Is the Bible really God’s Word?

June 1st, 2012

By Robert Singer
BibleThe Bible is the most widely read book in history. The Book is either biblical disinformation, or the words of a jealous, sadistic, omniscient deity. Regardless of what you believe about the book, it needs to be studied because the Bible shaped the dispositions and beliefs of most of humanity. [1]

All or part of the Bible has been translated into more than 1,200 languages, and every year more copies of the Bible are sold than any other single book.

Whoever wrote the Bible understood "the science of historical motivation," (i.e., psychohistory – the study of psychology and history) and the principle of methodological individualism (Broadbeck; Danto; Mandelbaum).

Methodological individualism is the theory that "the ultimate constituents of the social world are individual people. Every complex situation, institution, or event is the result of a particular configuration and the interactions of groups - nations, political parties, gangs or tribes of individuals, their dispositions and beliefs, and physical resources and environments" (Danto, 267).

One does not have to be a scholar nor historian to realize the Bible cannot be the words of a benevolent, loving Judeo-Christian [monotheistic] God.

If you were God, would you admit to writing a book so full of sadism, contradictions and unmitigated nonsense?

An omnipresent, omnipotent, omniscient higher power wouldn’t write a book that resulted in mass confusion. Today there are 330,000 churches and 38,000 denominations in the U.S. alone, arguing about what was lost in the English translation of the Bible. [2]

Christians, especially the Evangelicals, believe the Bible is prophetic. God’s prophets allegedly are accurate 100 percent of the time when they claim specific events foretell the future, sometimes centuries, before they occur. However, the 2,000 prophecies that allegedly have been fulfilled to the letter without any errors cannot be verified, and that is before a discussion of how carbon dating cannot prove when the Bible was actually written.

Want more proof that God didn’t write, inspire, canonize or drop the Bible from heaven? Read Debunking Christianity, The Skeptic’s Annotated Bible or how The Bible was Put Together by Vote.

The “other” God

While I am positive God didn’t write the book, Satan, God’s adversary, might just be the one behind the disinformation in the Bible. [Appendix A]

Believers will admit that Satan rules the world through deception and sin [Rev 12:9], but suggesting that Satan wrote the Bible as an ingenious way to deceive the masses gives Christians a case of religious Cognitive Dissonance (CD). CD is the discomfort felt at the discrepancy between what you believe is true and new information or interpretation that contradicts the foundation of Christian religion. Christians aren’t ready to admit they were “had” or “conned” into believing God wrote the book when in fact it is more likely that it was written by Satan.

The fear inspired by Satan's Big Lie (about going to Hell if you don't believe) would cause good people to actually defend Satan's own writings! They would start a huge intellectual effort called "Christian apologetics," devoted to explaining why, in spite of the glaring errors, contradictions and immorality in Satan's Bible, it was actually all true, and was in fact the word of Satan's arch-rival, God. This would be Satan's ultimate achievement, that the humans that God created would actually turn against God and defend Satan's Bible! [Excerpt from Was the Bible Written by Satan? by Craig A. James]

Satan is fast and supernatural

Satan isn’t omnipresent, omnipotent or omniscient, but the Bible says he is so fast that he often appears to be in more than one place at the same time. Satan uses his supernatural mind and knowledge of mankind to predict human behavior in order to manifest a satanic plan.

Yes, the Bible says he won’t succeed, and he, the beast and the false prophet, are going into the lake of burning sulfur to be tormented day and night — forever. What else would he write to keep the ignorant masses [useless eaters] from ever finding out his diabolical plan?

Pretend for a moment you are living in the first century and are working for Satan. Satan believes Mother-Earth (Gaea) is sentient and wants to hurt her. Your job is to find a way to get humans to weaken Gaea with environmental damage and pollution.

DEADLINE 6pm EST: Tell the AMA to support GMO food labeling

June 1st, 2012

By David Bancroft
Just Label It

Just last night, the American Medical Assn. opened itself to feedback from non-AMA members before it weighs in on the debate to label genetically engineered foods. That means they want to hear from people like you and me. This is a huge, and rare, opportunity, so we need your help right now. We need to make sure that doctors support our right to know how the food we feed our families is produced. We know the FDA takes their views seriously.

Contact the AMA by 6 pm today and tell them to support GMO food labels by adopting Resolution 509-A-11 in lieu of the Council Report on GMO labeling.

Obama Plans War on Syria

June 1st, 2012

by Stephen Lendman


"Houla represents the largest incident so far. At least 109 deaths"

Guilty of war crimes multiple times over, Obama plans more death, destruction, conquest, colonization, resource control, exploitation, and dominance.

Syria is target one, then Iran, then other nations. It follows Washington's longstanding pattern of waging war on humanity.

Iran's peaceful nuclear program is pretext for post-November war. Syria's Houla massacre draws it closer against Assad.

Since early last year, thousands of Syrian civilians and security forces died. Daily body counts mount. Western-enlisted insurgents bear most responsibility. Assad is wrongfully blamed for their crimes.
