The Vatican fast-track
He was also mad.
Jesus saw his mission as being one of salvation but he cared only about Jews. "I have come only for the lost sheep of Israel," he would say. Jesus despised non Jews and even forbade his disciples to mix with Gentile scum.
He saw nothing wrong with slavery because the slaves were foreigners. In fact he told several parables about the mistreatment of slaves, never commenting on the cruelty but always instructing slaves to obey their masters. He ridiculed considerate slavemasters who allowed their slaves to dine with them, insisting that slaves should be made to wait for their food.
While professing love for all and sundry Jesus was quick to condemn anyone who disagreed with him or who failed to feed and clothe him. The penalty for incurring the wrath of Jesus was an eternity spent writhing in the flames of hell.
Jesus was quick tempered and stupid, on one occasion cursing a fig tree to death because it wouldn't do as it was told.
All in all, when you study this man you discover that he was nothing like he was cracked up to be. The best story in the New Testament is where Jesus is asked how he would deal with a woman accused of adultery. Old Bibles have Jesus saying "Let he who is without sin cast the first stone."
That passage is probably the most enlightened sentence in the entire Bible. The problem from a christian standpoint is that Jesus didn't say it. We have no idea whose idea it was because it was interpolated (forged and inserted) by an unknown scribe hundreds of years after the death of Jesus.
That's why modern bibles leave it out.
But if you still think that Jesus is worthy of your respect and admiration then you need to become aware of two things.
1. Jesus was adamant that no intermediary was necessary for you to communicate with "God." He instructed his followers not to pray in synagogues or anywhere in public. In fact he instructed worshippers to lock themselves away in a closet and pray to God in private. The church has always kept this a secret from christians for obvious reasons � it can't make money out of people who obey Jesus. Churches need you to be dependent on the them, and they'll argue that Jesus forbade prayers in synagogues, not churches. That's hardly surprising seeing as there was no such thing as a church in Jesus' time. But if you read the passage you'll see that it is as clear as crystal what he intended, and all the weasel speak and spin doctoring in the world can't change it. Every church in the christian world disobeys Jesus and encourages you to do likewise.
Ask you local priest or preacher about this and watch him squirm as he shits on Jesus.
2. Another thing that Jesus was crystal clear on was poverty. "Give up thy worldly goods and give to the poor." Notice he did not say "Give up a tiny percentage of your worldly goods." In my opinion that is his one redeeming feature, he did seem to care about the poor, providing they were Jews, of course. He went on to say that "It is harder for a rich man to enter the kingdom of heaven than for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle." You can't get any clearer than that. And yet the so-called fundamentalist evangelical churches of America have convinced millions of their followers that Jesus wants you to be wealthy.
Religious leaders like Billy Graham, Jerry Fulwell, Pat Robertson, Benny Hinn and Jimmy Swaggart are multi millionaires. These lying scheming hypocrites disobey Jesus not once but twice, and this time it is the most basic and fundamental of his teachings that they contravene. And yet these hellbound millionaire preachers are destitute compared to the Roman Catholic Church.
The Roman Catholic Church set up in opposition to Jesus and everything he stood for. Even its racist policy is the opposite to that of Jesus, pro Gentile and anti Jew. The Roman Catholic Church used the image of Jesus to amass a vast fortune that we can only guess at in our wildest imagination. Besides the Vatican itself with its Swiss bank accounts, its stocks and its shares, its art treasures, its jewellery and gold, the Roman Catholic Church owns thousands of hectares of valuable real estate all around the world.
While millions of people in poor countries go homeless the Roman Catholic Church plays monopoly with office blocks and shopping malls.
Jesus condemned the Pharisees and the money dealers to hell. He was so angry with them that he stormed into the temple and overturned their tables. The Catholic Church uprighted the tables and multiplied the Pharisees' wealth times trillions and trillions.
If you are a Catholic you are part of the organization which set up in opposition to Jesus. You have been dazzled by the finery and the music and the magnificence of it all. Personally I don't believe in hell but if you do, then you should think very carefully about where you are headed.
You are part of an organization that despises Jesus, an organization which uses him to get richer and richer and ever more powerful. I don't believe in the devil but if there is such a thing then the Roman Catholic Church is the devil's instrument for sodomizing Jesus.
The Anglican, Episcopal and other protestant churches aren't far behind. They all got rich by sodomizing Jesus.
Don't take my word for this, do something that you've never done before � something that very few christians do � read the bible.

People like to think of Jesus as a good man, even if he wasn't a "christ" or a saviour. I used to think that but then I read the New Testament and discovered that he was just a man of his time, a spiteful man, a Jewish supremacist, a bigot and a hypocrite.
