A First-Born Baby
Parable
Imagine, in a handmill,
an Egyptian slave-girl's small, first-born son looks adoringly into his mother's proud eyes and says to her: Mother, thank
you for loving me. Thank you for giving me my share of nurturing and gentle words. Mother, should my time come to leave you
due to accident or sickness, do not grieve; for, my happiness has been the greatest gift you have given me. And hopefully,
I have returned happiness in the same manner to you. I love you, mother.
10. Exodus 12:29-30 God
murders all first-born babies of all Egyptians and kills all of their first-born animals. There was not a house
without its dead.
Little Pharaoh
Parable
A huge tyrannical father came home one day and grabbed his small son whose name was Little Pharaoh. He ordered: Do
not move from here to there! If you do, I will severely punish you. Then, the insane father grasped the back of the
child’s neck and pushed him from here to there. He then cut off one of the child’s toes, while condemning
him for an act of disobedience. The small, helpless child cried. He did this to his son 10 times until all of the child’s
toes were gone. The child continued crying because his father forced him to limp painfully after him. Then, he put his child’s
head in a ditch and drowned him. Since his death, the child has suffered eternal-damnation till this day and shall forever.
Some have called me an angry writer. Concerning the Bible, what possibly could I get angry about? Ok - I do have my
moments. GWD
In
Court
Scenario
Judge: Mr. Believer Defendant,
you are accused of selling tainted meat to a family that resulted in two dead and one terminally ill. How do
you plead?
Defendant: Innocent, your
honor.
Judge: Do you
wish to testify on you own behalf?
Defendant: Yes,
your honor.
Judge: Swear him
in.
Defendant: Your
honor, if you swear me in on this here Bible, I would like it to show in the record that it was done.
Judge: Granted,
because I believe in God; and in my court, you will respect God, country, me and my court. Did you sell this family
meat?
Defendant: Sir,
because you believe in God, I will tell you the facts. Yes, your honor.
Judge: Where did
you get the meat?
Defendant: I found
it dead in the back woods, your honor.
Judge: Describe
it’s condition.
Defendant: Well,
your honor, it stank a little and had a few maggots that I scrapped off, but, I knew it would be ok.
Judge: In your defense
what evidence do you have to prove that you are innocent?
Defendant: Well,
your honor, turn to this very King James Bible you swore me in on to Deuteronomy 14:21.God directed: “Ye shall
not eat of anything that dieth of itself, thou shalt give it or sell it to a stranger to eat.” God told
me to sell to a stranger some rancid meat. If he gets sick or dies, it’s God’s will, not mine. I
was just following God’s Biblical orders. Judge, if you find me guilty, and, if you believe in the Bible; you
must find God guilty too.
Case dismissed...
"You’re Taking It Out Of Context!"
Believer’s Defense Tactics
Scenario
Judge:
Ok, accused, tell your story.
Accused: Well judge, I broke into the place and went over and smashed the jewelry case and took the jewels. Then, I
destroyed some furniture, blew open the safe, shot the maid, took the money, smoked some crack cocaine and went to a movie.
Judge: You shot the maid?
Accused:
Judge, you’re taking it out of context.
Judge:
This court has determined that the fact you shot the maid has a context and an importance of it's own. You are found guilty by
your own admission.
Execution
Scenario
The warden stated:
You have been found guilty of theft and four (4) counts of murder. By the laws of this state, your life will be forfeited
at 12:01 by lethal-injection. Do you have any last words?
Prisoner: Yes warden.
I have heard clergy. I am God-fearing and I want to be, what I interpret to be, God-like.
I confess that I went
into another family’s home and took their valuables. When the father objected I murdered him, and his wife.
The reason I murdered
his little children too, was so they couldn’t come back on me in later years. In the Bible, God ordered Moses and Joshua
to take peoples’ lands and to murder every man, woman and child in the process. I know that I am one of God’s
elect. I believe in God’s unmerited gifts. I will be rewarded for doing what I believe God told me to do.
With God, through
Jesus, I am forgiven and innocent. You are a man who cannot understand the wonderment of God and the spirit of the Holy Ghost.
Although, you may kill me, my spirit will live in the house of the Lord, through Jesus Christ, forever. You now will have
to live with what you have done to me, God’s saved-elect servant. God and I will deal with you warden!
Warden: Proceed with the
execution.
The Epilog of Retired Gods
Influenced by Jack Nicholson
Scenario
Once, long ago and far
away, there was a story that went around about a powerful God with an ugly attitude. He was powerful and He thought
that men were only interested in Him because He was powerful. But, He wanted men to be interested in Him because He
was God.
The problem was, besides
His being powerful, He just wasn’t that interesting. Oh, He was rude, hostile, sulking, moody, wrathful, jealous,
malicious, murderous and dangerous. He also had strict slave-like rules, standards and principles that frightened men and
stripped any identity away from women.
This God wanted a chosen-few
to be special and to look past all that to the real God, underneath. However, the only reason any man would bother to look
past all that was because He was powerful and dangerous. Ironic, isn’t it?
Eventually, that God’s
power faded and He was all alone with all His self-hating characteristics; sad and angry - that He couldn’t die.
Santa Claus
Perspective
Could parental lies concerning
Santa Claus contribute as to why the world sometimes appears so insane? Catch your urges if testifying, under oath, about
your knowledge of Santa, Easter Bunny and Tooth Fairy. Your urge would probably perjure yourself for the sake of feel-good
and tradition rather than admit they aren’t real.
Oh, you would probably
declare the lie as just a harmless, fun game to hype up, excite and control the kids because they had best obey and be good
or else.
When you lie to children
about Santa Claus et al, some attach strong feelings to the lie. Later, when he or she learns that the parents had lied to
them, some get the loud and clear message that occasionally it’s ok to lie about extremely meaningful things. Could
a few feelings become imprinted so strongly that they cannot discern right from wrong throughout their lives? Some find themselves
in prison for being over-zealous in the act of grabbing or receiving unmerited gifts.
To promote faith often
motivates belief in a lie. To believe is often to support a lie. To live in a world of lies can nurture insanity, not knowing
the difference between right and wrong. Aren’t you going to continue the Santa Claus agenda by further perpetuating
the lie.
Believer: Of course I am and how dare you!
Does your having faith mean you don’t question? I am confident that if the God of the Universe truly exists,
He is big enough to endure my questions and criticism. But, can you?
Everyone who is called one of God’s Biblical heroes turns out to be flawed just like their boss.
Did the Old Testament God justify wars? Do insane egos justify the Old Testament God?
Do any or all of these negative Biblical facts affect your beliefs? Have you shut yourself off from logic and reason?
Are you truly a sheep? Are you afraid?
If
God had not done any of these documented deeds, would your faith be as strong? Stronger? Why or why not?
What Could Satan “The Anti-Christ” Preach?
When Satan “The Anti-Christ” comes to Earth at the end-time,
what possibly could Satan preach that could sway the souls on Earth away from God?
What if Satan preached and verified that the Bible was correct -
as documented Chapter and Verse - and that the Biblical God actually did all the evil, heinous and murderous deeds the Bible
claims?
What if Satan verified all God’s sending of evil, confusion
and delusion?
What if Satan pleaded and begged the souls to wake up and realize
what they have been supporting?
Prosecution - defense perspectives / Shapiro - Bailey dialogs on Larry King:
Robert Shapiro: “Defense attorneys are not interested in the truth.”
F. Lee Bailey: “Lawyers find witnesses who say whatever they want said.”
1st degree murder: To intentionally and maliciously terminate another’s life to fulfill a personal
or selfish agenda.
Manslaughter: To intend to do something innocent and to kill someone by accident.
Concerning Uzzah, did God commit negligent homicide? Did God kill Uzzah by accident, which is manslaughter? Isn’t
manslaughter still a punishable crime, under criminal law? Manslaughter is negligent killing, not pre-meditated; non-intentional
murder.
Complaints Against This Prosecutor
The Prosecutor has a big ego, over-charges the defendant: Did an insufficient: Job. Study. Homework. Investigation.
Research. Is ignorant. Incompetent. Corrupt. Prejudice. Hostile. He had a bad childhood. He transfers his personal psychological
aggressions onto the defendant. Poor God! God has feelings, you know.
Wouldn't a reasonable person agree that if a murder was planned-out (intended) and the victim died as a result
of that attempted murder, that the murder was guilty? Where did I charge God with any crime that the Bible C&Vs didn't
depict God being responsible for? If a man were charged with these crimes, in evidence, wouldn't he be guilty? Can you determine
guilt? Would you acquit God due to your fear of His status and your fear of Eternal-Damnation? If you do know right from wrong
and you still acquit the guilty, are you corrupt? I, the prosecutor, am really guilty of under-charging the Biblical God of
all His C&V crimes against mankind. GWD
Former believer - awakened skeptic: I am mad at you! You ruined my treasure chest. My grandmother told me stories about
the Bible when I was a child. She portrayed God as being loving and wonderful. You made me curious by projecting horrible
things about God and terrible claims as to what God did. When I looked them up, what you said was there. What I saw to be
gold in my treasure chest turned out to be plastic. Diamonds turned out to be glass. I loved my grandmother. I’m sure
she didn’t deliberately lie to me. She merely passed on to me what was told to her. And yes, I passed it on to my kids.
I don’t know if I can ever trust again. You ruined my treasure chest.
Growing pains often lead to maturity and self-responsibility.
