Christian subversion and missionary activities -2

[acharya]

I am always amazed at the power of autosuggestion. People believe what they want to believe whether they believe in reality or delusions. As an Episcopalian by definition you are a heretic and therefore your schism is a fairytale, a cult and an illusion. You can’t just choose your “flavor of religion”, it’s not a fast food business though Religion today does cater to peoples fantasies.

There is only one ‘true’ Christian Church and that one is the Orthodox Catholic Church. The Bible is either “the undisputed and indisputable word of God” or it is hogwash.

Your heretic Church admits itself that the Bible cannot be taken literally and maybe even too seriously because “the Gospels are old books” with “contradictions and distortions”. And it pretends to be able to remove at least one layer of distortion, understand the actual words of the Gospels and the Bible and produce a more honest reading of these.
I’m sorry but that is quite an ego your Church has there.

I understand your point though. Does it really matter if Jesus really existed after all? What matters is that ‘His’ message lives on, is that what you’re saying? But your Church hasn’t scrapped the Bible completely, or has it? It continues the fairytale doesn’t it?

It’s like we were to debate if Romeo and Juliette really existed, then we would just turn around and say, “Well it really doesn’t matter as long as their lovely story lives on”; welcome to the fairytale. And because this story has lived on so long it must be true.
The so-called Book of the Dead written by the Egyptians lasted much longer than the Bible; does that make it true?

You don’t know any more than anyone if the Bible is the word of God or what an imaginary Jesus may have said is a reflection of God’s will or not, because the Bible is not authority on the matter and by admitting to its distortions you are admitting that it is disputable and perhaps altogether false.
