Two things.
First. Most of us have absolutely no problem with his personal beliefs. But he has tried to impose his personal beliefs on those who do not share them.
Second. Religion does not spread peace and happiness. Although it says that on the can. But when you open up that can, all you find is death and destruction. Religion is the single biggest cause of war in the world, even today. The human race would be far better off without it.
You sir are totally correct.
To believe the superstition of a faith such as Christianity requires sacrifice. Foremost among them is to suspend critical logic. Before one approaches THIS faith from an obvious question such as, "Why create a confusing manner to communicate with creation?"... one first needs to examine the foundation of Christianly. If the root is bad, the whole tree is rotten.
I actually read the bible front-to-back (King James Version). The goal was to educate myself on the testaments of my faith. What I developed was a distrust of those for very same convictions.
Here are just a few points of contradiction:
The Tanakh (including the Torah), which Christians call "Old Testament", makes ZERO clear depiction of figure as prominent as the Church's Jesus. Readily it states at the end will be a utopian zenith where; world peace will reign, universal knowledge of Torah (Yahweh God's Law), with all Jews returning to the lands of Judah/Israel, and THEN a ruler in the blood line of David would take the kingly duty. Nothing about a God-Man being killed, or a Satan running the show, or even a eternal place of punishment [hell].
Next, in the "New Testament", there are so many contradictions it's difficult to begin. Jesus' has two separate linage blood lines. He claims Satan is the dark God of this material word, in contrast to how the Torah states God creates both good AND bad. Satan, meaning adversary, is simply a servant of their God's duties to 'test' and improve the conviction of God's people... not a maniacal Sith lord.
Paul the apostle NEVER met Jesus in person. He is the founder of today's church, and claims to have seen him in a vision... and tells the event 3 times in conflicting details. Hell even in the gospels, the events before and after the resurrection of Jesus are inconsistent (e.g. was there no one OR angels in the tomb -- depends on which gospel one reads).
The longest chapter Psalm 119 in the bible declares how the Torah, God's law, is the best thing ever (sweeter than any honey). Paul says it's an unbearable curse that NEEDS to be done away with. Both cannot be true.
The list goes on but I'll summarize, Jesus DOES NOT meet the criteria for a righteous king at the end of times. The Jews were supposed to experience the best time in their history then. As we know their persecution has done anything be simmer.
What happened with the rabbi Sabbatai Zevi is probably what happened with Jesus. Taking advantage of peoples' will through the context of subservience to a master country was the first step (in Jesus day this was the Roman Empire). Afterwards his followers elevated him to a pedestal. Once he was killed the people created a NEW paradigm for their messiah, accommodating his death and rationalizing it through particular verses. Fast forward hundreds of years and here we are.
Once again, I'm sorry this filth was being force upon your eyes. I was being a tool haha :heart:
P.S. I'm not Jewish. Just examining Christianly from their lens is necessary to objectively evaluate it.
