As much as modern Christians might deny it, the four Biblical Gospels themselves were already part of the so-called “Great Apostasy,” which is the turning away of Christianity from the original spirit of Christ’s messages. They were propaganda pieces aimed at Jews, Greeks, Pagans, and Romans in order to hijack a burgeoning spiritual movement. Christianity became a weapon to bring diverse cultures under the control of a single political monster hiding behind the cross. Meanwhile, the original teachings of Christ propagated onward in secret until one version was set down in writing by the scribes of the Nag Hammadi, from which the Gospel of Thomas emerged into modern light.

Serving people is the only way people’s perceptions of the church are ever going to change. This is why it is so toxic for the Gospel when Christians picket and boycott and complain about how bad the world is…why blame dark for being dark? It is far more helpful to ask why the light isn’t as bright as it could be. Cite Arrow Rob Bell (via haereticum)

God, give us grace to accept with serenity
the things that cannot be changed, courage
to change the things which should be changed,
and the wisdom to distinguish the one from the other.

Jesus Christ is cited as the first of anarchists; for did he not say, “Resist not evil: if one take away thy coat, give him thy cloak also; and if one smite thee upon the one cheek, turn to him the other also?” What is this, we are asked, but a denial of the right to use force even in defense of one’s simplest and plainest rights?

The Talmud’s basic law is that only the Pharisee Jew ranks as a man, or human being. All others rank as animals, “the people who are like an ass — slaves who are considered the property of the master.” The attitude resulting from such teachings has been resented by non-Jews in all countries and centuries. Such resentment, however, is always portrayed by Jews as persecution of the Jews. Cite Arrow http://www.come-and-hear.com/dilling/chapt01.html (via agreekingermany)

haereticum:

Christian anarchists piss Christians off more than atheists. Or Jews.
It’s ridiculous.
Tell them that you don’t believe in God.
Tell them you don’t believe in Jesus.
But how dare you tell them they shouldn’t sing God Bless America in church.
How dare you.

Jesus’ Golden Rule is at the center of anarchist morality. […] If you would not be exploited, then you must not exploit others. If you would not be ruled, then you must refuse to rule others. Cite Arrow Robert Ellsburg (via lukershmerxvx)

For the people who say that we’re bashing Jews on Twitter because of the fake Israeli Revolution.

smileanddestroy:

I just want you guys to know that we never bash Jews. We bash zionists and Israelis. Israel isn’t a country, and the real Jews know and admit that.

We respect Judaism and Christianity. It’s in our religion. Stop being an ass.

I’ll never respect a fake country that occupied and killed the people of my own race and stole their land. Call me a hypocrite,a bitch or a backstabber.I dnt give a fuck as long I believe in what Im doing. Im fucking proud of who & what I am. I had to share.
