeological, anthropologist and other circles that Israelites worshipped many gods for a very long time.  The Israelites did not embrace monotheism until thousands of years later in the post-exile period.

The name Yahweh is mentioned over 6,823 times in the Jewish Bible (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yahweh) and he goes by other names as well including Jehovah, The Lord, Ba’al, Elohim,  El Shaddai, Adonai and more.  For a short list of these names see http://ldolphin.org/Names.html.

Monotheism in Israel was a long, evolutionary process that took a long time to evolve.

“… The evolution of God, from a multitude of various earlier deities to the currently accepted and locally popular version of a single omnipotent deity, is well documented. It is a scholastically well known but, an under appreciated fact, that many portions of the Old Testament are dedicated to establishing Yahweh’s superiority over the other Gods….Contrary to popular belief the Hebrews did not originally have a monotheistic religion. Theirs were the gods and goddesses of the land from which they were native; the hierarchy of gods and goddesses who included Baal [a god of human sacrifice]… A little known fact is that the Hebrews also had twelve main deities and a multitude of minor ones… Judaism, Christianity, and Islam were deeply rooted in the Near East, and as often as not shared beliefs and legends with their predecessors… We are very much the inheritors of civilization in its earliest, Sumerian, forms… The efforts of the Hebrews in the 7th and 6th centuries BCE were not so much the creation of new gods and new concepts from whole cloth, but rather the taking of older concepts and adding a “New Twist.”  Yahweh-El is the result of the new twists derived from a re-working and transformation of older concepts by the Hebrews, who followed in the footsteps of their Mesopotamian predecessors…” (http://personalpages.tds.net/~theseeker/Yahweh.htm)

“…Even by Jeremiah’s age (580 B.C.E.), however, monotheism still appears to be a minority view, despite the earlier attempts at reform by Josiah (620 B.C.E.)….Scholars who have researched other aspects of pre-exilic Israelite religion also stress the great continuity with Canaanite religion and culture. H. C. Brichto (1973), Alberto Green (pp. 156-87), George Heider (1985), John Day (1989, pp. 29-71), Susan Ackerman (1992, pp. 101-63; 1993), and Jon Levenson (pp. 3-52, 111-24) conclude that infant sacrifice was an integral part of the Israelite cult until Josiah’s reform, and it may have involved the worship of an underworld chthonic deity of healing and fertility, Molek, in a cult of the dead (the Rephaim). Perhaps infants were sacrificed directly to Yahweh. …Susan Ackerman (1989; 1992; 1993) concludes that Asherah worship, fertility rites, child sacrifice, the cult of the dead, and the worship of several deities were practiced commonly as a normal part of Yahweh religion and that necromancy, child sacrifice, and fertility rites endured into the post-exilic era…Some further maintain that we must assess critically our definitions of monotheism in Israel as well as our characterization of its emergence both in theory and in our pedagogical literature (Halpern 1987; Petersen; Fishbane, pp. 49-63; Dearman, pp. 35-50). Michael Coogan (pp. 115-16) proposes that we consider biblical religion as a subset of Israelite religion and Israelite religion as a subset of Canaanite religion’, so that the biblical faith may be seen as a ‘reconstruction’ out of the matrix of Canaanite religion…  (http://www.biblicalstudies.ru/OT/44.html)
There are too many gods in the bible to list in this article.  For a comprehensive list of all the gods in the bible check out

OUT OF THE CANAANNITE MATRIX

The belief in a God of Evil was replaced by the belief in all evil demon.
History of the Devil: Israel (http://www.sacred-texts.com/evil/hod/hod08.htm)

The root of biblical faith is a ‘reconstruction’ out of the matrix of Canaanite religion.  The Canaanites were indigenous to the lands that Israel would later call its own.  Like most ancient peoples living around the Mediterranean Sea, the middle-east and Persia, they not only worshipped a Pantheon of gods, but they were very careful to worship Molek who was known by a host of other names.

MOLECH THE DEVOURER

Before he was Satan or the Devil, the god of evil went by Molech, Molech the Devourer, Moloch, Chemosh, Ba’al, Beezebub, Cronos, Milcom, Melkarth, Baal-melech, Malcom, Milcom and other names as well throughout the bible lands.  Although some researchers say he was a god of fertility to some people and/or a fire god to others, he was also the god of the underworld and a god of human sacrifice.  In essence, almost all the peoples in the ancient biblical lands including the Israelites gave him human sacrifices, usually the first born, but there is evidence that other people of various ages were sacrificed, including virgins, prisoners of war, veiled capital punishments and more. Some Greek cities also worshipped him.

Plutarch, in his Life of Themistocles, tells us that just as the battle of Salamis was about to begin,”. . . Themistocles was offering sacrifice alongside the admiral’s trireme. Here three remarkably handsome prisoners were brought before him. . . At the very moment that Euphrantides the prophet saw them, a great bright flame shot up from the victims awaiting sacrifice at the altar and a sneeze was heard on the right, which is a good omen. At this, Euphrantides clasped Themistocles by the right hand and commanded him to dedicate the young men by cutting off their forelocks and then to offer up a prayer and sacrifice them all to Dionysus, the Eater of Flesh, for if this were done, it would bring deliverance and victory to the Greeks. Themistocles was appalled at this terrible and monstrous command from the prophet, as it seemed to him. But the people, as so often happens at moments of crisis, were ready to find salvation in the miraculous rather than in a rational course of action. And so they called upon the name of the god with one voice, dragged the prisoners to the altar, and compelled the sacrifice to be carried out as the prophet had demanded.”
(c. 13; tr., Ian Scott-Kilvert, Penguin Classics)
The name Molech in Hebrew probably means “to ascend the throne.” According to the Hebrew consonants in the ancient deity’s name, it might mean “the king”.
At http://dictionary.die.net/moloch, the author says Molech is “a tyrannical power to be propitiated by human subservience or sacrifice.” Ancient peoples obeyed him because they were terrified of him, his wrath and the destruction from his wrath.
Molech the Terrible had many more temples than the other gods of that time.  More, like the god of the bible, he had to be obeyed or terrible curses and things would befall those who offended him.  His tribute had to be paid in human blood.
Experience has shown no matter what we say, no matter what we point out, no matter how much evidence is given, it has no meaning for these creatures. They have one goal: to fool us into classifying them as human so they can concentrate on murdering our human values. Without human values, the next step is murdering human beings. – Amos M. Gunsberg
It doesn’t take a psychologist to recognize that Molech is a psychopath.  His personality, determined by his deeds and words, reveal this.
A psychopath is a person who has no conscience. They always leave destruction in their wake.  They lie, cheat, steal, cause trouble for excitement and do other evil things as well, including murder, whether indirectly (usually through third-person means) or directly (more rare than indirectly).
Psychopaths are people who use manipulation, violence and intimidation to control others and satisfy their selfish needs. They can be intelligent and highly charismatic, but display a chronic inability to feel guilt, remorse or anxiety about any of their actions.
Five to six percent of the human population are psychopaths.  Most psychopaths are males, but there is a small minority that are female.
Most psychopaths are born that way but psychopathy can happen when a person gets a head injury or trauma as an infant or small child.  Most psychopaths remain hidden to us because they operate under a “Mask of Sanity.”  On the surface, they look like everyone else.  They “act” sane, but inside their psyche, their world is totally different than ours.  Their world is a world of evil thoughts and dreams.
Psychopaths are hard to identify as many wear a “Mask of Sanity” to keep their twisted behavior and view of the world as secret as possible.  These psychopaths don’t bother general society, but take out their evil on people close to them like family and co-workers.
Henry See writes about psychopaths “Whether we like to admit it or not, there are those who have no conscience, the psychopath, man’s main predator, but a predator that looks exactly like its prey, the predators that move invisibly throughout society feeding off of the weak and ignorant. In the case of psychopaths, for too long we have all lived in ignorance because this oh, so clever predator has worked very hard to make sure that we are not even aware of his existence and his wiles and ways of attack… (http://www.sott.net/signs/maharaji.php)
There is a book you can read for free about psychopathy and these “invisible” psychopaths.  It’s called The Mask of Sanity by Hervey Cleckley, M.D.   A psychiatrist, he was one of the first professional people to understand the hidden psychopathy in society.  The book is at http://www.cassiopaea.org/cass/sanity_1.PdF
Cleckley speculates in his book on what is “really wrong” with these people. He comes very close to suggesting that they are human in every respect – but that they lack a soul.
Then there are the “secondary psychopaths”, people born with consciences but lose them as a consequence of living in psychopathic societies.  America is a good example of this.  These people become so corrupted by evil that they begin to lose their consciences and act like the devil/molech/satan.
The “natural” psychopaths are the most dangerous ones.  More, because of their aggression, manipulative behavior, risk taking and lack of conscience, many psychopaths find ways to work their way up into all the hierarchies of institutions and power of the world (religion, government, military, business, so forth) so they can control people plus force their dark psychopathic world on everyone.
Judaism and its “spin-off” religions, Christianity and Islam, are particularly suited to the crafty schemes of psychopathy.  This has resulted in social and economic effects, thus a cultural effect, for the past several thousand years to promote, influence, force, propagate and sustain a psychopathic world, institutionally, literally, metaphorically and spiritually.
The percentage of psychopathy is higher in the US and western countries for another reason: Western style capitalism attracts and selects for psychopathy.  It seems that psychopathic economics and a strong belief in a psychopathic god of the bible make people more evil, thus psychopathic.

HUMAN SACRIFICE

It [religion] is a history of wickedness that has served to corrupt and brutalize mankind; and, for my part, I sincerely detest it as I detest everything that is cruel.
– Thomas Paine

You can’t understand much about ancient middle-eastern religions without learning about human sacrifice.

The man walked down the path, his first-born son in his arms. His wife trailed behind, trying to hide her tears. The valley ahead was still too far off for him to see their destination, but the smoke rising in the distance assured him that all was ready. The dusty soil swirled around their feet as they walked, evidence of the extended drought upon the land. Eventually they reached the rim of the basin and started down the narrow path. Below them, they could see the idol and the crowd around it. They continued to the floor of the valley and approached the statue.

The drums began to pound slowly, with the beat increasing in frequency and volume as the man approached the statue with its extended arms. The throng began to dance and shriek with anticipation. The man paused a few steps from the idol. He could hear his wife behind him, begging him not to do what was required. He clenched his jaw and approached the red-hot hands of Molech. This close to the statue, the pain in his heart was joined by the agony of heat on his exposed skin.

He took a breath of stifling air, raised his boy to heaven and tossed him into the hands of his god. The pounding drums and the singing of the people behind nearly covered the screams of his son, just a few feet away. The boy thrashed on the heated brazen hands, trying to escape their searing touch. Finally, mercifully, he rolled down the arms and into the hollow statue filled with fire. (http://king-of-fools.com/blog/weblog/posts/molech/)

Human sacrifice is as old as time.  Since the dawn of man, human sacrifice has been practiced at different times all over the world. Among the list of ancient nations who performed human sacrifices were the Ethiopians, the Babylonians, the Assyrians, the Phoenicians, the Canaanites, the Ammonites, the Scythians, the Egyptians, the Chinese, the Persians, the Indians, the Gauls, the Carthaginians, the Britons, the Arabians, the Romans, Africans, peoples of the Americas and of course, the ancient Hebrews.
Many scholars have discovered and/or conjectured the reasons behind ancient human sacrifice.  Some call it infanticide to curb population growth, other scholars try to say that ancient peoples were superstitious and thus performed these blood rites.
A tremendous portion of the Old Testament is a chronicle of geneaologies, genocide, regicide (the sacrifice of the sacred king) and animal/human sacrifice. Bloodlust, including a blood-lusting god, constitutes a significant portion of the bible.  Blood ritual is fundamental to the god of the bible and its related Abrahamic religions.  Some blood sanctifies while some blood defiles.
This endless need for the bible god to be propitiated by blood is also reflected in the New Testament Epistle to the Hebrews: “Indeed, under law almost everything is purified with blood, and without the shedding of blood there is no forgiveness of sins.” (Heb. 9:22)
THE BIBLE
One of humanity’s oldest histories is perhaps also the bloodiest, filled with tales of mass murder and torture.  These murders were usually committed to seize land and peoples in efforts to secure fuel and resources.  The Jews of the Old Testament, led by Moses, began an era of genocide as they acquired their Promised Land.  The practice of invading and annihilating the inhabitants of Biblical lands, with the approval of the Jewish God, is a predominant Old Testament theme.

“During a few extraordinary decades of spiritual ferment and political agitation toward the end of the seventh century BCE, an unlikely coalition of Judahite court officials, scribes, priests, peasants, and prophets come together to create a new movement.  At its core was a sacred scripture of unparalleled literary and spiritual genius.  It was an epic saga woven together from an astonishingly rich collection of historical writings, memories, legends, folk tales, anecdotes, royal propaganda, prophecy, and ancient poetry.  Partly an original composition, partly adapted from earlier versions and sources, that literary masterpiece would undergo further editing and elaboration to become a spiritual anchor not only for the descendants of the people of Judah but for communities all over the world.” “The Bible Unearthed; Archaeology’s New Vision of Ancient Israel and Origin of Its Sacred Text,” by Israel Finkelstein and Neil Asher Silverman, pgs. 1-2

From the beginning, ideological justifications were invented and contrived by the Judahites to make it seem that naked theft of land and belongings of others was not so naked and that murders of non-Jews were just.  The ancient Judahites justified the murders and/or violence by painting their enemies (who were wiped out, enslaved or forced to migrate somewhere were else) impure, worshipping the wrong god/s or subhuman. The people on the wrong end of weaponry were thus made exploitable/expendable and the ancient Jews could then commit their awesome crimes against others or each other with clear consciences.

According to the bible and bible “interpretations”, it seems the “perfect” God of the bible decided to reveal his wishes in this imperfect, indecipherable amalgam of books written in the imperfect language of imperfect man, that has been translated, edited, copied, interpreted, voted on, “reinvented” and related to by imperfect man.

If the bible is truly “divinely inspired” and the absolute “true word of god,” then why does the bible and its stories resemble other, older stories from other older religions in the area?  Could the writers behind the bible plagiarized from those other religions?

The bible is an astro-theological literary hybrid.  The authors of Genesis picked up parts of their stories from the Egyptians, Greeks, Romans, Babylonians, and other middle-eastern peoples.

The Babylonian text “The Epic of Galgamesh” and the Hebrew story are essentially identical with about 20 major points in common. Their texts are obviously linked in some way. Either: Genesis was copied from an earlier Babylonian story, or The Galgamesh myth was copied from an earlier Hebrew story, or both were copied from a common source that predates them both.
The writers of the bible also got their “information” from Hindu legends of the creation and early history of humanity. Stories of Hindu heroes Adimo, Heva, Sherma, Hama and Jiapheta apparently were replicated into legends about Adam, Eve, Shem Ham, and Japeth.

There are so many contradictions in the bible, religious forgers/editors/defrauders couldn’t fix them all so the bible would be more seamless and coherent.  Hundreds of contradictions slipped through.  I have a list of 143 and I will list the first eleven:
1. God is satisfied with his works (Gen 1:31
). God is dissatisfied with his works (
Gen 6:6
).
2. God dwells in chosen temples
(2 Chron 7:12,16).
God dwells not in temples
(Acts 7:48
).
3. God dwells in light (1Tim 6:16
). God dwells in darkness
(1 Kings 8:12/ Ps 18:11/ Ps 97:2
).
4. God is seen and heard
(Ex 33:23/ Ex 33:11/ Gen 3:9,10/ Gen 32:30/ Is 6:1/
Ex 24:9-11).
God is invisible and cannot be heard
(John 1:18/ John 5:37/ Ex 33:20/1 Tim 6:16).

5. God is tired and rests
(Ex 31:17
).  God is never tired and never rests
(Is 40:28).

6. God is everywhere present, sees and knows all things
(Prov 15:3/Ps 139:7-10/Job 34:21-22). God is not everywhere, neither sees nor knows all things
(Gen 3:8/Gen 11:5
/Gen 18:20-21).
7. God knows the hearts of men
(Acts 1:24/Ps 139:2-3
). God tries men to find out what is in their heart
(Deut 13:3/ Deut 8:2/ Gen 22:12).

8. God is all powerful
(Jer 32:27/Matt 19:26).
God is not all powerful
(Judg 1:19).

9. God is unchangeable
(James 1:17/ Mal 3:6/ Ezek 24:14/ Num 23:19
).  God is changeable
(Gen 6:6/ Jonah 3:10/1 Sam 2:30-31/2 Kings 20:1,4-6/Ex 33:1, 3, 14, 17
).
10. God is just and impartial
(Ps 92:15/ Gen 18:25/ Deut 32:4/ Rom 2:11/ Ezek 18:25).
God is unjust and partial
(Gen 9:25/Ex 20:5/Rom 9:11-13/Matt 13:12).

11. God is the author of evil
(Lam 3:38/ Jer 18:11/Is 45:7/Amos 3:6/ Ezek 20:25).
God is not the author of evil
(1 Cor 14:33/ Deut 32:4/ James 1:13).

For thousands of years, the books of the bible have been copied, altered, translated into other languages (thus losing some of the original meaning), edited, “reinterpreted”, so forth.  This was done in various places in the ancient world and the medieval world.  The scribes in Memphis, Jerusalem, Greece, so forth, and the “illuminated” monks did not connect much or at all with each other to compare texts.

Followers of the bible have been taught that the bible is the “perfect word of God” and those persons behind it were “divinely inspired.”  I’m a theologian and I’ve never found any “proof” of any “divine inspiration” behind the book, unless it is divine inspiration of a corrupt, ancient group of people uplifting an evil god.  Why would someone do something like that?  Follow the power, follow the wealth and understand the original writers of the bible, the Judahites.

THE JUDAHITE PRIESTS AND SCRIBES,  THE “CREATORS” OF THE BIBLE

‘How can you say that you are wise and that you have the LORD’s teachings? The scribes have used their pens to turn these teachings into lies. Jeremiah 8:8  GOD’S WORD® Translation (©1995)

If you could go back in time in a time machine to biblical times in ancient Israel, you would see a world completely different from the one usually described by clerics in the pulpit.  Not every Israelite lived in tents in the desert.  Some lived in cities and one city was Jerusalem, populated mostly by Judahites. They had “civilizations” back then.

Thousands of years ago, scribes and others from corrupt priest classes gathered and transcribed the biblical texts for various reasons, including strengthening the priest classes (wealth and power), providing a “model” system (elite-male hierarchal dominator model) for control of the people (behavior modification).  Learning from other religions and gods at that time, the Judahites designed, created and implemented a tool to  terrorize people into believing/worshipping/ tithing/sacrificing to the god of their collection of books.  They wanted to sow a war-god world, to sow racism, genocide, “justifiable homicide” and misogyny, so forth.  As in all religions past and present, there were psychopaths in power and this probably explains why it is such a psychopathic manual for a psychopathic world.

If you sit down and cull out all the wise sayings (learned by many peoples of the world-not just ancients of the bible world), genealogies, “inspirational” prayers and love songs, all you have a Black Book of Murder and Human Sacrifice.  If there ever was a book to justify rape, war, authoritarianism, elite patriarchies and their systems, destruction of cities and nations, desecration of the dead, torture, suffering, materialism, nationalism/racism (“chosen people syndrome”), self-sacrifice for the wrong reasons, so forth, it is the bible.  The bible and its god create homicide minds and a homicide world.

Like many other people living in the heart of ancient bible lands, the Judahites worshipped more than one god, including their favorite and the one they feared the most, Molech.  Theological literature abounds with this fact and also another Big Fact: the Judahites sacrificed their first-born children to Molech.

When the Judahites put the Pentateuch together, they wanted to create a set of books that would unite them as a group politically and spiritually, plus socially control the people.  Fear and terror are proven tools to control people.  A god of fear and terror makes people obey their religious and political leaders better than a god of love and justice. And if you’ve got psychopaths calling the shots (they infest all realms of power), these “holy” books are unholy.

The Judahites also probably found it utilitarian to use monotheism for their bible, than the polythesim they practiced.  Why emphasize one “bigger,” “more powerful” one?  Monthesim is easier to explain and reinforce than polythesim.  To explain one god is very complicated.  To explain more than one god is incredibly complicated.  More, if you’ve got one god, there’s no competition for worship between gods.  With a  “Supreme God,” running the show of life, people have to do what he says or what his agents on earth say.  They can’t run down the street to another temple and obey the directives of another god who might be nicer.

Moloch was the god the Judahites’ decided to chronicle and lift up.  When people are faced with a big choice of who you pick as the “One” God, the odds are that people will pick their favorite god or the one they find that mirrors them more in beliefs, values, ideals, culture and future.

Molech was an authoritarian like the Judahites were.  Molech invoked terror in the masses and the Judahites knew they could roll this terror into making the Israelites obey him, the king and the priest class.

It is very probable that the Judahites thought they would get extra “blessings” or goodies like wealth and power from Molech/Moloch if they raised him up and made him the “Supreme God” of their literature. Make Molech the supreme god, give him “kiddie snacks” (sacrifice of children), flatter him by worshipping and praising him, feed him other human and animal blood as well, obey his commands and he’ll cut loose with “blessings”, including blessings for the corrupt, psychopathic priest class.

Here is an incomplete list of why the Judahites promoted Moloch (aka Satan) as their one god:

• To elevate an imperfect, psychopathic evil god to the status of a “perfect” and supreme god while elevating the culture, worldview, systems of this god and his religion on the earth

• To unite the Jewish people with a history they never had

• To give Jewish people a special status above all others as the “Chosen of God”

• To unite the “tribes of Israel” into one “nation” under the political body of the Judahites

• Make people dependent on priests, “heroes”, kings, patriarchs and corrupt, psychopathic leaders to solve the questions and problems of life, society, civilization and the spirit.

• To legitimize, justify and establish a system of kings and their priests to rule over all the Israelites

• To force authoritarianism on the other Israelites (Judhahites were authoritarian while the other groups were more democractic)

• To exploit, capitalize, terrorize and extort a superstitious population to accept the Judahite priests’ chosen god (the god that would  give the Judahites what they wanted)

• To destroy and to replace original religions so the god of the bible (and its priest class) will reign over every one and every thing

• To remove spiritual/occult knowledge from the populace so that power could be kept in the hands of a few to manipulate and enslave the masses

• To start, control, build and set standards of a universal religion

•  To lay the foundations for a concrete Israel Nation by the deaths of others and the theft of others’ lands

• To entrench human sacrifice, something that was very dear to the Judhahites (although many scholars will say that human sacrifice has been died out in the modern world, I believe it has only gone underground or is disguised as something else like war, genocide, capital punishment, victims of poverty and hunger, so forth)

• To justify, legitimize and entrench established ancient desert male hierarchies as the epitome of all systems (forces a class and power system where elite males rule at the top and women, children, slaves and other “worthless people” suffer at the bottom with no social, religious or economic power)

• To control people from the inside to the out (when people are controlled from the inside, they are easier to control on the outside)

• To justify and entrench evil and evil systems of the world emanating from the bible as something “good”

* To justify, enforce and “legalize” state murder, suffering, plundering of nations, genocide, rape, wars, so forth, by “god’s elect”

• To legalize disenfranchisement, torture, punishment and/or murder against anyone who won’t bow to the god of the bible or his priests and regents (representatives)

• To get tithes of money and blood (human and/or animal sacrifice) for Judahite temples  and priest class

• To influence history and society throughout human history (makes the Judhahites immortal)

• To explain their world as they either understood it or wanted it to be

• To directly or indirectly force the Judahite priests’ will on people

• To create a false reality (when people live in false realities they are easier to control)

• To create an extremely powerful subliminal tool full of occult numbers, messages, allegories and metaphors (with stolen spiritual material from other ancient religions) to disempower and hypnotize people to obey Yahweh

• Censor/disappear/hide anything that does not support and justify the status quo that emerges from the bible

• Indoctrinate the the  masses into a slave-like mentality of servitude for complete obedience

• To control sexuality (dominant male model to dominate over females while at the same time, control of sexuality corrupts people psychologically, mentally, physically and spiritually and when people are corrupted, they are sick and thus easier to control)

• To discourage independent Soul Building

• To discourage independent thinking

• People and their consciences are easier to control when they are corrupted by evil

• A  universal religion means universal control (a death religion gives this more mystical power)

THE GOD OF THE BIBLE (AND TORAH AND KORAN)

“And in that day, says the Lord, you will call me, ‘My Husband,’ and no longer will you call me, ‘My Ba’al.’ For I will remove the names of the Ba’als from her mouth, and they shall be mentioned by name no more.” Hosea 2:16

The god of the bible is a collective male super-ego.  He is a conceited, petty, jealous, cruel, dominant, aggressive, violent, violence-loving, homicidal, narcissistic, selfish psychopathic entity who loves only war, blind obedience, human suffering, human sacrifice, the destruction of women and his “enemies”, and complete subservience/slavery of people to him and his directions/commands.
Somehow the patriarchal oppression by the god of the bible and his “servants” is supposed to make a better people and a better world .  Thus, this god expects people to adore and praise him for “his good works” when his works are of destruction and self-destruction, not construction.
You can find 859 biblical examples of cruelty and violence of the god of the bible at http://skepticsannotatedbible.com/cruelty/long.html
Richard Dawkins, author of The God Delusion, summed up believers in the Abrahamic god as, “a tribal cult of a single fiercely unpleasant God, morbidly obsessed with sexual restrictions, with the smell of charred flesh, with his own superiority over rival gods, and with the exclusiveness of his chosen desert tribe.”
The god of the bible not only DEMANDS that people worship him, but DEMANDS that they BLINDLY OBEY him and his worldly “officers”.  Deuteronomy is full of “consequences” to those that don’t worship and OBEY the “Lord” and his “Official Representatives.”  Notice that it is the “Lord” God Himself is the one who curses and the one who punishes!

These passages are from Deuteronomy, Chapter 28.  Notice how often the god of the bible is called “Lord”, the name the god Molech/Ba’al was always addressed as:

15 – “But if you will not obey the voice of the LORD your God or be careful to do all his commandments and his statutes which I command you this day, then all these curses shall come upon you and overtake you.
16 – Cursed shall you be in the city, and cursed shall you be in the field.
17 – Cursed shall be your basket and your kneading-trough.
18 – Cursed shall be the fruit of your body, and the fruit of your ground, the increase of your cattle, and the young of your flock.
19 – Cursed shall you be when you come in, and cursed shall you be when you go out.
20 -”The LORD will send upon you curses, confusion, and frustration, in all that you undertake to do, until you are destroyed and perish quickly, on account of the evil of your doings, because you have forsaken me.
21 – The LORD will make the pestilence cleave to you until he has consumed you off the land which you are entering to take possession of it.
22 – The LORD will smite you with consumption, and with fever, inflammation, and fiery heat, and with drought, and with blasting, and with mildew; they shall pursue you until you perish.
25 – The LORD will cause you to be defeated before your enemies; you shall go out one way against them, and flee seven ways before them; and you shall be a horror to all the kingdoms of the earth.
27 – The LORD will smite you with the boils of Egypt, and with the ulcers and the scurvy and the itch, of which you cannot be healed.
28 – The LORD will smite you with madness and blindness and confusion of mind;
29 – … and you shall not prosper in your ways; and you shall be only oppressed and robbed continually, and there shall be no one to help you… (Deut.28:15-29)

APOLOGISTS

“The Christian resolve to find the world evil and ugly, has made the world evil and ugly.”
- Friedrich Nietzsche

In all established theologies, there are the “apologists” who work to smooth over, bridge, interpret and/or “reinterpret” the discrepancies of a religion, including “holy” books.  Somehow these males (until modern times they were always males and females are rare in this field) are “experts” and are sold as being somehow mystically imbued with some special “divinity”, expertise, education and intelligence to “reconcile” the hypocrisies, contradictions, conflicts, controversies, original “intentions” and/or thinking, dogma, semantics, dogma, allusions, metaphors, allegories, theories, origins, histories and other problems that constantly crop up and cast doubt on the established beliefs of a religion.

Apologists try to “bait and switch” by admitting that the god of the bible is flawed and then change the subject or monologue to something positive in the bible.  Apologists will deemphasize god’s defects and emphasize the other “wise” and “good things” of the bible.  Indeed, the bible is full of quotes, antidotes, advice, songs and poetry, but the bible is about a primary deity, his will and his inflexible commands to humanity.

Apologists are the public relations arm of religions, too, because after apologists change one thing into another thing, they’re part of the heavy propaganda that sells the “apologized” solutions, philosophies and “elder thought” to the rest of the flock so the flock no longer questions whatever was questioned.

Ancient bible apologist scribes tried to soften a god of evil in later books of the bible or make him a composite of the many gods worshipped in bible lands, but the paradox is that you can’t turn an evil god into a good one or turn an evil god into a god of multiple personalities.  But these alchemists of religious thought  still try to turn shit into sugar anyway!

The Pentateuch is the bedrock of Judaism, Christianity and Islam.  Therefore, the god of these five books of the bible is the principal god of these religions.  You can paint him anything you want later on like the Christians have done in the New Testament, but he remains evil.  Evil is evil.  Evil remains evil under the paint and/or under all the apologies of apologists.

THE WORLD HAS BEEN DUPED FOR MILLENNIA

“As we have seen over and over, ‘Jehovah’ is none
other than Satan the Devil. Those who worship that god,
‘The God of this Age,’ and fill their mind with tales of
its impotent rage, begin to display such behavior
themselves. Again I point the reader to the Christian
Right, as well as Christian history, for confirmation of
my claim. It is only logical that we would become like
that which we worship, that which we give the highest
place in our minds and hearts. Those who worship
Jehovah/Satan pose a continuous real threat to the lives
of each other and to those of us who do not worship
their nasty god. Christian and Jewish history (and today’s
news.) are overflowing with examples of the savagery of
those who have filled their minds and hearts with the
Jehovah/Satan fiend.” – Rev. Nathaniel J. Merritt, Jehovah Unmasked, Chapter 17

The god of the bible is not a good god.  He is not a good role model for people to emulate and the bible is not a good model for humanity unless humanity wants to be evil.
“Whenever we read the obscene stories, the voluptuous debaucheries, the cruel and torturous executions, the unrelenting vindictiveness with which more than half the Bible is filled, it would be more consistent that we called it the work of a demon than the word of God. It is a history of wickedness that has served to corrupt and brutalise mankind; and for my part, I sincerely detest it as I detest everything that is cruel.”
Thomas Paine – Revolutionary, Co-founder of Modern Democracy
The following is a quote from the Mormon Bible Dictionary’s definition of Satan. “One of the major techniques of the devil is to cause human beings to think they are following God’s ways, when in reality they are deceived by the devil to follow other paths.” The bible is the perfect way to get people to think they are following god when in many instances, they are following evil.

“All that is necessary, as it seems to me, to convince any reasonable person that the Bible is simply and purely of human invention — of barbarian invention — is to read it. Read it as you would any other book; think of it as you would of any other; get the bandage of reverence from your eyes; drive from your heart the phantom of fear; push from the throne of your brain the cowled form of superstition — then read the Holy Bible, and you will be amazed that you ever, for one moment, supposed a being of infinite wisdom, goodness and purity, to be the author of such ignorance and of such atrocity.” Robert G. Ingersoll 1833-1839 – US Statesman, Freethinker, Humanitarian

If you look at the bible as just a book, you will see the true genius and genesis of evil.  Satan/Molech, the “father of the lie” and the Great Imposter has duped many of the world’s people for millennia by taking the mantle of a “good god”!

“The Word of God has shaped the history of our culture.”
– Karen Armstrong, A History of God, page xxiii
Now you know why the world has been so evil for so long and is getting more evil. Now you know why your conscience always hurt when you read that ancient book. Preachers will tell you that Satan is the “god of this world.”  This is true and ironically, they are selling this god.

With the help of the Judahites and other  similar scribes of other religions, Satan has become the god of this world.  That doesn’t mean that we should worship him or obey him or his priests.  To do this is to become corrupted by evil.

Instead of looking to others and religions for a god, it’s time to look for where the real and hidden good god dwells: within ourselves.  That is where the Divine Spark begins for the majority of people who are born with a conscience.

The ancient Greek philosopher Socrates taught his students that the pursuit of truth can only begin once they start to question and analyze every belief that they ever held dear. If a certain belief passes the tests of evidence, deduction, and logic, then it should be kept. If it doesn’t pass the tests, the belief should not only be discarded, but the thinker must also then question why he was led to believe the erroneous information in the first place.

Spirituality is a Great Work that takes effort.  It takes time and work. Healthy spirituality is a journey and it is a personal one.

As for natural psychopaths – those born with no conscience –well, they have their own god and he is everywhere still shaping the history of our culture.
