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

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.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DXxfduCpC38

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?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fhW2vhf_d8E

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. 

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IOzmeqNxhDY

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.

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. 

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JoVUdr6kwtE

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?

I Have Something You Don't Have...

...And Because of This Something I Will Live Forever While You Die Forever

     Do you remember when you were a kid? Do you remember the neighborhood brat taunting and teasing the other kids everytime he or she got something cool or interesting that the other kids did not have? How did the brat behave? They went around bragging how they had something everyone else didn't have, didn't they?
     Religion is often times the same way and many a fanatic believer can be heard popping off how THEY are going to heaven and YOU aren't. Perhaps for some people that is part of the allure of religion, having something others do not have.
     Take a look at this first video and you will see that you do not have to dress and look wealthy in order to think or act like you have something that others do not have. This gentleman's logic and reasoning is interesting when it comes to why he believes that there are believers who are really un-believers. According to this guy if believers do not believe that God kills people and hates some people then such people are really un-believers. But by far one of the best parts is where the guy says that the un-believers do not want to believe that Jesus was a black man when he roamed the earth. Good stuff.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qIityolHTKo

     This video is the typical validation that many Christians use when refusing to shut the hell up because someone who they are pestering does not want to hear their crap any more.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aDrJAnqvRYE

     The Lord wants His people to be a happy people and a joyful people? You could have fooled me with all of the bullshit hell fire and damnation crap that they persist to loose everywhere they go. How about the Branch Davidians or the People's Temple or the groups that advocate poor treatment of women, do they sound like joyful groups?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5XicDSCJ6Jc

     This is pretty funny.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7kfVoib1UhU

     The people at church are the best people to be around? Hah! Take them to church and introduce them to REAL people? Is that because the people outside of church are so fake? What you are selling to people is the absurd idea that everything you believe in is real while everything outside of what you believe is fake. If people want reality they have to convert or otherwise live a big meaningless life and spend forever in hell. So goddamn stupid.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P6_Egv9lXEc

     Another video on the supposed love of God that is supposed to conquer everything...but it does not. While the guy in this video asks his questions think about the pictures of starving babies in Africa with the distended bellies, the bodies floating in the water from the tsunamis, pictures of the piles of dead from World War II, think about the tens of millions upon millions of people who died from the bubonic plague during the Dark Ages, think about 9/11 and all the times that some religious freak or other killed people in the name of some God. Let's remember those things before we even make a move toward thinking that God is love.
     So many people try to convert the masses in the name of the love of God, jumping up and down and praising that this God is so full of love and they just want to share this love so that people will go to heaven like God wants all people to do. 

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2k7yfKb05gk

     This man is trying to offer an apology for all of the assholes in religion when that is not something in his power. Let the people who say stupid things in the name of their God apologize for the shit they say. And this man is correct when he says that there are Christians who tear people down all the time. That is absolutely correct. Stop apologizing for things you cannot apologize for. At the same time try to remember that no matter how much you apologize there will still be people who do not want to worship and believe the same way you do...and that should be fine. I don't want what you have no matter how great you say it is.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zq5U1KvlMCk

     Sometimes Christians have the greatest imaginations ever. How do you get in touch with Jesus? Getting in touch with the imaginary? NICE. The interesting thing is this belief and love that so many claim to have that others do not have is imaginary. So, in reality whatever they are claiming to have that others do not have is non-existent and in truth they have nothing.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CJ4AyfEWOR4

     Bill O'Rilley is a douchebag. Eventually I will make a special blog just for Bill.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fFtpBsAnKvY

     I have something you do not have. What I have is the love of God and the eternal life He gives me. I can prove this God and this love and this eternal life by the terrible things people do to each other and the terrible things that are going on in the world today. Religion is so fucking stupid.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v9LyJ7jO_Cc

     This is straight up scary bullshit. Kill people who do not believe in God? SURE. That is what the pricks who flew planes into the trade center thought. Even those assholes validated their God instructing them to kill those who did not believe in the same manner.
     So, Christians say that they have something others do not have, the LOVE of God...and then they go and dig up some information that says it is okay to kill people. If that is the case...I do not want anything having to do with religion. There is no real love in this God or His religion.
     And all of this is supposed to be part of what is the reality of this great truth that Christians have and others do not have? I do not want what the Christians have.
