Christianity

Secret Jewish belief system that destroyed Europe

...

Christianity started in the middle east. It has no place in Europe.

Old testament is trash but there's some real good shit I the New testament

Not that religion isn't garbage though

Christianity is utter shit.
They're not compatible, but christians do hold incompatible views anyway.

Jesus was a jewish conservative who was pissed at the corrupt roman-cock-sucking jewish officials and wanted to kick the romans out and was killed by them, like many others, for denying their power. Nothing leftist here.

The author of Matthew in 5:28 attributes these words to Jesus, "But I say to you, That whoever looks on a woman to lust after her has committed adultery with her already in his heart."

Since Jesus explicitly states that thinking about "committing a sin" is the same as actually doing it, His established church naturally usurps the state's rightful obligation to control expressions of antisocial behavior and legitimizes, even demands, that citizens' thinking be regulated.

The Christian Church is the role model of the totalitarian state.

The moral precepts of Jesus are sometimes interesting, sometimes poetic, sometimes benevolent, sometimes confusing, sometimes pernicious, and sometimes devastatingly harmful psychologically. To be moral, according to Jesus, man must shackle his reason. He must force himself to believe that which he cannot understand. He must suppress, in the name of morality, any doubts that surface in his mind. Less criticism leads to more faith - and faith, Jesus declares, is the hallmark of virtue.

The psychological impact of this doctrine is devastating. To divorce morality from truth is to turn man's reason against himself. Reason, as the faculty by which man comprehends reality and exercises control over his environment, is the basic requirement of self-esteem. Reason becomes a vice, something to be feared, and man finds that his worst enemy is his own capacity to think and question.

Further shackled with the bizarre catalog of sexual regulations and prohibitions inherited from Judaism, it is hard to imagine a more effective system to introduce perpetual conflict into man's consciousness and thereby produce the host of neurotic symptoms that men call religion.

Jesus was a faith healer who attracted a large following among the unsophisticated rustics of the rural, impoverished Galilee. He used magic to cure the sick and raise the dead. In our world, the dynamics of the faith healing phenomenon are understood. To Jesus’ superstitious contemporaries, it appeared this extraordinarily charismatic man was able to harness the supernatural powers that they wrongly imagined controlled every event on earth. In time, like Joseph Smith and a host of others, the acclaim Jesus received distorted his thinking, and he came to believe his own fraudulent claims of divine revelation.

Jesus was not a reformer or a champion of social justice. It is a mistake to project twenty-first century American political and social values onto first century Palestine. Jesus lived in a haunted world controlled by invisible spirits, in which the concept of individuality as we know it in America today simply did not exist. Jesus’ mission was to prepare his people for the end of times and the triumphant return of Yahweh, which he repeatedly stated would occur "before this generation has passed away." We know today that his allegedly great moral principles were not original with him, but were adaptations or paraphrases of contemporary Jewish thought cobbled together for the end times emergency. His unrealistic exhortations to “turn the other cheek”, to love one's enemies, to give away all one’s possessions and so on, clearly show his perspective that this world was about to pass away, so that practical strategies for daily living were no longer important.

Jesus was wrong in this his unique core belief and he suffered a gruesome fate on the cross for his delusion. As his poignant story was told and retold in the larger world beyond the Galilee, it became mixed with classic pagan religious motifs - divine paternity, virgin birth, a three-day stay in the underworld followed by a universally redeeming return to life, and more. These things would have been absolute heresy to the pious Jew who Jesus actually was.

Incidentally, the Yahweh cult of the Jerusalem Temple was but one of many faiths in the so-called holy land. Jesus’ Galilean ancestors, along with the peoples of coastal Edom, had been forcibly converted to Judaism around 120 BCE by Alexander Jannaeus, the Jewish priest-king of the aggressively expansionist Hasmonean dynasty in Jerusalem. He and his father sought (in an early version of Zionism) to impose their religious authority, on pain of death, on all people in the former Seleukid province they inherited from the Maccabees. His troops destroyed the cities of Pella, Samaria, Gaza, Gedarah and many others when they refused to accept conversion.

They're not incompatible, but if you try to set up a theocracy, my band of unionist egoist and I will destroy it.

Christianity is class collaboration bullshit. Jesus didn't want to free people from poverty, he literally wanted everyone to be poor, and he thought charity was a viable solution to people starving. This is a poor man's idea of leftism. I want everyone to be rich, not everyone to be poor. And I don't care about silly promises about magical sky gardens.

I'm gonna decide after reading The Kingdom of God is Within You by Tolstoy

All religions should be removed and made illegal.

Yeah but it can't take any sort of precedent, it can only serve as a backbone of sorts that's reinforces your believe in the justness of socialism.

Jesus never existed and was synthesized from several fictional and real figures from various disparate sects.

Abrahamic religion is a mental parasite, and Christianity is the worst of them all, because it elevates loving one's enemies to a virtue.

Lol fuck you

Point me to the Kantian-Hegelian churches?

Jewish apocalypse cult that made it big by allowing non-jewish converts

However the notion that you can get rid of religion is idiotic and usually only held by edgy Stirnerfags and anarkiddies

The institution of Christianity is bad.

What Jesus professed is good.

Follow Zizek

I s this from a chick tract?

Nice refutation, poor man.

you know, if you want to be snarky at least pick a philosopher that didn't write about christianity their whole life.

no problem with Jesus and his teachings, someone i'd probably say was a lefty.

Organized Religion has gone to shit though.

the amount of cheeto dust from this post made my keyboard filthy

My Christian faith is one of the primary reinforcers of my Leftism, and has only moved me further in that direction as time goes on.

(Debs was likely a Deist but he wrote several pieces expressing the value in the teachings of Christ in relation to socialism)

t. Tony Blair

Is it?

I'm not a Blairite tho?

I can only imagine Jesus would cry if he saw our current society. Hard to know what he truly believed though, the guy lived in a backwards ass time.
