Many people are sheeple. Just follow the leader, believe and do what yer told without question. Many religions expect that of their members. And that very expectation is a sign of false teachings. They are afraid if the members know too much they will apostatize. I grew up in a religion and with a mother who taught open minded thinking. Consider every aspect, do therough research and decide what is truth based on weight of evidence. Dont jump to conclusions, hold doubtful things in neutral until all the evidence is brought to the table and analyzed. A proper scientific approach.
But that approach over the course of 50 years has had interesting results. I could make a few statements. Like, "You cant tell me there aint no God, I seen too much proof to the contrary" If all the evidence were laid out on a table and compared, there would be no contest to any logical scientific mind. One little point among a great many is the polonium halos in granit. Another is the ancient egyptian war chariat debri scattered across the sea floor just where the isrealites would have crossed under Moses leadership. Theres oodles of stuff to consider. Especially those ancient prophecies in the old book of Daniel. Compare them with history of the next 2500 years. Perfect match. But they point out mainline christianity as culprit for most of the worlds evil. Wow, no wonder mainline christianity refuses to look at it seriously. Our Creator is very much alive and in control of our world. But he has an enemy as well, and the situation is such that He has to give the enemy a long enough rope to hang himself. Anyone tries to tell me different. Id have to claim "you just havent seen and considered all the evidence yet, yer looking at a one sided view"
A common argument against God is: I wouldnt belive in a god who would be so cruel as to torture people forever.
I agree. Thats a bad corrupted teaching. It comes out of old pagan traditions. Invented by rulers to control their people with fear. And miantained by "christians" against logic and very plain statements in the Bible saying otherwise. The system of justice laid out in the Bible is very logical, very fair, and very merciful. It tells of a time when all evil is eliminated, every purpretrator of evil has met their just punishment and been permantly eliminated. Then this world restored to perfection and given to those of us who were found worthy, that is they demonstrated willingness to live in harmony with the laws of life. It would be really stupid of anyone to take any chance of missing out on that oppurtunity. It is just too good to miss.
And. "You cant tell me nakedness is wrong, Ive seen too much proof that its good, honerable, and innocent"
Again, anyone crying foul on that one hasnt bothered to look through all the evidence yet.
But the research didnt stop there. I can claim the whole medical system is a fraud when it comes to cancer. They make too much money from it to want to cure it.
The whole system of power by burning fuel became outdated almost before the IC engine got going good. But oil men put a stop to energy technology advancement right where it made them the most money, and theyve been stopping it behind the scenes ever since. Secret assanation of inventors is not uncommon. If serious death threats dont silence them. Keeping the populace ignorant slaves to oil makes them their wealth. Its polution being the byproduct of their greed.
Then theres the whole system of agriculture. Its a royal mess. Wonder why disease and birth defects are getting bad? Thats why. Toxic chemicals in your food. And really poor food quality. What is called good quality is very medeocre. I have to fix that for myself, grow my own.
Which brings us back to the drug companies. Disease, illness, is what makes them rich. Healthy people dont need pills. So its to their advantage to keep us sick. The key to real health? Eat what God gave Adam and Eve to eat, in the same environment and condition they ate it. And grow it ourselves, nutrient dense with rich natural mineral feed to the plants.
The more i dig into what man has done, the more corruption i run into. But the more i dig into the natural world. The more perfection and beauty I find. Except for the corruption that has intruded into the natural world. I find that what makes plants healthy, and their product taste good, is the same that makes us healthy who were designed to eat those plant products. Unaltered from the plant. Heating kills the life. And life imparts life.
Overall, I find the truth in that book, the bible. By logic, by extensive research, and by scientific analysis. But the religions of the world. 99% of Christianity included, are a mess of false teachings, corruption and evil, confusion. Babylon is how the bible puts it. Using the name as a symbol of the whole mass of confusion. Much of it claims the bible as thier guide. Yah right! Tradition is really their guide. They read the bible and warp it to fit tradition. Seem blind to what they do.
For example, most of the christian world does their churchin on Sunday. Why? Because the pagans worshiped the sun on Sunday. And christianity converted to paganism some 1500-1700 years ago, and remains converted to it.
Our Creator commanded 7th day observance in recognition and honor of him as our creator. No change ever mentioned. Except as done by an apostate power.
The garden of eden is where the Creator started things off, our first grandparents nude in a tropical garden. He invented naturism, who are we to forbid it?
