 The Revolutionary Organisation behind Jesus Christ
finn, Monday, Jun 11 2012, 3:32am
Don’t kid yourself children, Jesus was sent on his mission by an organised group that existed long before he was born. He was not a God or even possessed of supernatural powers but a healer of minds and souls and a very brave, charismatic social revolutionary; he could no more fly than any man or elephant could fly! The implausible/impossible fantasy aspects of the story are cultivated by organised religion to weaken and intimidate believers into obeying a supernatural ‘all-powerful’ being that seems always to require the assistance of men to do the simplest things. You see, all Gods are the product of the pens of scribes and propagandists. But Jesus is the exception; he was a man, a most inspiring social reformer.

 Pope Ratzinger: A Dead Spiritual Loss
fish, Thursday, Jun 9 2011, 12:10am
Recently the Roman Catholic Pope, in a failed PR exercise, took questions from children regarding God and Catholic theology; a nine year old girl put it straight to the Pontiff, ‘why is there so much suffering, hunger and war in the world?’ The Pope answered honestly, “I don’t know!” How’s that for a spiritually bankrupt FRAUD? The Pope’s only saving grace is that he answered the question honestly. (story and 1 comment and 1 image)

Free Yourself from Modern Religious Slavery
sadh, Sunday, May 29 2011, 1:31am
I would first refer to what appears to the ignorant to be a most enigmatic Christian parable; no doubt, it has puzzled theologians (morons) for centuries; however, its message is clear to some modern ‘scribes’ or writers – never forget the New Testament is a textual production written by skilled practitioners in the ART [of writing!] (story and 1 comment and 1 image)

Rapture and the Measureless Imbecility of Americans

Another America moron Christian fails to predict the end of the world, which was supposed to occur yesterday; there is no point in naming a single American Bible Bashing idiot -- the nation is full of them and even more BLIND believers who made thorough mindless moronic asses of themselves yesterday.

Fierce Female Deities
sadh, Monday, Jan 31 2011, 12:08am
Symbolism is universal language and serves to preserve hidden messages from the polluting reach of the profane that would otherwise desecrate intended meaning to suit their own purposes or particular agendas, much as the Nicean Council did with early Christian texts. According to the correspondence of the early Church Fathers, over 200 Gospels were in existence prior to the editing and burning of precious texts by the Nicean Council in 350 AD.
Today Christianity has but four Gospels, though others, which have lain buried for centuries, have recently been re-discovered. I therefore look to the ancient, respectful cultures of the EAST for valuable and hidden knowledge encoded in their symbolic, religious Art. (story and 2 comments and 4 images)

Christmas for Secularists
dion, Wednesday, Dec 22 2010, 9:12am
It’s that time of year again when Christians celebrate the birth of their saviour on the traditional winter solstice pagan calendar. That aside for the moment, it is remarkable how little Christians know about their religion. A good example is the outrageous consumerism and waste that occurs at this time of year, which would undoubtedly be condemned by the Christian saviour himself. Consider Jesus’ loathing of money and wealth; there is no record of Christ even carrying money, on the occasions the Gospels refer to money to illustrate a point, Jesus requests that it be brought to him! Aversion to money seems to be a widespread 'oversight' that affects most Christians and Christian theologians these days, especially the gold-laden Roman Catholic Church and other major Christian groups – brazen HYPOCRITES the lot of them!

Easter message: ‘Christianity,’ fast track to Hypocrisy!
sal, Saturday, Apr 3 2010, 9:24pm
It’s Easter again! Christian hypocritical leaders of all hues usually emerge from their insular burrows at this time to make statements to the mindless deniers and hypocrites that imagine they follow the teachings of RADICAL social REFORMER and LOVER of LOVE and man, Jesus Christ. Jesus is remembered by very few today as a despiser of VIOLENCE, money and temporal power!

Infighting highlights the FRAUD that is Christianity
fish, Monday, Jun 30 2008, 8:23pm
Regardless of social activity/institution we can count of conservatives to really disrupt and destroy. The Anglican Church is the latest example of conservatives creating schisms that promise to further weaken the Church. Well done, Dr Peter ‘arch-conservative’ Jensen and other Paulinist Archbishops of the destabilising FOCA faction! I would remind conservatives that Paul of the Epistles is NOT the Saviour; that position has always rested with Jesus of Nazareth. Paul saves no one; perhaps he even leads people to their ruin!

Dalai Fraud lands in Oz
fish, Tuesday, Jun 10 2008, 9:21pm
The meat-eating Dalai fraud has landed in Sydney and is no doubt tucking into an Aussie steak sandwich or perhaps local hosts have introduced this brazen religious hypocrite to the famous Oz mixed (meat) grill -- political pursuits require meat as fuel! However, anyone familiar with Buddhist philosophy would tell you – ‘you can’t have your Buddhist void and play politics too.’ The two incompatible pursuits are mutually exclusive but that ‘small’ matter hasn’t deterred our meat-eating Tibetan visitor – what a laugh, my dog’s hind leg is straighter than this man’s character!

Pope Hypocrite and religious envy syndrome
fish, Saturday, Apr 19 2008, 7:56am
In the most flagrant manner possible the Roman Catholic Pope, as if to compete with the recent brazen hypocrisy of the Dalai Fraud, ended a speech in the U.S. with Bush’s favourite concluding remark, “God bless America” – suck, suck! We are aware religious leaders live sheltered lives but the civilian death toll in Iraq, now exceeding one million, with an additional four million displaced persons and a totally ruined state, is difficult for even a Pope to ignore!

Retrograde Anglicanism exemplified by Sydney Archbishop
fish, Saturday, Mar 22 2008, 12:50am
It’s Easter, celebrated with eggs, sweet breads and other PAGAN fertility symbols, all of which herald the Spring Equinox in the Northern Hemisphere; a time of growth, renewal and regeneration – a very important event for early agrarian societies. However, the Anglican Archbishop of Sydney, ‘Dr’ Peter Jensen, seems to be unaware of the pagan origins of Easter celebrations; his Easter message this year contained a warning of the dangers of the “occult” or PAGAN RELIGION!

 Osiris and the Golden (Solar) phallus of ‘resurrection’
fish, Friday, Mar 21 2008, 12:55am
Easter! It’s that time of year again when Christian leaders (hypocrites) make public appearances and drivel religious inanities or refer to impossible social behaviours that no human being is able to observe for an extended period -- the flesh truly is weak! So weak in fact that it cannot fly (walk on water) or take life again after it has expired! Yet he is ‘risen’ indeed! (story and 3 images and 1 attached file)
