| So a couple of thoughts occured to me when I heard my friend talking about religion, about how Catholicism is the best religion out there and how Catholics are supposed to help other people and such.. Naturally, my first thought was Psalm 137:8, "O Daughter of Babylon, doomed to destruction, happy is he who repays you for what you have done to us - he who seizes your infants and dashes their brains against the rocks." Quite. I like how my friend claims what catholicism is supposed to do when he wasn't even raised believing in it, or even taught it like I was. He didn't even know about the "body and blood of christ which will be given to all, so that sins may be forgiven, do this in the memory of our lord." So then what the hell proven/right does he have preaching to me? it was just mind boggling. To be attacked by someone who doesn't know the twelve stations of the cross, what palm sunday is, what good friday is, the story of Jesus's birth, its just.. comical. I think its strange that Catholics get upset when atheists celebrate christmas and easter while they don't believe in christ or god... The "Christmas" that everyone celebrates with trees has nothing to do with jesus being born and the three kings coming to give him gifts.. There was no tree, there were no damn presents wrapped in foil, no sanata claus, none of that shit even pertains to the damn religion. Christmas is a damn made up holiday by cooperations to sell products, and we fall for it everytime. Where does it even say in the bible Christmas is celebrated with pine trees? No where. Easter well, of course there is the catholic "Easter" where Jesus resurrects into heaven, and then there's the other easter with a rabbit and chocolates and all of that good stuff that gives you diabetes. What exactly does a rabbit with candy have to do with Jesus? ... found the answer yet?... no? yeah, I didn't think so. Has anyone seen Zeigeist? if not its a strongly reccommended watch. It goes to show that the bible, the story of Jesus Christ was interestingly enough told eons of years ago, his name was Horus. Horus had basically everything that Catholics claim Jesus Christ had, the 12 disciples, the dieing on the cross, resurrection after three days. It isn't just Horus, there are countless of other gods that have these similiarites, like Mithra, or Odin. It was even proven that why all of these "gods" have the similiatrities, it has to do purely with astronomical reasons.. I'm not going to explain that now, because the film will do a much better job at explaining it than I will be. I just find it funny that my friend is trying to preach to me why catholicism is the best religion, and why I'm going to his hell. I think there is a divine being somewhere up there, but there is no way that any religion we have down here is any closer to him/her/it(?) |
