Dec. 22, 2007; As people enter this "Christmas" season all across Canada, I can not help think, after having written the artical; "The injustice and prejudice over native lands", how hypocritical Christians really are. They speak such pious words and paint themselves as being saintly, after having left a blood-soaked trail of
savagery, lies and deceit which they have perpetuated upon human history. That is what their true Christmas message is really all about, under that pious pretense they show outwardly. Which is not surprising given that Christianity is an apostate, Baal god religion that is full of lies, deceit and pagan superstitions.
Dec. 25, 2007; I see that the Catholic head honcho, Pope Benedict XVI, has delivered his
message from his velvet-draped, high back, highly elaborately decorated gilded golden throne
to address Christians and other people throughout the world for world peace, representing his
pagan Baal god, Je-Zeus Christ, and the New World Order from the central balcony of his
residence at the Vatican. Pope Benedict XVI used his Christmas Day address to thousands of Baal
worshippers who had gathered today at the Vatican Basilica. He told the crowd to rejoice over
the birth of their fictitious pagan Baal god, Je-Zeus Christ, which he hoped would bring peace
and comfort to all those who are presently living in darkness and in poverty, who suffer on
account of injustice or war. Benedict delivered his traditional; "Urbi et Orbi" speech in Latin
to the city of Rome and to the world.
The Origin of Christmas Day is an adaption
of the pagan Roman Winter Solstice holiday which was celebrated and called Saturnalia. Pagan
Christian "church fathers" had usurped the true story of the Jewish person of Yeshua, the
Anointed One, and wove a fictitious pagan god from it for themselves. Which they celebrate
their pagan god, Je-Zeus Christ, birthday on Dec, 25th., along with the other Roman pagan
gods on Saturnalia.The pagan Saturnalia holiday was a week long affair which started on Dec, 25th.
Emperor Augustus, who ruled Rome for 43 years starting in 29 BCE, tried to reduce Saturnalia celebrations to
three days but was unsuccessful because of the festival's popularity. During the Saturnalia
celebrations, the normal constraints of society were relaxed and all the people of Rome were
allowed to indulge in what would otherwise be classified as restricted activities such as
gambling, all manner of sexual behavior and drinking. Everyone dressed casually at the
festival, blurring the lines of class division between Nobles and slaves. It was a particularly pleasant holiday for the
slaves, who were traditionally freed from their regular duties throughout the festivities. Most
businesses and shops were closed, as were the judicial courts of Rome. It was also a
rowdy secular affair of the common folk, but it was also designated as a sacred day upon
which solemn religious rites were performed by the priests of Rome. A sacrifice was then
made to Saturn according to ancient Greek customs, with the head uncovered. Humans were
once sacrificed to the gods. Later, Saturn became content with just having animal sacrifices.
Typically, each family would offer a lamb, goat or pig as a sacrifice to the gods, with one
share of the meat having been left on the altar for Saturn, one share reserved for the priests of
the temple, and the remainder returned to the household. But as society evolved, animal
sacrifices was exchanged for edible human effigies or small terra-cotta figurines, called "sigalla",
which were exchanged amoung the Romans at Saturnalia. Today, we have the ginger bread
man and the Roman Catholic eucharist host, to represent the edible human effigies, which is a
remnant of these human sacrificial rites. After the religious rites had been performed, the
crowd was dismissed with the proclamation: "Io, Saturnalia!", trumpeting in the beginning of
the joyous festivities. A great public banquet was held in honor of the god with an image of
Saturn in prominent attendance. The following days and nights were filled with wild parties,
impromptu sex acts and naked parades and spectacles of daring and skill. It is in ancient Rome
that the tradition of the Mummers was born. The Mummers were groups of costumed singers
and dancers who traveled from house to house entertaining their neighbors. People today in
Newfoundland have retained the tradition of Mummers. From this tradition, came the
Christmas tradition of caroling. During the week long holiday, it was considered an offense to
the god Saturn to punish anyone, including criminals or engage in battles during the holiday,
and such activities were forbidden. Emperor Aurelian (270 to 275 CE) blended a number of
Pagan solstice celebrations of the Je-Zeus Christ nativity with other such god-men/saviors as
Appolo, Attis, Baal, Dionysus, Helios, Hercules, Horus, Osiris, Perseus,Theseus and Mithra into a single
festival called the "Birthday of the Unconquered Sun" on December 25th. At the time, Mithraism and
Christianity were fierce competitors. For over three hundred years the rulers of the Roman
Empire worshipped the god Mithras. Known throughout Europe and Asia by the names
Mithra, Mitra, Meitros, Mihr, Mehr, and Meher, the veneration of this god began some 4000
years ago in Persia, where it was imbedded with Babylonian doctrines. The faith spread east
through India to China, and reached the west throughout the entire length of the Roman
frontier. From Scotland to the Sahara Desert, from Spain to the Black Sea. Sites of Mithraic
worship have been found in Britain, in Italy, Romania, Germany, Hungary, Bulgaria, Turkey,
Persia, Armenia, Syria, Israel, and North Africa. The worshippers of Mithras held strong
beliefs in a celestial heaven and an infernal hell in which Judaism, Christianity and Islam had
adopted and became part of the Satan and its infernal hell, along with other pagan myths. Mithraism was a well-established Roman religion, particularly among the Roman
legionnaires when Rome fought against the Persians. In Persia, the Romans soldiers accepted
this ancient Indo-Iranian god of light and protector of oaths. Mithras was also regarded as a
sun god whose birth was celebrated on December 25th. Roman Mithrasism differed so
markedly from other traditions, such as the original Iranian or the India sky god Varuna,
found in the Vedic, which had preceded Hinduism, that some scholars have discounted Mithras
to be a Roman deity. The exact time when Mithras became an official Roman religion
remains controversial. Christianity won out by becoming the new official Roman religion in the
4th century CE by way of Emperor Constantine, who represented the Christian usurper, that
fictitious man-made Baal god-man/savior, Je-Zeus Christ.
Calgary Catholic School Board pulls
"The Golden Compass" from school library shelves
The Calgary's Catholic School Board is pulling "The Golden Compass" from school library shelves -- Calgary Catholic schools have been ordered to pull The Golden Compass from its library shelves, and told not to use the fantasy epic in the classroom or include it in any future Scholastic book fairs pending a review of the material. A committee of educators and religious experts which is authoritarian, will spend the next few weeks reviewing the books of Philip Pullman trilogy, "Northern Lights" and "The Golden Compass"which depicts the "Magisterium", as the all-powerful ruling body which is authoritarian
and intent on eradicating free will and free expression. Judy MacKay told CTV Calgary; "At this point, as a precaution, we've removed it from the shelves out of respect for the parents who have expressed concern". The Catholic League in the United States has also urged a boycott of the movie, The Golden Compass. The Northern Lights trilogy, written by a self-described atheist, portrays a world where organized religion is an oppressive and violent influence. Some people believe it is anti-Catholic and anti-religion. Other people say it is merely anti-establishment. Philip Pullman says he is just against rigid and authoritarian religions. Catholics show their displeasure at the alleged accusations, are involved in letter-writing, especially e-mails, warning about the film, and expressing
personal denunciations which is their right in a free soceity. We live in a world where people can express their beliefs even though not everyone will agree with them. Those who hold different opinions have the freedom to express them, even atheist or those of religious faiths who are outside of Catholicism or Christianity. That was not possible when the "Catholic church" or Christianity had ruled over people under their power as is well documented in our history of humanity.These people are one's to talk about The Golden Compass, being that it depicts the Catholic Magisterium for what it really is, and what it represents. As a person who is involved in the debate about Christianity and how they had misused their power, I was
amazed at the amount and high level of lies, deception and omissions they have shown to use, in the defense of their own church history on their religious broadcast and in their churches. They continually twist the truth, in order to hide the atrocities committed by those who represented their Christian religion during their authoritarian rule, as has been revealed in world history. Is that the kind of moral virtue and ethics they want to
teach and impart into our children? Is that what they want to teach our children or adults, not to be honest? This is what they are saying, because they themselves are unwilling to admit to or accept the truth of what is known about their past, as historical facts. Speaking about practicing deceit and spreading poisonous lies in their attacks, I had personally found out, that they will not hesitate to spread their rhetorical lies while
they lay their poisonous attack on those people who do not share their religious beliefs and then make it look like they are the victims. Catholic and Protestant preachers do that whenever anyone dares to judge the actions of the Catholic or Protestant churches. I personally think that Philip Pullman made a valid and truthful depiction of the nature of the Christian Magisterium, be it Catholic or Protestant. Especially when they get hold of absolute power, and pervert and misuse their religion, based upon their
doctrines from their so-called "holy book" while their priesthood and its internal apparatus of power wields unchallengeable authority, in order to dominate and suppress human freedoms and expression, in that trilogy novel "Northern Lights" on which the film, The Golden Compass is based upon. No truer words were spoken when CTV.ca News Staff writer said; "The Golden Compass was only a children's fantasy novel that criticizes strict religious dogma and encourages readers to keep an open mind".
Here is a little sample how these Christian priests or pastors deceive people. They will relate for example the Christmas nativity story, and weave it to make it sound so plausible. People like Charles R. Swindoll of Insight for Living Ministry, or Rod Hembree of Life Lessons/Quick Study, Canada , both protestant preachers, will tell how Joseph and Mary had to go to Bethlehem because of the Roman Census (Luke chapter 2) and how Herod
had massacred all the children, two year old and under, in order to kill the new firstborn baby who was born to a human mortal (Matthew chapter 2) which Christians claim is their god. They will relate this story, knowing full well that at the time of the Roman Census, Harold had been long dead. Despite that the story do not mesh, these preachers will claim the story is true. They will not admit to this glairing discrepancy no matter what. Instead, they will make up some lame brain excuse to cover up such glairing discrepancy or contradictions. Such is the nature of their deception. They will also omit the fact that in one version of that nativity story, the Christian baby god, was born in a house (Matthew 2:11), rather than in a manger as depicted in Luke chapter 2. There is a big difference between a house and a manger, don't you think? In order to have authenticity to one's story, it has to reflect actual historical events.
However, perhaps more often than not, we come across bungling writers who
get their history and dates all mixed up which only irritate the informed reader and mislead the uninformed one. The writers who had tampered with the original accounts of Yeshua's Apostles most definitely belonged to the class of bungling authors in their attempt to give authenticity to their tale of fiction. Yet, these Christians claim their Christian bible as being, the infallible "word of GOD". It is that infallible that the god these Christians are now praying to, is a fictitious man-made Baal god. It is for all these and other reasons, why GOD is so offended by the deceit and lies of these Christians!
News has come to me that some Christian Baal worshipers like the Weekend of Hope ministry, is claiming on their radio broadcast that they had spoken to me in person and had challenged me on what is being said on religious issues. I was surprised to hear this because I had not spoken to anyone in person, let alone to anyone in the USA, or had any kind of debate with any of these people on religious issues. Given this is the case, it is apparent that these people were lying on their radio broadcast, as usual. These apostate, Baal worshipers with their phony god/gods do a lot of that. Yet, they do not have the guts to actually confront me. Such is the case with these apostate, Baal worshipers with their phony god/gods. What a bunch of lying, deceiving, obtuse, idiotic morons they are!
Feb,11th. 2008; According to that apostate, perverted Catholic organization called the Vatican, it has officially announced Pope Benedict XVI's April 15-20 trip to the United States. In a written statement distributed Feb. 8th, the Vatican said the pope would visit Washington with a visit to the United Nations in New York. The pope's six-day trip will include an April 16th meeting with President George W. Bush at the White House, and he will also address the New World Order (United Nations) crowd, on April 18th. Every time these people get together, I can not help reflect upon the document of John's Apocalypse. Particularly chapter 13:13 in the Book of Revelation that was added and placed in the New Testament of the Christian Bible. That is just like that guy who claims to be the head honcho of that apostate, perverted religion called Christianity. With its phony Baal god/gods and Messiah, that Catholic church organization called the Vatican, which are very big on having statues of their phony, pagan, man-god, Je-Zeus Christ, and their mother of god and producing great sings and wonders such as miracles. Like their long standing requirment that they must have two miracles associated with any candidate who is to be beatified. Like that of the late Pope John II and that Catholic televangelist Archbishop Fulton J. Sheen whom Catholics are working to have beatified, are required to produce testimony concerning two miracles associated with them for their canonization or to be declared to sainthood. What a strange coincidence how neatly they fit that revelation! To some people, that might just be a quirky coincidence. But it is no coincidence. It is a revelation to expose that Great Whore and her protestant harlot daughters who have corrupted the truth and have deceived the greater part of the world where millions of people have been known to be cast to their eternal death. A sad situation indeed.
Feb. 22, 2008; It appears that Christian rioters had stormed and trashed the American Embassy and then set it afire during massive rioting that left one person dead, and 150 people injured. The fire to the American Embassy has been extinguished, and a residential building next door was damaged by the flames. Looting continued throughtout the night, but the most violent of the
protesters have been arrested after about 150,000 people took to the streets to show opposition to Kosovo's declaration of independence. A charred body was found inside the part of the embassy that was set on fire. It is believed to have been one of the protester who had entered the American Embassy. The nearby Croatian Embassy was also attacked. An American Embassy embassy spokeswoman said that all embassy staffers appeared to be accounted for. Masked attackers had entered the American Embassy and had trashed it before they had set the Embassy on fire. These nice genteel Christians had
broken away from the main group of protesters in Serbia's capital and seemed to target the Americans in response to the United States' recent recognition of Kosovo's independence. The streets of Belgrade appeared calm today as police stood guard at the U.S. and other Western Embassies following violent
overnight riots. Canada has not announced whether it will recognize the breakaway state. They want to see if any other countries will also give recognition of Kosovo's independence before they make any declairation. It seems that the Harper Government wants to play it safe on this issue. It appears from this little demonstration, that Christians are really not all that much better than Muslims, when it comes to being civil in a public demonstration.
I found in a Canadian survey which was conducted in 2004 CE by
Statistics Canada's General Social Survey (GSS) which tracked the religious
views and practices of Canadians and identify those groups most likely to be
religious. Since the mid-1980s, Statistics Canada's General Social Survey (GSS) has provided insights into Canadians' public religious behaviour by asking about their religious affiliation and frequency of attendance at religious services. It found out that there have been noticeable declines in these measures over the past twenty years based upon the presence of religious affiliation, frequency of attendance at religious services, frequency of private religious practices and the importance of religion to the respondent. It had found out that religious attendance rates between the late 1940s and late 1990s have declined significantly while the percentage of people reporting no religious affiliation has increased. But people continue to have spiritual needs. This study showed that about half of the adult population of Canadians regularly engage in religious activities on their own, rather than attend "religious" services. Between 1985 and 2004, the share of Canadians aged 15 and older reporting no religious affiliation increased by seven percentage points from 12% to 19%.3 In addition, a growing share of Canadians had not attended any religious services in the previous year, even though they reported an affiliation (19% to 25%).
Together, the proportion of adult Canadians who either have no religious
affiliation or do have a religion but don't attend religious services increased from 31% to 43% over this period. Since 1985, a widening divergence in the public religious behaviours of immigrants and persons born in Canada has also emerged. The percentage of Canadian-born 15 to
59-year-olds with no religious affiliation or not attending religious services has increased from 33% in 1985 to 48% in 2004. In contrast, immigrants in this age group have changed very little, from 36% to 35%.4 All in all, public religious behaviours among persons born inside and outside Canada became more dissimilar, although this divergence conceals considerable diversity in levels of religiosity among immigrants from
different regions of the world. While public religious behaviour, religious
affiliation and attendance, have been declining among much of the population, but to capture a more complete picture of peoples' religiosity, the survey wanted to find out what percentage of the Canadian population were involved in private religious behaviour such as prayer, meditation, worship and reading of sacred texts on one's own is examined. Although some Canadians have little or no connection with religious organizations, the 2004 survey shows that they do engage in such private religious behaviour either at home or in other locations. While only about one-third (32%) of adult Canadians attend religious services at least monthly, over one-half (53%) engage in private religious activities on their own at least monthly. Eleven percent engage in private religious activities on their own a few times a year, while 18% never engage in such activities. As with religious attendance, the likelihood of engaging in private religious activities on one's own was more prevalent in older age groups. Similarly, individuals in the Atlantic region were most likely to engage in such practices while individuals in British Columbia were least likely to do so. Immigrants were more likely to engage in such activities than persons born in Canada. Not surprisingly, individuals who frequently engage in personal private
religious practices on their own, do so on a weekly basis. That was the most
striking part of the survey which found that many Canadians who infrequently or never attend services, regularly engage in personal private religious practices. Of those who infrequently attended religious services over the previous year, 37% engaged in private religious practices on their own on a weekly basis. And of those who had not attended any religious services over the previous year, 27% engaged in weekly private religious practices on their own. Overall this group of adults who regularly engage in private religious practices, but infrequently or never attend religious services, represent, 21% of the adult population. This pattern was most prevalent among middle age Canadians. Among Canadians who never attended religious services, 45% of those were between 15 to 29 years of age. It was found that about one in five adults infrequently engage in or never attend religious services, but do regular religious practices on their own. Going beyond public and private religious practices to measure religiosity, the survey showed the level of importance that religion has in peoples' lives. Overall, 44% of Canadians place a high degree of importance on religion in their life. Again, this is associated with age, region of residence, immigration status and the frequency of public and private religious practices. Almost half (45%) of those Canadian adults who do not regularly attend services but who engage in religious activities on their own at least once a month place a high degree of importance on their religion. This suggests that more Canadian adults attach a high degree of importance to religion than attendance figures alone would indicate. Not surprisingly, individuals who regularly attend services are most likely to place
high importance on religion (87%). In contrast, only 15% of those who
infrequently or never participate in public or private religious practices place high importance on religion. Finally, the survey looked at affiliation, attendance, personal practices and importance of religion. It was found that people attended religious services or choose religious denominations to please their loved ones. Individuals with no religious affiliation were assigned a score of 0, while those with an affiliation received a score ranging from 1 to 13. A score of 1 indicates that the person does not attend religious services, does not engage in religious practices on their own, and places no importance on religion. A score of 13 indicates that the person attends religious services at least once a week, engages in personal religious practices at least once a week, and places a great deal of importance on religion. To simplify the analysis of
religiosity, Canadians were grouped into three broad categories based on their religiosity index, low (0 to 5), moderate (6 to 10) and high (11 to 13). The group with 'low religiosity' includes persons with no religious affiliation. Based on these criteria, 40% of Canadians have a low degree of religiosity, while 31% are moderately religious and 29% are highly religious. Again, religiosity is lowest among young people and higher among individuals in older age groups. Men are also much more likely to have low religiosity than women. Across the country, low levels of religiosity are most prevalent in British Columbia. One might guess that the prevalence of Chinese visible minorities in British Columbia may contribute to the British Columbia's low level of religiosity since levels of religiosity (as measured here) are low among this group and they comprise a larger share of British Columbia's population than other provinces. They do in part, but by far the greatest contributor is the low religiosity among non-visible minorities in British Columbia. Nonvisible minorities in British Columbia are one and half times as likely as non-visible minorities in Ontario to have low religiosity (57% versus 38%). The degree of religiosity expressed by Canadians is associated with the religious background of their parents. Of those who say that neither of their parents had a religion, 85% have a low degree of religiosity and 10% have a high degree. In contrast, of those who say that both of their parents had similar religious backgrounds, 32% have a low degree of religiosity and 33% have a high degree. This is consistent
with other studies that show religious parents are most likely to pass their
religion on to their children and this occurs most often when both parents have similar religious backgrounds. About four in ten (41%) of the immigrants who arrived in Canada between 1982 and 2001 have a high degree of religiosity, compared with 26% of persons born in Canada. However, there is considerable variation in levels of religiosity among immigrants from different regions of the world. High levels of religiosity are most prevalent among immigrants from South Asia (e.g. India and Pakistan), South East Asia (e.g. the Philippines) and the Caribbean and Central and South America. In contrast, high levels of religiosity are least prevalent among immigrants from East Asia (e.g. China and Japan) and Western/Northern Europe (e.g. France and the United Kingdom) and Eastern Europe (e.g. Hungary). The last several decades have witnessed an increasing share of the population reporting no religion and a decreasing share reporting monthly or weekly attendance at religious services. However, declining attendance may overstate the extent to which Canada is becoming secularized, since a considerable proportion of Canadians do not attend religious services
but do engage in private religious practices of their own. Similarly, some
Canadians who do not attend services still attach a high degree of importance to religion in their life. This suggests that while attendance rates have declined, many Canadians continue to practice their private religious beliefs in the privacy of their homes. The study showed that the numbers of members a religion has can be very misleading. Take the example of the Roman Catholic church in Canada. Most people who claim to be catholic, are catholic in name only. These were baptize into that church and religion when they were babies. They had little choice in the matter. Others rarely attend mass or adhere fully to the teachings of the catholic church. A large percentage of Catholics do not comply fully with their Pope decrees. They in fact openly disagree and work against some of the Pope's decrees. I suspect that is the trend with most of the established religions around the
world. I recall some priest had claimed that the Roman Catholic received its religion from GOD. The truth is that those morons, and I mean that in the full sense of the word, had received their made up religious teaching through the opinions of their early church fathers, who had invented their phony pagan god, Je-Zeus Christ. What a bunch of malarkey that spews out of their mouth to justify their heretical, apostate, perverted pagan Christian religion. Frankly, I am not the least surprised by what was reviled in that survey. In this day and age where knowledge is available to the general public, people have come to realize how inadequate, fictitious and pagan
that Catholic and other traditional major religions are. They are as phony as the secular beliefs of Santa Clause, the Tooth Fairy or the Easter Bunny. Yet; at the same time, it is surprising how many Canadians are foolish enough to believe in those fictitious, pagan traditional religions and are gullible enough to financially support them. But then again, it is a well known fact that there are always a segment of society, who are born suckers, who are gullible enough to believe anything from those religious prostitutes. They are the greatest harlots in any given society because what they give your trusting nature and your generous donations, is a phony theology, it is not real.
