Religion -- credibility ZERO!

Following hot on the heels of the Dalai Lama’s flagrant, hypocritical, political pursuits against China, the Catholic Pope – who gets by with a helping ‘hand’ from his friends – has updated the seven deadly sins.

For the benefit of the ignorant, feeble-minded, guilt-ridden, religious slaves out there, we have done a little research on the word “sin” in the context of the historical period!

The accurate translation of the (Aramaic/Hebrew) “SIN” simply means to be ‘out of step’ or ‘off the mark’ – now appreciate what the Catholics and others have done with that word, you guilt-ridden morons!

But the best is yet to come; a new contemporary sin is “obscene wealth!” It is interesting to note that one consistent feature in the New Testament is Jesus’ loathing of money and the rich! Perhaps the Catholic Church should teach by example and observe a central tenet of Christian doctrine, poverty!

We offer this cogent reminder directly from the Christian canon to highlight the flagrant hypocrisy of ALL MAJOR CHRISTIAN RELIGIONS!

Mark 10:17-30 (King James Version)

17And when he was gone forth into the way, there came one running, and kneeled to him, and asked him, Good Master, what shall I do that I may inherit eternal life?

18And Jesus said unto him, Why callest thou me good? there is none good but one, that is, God.

19Thou knowest the commandments, Do not commit adultery, Do not kill, Do not steal, Do not bear false witness, Defraud not, Honour thy father and mother.

20And he answered and said unto him, Master, all these have I observed from my youth.

21Then Jesus beholding him loved him, and said unto him, One thing thou lackest: go thy way, sell whatsoever thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come, take up the cross, and follow me.

22And he was sad at that saying, and went away grieved: for he had great possessions.

23And Jesus looked round about, and saith unto his disciples, How hardly shall they that have riches enter into the kingdom of God!

24And the disciples were astonished at his words. But Jesus answereth again, and saith unto them, Children, how hard is it for them that trust in riches to enter into the kingdom of God!

25It is easier for a camel [rope] to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God.

26And they were astonished out of measure, saying among themselves, Who then can be saved?

27And Jesus looking upon them saith, With men it is impossible, but not with God: for with God all things are possible.

28Then Peter began to say unto him, Lo, we have left all, and have followed thee.

29And Jesus answered and said, Verily I say unto you, There is no man that hath left house, or brethren, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or lands, for my sake, and the gospel's,

30But he shall receive an hundredfold now in this time, houses, and brethren, and sisters, and mothers, and children, and lands, with persecutions; and in the world to come eternal life.
