Thank You for praying for Me.

What???

 

Yes, this is the “I’m Spiritual, Not Religious” Blog. You didn’t go www.jesusloveyou.com by mistake. I’m still the old religion hater I’ve always been.

 

“Then why the hell thank people for praying for you, if you disdain religion so much? You know a Christian is going to pray to Christ/Jehovah/Yahweh for you, a Muslim to Allah etc. You don’t believe in any of that stuff!!”

 

You are correct!! Throw that man/woman a fish!!

 

But I have several reasons for writing this post. I write for several Blogs and participate in many on line religious discussions, overwhelmingly “Christian” where I am known to aggressively bait, harass and otherwise belittle participants as deluded, moron robots who can’t prove a thing they believe in.

 

Religion needs faith because it sorely lacks tangible facts.

 

At any rate, something occurred to me, after an interesting exchange on a discussion group with a participant who goes by “Taylor”. In my normal way, I had proved him dead wrong on some ridicules point he had made and finished up with calling him a deluded moron.

 

Well he shot insults back at me, of course with no hard facts to disprove any of my points. One of the participants made the comment that he was acting rather un-Christian and he responded that he was reacting in kind.

 

 He responded in kind? What about turning the other cheek? Mr. Super Christian should have known that the proper “Christian” response is to not respond in kind.

WWJD?

 

“Christians” usually take the bait, when I aggressively, and I might add intentionally prod them. Hook, line and sinker. This guy, Mr. Super Christian, “Taylor” was no exception.

 

What a fucking hypocrite, he “responded in kind”, his words.

 

Read my post on “Cognitive Dissonance”. His response was predictable.

 

But interestingly, there is always that minority of “Christians” who do not “respond in kind”, those who actually, (surprise, surprise) practice what they preach. They say they will “pray for me”.

 

I know this will shock you and is completely out of character for me, but these people are actually….well….nice.  I attack their strongly held beliefs with facts they cannot disprove and their reaction is to pray for me to see the light, to have Jesus come into my heart, whatever.

 

Incidentally, Jehovah’s Witnesses are the most aggressive, impolite, rude and insulting respondents to my posts. To be fair, since Jehovah’s Witnesses are my life’s experience, I do tend to target them frequently and because I am so well informed on their bullshit, I guess they get frustrated.

 

At any rate, it struck me that those very nice people, who live and act as Jesus would, will in fact pray for me.

 

I would say that, as a result of this blog, other blogs I write for and my many incursions into religious discussion groups, I am one of the most “prayed for” people you know. Oh, people pray for the President, their family etc., but I would venture a guess and say that I, in the past 2 years have had several thousand “Christians” say they will pray for me. And I appreciate that, I really do.

 

I am receptive to a super natural experience, a spiritual awakening. I am a Deist. I believe there is a God/intelligent design, I just don’t claim to know what he wants from us or from me. I so much want to know. I’m here, I’m ready, and I’m receptive.

 

But with the thousands of “Christians” praying to me and with my open and receptive mind, much to my disappointment………..nothing. Nada.  No visions, no revelations, no unexplained “supernatural” experiences…..nothing.

 

And it kind of pisses me off.

 

I would love to have a God, a “Jesus”, whoever, some super natural personage that is looking out for me, showing me the way, protecting me, helping me, loving me, guiding me………nothing.

 

Sorry guys, I got nothing. With all the “Christians” praying for me”, I got nothing.

 

I am receptive. Jehovah’s Witnesses will say, “Well, you don’t have the right heart condition”. Well fuck you, really fuck you in the ass, no, really fuck you, your mother and anyone else you like, fuck heads.

 

“Oh, you said fuck. Jehovah won’t respond to that”. Isn’t it the sinners that Jesus went to? What did he say? He said basically the sinners is where the redeemer belongs, helping them. Well, that’s me. Where the fuck are you?????

 

“The power of prayer” equals zero. I have hundreds if not thousands of “Christians” praying for me and I have yet to hear a word from “Jesus, Jehovah” or any such personage.

 

Religion is bullshit. Prayer is bullshit. The Bible is bullshit. Christianity and every other religion is total bullshit.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Hey, read this Post!!

First let me apologize for the lack of recent posts. I have received hundreds of emails and comments, but frankly I have been busy on other related projects. This is a short post as I get back into the swing of things. I will get to you, I promise.

If you think that your fiery condemnation of me in your recent comment was deleted, that is not the case. I don’t delete any comments. I do review them all and right now have many waiting. In fact, I am starting a religious discussion blog and will invite anyone to comment, details forthcoming. Say what you want. Tell me to go fuck myself, whatever. I won’t block your comment.

I draw the line at reference to anything violent (death threats, etc), child porn and dissing the Beatles. I mean, come on man, THE Beatles??? Ok, the Lennon/Yoko think was an anomaly, I’ll give you that. I actually have her solo album she did after John was killed. It’s indescribably ridicules. But the BEATLES???? Don’t diss the Beatles!!!!

I am not posting on Terry W’s Blog, as he has shut it down. Thanks to him for linking to this Blog. One of the Deist Blogs I was writing articles for became too much like an “organized religion”. I was asked to speak at a convention of Deists! It has never been my stated goal to “spread the word about Deism”. I am opposed to all organized religion and while many see Deism as a religion, I don’t. Tomato/tomato. At any rate, I will not write for that Blog, nor be a part of any type of organized religion.

I am finishing up my book, working title: “I’m Spiritual, Not Religious: Why Religion does not equal God and why God does not equal Religion”. It will likely be available as an eBook from this and other sites. I did submit it to publishers and I am presently in serious talks, so it may actually make it in print.

I, and/or a member of my loyal under paid staff (Please buy my book!!….LOL) have begun again the arduous but interesting process of increasing this blog’s traffic. As Bloggers know, there are many ways to do that. On this subject, religion, one of the most effective is to go to a religious discussion site, Q/A, whatever and stir up some shit. I even tell them I’m doing it and traffic always jumps anyway. Even with my recent hiatus from posting here, traffic is very good. Thanks to all you readers, supporters or detractors alike.

I guess Religious assholes continue to poke themselves in the eye, because it feels so good when they stop. As I said, one of my traffic building strategies is to go to a religious discussion site, Q/A, whatever and stir up some shit. Like I said, I even tell them I’m doing it and traffic always jumps anyway.

It’s unlikely that you could get the virgin to the volcano by telling her you were going to throw her in. But, as unlikely as it sounds, religious nut cases flock here after I poke and deride them and their improvable religious delusions.

And that is the subject of this post. The Grand Delusion continues. It’s the same on each site. It so entertaining to watch self righteous “Christians” all arguing different theologies from the same book.
Funny it doesn’t strike anyone as odd. “John says this….” Some one counters: “Oh yea, well 1 Peter says this…”
“Well, I call your 1 Peter and raise you a 1 Corinthians and an Ephesians”…and on and on.The Almighty God gives us a book that has as many interpretations as readers. Lots of different viewpoints from the same book. That’s something The Almighty would do. Give us a cryptic book that has spawned a thousand sects. Makes a lot of sense.

It’s always fun to watch “Christians” from different sects hit each other over the head with those scriptures from the same book. It’s sort of a Cyber Crusades or Inquisition.
I always wait for the debate to degenerate into some one calling Jehovah’s Witnesses a “Cult” and to have the Jo Ho’s tell you all what they really think, which is that all religions except them are part of Babylon the Great, The World Empire of False Religion.

I love to put this quote from the Witness literature up:

From the Watchtower, 9/1/89 page 19:”ONLY Jehovah’s Witnesses, those of the anointed remnant and the “great crowd,” as a united organization under the protection of the Supreme Organizer, have any Scriptural hope of surviving the impending end of this doomed system dominated by Satan the Devil.”

So while all these religious assholes, each on a different side of the multisided Biblical “truth” reply initially in such a fake cordial and polite way to each other, it inevitably breaks down into the Cult thing or what ever. Because after all is said and done, each “Christian” thinks that the benevolent loving God they worship is going to kill and/or punish in a most horrible way those who don’t believe as they do.

And the delusion continues.

…don’t forget to buy my book. Available soon!!!!!!!!! Watch this site!!!!!!!
