RELIGION!

What is religion, and why is it so important to people?

As far back as we care to trace we find people believing in some form


of god or spirit. Today we have a couple of leading religions like
Christianity, the Muslim religion, Buddhism, Chinese folk religion,
Taoism etc.

All or most of the above are used in some way by the leaders of this
planet to discipline the people, which in itself is not a bad thing, it
does help to keep the masses in check, “nobody wants to go to hell
forever”. Many authors write in support of religion and we can find
books on the subject in most any bookshop one wish to visit. On the
other side of the coin we find those who totally oppose religion, many
books are found in most bookshops and libraries to this effect, like
for example the books of D.M Murdock alias Acharya.s, like “Christ
in Egypt”, Zachariah Sitchen’s 12 th Planet etc, none of which is bad
reading material, Murdock herself and Sitchen both has done
incredible research and cannot be defaulted for their efforts.

Like Murdock and Sitchen all the authors who have written both for
and against religion ultimately convey their own opinion about the
subject they write about. We as a people ultimately decide what we
want to believe or accept as ‘true’, and this is something we also do
with the different religious so called “holy scriptures”. How
‘convinced’ we become depend on how much ‘passion’ (which it
mostly is because concrete fact in regards to most religions is pretty
scarce, if at all) the religious or non religious advocates put into their
campaigns, looking at registered members of the different religions
most of their campaigns seems to be working quite effectively.

In the Christian religion we have one outstanding figure which


according to the bible confirms that religion in the form of Jesus, the
Muslim religion however depend on the morality of the prophet

1
Mohammed, and more greatly on the Old Testament of the bible,
without which Muslims would probably not have existed.

The point of this document is however Christianity, which is a


subject I do have some knowledge about, for me to venture into the
Muslim religion would be inviting a debate I might loose at this point
in time.

Christianity as understood by the followers includes Jesus as part


and parcel of that religion. The four gospels which introduce him by
way of the book of Matthew all include his life and teachings and run
through to the book of Revelations which concludes the ‘whole’
bible, but just how accurate are the new testament and for that
matter the whole bible, we do not know, but many have attempted
throughout history to make sense of this very interesting yet
controversial book?

What has been written down by the different scribes from plus
minus 40 years after the death of Jesus was done so from word of
mouth accounts by various people. The scribes had to make sense
from these accounts which forty years after the fact must have been
an incredibly difficult task in itself, also the religious leaders of the
time definitely had some influence on what was to be recorded and
how it should be stated. In plus minus 340 A.C Constantine realized
the value of this religion in regards to the governing of the world he
ruled and invited 1800 bishops to put all the scriptures into one book
which had to be distributed amongst his subjects.

Only approximately 300 bishops took up the challenge under the


watch full eye of Constantine himself. How much of the scriptures
were altered to suit his governing methods is anybody’s guess.
Historians might immediately question me, but how accurate are
they?! From my own research which was independently done with
the use of the bible and some scientific, and historical books and
documents but mostly the bible, the conclusion I have come to is very
shocking to some, controversial to others and downright disturbing
to many, atheists still won’t agree with me due to the fact that they
do not believe in anything they cannot see, touch or smell, and they
cannot be blamed or criticized for it, how many of you reading this
will believe me if I should state that we were first spirit and then

2
physical? Do you understand now why the atheists cannot be blamed
or criticized for their disbelief?

Some of what you are going to read now can be verified, some cannot
be concretely proved, or even remotely proved, so please bear with
me. Christianity claim Jesus as the son of the God of the Old
Testament; but is he? Christianity claim itself to be the ultimate
religion or “truth” for that matter! But is it? Murdock says it’s all
myth, but is it? Sitchen have other ideas, is he right? The atheists
won’t have any of it, and discredit all of it, but can they? No scientist
up to date have proved or even remotely proved creation, many have
by way of theory tried to explain it, and we can applaud them for
their efforts, but that’s all it is; efforts! No more and no less.

The irony is the fact that we exist, religion claim it to be the work of
God, a statement they cannot prove, science have various ideas, none
of which can be proved either, the problem is that we exist and so do
millions of other star galaxies, al of which had to come from
somewhere or from something, it is common knowledge that
‘something’ cannot come from ‘nothing’, or so I hope to think, and
‘believe’. The man or ‘imaginary’ being called Jesus, by word of
mouth stated some highly interesting and sometimes very
controversial ‘things’. If one study the New Testament you get the
feeling that he (Jesus) seems to have spoken against some of his own
statements, which create the idea that perhaps he was speaking with
the proverbial “forked tongue”.

But was he? Is everything written in the bible, presumably stated by


Jesus really the statements he made or was the bible manipulated to
fit into the religious leaders of the time’s ‘idea’ of how to incorporate
him so as to look like the son of the God of the Old Testament? What
did Constantine told the 300 bishops to do? Will we really ever
know?

The man Jesus or the scriptures state that he said the following; you
do not know my Father! What was the reference to? A physical
being; or a spiritual being, he stated this to the religious leaders of
the time. They then argued that they only have one father
(Abraham), and his God is in fact their true Father? This motivated

3
the following statement from Jesus; “You have been praying to your
father, the Devil since the beginning!” In what context did he made
this statement? Let us assume he said it as he saw it or as we read it,
no hidden agenda’s, the people have worshipped something other
than the Father he talked about, then surely Christianity have no
foot to stand on, and he was not the son of God, but a ‘messenger’
perhaps, who tried his utmost to break religion, and was eventually
killed for his efforts, as can be derived from the statement Caiaphas
made: This high priest stated to the other religious leaders that it
would be better to have Jesus killed for the nation instead of having
the whole nation wiped out by the Roman empire! Because that
which he was preaching about differed greatly from that which their
priests were preaching to the Romans!

Interesting! Far fetched! The bible is a book, written by people, your


opinion or perception is worth exactly as much as the pope’s,
however you find it with a logical mind, is worth more than anything
any priest can tell you! Why? Because it makes sense to you, and you
are the most important person in “your” life!

Personally I have spent plus minus thirty years to study the


Christian bible in relation to life science and history, my findings can
be found in three books; “Jesus the Keeper of the Truth”
http://www.authorhouse.com/bookstore/itemDetail.aspx?
bookid=59758 “Unchaste Deception”
http://www.lulu.com/content/2486291 and “FSH”
http://www.lulu.com/content/paperback-book/fsh/7469748 .

What is stated in my books is my truth, my findings, however you


perceive religion or life is your perception, how you perceive my
findings might be sensible, it might not, but it could also answer a
question or two. Am I a Christian? No. Do I believe in God? I could
answer that with this; No, but I do believe that a creator or creators
do exist, or rather creators responsible for creation of the physical,
that which we can see touch and feel, and then yes, I also believe in
creators of that which we cannot see feel or touch while in the
physical, and these creators are ultimately the creators of all that is,
and this is where I will leave you.

We will talk again.
