20 reasons to abandon christianity.

I am not God yet. I am just in training.

"I want to know God's thoughts. The rest are details." ----Albert Einstein

Dalai Lama:You are just a gnat in the maker's eye. When he blinks you will reach Nirvana. You may be disappointed. You might just end up on a monkey's nose.

Above right (Jesus here. I have gone South Indian.) When I said "Father they know not what they do." I meant to say they are like a lot of chickens running around with their heads chopped off." Meanwhile here was me nailed up on this bloody cross wanting a drink of water and the buggers gave me vinegar.

Did I die to save those drongos? Not bloody likely, mate.

Another reason is how great it is to lie in bed Sunday morning, hearing the church bells peal and knowing all the other suckers are rushing off to listen to that "religious" nonsense and singing off-key.

20 reasons to abandon christianity.

* "Give me some shekels for the temple and you can do it to me. You won't be sorry!" A Phoenician ivory plaque showing the goddess Ishtar. Hindu elephant god."Come dance with me, Varanasi mode and while we are at it, let's do a bit of kundalingi yoga elephant style."

All religions have their ridiculous side. Hinduism worships rats, elephants and an evil woman (Kali) as well as the monkey and a host of other things. I don't think they worship the mosquito, though a Jain will not kill one and covers his mouth so he will not accidentally eat a fly..

1. However the elephant does not walk on water or the rat turn water into wine. Instead of an evil woman Christianity worships Mary who was visited by an Angel and got pregnant though she never had sex with her husband and was a virgin when she gave birth.

Whores of Babylon.In addition to the activities of the sacred temple whores, there were sacramental sexual initiations of a slightly different character. The Greek historian Herodotus (3 BC) tells us: 'Babylonian custom... compels every woman of the land once in her life to sit in the temple of love and have intercourse with some stranger... the men pass and make their choice. It matters not what be the sum of money; the woman will never refuse, for that were a sin, the money being by this act made sacred. After their intercourse she has made herself holy in the sight of the goddess and goes away to her home; and thereafter there is no bribe however great that will get her. So then the women that are tall and fair are soon free to depart, but the uncomely have long to wait because they cannot fulfil the law; for some of them remain for three years or four. There is a custom like this in some parts of Cyprus.' *The tower of babel based on Babylonian. http://www.ishtartemple.org/sacredIshtar.htm Child sacrifice in ancient Israel: http://www.usbible.com/Sacrifice/sacrifice_israel.htm *
