What Does God Do to Gays? Part II

If God is Who many of the cynically delusional in religion claim Him to be, then God has LOTS of ideas as to how to mistreat gays, right?

According to some of those who would assert that the Holy Bible is absolutely true God is responsible for everything that happens. Everything. Blessings, punishments...EVERYTHING. Nothing happens without God's say so since everything is a part of His fantabulous plan, which of course was formed and approved by God's planning committee consisting of He, Him, and Himself. ANY and ALL punishment for all things 'sinful' are by God's supposed divine Will. It all boils down to this: If someone is punished for their sins...well, that is simply how it is going to be. It doesn't matter how it was done or who it was by, or whether or not it was something terrible and crappy and totally fucked up since God purposely allowed it to happen in order to punish them for their wicked ways. I see.

Sooo...I was thinking that the clips from the first part of this particular discussion were bad enough, right? Well, apparently God has lots of ideas as to how to mistreat gays. Notice that God does not say specifically to do this or that, but He sure as fuck does not stop any of His folks or ANYONE for that matter (or Himself) from some of the terrible things done to gays whilst in fits of intense homophobic passions, does He? And, yes, it must be noted that all Christians are not homophobic and do not all hurt gays, and likewise not all homophobic people are Christian and not all homophobic people hurt gays in some form or other. Just gotta put that out there to be fair.


This man was murdered because he was gay. There are people who celebrated his death as judgment by God for being gay. Sickening. This human being was murdered because of his sexual preference. How is this punishment more important to God than killing those who kill other people, or who rape other people, or who commit adultery and other crimes? I thought it says in the Bible that all fall short of the glory of God? If that is the case...

How do you think this same East Indian politician would feel if the United States booted out all of the East Indian people who are here in the states and who are not Christian and who insist on practicing their cultural practices here? That would be immensely offensive to the people and their country and their sense of humanity. Where is this asshole's sense of humanity? Oh, that's right. He's an asshole.

Sooo...does the police department involved here think that the gay bar and its patrons deserve less protection because they are gay? For Christ's sake! The place was getting damaged and people beaten! What the fuck more do you need to protect and serve? A straight dick and a cross?

Some religious zealots and fundamentalists and literalists are dedicated to slippery slope thinking...big time. Oh, look! If you give gays any rights the earth will go up in a big ball of flame and the Tribulation will set upon man faster than ever! AAAAHHHH!!!!!

Sooo...never mind the science of climate shift, but the mega hurricanes are really punishment from God because He is so pissed off with the sin of being gay that He decides to punish people who are NOT gay...by virtue of the weather? Who is being punished for what here? I am a lesbian. What the hell did Hurricane Sandy do to me? Why would someone else who is NOT a lesbian be punished for me being a lesbian? How does this work?

Biblical Literalism

Danger, Danger Everywhere and So Many Who Wish to Drink

Biblical literalism is one of the more dangerous aspects of Christianity. What biblical literalism is is taking the words of the Bible and interpreting them in their most basic, literal sense. In case you didn't know this can be an extremely dangerous, destructive, stupid thing to do. Are there exceptions to this when it comes to things in the Bible? I would say yes. How? Well, consider what is said about love (the good things that are said about love), right? Love is patient and kind and conquers all. Or how about the verse that says there is no greater love than that a man lay down his life for his friend (John 15:13)? These are good things, good concepts and ideas. 

BUT...when it comes to things like stoning your kids when they are being brats (Deuteronomy 21:18), killing those who work on the Sabbath (Exodus 31:14), stoning a woman if her groom finds her to not be a virgin (Deuteronomy 22:13-29), killing adulterers (Leviticus 20:10), and more, the ramifications of taking these things literally and actually following them is really beyond reason, as well as beyond the message of love that is supposed to be what the Bible is all about.

Sooo...do the hard-nosed Christians of the world really follow the Bible literally as so many claim it should be followed? If the Bible IS supposed to be followed literally what should have happened to Jimmy Swaggart after he sought the services of prostitutes? Let us take a look at some biblical literalism video clips. Some of these are from non-Christians asking questions or simply venting, some are portions of documentaries, and some are from those within the faith themselves.


This man asks a very good question, right? How is it that so many Christian literalists pick and choose what it is they want to take literally from the Bible? How can they say the Bible is literal and then turn around and not follow everything? How does this work? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ECgoQbJ88Yk


This is heartbreaking. What the hell is wrong with people? This woman found out first hand, in the most tragic of fashions what can happen when biblical literalism runs amok. Would you want this to happen to your daughter? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JnAjke3ZCQE


This is good stuff. Pay attention to the questions asked and fell free to post answers at the end of this posting. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6tJ37YH_uqM


Some of this is Children of the Corn creepy. Listen to what the minister who used to be a literalist has to say about context, language, culture, and custom. Very, very good. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wf-0YQZlM9c


Did you know that the biblical literalism that is SO important to so many Christians is largely a North American phenomenon? I found that to be immensely interesting. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TkcC8FkS6Nc


Will those who decide to take the Bible literally really take the time to consider the questions like that which this man asks, or will they continue to be stout in their literalism (supposed literalism) in an effort to remain true and straight for God and their faith? Is this a wise thing to do? This literalism IS a cop-out, isn't it? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gCgBNm8L5P8


Biblical literalists are not really literalists, are they? If they were there would be a hell of a lot more people in jail than there are now. Are YOU a biblical literalist? If so, when will your next daily sacrifice to Yahweh be? Oh, Jesus took care of that for you? Sooo...then the Word of God doesn't stand forever? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bSAJrMyq9-Q&list=PL25EAA618C5BB6ECD


The old laws of the Old Testament should still apply since Jesus did say that He did NOT come to abolish the law, right? Explain this. I am sure there are at least three different ways I have heard this explained to me having grown up in a very Christian family. What other explanations can there be? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KjHD4QCPa60&list=PL25EAA618C5BB6ECD


Pay attention to what this man points out as being the definition of truth. Very good. And why is the King James version of the Bible one of the favorite interpretations for biblical literalists? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EAktCtTMM58


Good stuff! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U0XXEd1W0pw&list=PL4mXQHptk2LjeezTQqLS7D2sCed6wH3uj


Oh, yeah. Religion largely gets morality ALL wrong. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aEhP6FCjCkQ


God said to do this and to NOT do that. Sooo...how many people actually listen to the one and only true God that they love and actually follow through with ALL of these commands? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oF3TRGh8lrc&list=PL4mXQHptk2LgdG3qgNWiSFkmg6scHTqN_


Well, three cheers for the Bible fudging up royally on the dates, times, places, and people involved in the supposed important events of one of the most popular religions ever. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h5JpD6A3Tm4&list=PL4mXQHptk2LgdG3qgNWiSFkmg6scHTqN_&index=2



Do you think that maybe the Bible has so many contradictions in it to help the dyslexic faithful of the universe to conform? I mean, if people do the opposite of what they are told to do (some people, that is), maybe by God saying something totally the opposite of what He really wants someone to do He will get them to do what they should be doing. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VVpTzThdsds&list=PL4mXQHptk2LgdG3qgNWiSFkmg6scHTqN_&index=7

Claims from Ridiculous Christians

Read Ester Lighthorse's NEW e-book Turkey Broth for the Spirit: Just a Few Questions: the Pentateuch:
http://www.amazon.com/Turkey-Broth-Spirit-Questions-Pentateuch-ebook/dp/B00GVLQ0CY/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1385653561&sr=8-1&keywords=ester+lighthorse


Joseph Farah

Have you ever come across a magazine called the Whistleblower? If you have not I encourage you to go and pick one up, take a peek inside, and read some of the craziest bullshit some Christians spew as truth. Absolute ridiculousness is what it is.

In the May 2011 issue of Whistleblower, Volume 20, No. 5, Joseph Farah writes an absurd article in a letter from the publisher on pages 3 and 4. I would like to comment on that particular article here. Yes, I know it is a fairly old article but I would still like to comment on it. I had actually never even heard of this magazine until I was at a friends home and she showed me a couple of articles from a different issue. I was intrigued and requested to borrow a few copies. I took the magazines home and began to go through them, coming across this piece fairly early on.

What I will do here is type the comment made by Farah, and then make a comment of my own in response. I will type his comments word for word just in case you were wondering. 

1. "Some people call me a radical." -Joseph Farah- May 2011 Whistleblower

     No. Radicals favor drastic political, social and economic reforms...something you clearly do not favor. You do not wish for gays to have the right to marry and you have problems with the idea of Pro-Choice (since it is otra de la ley of Him Who you worship) along with all sorts of other issues that you plant, grow, and harvest from your little field of religious-political fanaticism. Reforms should be good things. You wish to deny people basic rights and just in case you did not know, that would definitely NOT qualify as drastic reform. It might qualify as drastic set-back. 

     You have this air of wishing to revert to the 'old'. The 'old', some of it, is still very good. What you do not seem to understand is there are elements of the old that are not so good. Perhaps for the time in which it was birthed much of the old was good, but you also seem to forget that even those who created the old recognized that not all of it was good and great. It was all new, remember? Experimental. The Founding Fathers knew they wouldn't get it all right and even suspected they would get some of it wrong.

2. "As I've said many times, "conservatism" cannot save America. It's too far gone from what it was intended to be to save it through holding on to what we have left. And that, by definition, it what "conservatism" is all about."

     No. Your assessment of America being in a state of poor health is inaccurate. Yes, we DO have money problems and a deficit ten times the size of Texas. But, this is not what you are referring to, is it? Neither are you referring to pointless wars, the great need for good and affordable healthcare, bickering in Congress, helping communities to recover more quickly from natural disasters such as Katrina and Sandy, or dealing with the issues eating away at social security, are you?

     What you are referring to is essentially a religious issue for you, isn't it? For some twisted reason you think the issues that this nation in particular experiences are the direct result of people falling away from God and Jesus, right?

3. "If "conservatism" means cutting the budget but still overspending, borrowing from future generations and ignoring constitutional limits on the federal government's power, then I am not a conservative. Yet that is what many of the most prominent conservatives are doing in Washington right now."

     Oh, look! Here you try to make it look like it isn't a religious issue. This is a half-ass effort though, right? I mean, what is it that you say toward the very end of this article? Here is what you said:

     "If there is an opportunity for the bad guys to manipulate and exploit the crisis they have created, there is also an opportunity for lovers of liberty and lovers of God to do the same."

     See? You don't give a shit about the budget and the money and social security. What matters to you is WHO is qualified (according to your rules) to participate in various liberties and whether or not people who believe in God (presumably the same God you believe in) are the ones making the rules.

     Don't kid yourself into thinking that this country's problems have to do with people not wishing to follow your Invisible Pal. Yes, there are leaders in this country who abuse the system, abuse money, and abuse liberties...but this is NOT the case with all or even a majority of our leaders and has NOTHING to do with God. These problems are caused by people and not by some all-powerful divine being trying to teach the citizens of this nation any kind of lesson.

4. "George Washington was not a "conservative." Neither were the other founders of this once great country. They actually came up with something quite new in the history of the world- the idea of self governance. They did something unique in the history of the world. They not only threw off the yoke of foreign domination, but they invented a political system that took the shackles off the people and placed those shackles where they belong on central government."

     Sure, shackles were placed on our central government by the Founding Fathers. BUT, those shackles were intended for issues in regards to government function and legislation and NOT intended to shackle the government and prevent the government from changing things that somebody's God thinks are wrong...like same-sex marriage or removing religion from government (or keeping it out).

     Again, you are by no means a revolutionary or anything even remotely similar. What you ARE is a pouting Christian, put-out by government shaking the tethers of religion. So, what you do is try to regain, or help to regain control by disguising your divine predilections as budget concerns, constitutional concerns (a HUGE lie), and concerns over abuses of personal liberties. Do these problems exist? Oh, yes...they do. But these issues are not your true focus, are they?

5. "Because we don't need to create something new. We only need to find our way to rediscovering what we had, something that was perverted over time and today is under full-scale assault."

     You need to be specific here, Farah. Rediscover what we had? Which part do you want to rediscover? No marriage rights for gays and lesbians? No voting for women or blacks? Poll tax? Manifest Destiny and loads of dead and displaced Native Americans? God in schools? Guns for everyone? Prohibition? Segregation? 

6. "In this case, the revolutionaries are the ones running the show. They are the lawless ones. They are the ones who are perverting justice and morality and order. We are merely the resistance fighters."

     No. There are not revolutionaries running the show. Yes, there are some real mother fuckers in government who don't know their ass from a hole in the ground and who do abuse much. However, not every leader is like this no matter how much you want to over-exaggerate. Do we have some serious issues? YES. Name a country that does not...

     ...BUT, what makes America great has nothing to do with God and everything to do with our people and our desire to excel, to exceed expectations, to protect liberties for all, and to persist in a push to be fair. Sometimes we miss our mark...but goddamn if we don't keep getting right back up time and again. Even THAT takes a while at times, but THAT is who we are.

     Also, so long as you approach the issues within justice, morality, and order from ANY kind of religious angle it is you who is doing the perverting. Your idea of resistance fighting is nothing more than resistance to fairness and change.

7. "A friend of mine said it this way: "We're not in the middle of a revolution. We're fighting the American Devolution.""

     I think it is the devolution from the idea that America was founded by God, for God and for people who believe in God and worship God that bugs you and Christians like you the most. Not all Christians are like you...thank God.

8. "The very will of the American people is under attack in a thousand ways. It's under attack through the popular culture with its desensitizing images and messages. It's under attack from the establishment press, whose members think they are so much wiser than the simple rubes who work hard, provide for their families and serve their country faithfully and heroically in times of national emergency. It's under attack from high priests in black robes who issue decrees that make a disgrace of the concept of the rule of law and mock the will of the people. It's under attack from elitists who run major foundations. It's under attack from globalists who seek to destroy America's national sovereignty. And it's under attack from a central government that has broken the shackles deliberately placed on it just over 200 years ago by our Constitution. The onslaught is coming fast and furious from these enemies of liberty."

     You make it sound like the American people are stupid. What is wrong with you? Do you really think our citizens are desensitized to the things in this world that are right? Do you only watch and think about and read about the bad things that happen in this nation? There ARE good things, you know. Just because people play GTA, watch risque movies, go to church less or not at all and listen to Lady Gaga that does not mean that they don't care about each other and don't love this country.

     Oh, and I hope your reference to people serving the country faithfully DOES NOT only apply to those who believe in God, right? You DO know that Atheists who love this country, and people of other faiths who love this country serve faithfully as well...right alongside their Christian brothers and sisters, right?

9. "They are attempting to overwhelm the will of the people and the rule of law by setting political and cultural bushfires from coast to coast. The process is in overdrive. They believe they have an opportunity to reach their goals for the conquest of the American spirit in the short term, and they don't want to miss this opportunity."

     Conquest of the American spirit? Conquest of the American spirit? We have made it through the Revolution, Civil War, sickness outbreaks, great natural disasters, world wars, conflicts, great political scandals, great tragedies in some of our individual communities, presidential assassinations, and FAR MORE. So, if you think the American spirit can be so quickly diminished, so obtusely swept aside with such great disdain...your faith is misleading you, and you sir, are fucked in the head.

With Neither Sword nor Spear

I Samuel 17:47 says, "...and that all this assembly may know that the LORD saves not with sword and spear. For the battle is the LORD’s, and he will give you into our hand.”

Sooo...what does this verse mean? If you are a Christian what have you been taught that this verse means?

I was taught that this verse in part explained the saying, "The LORD works in mysterious ways." In other words, whatever the will of God is when it comes to winning and losing the fact remains that the LORD always wins. The paradox is that sometimes it is difficult to see the victory that already exists, or, even more difficult to refrain from labeling the loss of a situation as an indicator of God failing to win.

What the LORD/God calls a win is not always evident to man. It is a mystery to us why God has already won every battle and defeated Satan, it is a mystery to us why bad things happen to good people, it is a mystery to us how God always wins yet never so much as lifts a sword or tosses a spear.

Sooo...the LORD never raises a sword or a spear...and still wins? Let's take a peek into the Bible and find out how it is possible for God to always win.

Genesis 11:6-9
6 "Look!" he said. "The people are united, and they all speak the same language. After this, nothing they set out to do will be impossible for them!

7 Come, let us go down and there confuse their language, so that they may not understand one another’s speech.”

8 So the LORD dispersed them from there over the face of all the earth, and they left off building the city.

9 Therefore its name was called Babel, because there the LORD confused the language of all the earth. And from there the LORD dispersed them over the face of all the earth.

Not all situations of winning and losing have to do with war. Sometimes it is just a matter of whether or not God is going to allow people to go about their lives peaceably. When God leaves people alone...great. Everyone wins. When God decides to stick His nose where it does not belong...man loses every time.

And what about the above verses? Where is the winning and losing? The losing is where God purposely throws the people into confusion, causing the people to disperse/disband. Man is the loser here, which by default makes God the winner. Sooo...here we have established that God has used CONFUSION to win.

Exodus 4:21

21 And the LORD told Moses, "When you arrive back in Egypt, go to Pharaoh and perform all the miracles I have empowered you to do. But I will harden his heart so he will refuse to let the people go.

This here is a very interesting, very telling verse when it comes to understanding how God tricks people into thinking they have any real power to begin with. God tells Moses to go and show Pharaoh all of these great wonders, actions that are supposed to convince Pharaoh to let the people of Israel go, right? Wrong. God has given all of these powers to Moses and they mean absolutely squat because God has purposely hardened Pharaoh's heart. Sooo, here we have established that God wins by interfering with a person's free will.

Exodus 7:3-4

3 But I will harden Pharaoh's heart that I may multiply My signs and My wonders in the land of Egypt.

4 Even then Pharaoh will refuse to listen to you. So I will bring down my fist on Egypt. Then I will rescue my forces--my people, the Israelites--from the land of Egypt with great acts of judgment.

Oh, look! Three cheers for God being consistent in continuing to harden Pharaoh's heart. Sooo...here in this case we see that God still presses for a win by interfering with or removing a person's free will altogether.

Exodus 7:13-14

13 Still Pharaoh’s heart was hardened, and he would not listen to them, as the LORD had said.

14 Then the LORD said to Moses, “Pharaoh’s heart is hardened; he refuses to let the people go.

Please. As if God didn't know what the hell was going on. Here, God gets demerits for playing dumb, but does get kudos for His enduring consistency to win by hijacking man's free will.

Exodus 8:19

19 Then the magicians said to Pharaoh, “This is the finger of God.” But Pharaoh’s heart was hardened, and he would not listen to them, as the LORD had said.

Sooo...here we have a slightly different version of God taking someone's free will hostage, right? How so? Read the verse. It says Pharaoh would not listen due to the hardening of his heart deafening his ears to what people around him were saying. The choice to listen to any one message or person is a power that must remain with the individual. That does not happen here.

Exodus 8:29

29 Moses answered, "As soon as I leave you, I will pray to the LORD, and tomorrow the swarms of flies will disappear from you and your officials and all your people. But I am warning you, Pharaoh, don't lie to us again and refuse to let the people go to sacrifice to the LORD."

Don't lie to us again? Pharaoh ISN'T lying because Pharaoh ISN'T making the choice to refuse to let the people go. God is doing that. Does Moses suffer from some kind of memory disorder? Does he not recall God informing him that God was going to harden Pharaoh's heart? Moses knows damn well what God is doing. It is Pharaoh who is the clueless one in this situation and that isn't even by his own choice but by God's bullshit fighting tactics. Sooo...here we have an interesting element added to God's bag of winning tricks: make the person you are against look like a liar when they are really not a liar. Pharaoh is not the one lying here. This little twisted game of pretend makes both God and Moses liars.

Exodus 10:1
1 Then the LORD said to Moses, "Return to Pharaoh and make your demands again. I have made him and his officials stubborn so I can display my miraculous signs among them.

Wow. Sooo...now God is going to include Pharaoh's officials in His twisted game of 'Let's Steal Someone's Free Will'. Why does God do this? Was robbing Pharaoh of HIS choice not enough? Is it because the officials are starting to realize something is wrong with Pharaoh and he would normally never react in this manner? Here we have God winning not just by taking the power of choice from one person...but from many. God obviously give a shit about the needs of the many or the needs of the few. His concern is the needs of the One.

Exodus 10:20
20 But the LORD hardened Pharaoh’s heart, and he did not let the people of Israel go.

Geeze...how many times is God going to use this one tactic?

Exodus 10:27
27 But the LORD hardened Pharaoh’s heart, and he would not let them go.

Apparently lots and lots of times, right?

Exodus 11:10
10 Moses and Aaron did all these wonders before Pharaoh, and the LORD hardened Pharaoh’s heart, and he did not let the people of Israel go out of his land.

Do you think God would use this tactic against you...maybe to teach you some fantastic lesson or two?

Exodus 12:36
36 And the LORD had given the people favor in the sight of the Egyptians, so that they let them have what they asked. Thus they plundered the Egyptians.

Holy shit! Now God has gone far beyond just bamboozling Pharaoh and his advisors. Here God robs an entire people of their minds/their power of choice. And WHY does He do this? So that on the way out of Egypt the people of God can rob the Egyptians of their valuables. How is THAT for a divine tactic to win?

Exodus 14:17
17 And I will harden the hearts of the Egyptians so that they shall go in after them, and I will get glory over Pharaoh and all his host, his chariots, and his horsemen.

Ahhh...so it is NOT enough that God has used terrible tactics to win and get His people out of Egypt, to rob the Egyptians, and to leave in victory. No, this is not enough of a win. God wants a GREATER win so more people will be strangled by fear and choose to believe in Him. Sooo...what does God do? Again, God wins by taking a person's power to choose. The Pharaoh and his army have no choice but to follow the people of God. Lovely.

Exodus 14:24-25
24 And in the morning watch the LORD in the pillar of fire and of cloud looked down on the Egyptian forces and threw the Egyptian forces into a panic,

That's right...God DID take your freedom of choice, but He does have a nice parting gift for you as He decimates you in a great victory:PANIC. God loves using panic and does it quite often in the Old Testament.

25 clogging their chariot wheels so that they drove heavily. And the Egyptians said, “Let us flee from before Israel, for the LORD fights for them against the Egyptians.”

If only the Egyptians knew that the LORD fights for no one other than Himself.

Numbers 11:1
1 Soon the people began to complain about their hardship, and the LORD heard everything they said. Then the LORD's anger blazed against them, and he sent a fire to rage among them, and he destroyed some of the people in the outskirts of the camp.

Sooo...the people are upset and have complaints. Instead of talking with the people and fixing things, God wins the argument by BURNING some of the people to death.

Numbers 21:3
3 And the LORD heeded the voice of Israel and gave over the Canaanites, and they devoted them and their cities to destruction. So the name of the place was called Hormah.

See, when God's people win it isn't because God is so great and mighty and full of love and peace. No. They are not victorious in the true sense of victory where justice and truth win. Here the victory comes because God made it impossible for them to lose by simply giving the Canaanites over. Nice. 

Numbers 21:34-35
34 But the LORD said to Moses, “Do not fear him, for I have given him into your hand, and all his people, and his land. And you shall do to him as you did to Sihon king of the Amorites, who lived at Heshbon.”

Is it just me or does it seem like God loves to simply hand people over to great destruction?

Deuteronomy 7:2
2 When the LORD your God hands these nations over to you and you conquer them, you must completely destroy them. Make no treaties with them and show them no mercy.

Ahh, here we have yet another way God wins: SHOW NO MERCY.

Deuteronomy 7:19
19 the great trials that your eyes saw, the signs, the wonders, the mighty hand, and the outstretched arm, by which the LORD your God brought you out. So will the LORD your God do to all the peoples of whom you are afraid.

Really? Where was this mighty hand for the people of God during WWII? Just wondering. Is that another ones of those God wins in mysterious ways things?

Deuteronomy 7:23
23 But the LORD your God will give them over to you and throw them into great confusion, until they are destroyed.

Oh look, the LORD also wins by throwing people into confusion. Remember...this is NOT their own confusion because GOD put that confusion there.

Joshua 11:8
8 And the LORD gave them into the hand of Israel, who struck them and chased them as far as Great Sidon and Misrephoth-maim, and eastward as far as the Valley of Mizpeh. And they struck them until he left none remaining.

You know what this is? God takes a bunch of people who are on their own property, says "Here you are!" to His own people as He orders the original inhabitants driven out and killed, then when His people kill everyone who was originally there says, "You win." Actually He really means, "I win," but you get the picture.

Joshua 11:20
20 For it was the LORD’s doing to harden their hearts that they should come against Israel in battle, in order that they should be devoted to destruction and should receive no mercy but be destroyed, just as the LORD commanded Moses.

Oh yeah, here we have verification of God purposely making people choose war in order that God win.

Judges 4:15
15 When Barak attacked, the LORD threw Sisera and all his chariots and warriors into a panic. Sisera leaped down from his chariot and escaped on foot.

God loves reusing and reusing and reusing His various tricks to win. Here? That old bugaboo PANIC.

Judges 9:23
23 And God sent an evil spirit between Abimelech and the leaders of Shechem, and the leaders of Shechem dealt treacherously with Abimelech,

Look here! God is not above using black magic to win. If you did this in modern times what would it be called, hum? Black magic. Sending an evil spirit to someone? Black magic. This is your God. This is how He wins. And this is only a FEW of the verses like this that are in the Bible.

More Plots of the Devil

Read Ester Lighthorse's newest book!
http://www.amazon.com/Turkey-Broth-Spirit-Questions-Pentateuch-ebook/dp/B00GVLQ0CY/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1386003781&sr=8-1&keywords=ester+lighthorse


Moo-AH-hahaha! The Devil has your attention, and your salvation, too!

Here in this blog I will be using the words 'Satan' and 'Devil' interchangeably. Yes, I know...they do not mean the same things when considering the context in which they were written. I merge the two to keep things simple for the spiritually ignorant. Please do not be confused by this.

And now, off to the first video.

Okay, here we go again with the idea that Satan/Devil plots against the believers of Jesus Christ and God and all that carnival goop. It is so stupid, though. Think about it. Once you receive Christ, once you are in the Father's hands, you are ALWAYS in the Father's hands. It does not make any difference what you think this Satan/Devil fellow has in store for you, don't you see this? And I am directing this at the believers 'out there' in religious la-la land. You wonder why as time goes by that less and less people want to listen to your poisonous religious rhetoric, and here is your answer. Look at the amount of fear in your life.

Salvation through Jesus Christ is supposed to relieve you of your spiritual suffering and the cost of your transgressions since, as a mere human being, you cannot do so for yourself. So you accept Christ and get baptized and then...you go right back to fearing anything different that you or anything that threatens your snug spiritual blanket you wrap yourselves so tightly with. It is no wonder why so many religious folk have the issues they have with other members of society who do not wish to believe the same.

Here in this video the more pathological members of the religiously deluded showcase their insensitivity of the suffering of others in an attempt to use great tragedy to try to validate their faith in the greatest lie of all time (well, at least all time up to this point). Sandy Hook, according to some was a plot of the Devil/Satan. Of course there are those who proclaim the tragedy as God punishing people (Americans in particular) for the bad shit they have done, are doing now and will continue doing in the future.

For some believers it is far easier to believe that Satan was responsible for Sandy Hook and not God. Who wants to think or believe that God, THE God, would kill little children as punishment for the egregious deeds of others? Blame it on Satan. Many representatives of Christianity have uttered some pretty ridiculous and calloused shit, but this takes the proverbial cake. This is pretty goddamn low.

Oh, and you want to talk ritual sacrifice? What about Abraham being told by God to sacrifice his son? Oh, that is right. God stopped him just in time so it does not count. Okay, then what about the practice of drinking wine and 'breaking' bread while pretending it is the blood and body of Jesus?

Holy shit! This is so funny! I really like the part where this guy says the dinosaurs have motive to cause evil to mankind being as though the dinosaurs are extinct, and apparently still pretty miffed about the whole thing. When I was a kid and asked about why the fossils were millions of years old when the Bible states our earth's age is only about six thousand years, I was informed that the fossils were both a test by God and a plot of Satan to see who really believes in God or not. Anyone believing what science says in regards to the fossils being millions of years old have been tricked by Satan.

You know, it does not really matter whether or not Satan stops a person from praying...at least not in Christianity. Why? Simple. You are not saved by works. Prayer is a work. Sure, God may want you to drop a line to Him every day but if you have accepted Jesus it does not matter in the end. Once you accept Jesus it is a done deal.

Where the hell is this cretin getting his interpretations? The advertisement on the page is symbolic for the Devil and the anti-Christ? This is supposed to be an actual Satanic plot? Say what? Since when did Satan take up advertising? Some people are not human but rather are Satan's children (literally) in disguise. The really crazy part is this idiot really believes what he is saying.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7JteZS9ReOM

One of Satan's favorite ways to plot against people is to introduce them to occult practices. People want power, strange power, power that most people do not have. To get this power they become witches or cast spells or sell their soul to the devil...yada yada plucka plucka. Satan makes you think you have these powers when you really do not, because God is the only one with powers like that. Hummm. I think the real reason why Christianity is so against occult practices is purely from the point of view of not wanting the competition.

It's All a Plot of the Devil

Read Ester Lighthorse's newest book!!
http://www.amazon.com/Turkey-Broth-Spirit-Questions-Pentateuch-ebook/dp/B00GVLQ0CY/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1386003781&sr=8-1&keywords=ester+lighthorse

So, what does our cloven-hoofed pal have in mind for you?

This guy's voice is wonderfully hilarious. So, Satan has already devised a plot for my downfall? Hummm. Sounds pretty scary, OOooooooOOO!! He going to deceive me with knowledge. Really? Deceive me with knowledge? Do you realize how stupid that statement sounds? A lie is deceiving. Knowledge, provided it is indeed the truth, is not deceiving. Religion would LOVE for everyone to think of knowledge as deceiving so that way people will not go out and about looking for the truth, but instead stay with a spiritual ideology that strangles the love and enjoyment and beauty and excellence of life.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oCscD8CMoMc

So, the LGBT movement is a plot of Satan? That makes no sense. You are going to tell me that the same supposed evil superpower, Satan, that cooked up Hitler and World War II and the Holocaust is going to show God and God's believers what kind of evil damage Satan can do...by lobbying for gay rights? Do these religious eggheads share these crackpot theories with each other before speaking about them publicly?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nYEup2LKRew

For all of the claims that many believers make as to some plot or other of Satan being exposed, all that ever seems to be exposed is the stupidity of the religious claims people make. The guy in this video seemingly goes the extra mile (hah!) by trying to make his voice sound deep and commanding as he speaks his poppycock. This asshole more or less says that people not believing in the Bible and the Apostle Paul is akin to being an ignoramus and imbalanced.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6PUUwPM93kg

What the hell is all of this incoherent babbling about potters and serving masters and shamanism and sorcery? Our children are to be molded according to the scriptures? Screw that! Have you read the Bible and the things that God tells people to do? I don't want my kids being raised on that shit. So, Harry Potter is a plot of Satan to get control of children? I think you are smoking pot.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=db1diFtf5SQ

Oh look! It seems that Satan is into writing screenplays that contain well camoflauged spells designed to poison people and turn them away from God. I like what the lady in this video has to say.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_lvoYAzjxMs

Oh dear me. Nothing but the truth? Religion wouldn't know the truth if it bit them on the fucking nose. Of course the devil cannot do you any harm...HE ISN'T REAL! Hello!! While you sing your pretty little song in which you claim you have the devil under your feet you might as well throw your Bible right down under your feet with the devil. That would save a lot of folks a lot of trouble.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Egd2bO9Qh_4

Wow. I never would have guessed that Mother Teresa herself was a plot of Satan the WHOLE time. And how did Satan plot to use this nun? Why, he made her addicted to suffering, and in the true expression of brotherly and sisterly sharing Mother Teresa then turned around and shared that suffering with her fellow human beings. Hummm, I wonder if that is part of why when I was a kid I was told that Mother Teresa would not go to be with Jesus when she died?

Companies and Industries Run and Influenced by the Devil or Satan

Read Ester Lighthorse's newest book today!
http://www.amazon.com/Turkey-Broth-Spirit-Questions-Pentateuch-ebook/dp/B00GVLQ0CY/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1386003781&sr=8-1&keywords=ester+lighthorse


More Christian Bullshit

There is an amazing number of Christians out there in the world today who truly think that many of the companies we rely on to manufacture all of the products we use in our day to day living are companies run by Satan.

That's right. Leave it to the religious zealots and the conspiracy buffs of the world to try to ring the bells of doom and gloom by claiming that Satan is out to get you...through music. So damn stupid.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BAvoyUBzVdk

You know what? Before the uber-religious of the world start harping on the so-called wicked and evil symbols in just about everything around us, they should first take a look at the history of their symbol of the friggin' cross. It does not mean what they think it means.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CdT0OFEgO4o

How do you even start to begin formulating a response to shit like this? There is nothing to be said because it is simply too fucking stupid. For as safe and secure as God is supposed to make His followers these folks sure are locked on the idea that the dangers of evil surround them on all sides. Believers are far too caught up in their own hand-me-down legends of God's wrath and Satan's tricks to really see how their aberrant beliefs make them look like real assholes.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4hZFMCVkzGM

Hummm...this video sounds about as credible as all the other crap in fanatical faiths and justifications. They are in control? Hah! Far from it. The individual controls their own mind, not you. If people want to be controlled, want to fear, want to be packed with worry each day as they try to navigate through a life where the devil could pop out from around any corner at any time, hey, that is on them. It is a terrible waste of life, though.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZY9jjgJhbOk

Yep, you guessed it. Satan has lots and lots and lots of musicians in his evil army. Why do believers seem to be so worried and surprised and defensive and pretty much off the cliff when they talk about this bullshit? Who cares? Who fucking cares? Don't these ninnies remember that in their own Bible it does say that such things are supposed to happen? Actually, it DOESN'T say that, but many have interpreted it to mean so.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D5xAclfgQDw

Oh dear lord. What the hell is wrong with people? Even if this 'meat glue' issue is real, it has absolutely DICK to do with the devil or Satan or Satanism. Fucking 'A' man. Get another damn story because the one you are currently using is beyond over-used.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EZ1_9GtHAIM

Oh look! A religious/twisted-belief ponzi scheme.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=10CqUk_UI_U

Be afraid. Be very afraid....ooooohhhhhh! You can tell the people who put shit like this together don't really believe in God. If they did they would not fear anything. Not even supposedly creepy logos that are supposed to be subliminal messages from the very ruler of hell himself.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yALChEyLyRw

Alrighty-then. So, AT&T is a Satanic company? Yikes. Good thing I have Boost Mobile. This fuck-wad would have you believe that this company really really is run by Satan. Never mind that the term 'Satan' is not meant to be a real being but actually refers to the position of an adversary. Pay close attention to this guy's supposed proof as to AT&T being run by Satan. Retarded.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-2HUfT1l_bk

Look! Up in the sky! It's a bird, it's a plane, it's...it's Satan trying to trick you with a well-known logo from any number of household name companies.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tf6l3naHrWM

Religion is wrong. All wrong. The main reason for rock music is to place spells upon people who would normally not be affected by traditional spell-casting methods? Religion is so damn afraid of the human mind and what it can do and how it empowers people that they are constantly working over-time to get people to refuse to use their mind to the fullest capacity.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=idAz7mFKPrc

What do you know. It turns out that Satan needs money just as much as God needs money. Do you suppose Satan approves of people tithing churches? Do you suppose God gets angry or put-out when people give money to Satan's control instead of Joyce Meyer, Benny Hinn, Creflo Dollar, Kenneth Copeland, Dayna Mouldoon, and others? Making people afraid of money is not going to help them to treat money or each other better.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6U4Kl7yTbl8

Lovely. Another religious crackpot trying to sell his wares of spiritual fear to anyone stupid enough to believe their rantings and ravings. Call out the people of the world who do all the bad shit? Sure. Why not? You DO understand that automatically calls out nearly every religious practice, right? Screw your ideas of false flags, because the number one problem on planet earth is religion and the stupid fear that is stewed up from such.

RRrriiiiggghhhttttt. The Superbowl halftime show was put on by the Illuminati. You people are truly fucked in the head. It really does not matter where people like you look because they will always see something evil and wicked somewhere, especially if it is something that is naturally contrary to your own pittance-valued beliefs.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=akV7fIA5pAM

Well, watching this video you would think that anyone who is a famous musician or actor/actress has also sold their soul to the devil. Really? That is the best story they could come up with? Selling their souls to the devil? Do you people know how fucking stupid you sound?
