Articles of faith...or stupidity part 7

We believe in the gift of tongues, prophecy, revelation, visions, healing, interpretation of tongues, and so forth.


Ya know...I just call this being fucking crazy!


Let's think about this for a minute...if you were to walk up to or someone walked up to you and started babbling in random languages, and you know for a fact this person could only speak the same language as you, there should be only ONE thought going through your head "What...the fuck...is wrong with him/her?" Speaking in "tongues" as they put it is just a religious way to justify either stupidity or insanity....probably both.


As far as prophecy, revelations, visions and such...I have them to, however, I know when I'm in a dream...be it a night time dream or daydreaming. Anyone who has had such a vision, I would challenge them to tell me a few things...such as what they were doing when this occurred, what were they thinking of, was it at night when most people are asleep. If they could answer these and a few more and prove without ANY doubt that they were not tired, delusional, high, or were recently hit in the head...then I'll ask them to tell me what's going to happen...if it happens, I'll consider it but it MUST happen a MINIMUM of 3 times otherwise I WILL dismiss it as a simple little case of dejavu and that they imagined it.


interpretation of tongues...well...first off if the person is SPEAKING in the tongues we already know they're fucking psychotic. Now...for a person to say they understand the random babbling...that person is even more insane than the idiot who's doing the babbling...it's like watching a VERY bad Abbot and Costello skit. Sadly, people still think that this is an amazing god given skill...honestly...if someone speaks to me in just one other language, I'll learn that language and speak to them. But if that person is speaking several at the same time, you better bet your ass that I'll be calling the men in white.


Healing...well fuck, that's simple, go see a fucking doctor! >_< With the semi-recent news of faith-based healing deaths...it's obvious that wishing (as that's all a prayer is at the simplest level) for someone to get well isn't effective at all. Hell, when I was in the hospital back in August, people wished me well...did I get better any faster...nope, I still can't walk on my left leg...I even think some people in my neighborhood prayed for me to get better...without asking me either...bastards =_=

Articles of faith...or stupidity part 6

We believe in the same organization that existed in the Primitive Church, namely, apostles, prophets, pastors, teachers, evangelists, and so forth.


Sadly they do...what makes it sad is that they even believe that if you DON'T believe in this the exact same way as you, you've got a one way trip to outer darkness.


The thing that's also reallllly scary about this, is that they teach you NOT to challenge what you are taught, who teaches you, otherwise you'd be committing the equivalent to heresy. >_> umm...what? how in the fuck is that the same? That's just like the usual contrite argument that the religutards say that allowing same sex marriage will lead to legalized paedophilia as well.


Besides, the ONLY place that these people get their authority to do what they do is from the sky tyrant. So, how does this make it authentic that you have authority here on Earth...oh...wait...it doesn't because the burden of truth lies with them and they can't produce any sort of logical argument as to the existence of their blood thirsty asshole sky tyrant.


Now, the other thing that they'd have to do as the primitive church did, was be in hiding...cause around 1CE xians were considered scum by the romans (and I wouldn't doubt the greeks too) and weren't looked upon in a positive light. Guess that means the semi-ancient Romans (and maybe Greeks) weren't too thrilled with these ridiculous ideas back then...as we shouldn't be tolerant of them now either!
