View Full Version : Jews pay for anti-Christianity slogans on hundreds of buses worldwide

Atheist adverts declaring that "there's probably no God" have been placed on 800 buses around Britain after an unprecedented fundraising campaign.
Organiser, jewess Ariane Sherine (http://www.guardian.co.uk/commentisfree/2009/jan/06/religion-atheism) originally hoped to put the message on just a handful of London buses, as an antidote to posters put up by religious groups which they claimed were "threatening eternal damnation" to non-believers.
But after the campaign received high-profile support from the prominent atheist Prof Richard Dawkins and the British Humanist Association, the modest Ł5,500 target was met within minutes and more than Ł140,000 has now been donated since the launch in October.
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/newstopics/howaboutthat/4141765/Atheist-buses-denying-Gods-existence-take-to-streets.html
"Almost without exception, the intellectual leaders of Marxist atheism in Germany were Jews, among them being Erich Weinert, Felix Abraham, Dr. Levy-Lenz and others. At regular meetings, held in the presence of a notary public, members were requested to register their declaration of withdrawal from their church for a fee of 2 Marks. And this the fight for atheism was carried on. Between 1918 and 1933 the withdrawals from the German Evangelical Churches alone amounted to two- and-a-half million persons in Germany. The programme which these atheistic societies laid down in regard to sexual matters is amply charcterized in the following demands publicly expressed at meetings and distributed in leaflet form:
1) The complete abrogation of the paragraphs of the law dealing with the crime of abortion, and the right to have abortion procured free of charge in State Hospitals.
2) Non-interference with prostitution.
3) The abrogation of all bourgeois-capitalistic regulations in regard to marriage and divorce.
4) Official registration to be optional and the children to be educated by the community.
5) Abrogation of all penalties for sexual perversities and amnesty to be granted to all persons condemned as 'sexual criminals'.
"Truly a case of methodical insanity, which has for its aim the wilful destruction of the nations and their civilization and the substitute of barbarism as a fundamental principle of public life.
"Where are the men behind the scenes of this virulent world movement? Who are the inventors of all this madness? Who transplanted this ensemble into Russia and is today making the attempt to have it prevail in other countries? The answer to these question discloses the actual secret of our anti-Jewish policy and our uncomromising fight against Jewry; for the Bolshevic International is in reality nothing less than a Jewish International."
Part of a speech by Dr. Joseph Goebbels, delivered in Nuernberg on September 13th, 1935 at the Seventh National-Socialist Party Congress.

'Jewish lobby' model for atheist
JTA, Published: 10/02/2007
A renowned atheist cited the "Jewish lobby" as a model for his campaign to promote atheism in the United States.
Richard Dawkins said he wanted to gain the same kind of influence as the Jewish lobby, saying it "monopolizes" U.S. foreign policy.
"When you think about how fantastically successful the Jewish lobby has been, though, in fact, they are less numerous I am told -- religious Jews anyway -- than atheists and [yet they] more or less monopolize American foreign policy as far as many people can see," Dawkins, a British evolutionary biologist who advocates atheism, told the Guardian newspaper. "So if atheists could achieve a small fraction of that influence, the world would be a better place."
Dawkins, an Oxford professor who wrote the best-seller "The God Delusion," told the Guardian that he wants to organize American atheists to counter the influence of religious groups.
"I think some sort of political organization is what they need," he said.

Everybody in Europe who follows international events knows about the power of your jewish lobby. The only country in the world where it's a taboo to mention the power of this lobby is the USA itself. He didn't say anything shocking, and people in the UK wouldn't have been outraged or surprised by this statement. It's not un-PC here to say that America is Israel's bitch.

The atheist movement is an anti-Christian/European movement shrouded under the guise of "reason."
It seeks not to discredit the Jewish religion, and to a lesser extent Muslims (although Daniel Dennet does focus on them). The focus of the vitriol, ridicule and aggression is the Christian religion. I read Dawkins and most of Hitchen's book and they are mostly a take-down of Christianity. Some lip service from Hitchens regarding the Old Testament and the tradition of rabbis sucking the foreskin off of circumcised babies' cocks, but that was about it.
No mention of the Talmud and its racist/genocidal/sexually depraved/fecal obsessed tendencies. Nothing about Jewish women shaving their heads and wearing wigs. Nothing about racist, apartheid Israel. All advertisements are directed at Christians, especially during the Christmas season. It is them, criticising US. AGAIN.
This is not a western lead/dominated quest for reason. It's just another way for the filthy Khazars to get in their daily two minutes of hate.

The atheist movement is jew run at at the top, just as xainity is jewish. Eitherway the jews win getting the goyium to fight over two ends of a jewish construction, xainity and atheism.
Christianity, because it is not only a lie, but also a stupid one at that, leads to atheism. True atheism is belief only in the material world with removal of all spiritual/occult knowledge. This knowledge is then kept in the hands of the Jews so they have total control and they themselves as a collective whole, especially at the top become “God.” The bible with the fictitious Jewish nazarene and all the fictitious Jewish patriarchs and heroes is a very powerful subliminal tool in priming suseptible Gentiles into accepting Jewish masters.
The Jews want it gone because it has pretty much done its job by removing all occult knowledge, which is their power, and they wish to insitute communism. The majority of Gentiles now are without spiritual knowledge and powerless.

Atheists go after Christianity because it so thoroughly dominates Western culture. If one is 100% convinced that faith in God is bunk (not my own position, BTW) they would naturally be concerned about it forming the foundations of the society they belong to.
And naturally their interest in Islam and Judaism is going to be secondary. Should they also be debunking Jainism and Shintoism while they're at it?

I doubt the bible believers on this forum will accept this, but this is correct.
The agenda of Talmudic judaism is one where jews are elevated to the status of their God, in the form of Israel, whilst reducing the rest of the world to a communist mass devoid of any true spirituality. Basically an atheistically mob.
Christianity was merely a stepping stone.
....and so from the position of the jew, it's a redundant Ideo.

I dont want to hijack but this is something I've been wanting to talk about. You are so right.
When I first read Nietzsche's "Beyond Good and Evil" I was a bit depressed at the fact that we had been "conquered" by this desert slave morality eons ago, and essentially the fight was over. I did not like that my religion was birthed from the Jews.
But the more I think about it, the more I disagree. I now see Christianity as the greatest triumph of all. I see it as a testament to the goodness of the European soul. It is the triumph of universalism, love, beauty, forgiveness, acceptance, non-judgement, modesty, peace and art over a vile, genocidal, ethnocentric, hateful, sexually depraved, infanticidal, guruistic, mean spirited, usurious religion.

Anyhow, what does it matter what a Jew believes? Of course you Christ-killers don't get it. When Christ was resurrected, he told the apostles to spread the word to all nations. However, the word that the Jews got was the the apostles simply stole the body and there was no resurrection. God duped you. Why? He is sick of you and your antics.

Don't bother, i've read it and it's ridiculous garbage.
I especially laughed when I came across the story of how man and the animals were created...........
"And God said, ‘Let the earth bring forth living creatures of every kind: cattle and creeping things and wild animals of the earth of every kind.’ And it was so. God made the wild animals of the earth of every kind, and the cattle of every kind, and everything that creeps upon the ground of every kind. And God saw that it was good.
Then God said, ‘Let us make humankind in our image, according to our likeness; and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the birds of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the wild animals of the earth, and over every creeping thing that creeps upon the earth.’ So God created humankind in his image, in the image of God he created them; male and female he created them. [Genesis 1:24-27 (NRSV)]
versus....
… when no plant of the field was yet in the earth and no herb of the field had yet sprung up — for the Lord God had not caused it to rain upon the earth, and there was no one to till the ground; but a stream would rise from the earth, and water the whole face of the ground — then the Lord God formed man from the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and the man became a living being…
Then the Lord God said, ‘It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him a helper as his partner.’ So out of the ground the Lord God formed every animal of the field and every bird of the air, and brought them to the man to see what he would call them; and whatever man called each living creature, that was its name. The man gave names to all cattle, and to the birds of the air, and to every animal of the field; but for the man there was not found a helper as his partner. [Genesis 2:5-7, 18-20 (NRSV)]"
.....and while you swallow that contradiction, think about where christainity got it's Logos idea from.

A perfect world for the jew.
It didn't quite work out that way until very recent times with the onset of cultural marxism, which demonizes christianity and seeks its destruction. I will ask again why is there such an intense level of hate from the worst kind of people if it is so good for their interests. I have asked this question a million times and I have seen others ask it and I have yet to recieve a satisfactory answer. I am more than open to hearing it.
Also are we really to assume here that something created by jews for solely destructive purposes would have struck something so deep in the European soul as to become such a fundemental and long standing part of the cultures? It seems to me that people have taken the basic tenets of the religion and turned it into something reflective and suitable for their particular cultures.

Any sincere Christian has his reasons for his faith. Often those reasons are hard to explain or express but that doesn't necessarily mean that they can be reduced merely to psychological influences. The problem that the believer faces when explaining his faith to a non-believer is expressed by Plato's cave. Your worldview is one that seems to exclude the idea of Grace, but for Christians Grace is such a concrete fact that they would be betraying themselves if they turned their back on it - it would be as if the Christian is returning to his former life in the cave.

The Christians on this board are very much questioning the status quo, we don't live in an age when traditional Christian doctrine is treated very seriously or is even popular. In fact if anything the new atheists seem to be the 'new thing', from my point of view it is the traditional Christian who is questioning the status quo of our secular and increasingly irreligious society. In fact, most of the Christians here are either a traditionalist or conservative of some sort and many of us are concerned for the status quo not only of society but of our own denominations.

I think it's more likely that you've been brainwashed, given the long tradition of tribal propaganda/narcissistic social control. It seems that when their ideas are analysed, religious believers appear to have been indoctrinated with ideas that simply have no correlation with the real world, they are conceptual artefacts that have no empirical reality outside of a few books that someone in a position of authority claims are truth.
I questioned my beliefs as a young man. I didn't openly accept what my parents raised me to believe and spent time visiting other places of faith and familiarising myself with their doctrine. There have been many hundreds of thousands of people claiming with absolute certaintly that their insight into godhead is truth and their leaders have benefited greatly from it. That alone should cause you to raise your guard - and that's apart from the psychological gratification such people take in the process of control and the narcissism of spiritual authority.
That is entirely aside from the increasingly powerful scientific position, which is doing an excellent job at explaining phenomena that were formally considered matters of the soul. Experiences such as ecstasy or rage can be triggered via neurological manipulation or emotional response can be pinpointed to specific parts of the brain.

So? They are wrong. Their religions are false. There are also hundreds of millions of people who call themselves Christians who I think are full of crap. They are wolves in sheeps clothing and secret atheists, if not just lazy dupes.

You are delusional if you think that your science is disproving God. Who made your brain? Who designed all of that neurological wonder you love so much? You think that you can pinpoint everything to atoms and figure that atoms are responsible, not God? You are fooling yourself. All you're doing is studying God's creation. You're not disproving a single thing.
I also don't subscribe to any notions that human beings are prisoners of our genetics, and that our behavior is simply controlled by chemical reactions. Even science is disproving this nonsense. And if you can't control yourself because your genes suck and have bad chemical reactions in your brain, it's because you're cursed, and you're fitted for destruction.

I've considered it long ago. If I were to reconsider it now, I'd have to seriously lie to myself.
My personal experience aside, I find the idea of an entirely physical existence to be completely ridiculous. Pure folly.

You're still avoiding the question: who brainwashed him, or me, or any of the other posters here who came to accept a traditional, conservative faith on their own, as adults, and in spite of a culture that militates against it?
If you happen to be raised in a Christian family you will more than likely be a Christian adult and swear blind that your beliefs are true. Likewise if you are Jew, Muslim or Sikh. A legitimate process of inquiry involves evaluating the so-called facts about the reality around you and either absorbing them as potential or discarding them. Every other fact about reality requires a process of rational enquiry and is sustainable in the face of rational critique. Not so Scientology and not so Christianity, not so Judaism or Astrology for that matter.
It is that which should be an important priority to anybody who wishes to understand the truth. Raise a child to believe in the reality of the powers of Tarot for example, and they will believe it until and if they develop the intellectual capacity and inclination to rationally question it. Otherwise they will be caught in what most people believe to be a load of cobblers.

You are delusional if you think that your science is disproving God. Who made your brain? Who designed all of that neurological wonder you love so much? You think that you can pinpoint everything to atoms and figure that atoms are responsible, not God? You are fooling yourself. All you're doing is studying God's creation. You're not disproving a single thing.
No, unlike the religious believers I think the source for our existence cannot be pinpointed yet. As for the question of design, do you find it compelling that a complex brain indicates a designer rather than the pressures of environmental selection? Why do you think that, if not because you were told it is so?
I also don't subscribe to any notions that human beings are prisoners of our genetics, and that our behavior is simply controlled by chemical reactions. Even science is disproving this nonsense. If you're referring to the claim that humans 'free-will' is a matter of physicality, how is science disproving that?
My personal experience aside, I find the idea of an entirely physical existence to be completely ridiculous. Pure folly. Quite honestly, I have a difficult time imagining how so many people could reach that conclusion. Atheism is the most insane religion ever known. It's a delusion and a curse from God.
It's insane, why? I don't mean militant atheism which claims there is definitely no God, I'm referring to the sceptical position which requires persuasive proof that God exists. Where's the insanity in that?

Also are we really to assume here that something created by jews for solely destructive purposes would have struck something so deep in the European soul as to become such a fundemental and long standing part of the cultures? It seems to me that people have taken the basic tenets of the religion and turned it into something reflective and suitable for their particular cultures.
Yes, because they created xainity with enough of the Pagan Template to use our racial psyche against us, to push it on us. It's purpose is served, our race is on the level of low consciousness most removed from acessing the part of the psyche of the powers of the soul, the jews have climbed to the top and our original spiritual leadership was killed off or subverted awhile ago.
Now that our race is locked into a soley materialist paradigm Communism is the next step. There is nothing spiritual about xianity it's a distraction. Show me the legions of our race with advanced spiritual abilities? Infact most xians don't even believe it possible as that is how well xianity has done it's job most of our race have no knowledge of their own souls and how to empower them, even if they still know they have one.
The following excerpt was taken from "Nature's Eternal Religion" by Ben Klassen
http://www.666blacksun.com/Xianity_communism.html
Note* Although this article was written for a white audience, Jewish communism affects all Gentiles [non-jews] regardless of race, and this is definitely worth a read. Christianity is a preparation for communism, its doctrines are identical with communist philosophy, and there is nothing spiritual about it. All occult knowledge and power that would enable Gentiles to fight back through spiritual warfare [what the Jews have been using against us for centuries] has been systematically removed. After being forcibly removed with the Inquisition, this power has been in the hands of the top Jewish rabbis to throw curses, create unimaginable wealth and power, and to use at will against Gentiles. In other words, as the "YHVH" aka "Jehova" is in truth the Jewish people, they become "God."
Communism is another Jewish brotherhood scam that fools Gentiles into thinking it is for equality, peace, and better living. Nothing could be further from the truth. It is a Jewish program of genocide, mass-murder, and slavery for Gentiles, regardless of color.
Quote from the Jewish Talmud: Nidrasch Talpioth, p. 225-L:
"Jehovah created the non-Jew in human form so that the Jew would not have to be served by beasts. The non-Jew is consequently an animal in human form, and condemned to serve the Jew day and night."
Christianity and Communism: Jewish Twins from "Nature's Eternal Religion" by Ben Klassen
To hear the Kosher Konservatives tell it, a fierce, intensive battle is raging today between the evil forces of communism and the sacred forces of Christianity. We are led to believe that it is an all out battle between good and evil. We are told that these two forces are the very essence of two poles of opposition — in complete and diametrical conflict. It is a sham battle. The fact is they are both degenerate products of the collective Jewish mind, designed to do one and the same thing — to destroy the White Race. If we take a closer look at these two evil forces that have bedeviled and tormented the minds of the White Race for all these years, we find that they are not on opposite sides at all. We find that they are both on the side of international Jewry, doing the job they were designed to do, namely: confuse and confound the White Man's intelligence so that he himself will help the Jew in destroying the White Race.
In comparing the two we find that they are strikingly similar, and not opposites. In fact, there are so many similarities in the two programs and in the philosophy of these two creeds that the hand of the same author can easily be detected. That author is the International Jewish network. They and they alone wrote both the creed of Christianity and the creed of communism. Both communism and Christianity preach against materialism. Communism designates those productive and creative forces of our society to which we owe in such large part the benefits of a productive White civilization, as "bourgeois." It then lashes out with unparalleled fury at the bourgeois and tells us over and over again that they must be destroyed. Instead of giving credit where credit is due, it slanders and vilifies these constructive and productive elements, namely the bourgeois or the capitalists, as the ultimate in evil. Christianity tells us basically the same thing. It tells us that it will be more difficult for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to get to heaven. It tells us that we should "sell all thou hast and give it to the poor," an insidious piece of advice that, if followed, would make us all a pack of roving bums and beggars. It would most surely cause the breakdown of our society. Christianity further tells us "lay not up treasures on earth, but lay up treasures in heaven." Throughout, the implication is clear. Don't accumulate unto yourself any of the good things in life. If, through hard work, you've already managed to accumulate some wealth, get rid of it, give it away, give it to the poor, above all, give it to the Church, they'll take it, with relish. The net result of this fantastically bad advice, of course, is that it will more easily pass into the hands of the Jews, who do not subscribe to such foolishness. They hope to make fools of us, knowing very well the old saying "A fool and his money are soon parted," is only too true.
The other side of the coin is that the leaders of both Christianity and communism themselves are fantastically materialistic. When we look at the Catholic Church on down through the ages, we find that whereas they were extracting the last mite from the poor widow, the church itself was gathering up and hoarding gold, silver and precious gems in unbelievable quantities. Not only was it taking in and gathering all the gold, silver and precious stones that it could, but it acquired huge amounts of real estate, and the Catholic Church today is undoubtedly the most fantastically wealthy institution on the face of the earth. Even through the Dark Ages when poverty was widespread, mostly because of Christianity itself, we find these huge and fabulously rich cathedrals, built in the midst of poverty, with gold encrusted altars and apses and vaults and columns and walls. The leadership of the Church caused to be built huge and great Basilicas, Cathedrals, Abbeys, Baptisteries, Mausoleums, Convents, and Churches. Practically all of these were so lavish and so huge in comparison with the meager surroundings of the times, that they flamboyantly stood out as the main repository of all the material wealth — gold, silver and architectural lavishness — of both their era and their geographical location. The church never has bothered to explain why it was so necessary to have such lavish wealth on display to the worshipping faithful, who were told time and again that it was evil to "lay up treasures." Unto this day, churches are built to be flamboyant, garish and bizarre. Money seems to be no object.
The Vatican, that citadel of "spiritual" leadership, which also preaches, "lay not up treasures on earth," does not practice what it preaches. On the contrary, what it practices is indeed the height of hypocrisy, and the antithesis of spirituality. It goes all out for laying up treasures on earth. It has amassed unto itself a portfolio of 5.6 billion dollars in stocks alone, not to mention all of its real estate, art treasures and other valuables. It enjoys an annual income of 1.5 billion dollars, much of it undoubtedly collected from the "widow's last mite," as well as its vast holdings. Next Back Home The United States religious establishment as a whole is valued at 102 billion dollars. In 1969, of the 17.6 billion dollars United States individuals contributed to charity, 45 percent, or 7.9 billion dollars was earmarked for religious purposes. Pretty materialistic for a religion that "shuns" earthly treasures and preaches "my kingdom is not of this world."
Likewise, the communist bosses in Russia, practically all of which are Jews, have accumulated unto themselves all the riches of the countryside. While the communist slave laborer is toiling away twelve hours a day and then comes home to a dingy, dirty, filthy, crowded little apartment shared with other families, his Jewish bosses have opulent palaces spread all over the countryside. They drive the best of cars, chauffeur driven, of course, and eat the best of foods. Not only that, but they have the best of planes at their disposal to fly wherever they see fit to govern their slave laborers. These Jewish communist bosses usually also have at their disposal imported clothes and tailors and a galaxy of servants. When they need a rest from running their slave empire, they have private villas on the Black Sea or other choice vacation spots at their beck and call. And so it goes in the Proletarian Worker's Paradise.
Let us pass on to the next similarity. Both communism and Christianity make extensive use of the weapons of terror, both psychological and real. Undoubtedly the most ghoulish and vicious concept ever contrived by the depraved and collective mind of Jewry is the concept of hell. Can you think of anything more horrible than placing millions of people in confinement in a superheated torture chamber and then burning them forever and ever without even the mitigating mercy of allowing them to die? With this piece of "Good News," and "Joyful Tidings," Christianity set out to conquer the minds of its superstitious and unreasoning victims. The fact that such a torture chamber was non-existent did not at all detract from the fact that it was a real threat to those who were made to believe that it was real. To a child, for instance, if you tell him that the Boogieman is going to get him, and he innocently believes you, then the threat is just as real as if a Boogieman actually existed. And so it is with hell. To those that have become convinced that it exists, this horrible threat is just as real as if it did exist. However, Christianity did not stop with using psychological terror alone. Those who deviated from the official church line were declared as heretics and forthwith burned at the stake. The idea of using fire in one form or another as a means of torturing their opponents seems to have obsessed these "loving" Christians' minds. According to van Braght's famous Martyr's Mirror, some 33,000 Christians were put to death by other so-called Christians by means of burning at the stake, a grizzly type of revenge. Among my ancestors alone (who were of the Mennonite faith) some 2,000 martyrs were burned at the stake by these ever-loving Christians. One outstanding feature about this burning at the stake business was that they were always White people who were being burned. Never have I ever heard of a Jew being burned at the stake for not believing precisely along specified lines of Judaism, even though they did not believe in Christ at all. Burning at the stake wasn't the only means of torture and death used by these love-dispensing Christians who were so eager lo spread their message of love.
During the Inquisition, and other times, all the beastly refinements of torture that the depraved human mind could devise were used to extort confessions and whip the unbelievers or heretics into line. The thumb-screw, water-dip, the iron corset, drawn and quartered, gouging out one's eyes with hot irons, and the rack (slowly tearing limb from body by means of stretching) were but some of the devices used by these ever-loving Christians to spread their gospel of Love. When the communists came along and used physical torture as one of their instruments of conquest, they had very little left to invent but what the Christians had already utilized before them. And this is as can be expected, since it was Jewish fiendishness that designed the means of torture for both. Nor did the Church hesitate to use wholesale warfare to batter down whole nations that did not submit to their religious dictation. In fact during the 16th, 17th and 18th century the main causes of war were religious dissentions in which one religious group sought to force their beliefs on their opposites by wholesale warfare and slaughter. The communist record of using wholesale terror, both psychological and physical, is so recent, so widespread and so well known that we need hardly review it here.
In Russia alone the Jewish communist regime used terror on a scale unknown before in the annals of history. In order to exterminate the best of the White Race in Russia, namely the White Russians, the Jews slaughtered some 20,000,000. The terror, the killings, the murders that are going on in Russia today defy the imagination of the average White Man's mind. In any case, both communism and Christianity are using, and have used, terror extensively, both psychological and physical, to subjugate their victims. Whereas the Christians excelled in psychological terror, the communists excel in physical terror. But in both cases the Jews were experts in using whatever type of terror best accomplished their ends. Both communism and Christianity have a book that presumably lays down the creed of their movement. Christianity has the Jewish bible which was written by Jews, mostly about Jews, for the purpose of uniting the Jewish race and for destroying the White Race.
The communist bible is Karl Marx's Das Kapital and the Communist Manifesto, written by Karl Marx in conjunction with Friedrich Engels, both of whom were Jews. Both of these Jewish creeds, communism and Christianity, are highly destructive, and when followed, tear down the fabric of the society that has fallen victim to them. Christianity teaches the evilness of man, that he is a no-good, unworthy sinner, that he is born in sin and that his every instinct is evil. Communism preaches that the productive, creative element of our society, namely the "bourgeois" as they call them, is rotten and evil, and must be destroyed. It can be safely said that any sound, healthy society that turned either to complete Christianity and practiced all of its principles, or any society that practiced pure communism, would soon destroy itself. Again we want to vigorously point out that contrary to what these Kosher Konservatives are always telling us, communism is by no means the same as socialism or collectivism. The latter are basic constructive elements of any healthy society, but communism is an undisguised Jewish slave-labor camp. Since I have gone into this matter in considerable detail in another chapter, we will not take further space to review this idea here. Both communism and Christianity preach the equality of man. Christianity preaches that we are all equal in the eyes of the Lord, whereas the communists preach that we all must become equal in the communist society. The latter argue that the only reason we are not equal is entirely due to environment, and this little quirk of Nature they are going to correct. By the time they get through processing us all in an equal environment, they assure us they will have leveled us all down to where we are all equal.
This will only be too true, for the White Race will be leveled down to where they are all equal to a horde of miserable slaves, whereas every Jew, on the other hand, will be a king. Not only do both communism and Christianity preach the equality of the individual, but they also preach the equality of races, another vicious lie thrown in the face of Nature. Both creeds have a very tricky dogma that is rather nebulous and confusing, not to say contradictory, in itself. They both, therefore, have set up a hierarchy that interprets what the correct dogma of the day is and everyone is to toe the line or suffer the consequences of an entrenched power structure. Christianity and communism both have had their schisms. In the case of Christianity, the followers that differed were called heretics and in the case of communism, those that stray from the official line are called deviationists. In the case of Christianity, the Great Schism, of course, was during the Reformation when the Protestant segment developed and broke away from the Catholic Church. It then proceeded to split and splinter in a thousand different directions from there on out, all to the detriment and destruction of the White Race. The first great split, of course, was when the Byzantine Empire split from the Roman or Western half.
Among the communists there were a number of schisms such as the Mensheviks and the Bolsheviks, and a number of other schisms, before the communists ever came to power. After they did come to power, there were the Stalinist communists and the Trotskyite communists, the latter being vigorously pursued and purged from the ranks. Now we presumably have the Mao wing of the communist party and for a while we had the Tito deviationists, and so on. In any case, the main idea in Christianity and communism is the same: On top of a confusing and impossible dogma sits a tight powerful hierarchy which dictates and interprets what the line of its followers must be, and terror, death and reprisal are the consequences to those who dare to think for themselves. It is not at all surprising that the archenemy of both these Jewish creeds is Adolph Hitler, because he dared to come out with a healthy, natural social structure that embodied those principles that were in harmony with the natural laws, and with the healthy instincts for the preservation of the White Race. We, therefore, find the Jewish press, the communist press, and Christianity, all in chorus, denouncing Adolph Hitler, and telling us what a terrible, terrible man he was. All perpetrate and repeat over and over again the same Jewish lies about Hitler that the Jews themselves have dreamed up and supplied to their toadying stooges. The similarities between these creeds go on and on. Both preach the destruction of the present society. They especially zero in on the destruction and downgrading of the more creative and productive elements of society as a whole. Both denounce and vilify the better elements of established society and rejoice at human failures and weaknesses, thereby claiming to prove the correctness of their communist-Christian theory.
The Jews, who are the perpetrators of communism, envision the United Nations headquarters to finally rest in Israel and in particular, in Jerusalem. Christianity too, continuously keeps talking about Zion, the New Jerusalem, and looks to Jerusalem as the Holy Land, its origin and spiritual headquarters. Both of these Jewish creeds consistently follow policies which are disastrous to the welfare of the White Race. I have already gone into considerably detail about the catastrophic effects of Christianity on the great White Roman civilization. I have also pointed out previously that the Jews in communist Russia killed off 20,000,000 of the best White Russians. However, the programs and policies of both these creeds extend much further than these two major catastrophes of history and to point out how disastrous the effects of both Christianity and communism have been upon the fortunes of the White Race would require a whole volume in itself. I believe we have scattered throughout this book a mass of such examples that it is hardly necessary to again repeat them here. Another similarity that manifests itself in both of these Jewish creeds is that both have an incurable ability to put forth a profuseness of verbiage that is extremely vague and beclouded with confusion. Not only is the verbiage profuse, but incredibly lacking in substance. This is an old Jewish trick to confuse and confound the minds of their opposition, the latter being deceived into thinking that all this vast collection of words must have some higher meaning beyond their comprehension.
To further destroy and beat back the opposition, both creeds have developed to a high state the art of hurling vicious trigger words and hate words at their opponents. The Christians developed such hate-trigger words as atheist, heathen, heretic, apostate, blasphemy, pagan, sinner and anti-Christ. The communists have developed a whole stable of similar trigger words, and some of these are Fascist, Nazi, racist, bigot, prejudice, and anti-Semitic. Without anyone really stopping to analyze what each of these words mean and why they should be considered as bad, these words have been developed to a high state of implied evil so that by just merely calling these names, you need not really debate the issues, but mercilessly strike down your opponents without resorting to any debate or reasoning whatsoever. If the similarities between Christianity and communism seem rather striking, there is a very good reason for their parallel ideology. That reason is, of course, they were both concocted by the Jewish power structure for the common objective of destroying the White Race. Unfortunately, up to this point, both their ideologies have been devastatingly effective. It is partially the purpose of this book and the Creativity Movement to confront this devastating attack on the mind of the White Race and expose these twin Jewish ideologies for what they are. Furthermore, I am firmly convinced, and it is my measured conclusion, that the Jews could never have foisted modern communism on a long suffering humanity, had they not First softened up, unhinged and confused the intellect of the White Race with the fallacious snares of Christianity. It is therefore the further objective of Creativity to help straighten out the befuddled thinking of the White Race to where they then can, and will, expunge both of these twin Jewish scourges from the face of this planet.

You realize Jews are supposed to believe in God too?
Jews only believe in their own god, the only god that exists, the one that chose them to be his special favorites. This demon God of the Jews hates all of Mankind and has ordered the Jews to do everything they can to destroy Mankind and make themselves kings and masters of those few people who survive destruction.
According to the rabbis, non-Jews do not have souls and because they do not have souls, just like animals they do not have a god to whom they can pray. The rabbis teach that only Jews have souls. And because the Jews believe that they, alone, are human beings higher than the angels, then causing the death and destruction of Mankind is pleasing to their own special god and profitable to the Jews. The more dead Gentiles the Jews can cause, the more of the Gentiles' gold they can put in their own pockets.
Jews are formost among the atheists because they see it as their duty to destroy Mankind in whatever way they can. And by taking away Mankind's hope and by destroying Mankind's trust and belief in God, the Jews are more easily able to destroy Mankind. The Jews want to be the only ones who believe in a God because under the Jewsih belief system, those who do not believe, die, their souls are destroyed or they go to hell. So, the Jews try to promote atheism in the People so as to take away all hope and to send them all to hell.
This is what the Jews believe. This is why the Jews are at the forefront of atheism. Obviously, all Jews are devils.

You seem to believe that anyone who abandons atheism has been brainwashed. If you bothered even looking up who Anthony Flew is, you would not be saying such silly things. are you not even curious to find out who he is?
You don't seem to have a very inquiring mind, which is very strange coming from someone who claims to be searching for truth.
I don't think I'm the only one reading this and wondering what your point is about Anthony Flew. You obviously have something in mind or you would not have given him as an example, so for the love of God just get to the point and explain why you've mentioned him.
I'm sure that few of us have the time or inclination to meticulously research every individual you care to name in your posts, but at the very least you should summarise what the point is of mentioning him.
How does he support your position? As a point of principle you should state what you are driving at here.

As I've already stated, who truly knows what his personal circumstances were that led to his state of delusion - what do you both find so compelling about Antony Flew?
You made a general point, and we're looking for specific examples. Who brainwashed me, Flying Drumhead, Fidelis, Basil or Antony Flew? Can you back up your statement at all?
Can you even say who you imagine brainwashed one of us? How we fell into their wicked hands, what techniques they used, etc.? I'm asking mostly for the sake of comic value, of course.
Flew, by the way, was a respected atheist philosopher who changed his mind about certain arguments and as a result became a philosophical theist. So who brainwashed him?

No, I said they are likely the subject of brainwashing. On a person-by-person basis I cannot comment but as a broad phenomenon, the process suggests indoctrination.

Right, this is the end of my discussion of Anthony Flew. This seems to be a running trend by the religious side tonight - refer to an example but refuse to articulate why it matters. That is not civil discussion it is arrogant posturing.
There is a wealth of data on any prominent individual, you obviously consider his circumstances to be an example that counters my point yet you won't explain why. You are familiar with the man, you clearly have a point in mind - yet you will not state it and would prefer to repeatedly ask me to research him.

It requires you to type on your keyboard for a few seconds. Why not just give this real life of grace you're referring to, regardless of whether I understand it? Do you even have one?
Really, there's no need to put my sincerity in doubt. To borrow Basil's wording:
Why invoke something you dismiss as nonsense?
You see a religious conversion as a kind of brainwashing. Why then would my own experience matter? Hell, if you can shew away Antony Flew, then I have no hope of contributing anything further to the discussion with my own humble experience.
I know my experience can be 'rationalized', I've rationalized it myself several times in my life. Still I cannot explain it away no matter how hard I try because I know that what I experienced was genuine Grace.
Originally all I pointed out was that the experience of conversion is very real and unavoidable fact for the person who undergoes it. In fact it would irrational for me to deny it.

It depends on the personal circumstances - but I haven't said it is certain that religious belief is a delusion, just that it is likely.
I think I mentioned the potential mechanisms earlier in the thread: if you're raised to a religious belief then the 'truth' of the matter will be repeatedly inculcated into you by your own parents and the community that you grow up in.
If you converted then the trigger could have been a social experience (such as a marriage to a believer), a personal vulnerability which was exploited by a religious group or simply a frustration at the lack of meaning in life. It is a desirable belief that provides comfort. The next step is to immerse yourself in repeated affirmation that a 'sacred' document is true, not to analyse or critique its validity, simply to accept it as truth.

No that is not the point at all, according to my argument some people choose to disengage their rational faculties and embrace an environment which will indoctrinate them because they find the belief comforting, they want to believe. Others are told that it is the 'truth' since childhood and are subsequently completely immersed in the belief.
The point here is that the process of religious belief can be explained as voluntary or involuntary immersion into a delusion as a result of a desire to believe and enabled by a subsequent disengagement of rational inquiry.

It is human nature that people tend to favour the rationale that they prefer. Take the example of Scientology: The standard technique was not to advertise 'Scientology Conversion Here!' but instead to offer IQ and personality tests for free. When the person attends they may be told they have high intelligence but flaws in their personality, and presented with Scientology as the solution. If they happen to be vulnerable to this appeal, they'll then take the next step and volunteer for a process which many will agree amounts to gradual brainwashing.
The process of ironing out these flaws via intense psychological 'training courses' continues for years - and acolytes have claimed they are eventually told of the origin of human sin, which is a criminal squid-like entity called Xenu and the embedding of evil alien souls in their bodies. The person would never have believed this originally, they chose to proceed with the process - and I'm certain no believer in Scientology would ever permit you to call them brainwashed.
One can certainly 'volunteer for brainwashing'. If the benefits are desirable enough, people can abandon their critical faculties and embrace a paradigm that makes them happy, even if it involves total delusion. Nothing bizarre about it, it's human nature.

Have you studied Christianity at all? Western civilization? Art? Music? - the experience of Grace is expressed in so many ways its impossible to list them all.

The point here is that the process of religious belief can be explained as voluntary or involuntary immersion into a delusion as a result of a desire to believe and enabled by a subsequent disengagement of rational inquiry.I think this is a good explanation that pertains to many if not most religious believers.
I was raised Catholic from day one but never seriously questioned my religious beliefs until I reached young adulthood. Even as a child I was somewhat philosophically-minded about a number of things, but when it came to Christianity, I basically just took it for granted. It was reality to me. But as I got older, fear became the key element underlying my reluctance to question my religious upbringing. Religions such as Christianity dangle the ultimate carrot and wield the ultimate stick. Whenever I began to doubt aspects of my faith, I was plagued with nagging worry that by entertaining such doubts I was taking intolerable risks. Even if I thought the chances of going to hell were 0.1%, that was too much for me. So rather than dispassionately evaluate religious claims and arguments, I limited the use of my intellect to finding ways to justify my beliefs.
Is "brainwashed" the right word for such a state? I'm not sure. But it seems clear to me that religious belief is fundamentally irrational, as are all beliefs that aren't based on reason and/or evidence.
When some guy tells us that aliens from another dimension are communicating with him telepathically, we don't use that as a basis for discussion about epistemology, metaphysics, etc. We simply dismiss the guy's beliefs as crazy (even though we can't prove that what he's saying is false!). Why is the standard different for religion? The only difference I can see is that religious beliefs are much more popular and standardized. If there are other differences, I don't know what they are.

I think it's worth sharing these experiences because I suspect others have either had similar experiences or may currently see in themselves a bit of what I've described.
First of all, I do not accept for a moment that theism is irrational. I've never seen any argument that successfully shows this to be the case, or comes even close.Ah, but I didn't say theism is irrational. Good arguments can be made that the existence of some kind of God is at least worth considering. I myself accept the necessity of some kind of Prime Mover, though I'm not prepared to draw many conclusions regarding the nature of such an entity. This is why I'm an agnostic rather than an atheist.
What I said is that religious belief is irrational. At least that's my view of any religion I've ever heard of. They all make unfounded claims and then frequently represent those claims as absolute truth. Sorry if I wasn't clear about the distinction.
On the other point, there has to be something seriously wrong with your conclusion. Some of our most fundamental beliefs are held without justification, for instance our belief that we have a body. I can't justify this belief and yet I hold it, so do you! Are we making a mistake?As I've acknowledged elsewhere, there are fundamental limits to human knowledge. I don't believe it's possible for human beings to know absolute truth at its most fundamental level. So yes, we must make certain assumptions without justification in order to think, act, and communicate in a sane manner.
Where I draw the line, however, is at the making of assumptions beyond those that are necessary in order to avoid epistemological nihilism and have a discussion about anything at all. It's one thing to have faith in the evidence of our senses, that the rules of logic always correspond to reality, etc. But why go beyond this and assume on top of those other assumptions that grace emanates from God, that Jesus is Lord, or whatever?
When some guy tells us that aliens from another dimension are communicating with him telepathically, we don't use that as a basis for discussion about epistemology, metaphysics, etc.Of course not because his claims are irrelevant to, say, metaphysics because he's making empirical claims!He's not making a claim that can be empirically tested. Is Fidelis making an empirical claim when says he can feel God's grace?
Whether the claims of the person in the above "alien" example are related to metaphysics depends, I suppose, on how you conceive of telepathy -- whether it has a physical or immaterial basis. But epistemology certainly plays a role here. Again: why do we tend to doubt his claims, and maybe even seek to put him in a straitjacket, when we can't prove that he isn't actually receiving telepathic communications from aliens? By the same token, why don't we regard with equal skepticism the claims of those who claim to have received revelations, grace, etc., from God?
Because theism is not an empirical claim.Again, note my distinction between theism and religion. Religion is very frequently associated with empirical claims.

It didn't quite work out that way until very recent times with the onset of cultural marxism, which demonizes christianity and seeks its destruction. I will ask again why is there such an intense level of hate from the worst kind of people if it is so good for their interests. I have asked this question a million times and I have seen others ask it and I have yet to recieve a satisfactory answer. I am more than open to hearing it.
why not say - it was good for their interests.
Christianity was used as a way for the jews to be accepted by the European peoples.
In today's world, as they are amongst us, they no longer need it.
Also are we really to assume here that something created by jews for solely destructive purposes would have struck something so deep in the European soul as to become such a fundemental and long standing part of the cultures?
well, it's one or the other, they either created christainity for the benefit of the people in Europe, or for their destruction.
It seems to me that people have taken the basic tenets of the religion and turned it into something reflective and suitable for their particular cultures.

But the Faceless Kike says:
BS actually, you were left behind with childish conception of god , and that is why many wiser Europeans , ends eventually as Buddhists or alike.
Jews will tell any lie to destroy the non-Jews around them. The Faceless Kike is no different than the rest of them. Here's an example of Jewish Subversion (http://www.wntube.net/play.php?vid=1262) in video.

Christianity was used as a way for the jews to be accepted by the European peoples.
Yeah, that makes sense. The Jews wanted to get along in Europe, so they created a religion where they presented themselves as being guilty of killing God. Good plan!

... The point here is that the process of religious belief can be explained as voluntary or involuntary immersion into a delusion as a result of a desire to believe and enabled by a subsequent disengagement of rational inquiry.
Not simply a desire to believe, but also a need to.

People today typically have a need not to believe because of the way they live their lives.
In the past such ways of living would have rapidly led to social dissolution. In fact we are seeing social dissolution now.
God's Judgement seems menacing, but hardly more than a soulless mechanical world of bloody and merciless evolution.
Make a video from a Marxist or materialist standpoint and things seem just as stark.

The underlying message in the bible is Jewish Supremacy, as God is Jew, and the Messiah is a Jewish Rabbi who claims Salvation is of the Jews and all his first and early followers are Jews.
So this Yeshua character never denouces the Jews of which he is one, he claims that infact he has only come for the lost sheep of the house of Israel and to be the living son of the Jewish God Yahweh and of which salvation is only of the Jews. He just chimp's on a rival Priest sect which don't buy he is BenYahweh. Today how many xian sects are always fighting among themselves like that? Even causing religion wars in the past.
Hence why at this point the Christian Zionist movement in America is one of the most powerful in the Nation. Because xainity was always Jew worshipping Zionism, even Yesjewa is supposed to return on a White Horse and lead the world from the new Zion of Jerusalem.
Anyway this all serves also as a distraction for Gentiles from the knowledge of their spiritual Godhead of which the Jews state in the Protocols they will tear out of the Goyium mind.

The Bible: A Jewish Conspiracy
and
Hoax on the Gentiles
The Bible is a Jewish conspiracy. Christians are deluded under a powerful spell. Christianity is nothing more than a vicious program, with the goals of:
Forcing the Gentiles to give up all occult knowledge and power so all psychic power is in the hands of select Jews for total control.
Indoctrinating the the Gentile masses into pacifism and a slave-like mentality of servitude
Encouraging the Gentiles into giving up all money and worldly goods which is funneled into the hands of the ruling Jews and their Gentile lackeys like Billy Graham
Preparing the Gentile masses for a one world communist slave state with the ruling Jews in control.
Channeling Gentile psychic energy and prayers into the "Second coming of Christ" which is in reality the Jewish Messiah as any working of the mind must have a connection.
Cutting the Gentiles off from their own Tribal Gods and Demi-Gods, whose identities have been altered and replaced with fictitious Jewish characters. Our True Creator God has been denegrated, viciously and heinously insulted and blasphemed and relegated to the enemy of humanity.
"May his name and memory be blotted out."
-The Jewish Talmud
The list is endless and it is so glaringly obvious what was done. Now, we all know the Nazarene is fictitious. The Jews themselves know it and don't believe in him as he is a lie based upon some 20+ crucified "saviors" stolen from Gentile pantheons around the world.
I have put a lot of effort and time into researching the Bible, as so many people have serious hang-ups because of intense indoctrination with Christiainty and the psychic power that has gone into it. It is obvious the Bible is a hoax and a lie.
"We shall now endeavor to answer the question which must naturally arise in the minds of all who see for the first time, the similarity in the legends of the Hebrews and those of other nations, namely: have the Hebrews copied from other nations, or, have other nations copied from the Hebrews? To answer this question we shall; first give a brief account or history of the Pentateuch and other books of the Old Testament from which we have taken legends, and show about what time they were written; and second, show that other nations were possessed of these legends long before that time, and that the Jews copied from them."

The Creation:
"Structurally, Genesis 1-11 presents a fascinating insight into how the Bible evolved from a collection of polytheistic myths and legends from various cultures into a mostly coherent monotheistic account of Israelite history."
- 101 Myths of the Bible by Gary Greenburg © 2000; page 3
In summary, every character in the bible was stolen form Pagan Gentile religions and replaced with a Jewish character:
Jewish monotheism was stolen from Egyptian Akhenaton
The Jewish creation was stolen from the Egyptian Creation ą
The Jewish Yahweh's use of the word to create was stolen from the Egyptians (Jewish Yaweh replaces Ptah) ˛
"Let there be Light" was stolen from the Theban Creation epic.ł

Adam and Eve were stolen from the Egyptian Geb and Nut 5
Eve coming from Adam's rib was stolen from the Epic of Enki and
Ninhursag: "My brother what hurts thee?
"My rib hurts me"
ANET, 41.
Ninti who's name means
"Lady of the Rib" cured Enki's rib6
Adam and Eve's punishment and loss of immortality were stolen from the Mesopotamian story of Adapa
(Jewish Yaweh replaces Sumerian Enki)7
Jewish Cain, Abel and Seth were stolen from Osiris, Set and Horus8
The conflict between Cain and Abel was stolen from Set and Osiris and as the story goes on, it is later based upon the Sumerian Dumuzi and Enkimdu 9
Jewish Samson was stolen from Heracles,
The putting out of his eyes is based on Oedipus
The pulling down of the pillars was stolen from the Egyptian tale about Re-Herakhte10
The Jewish story of Jacob and the Ladder was stolen from the Egyptian Funerary Rituals for the deceased King
"Hail to thee, O Ladder of God, Hail to thee, O Ladder of Set. Stand up O Ladder of God, Stand up O Ladder of Set, stand up O Ladder of Horus, whereon Osiris went forth into heaven.” “The Egyptian Ladder consisting of the bodies of two Egyptian deities upon which Osiris ascends into heaven, has been replaced by a ladder with several supernatural beings, angels, climbing up and down between earth and heaven."11

-SATAN
FROM THE QU'RET AL-YEZID
Jewish Moses was stolen from several Gods and kings, depending on what stage of his life story:
Sargon (the birth and abandonment in the river, being rescued by royalty, etc)
The wanderings in the desert were based upon the Sun-God Bacchus as seen in the Hymns of Orpheus 12
The Hebrew stint of "40 years in the desert" claimed in the Jewish book of Exodus and the subsequent "40 day and 40 nights" wanderings in the desert of the Jewish Nazarene were stolen from:
"The struggle of Set and Horus in the desert lasted forty days, as commemorated in the forty days of the Egyptian Lent, during which time Set, as the power of drought and sterility, made war on Horus in the water and the buried germinating grain....These forty days have been extended into forty years, and confessedly so by the Jews."13
Jewish Joshua was stolen from the Egyptian Deities Shu and Nun.14
Jewish Deborah was stolen from the Egyptian Goddess Neith 15
Jewish Noah was stolen from Sumerian Ziusudra
The fictitious Jewish God Yaweh in the Noah story replaced the Sumerian God Enlil, aka Beelzebub
Noah's son Jewish Ham was stolen from Belus 16
Jewish Nimrod was stolen from the Egyptian Pharaoh Sesostris17
Jewish Abraham was stolen from King Hariscandra of the Hindu Sankhayana-Sutras
Jewish Isaac was stolen from King Hariscandra's son Rohita
The fictitious Jewish God Yaweh in this story replaced the Hindu God Varuna18
Jewish character Daniel was stolen from Egyptian Neferti 19
Jewish Jonah and the whale; Jonah was stolen from the Hindu character "Saktideva" found in the Somadeva Bhatta.
The "Twelve Tribes of Israel" like the Twelve Disciples of Christ are based upon the twelve signs of the Zodiac.
Jewish Lot and his wife were stolen from the Greek Orpheus and Eurydice
Jewish Yaweh replaces the Greek God Hades
Jewish Jacob and Jewish Esau were stolen from Horus and Set20

Jewish story of Joseph and Potipher's wife stolen from Egyptian Anubis and Bata23
"The Ten Plagues" against Egypt were grossly exaggerated and altered and stolen from the Ipuwer Papyrus 24
The Ten commandments was stolen from The Code of Hammurabi Jewish Yaweh replaces the Sumerian Sun God Shamash aka Azazel25
Jewish David killing Philistine Goliath were stolen from Thor throwing a hammer at Hrungnir and striking him in the forehead.26
The Jewish Job was stolen from Ugaritic Keret and Jewish Yaweh replaces the God "El."
The Jewish "Job," was stolen from a story written in the Ugaritic language (Cuneiform Script), composed circa 1400 BCE by "Ilimilku The Scribe." This epic involves "Keret" and the God "El." NOT Job and Jehova. Keret's family tragedies and illness are comparable with the story of Job. In the original tale, "Satan" never even entered into the picture.
Here, Jewish Jehova replaces El27
By creating opposing Gods, one "good" and the other "evil" the Jews have been able to manipulate the world beyond belief.

"THERE IS NO GOD BUT MYSELF" "KNOWING THIS, WHO DARES WORSHIP THE FALSE GODS OF THE KORAN AND BIBLE?"

FROM THE QU'RET AL-YEZID
The Gentile Gods wound up in the grimoires of blasphemy.
"No other people has ever been so conscious of ultimate primacy through supernatural intervention. This has given them cohesion and courage to persevere in the face of persecution and decimation. The conviction that every jew will one day share in his divine destiny as a member of the world's ruling race has made him proud and has enabled him to survive unassimilated among the nations of the earth."
"Included in the promised inheritance was a deliverer or messiah to bring about "the kingdom." This messiah would be either a temporal, human leader who with his armies would overthrow the enemies of Israel, or a supernatrual being who would do likewise, establishing an "everlasting" Jewish kingdom as well." "The Jewish imperialism would thus come as the awaited deliverer destroyed the enemies and gave their booty to Israel. As Larson says 'This Messiah shall bring judgement upon the Gentiles and they shall become the slaves of Judah..."

"THERE IS NO GOD BUT MYSELF" "KNOWING THIS, WHO DARES WORSHIP THE FALSE GODS OF THE KORAN AND BIBLE?"
-SATAN
FROM THE QU'RET AL-YEZID
The purpose of the bible was:
To give the Jewish people a history they never had
To give the Jewish people a special status as the "Chosen of God"
To enable the Jewish people to advance in their quest for world domination. The gentiles have been disarmed and spoon-fed a pacifistic anti-life philosophy with Christianity
To keep all occult, psychic and mind power under the control of the Jews and disarm the gentile populations psychically.
For the Jewish secret cabal to seize and direct as much psychic energy as possible into the coming of their "messiah" who will unite the Jews and rule the world. (This is the fictitious Christ, - the Jews themselves know Christ is fictitious- the "Temple of Solomon" and various other faces of the same theme).
Because the multitude of characters, numbers and stories were stolen and altered from gentile sources, they are strong enough in the gentile racial memory to use as a powerful psychic tool for manipulation.

If that was their reasoning, they failed miserably for an extremely long period of time since philosemitism among christians seems to be a recent phenomenon. And even now, how many evangelicals types truly love the jewish people? Many if not most strongly support Israel and will go on and on all day about protecting, what they falsely believe are "god's chosen" and their next thoughts are that jews are going to burn in hell for not accepting Jesus.

Hasn't it ?
The history of christianity is simply jews selling one story after another until they have enough people too dim to question anything. First the new testament to convert Rome. Onced that worked, the Old Testament.
Bingo!
Millions of proddies were suddenly named: Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, and all of them believed that god has chosen the jews.....
"For thou art an holy people unto the LORD thy God: the LORD thy God hath chosen thee to be a special people unto himself, above all people that are upon the face of the earth. Deuternomy 7:6"

The New Testament is quite clear that Jews are no longer God's special people. In fact, God clearly hates them more than anyone now. Christian-Zionists are not really Christians. They should have noticed that God had them driven from their land for a reason: they were disobedient. That land came with a condition that they obey God. Have they repented of their wicked ways? Nope. They stole that land, and they continue to be disobedient rebels against God. That's why they will be destroyed by fire yet again very soon. It's going to be awesome.

Why Christians Should Support Israel
The Apple of HIS Eye...
Everything Christians do should be based upon the Biblical text. Here are seven solid Bible reasons why Christians should support Israel.
Genesis 12:3 "And I will bless them that bless thee and curse him that curseth thee; and in thee shall all nations of the earth be blessed." Point: God has promised to bless the man or nation that blesses the Chosen People. History has proven beyond reasonable doubt that the nations that have blessed the Jewish people have had the blessing of God; the nations that have cursed the Jewish people have experienced the curse of God.
St. Paul recorded in Romans 15:27 "For if the Gentiles have shared in their (the Jews) spiritual things, they are indebted to minister to them also in material things."
Christians owe a debt of eternal gratitude to the Jewish people for their contributions that gave birth to the Christian faith. Jesus Christ, a prominent Rabbi from Nazareth said, "Salvation is of the Jews!" (St. John 4:22) consider what the Jewish people have given to Christianity:
a) The Sacred Scripture
b) The Prophets
c) The Patriarchs
d) Mary, Joseph, and Jesus Christ of Nazareth
e) The Twelve Disciples
f) The Apostles
It is not possible to say, "I am a Christian" and not love the Jewish people. The Bible teaches that love is not what you say, but what you do. (1 John 3:18) "A bell is not a bell until you ring it, a song is not a song until you sing it, love is not love until you share it."
While some Christians try to deny the connection between Jesus of Nazareth and the Jews of the world, Jesus never denied his Jewishness. He was born Jewish, He was circumcised on the eighth day in keeping with Jewish tradition, He had his Bar Mitzvah on his 13th birthday, He kept the law of Moses, He wore the Prayer Shawl Moses commanded all Jewish men to wear, He died on a cross with an inscription over His head, "King of the Jews!
Jesus considered the Jewish people His family. Jesus said (Matthew 25:40) "Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as you have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren (the Jewish people… Gentiles were never called His brethren), ye have done it unto me.
"Pray for the peace of Jerusalem, they shall prosper that love thee." (Psalm 122:6) the scriptural principle of prosperity is tied to blessing Israel and the city of Jerusalem.
Why did Jesus Christ go to the house of Cornelius in Capernaum and heal his servant, which was ready to die? What logic did the Jewish elders use with Jesus to convince Him to come into the house of a Gentile and perform a miracle?
The logic they used is recorded in Luke 7:5; "For He loveth our nation, and He hath built us a synagogue." The message? This Gentile deserves the blessing of God because he loves our nation and has done something practical to bless the Jewish people.
Why did God the Father select the house of Cornelius in Caesarea (Acts Chapter 10) to be the first Gentile house in Israel to receive the Gospel? The answer is given repeatedly in Acts 10.
Acts 10:2 "a devout man, (Cornelius) and one that feared God with all his house, which gave much alms to the people, and prayed to God always." Who were the people to whom Cornelius gave these alms? They were the Jews.
Again is Acts 10:4 "… thy prayers and thine alms are come up for a memorial before God."
Again in Acts 10:31 "… and thine alms are had in remembrance in the sight of God."
The point is made three times in the same chapter. A godly Gentile who expressed his unconditional love for the Jewish people in a practical manner was divinely selected by heaven to be the first Gentile house to receive the Gospel and the first to receive the outpouring of the Holy Spirit.
These combined Scriptures verify that PROSPERITY (Genesis 12:3 and Psalm 122:6), HEALING (Luke 7:1-5) and the OUTPOURING OF THE HOLY SPIRIT came first to Gentiles that blessed the Jewish people and the nation of Israel in a practical manner.
We support Israel because all other nations were created by an act of men, but Israel was created by an act of God! The Royal Land Grant that was given to Abraham and his seed through Isaac and Jacob with an everlasting and unconditional covenant. (Genesis 12:1-3, 13:14-18, 15:1-21, 17:4-8, 22:15-18, 26:1-5 and Psalm 89:28-37.)

[/quotThe Lord declared in Isaiah 41:19-20, "I will plant in the wilderness the cedar and the acacia tree, the myrtle and the oil tree; I will set in the desert the cypress tree and the pine and the box tree together, that they may see and know, and consider and understand together, that the hand of the LORD has done this, and the Holy One of Israel has created it."
At the time that this prophecy was written, Israel had not yet become the parched and barren land it eventually became after the destruction of the Second Temple and the dispersion of the Jews who had been the faithful stewards of the land. However, the Lord knew what was coming and had already promised restoration. Only God can cause the desert to bloom. But we, the spiritual children of Abraham, can lend our support through a sustained program of tree planting in Israel.
John Hagee Ministries is participating in a project called "Plant Your Roots in Israel." This campaign has the central goal of planting one million trees in Israel to help revitalize the land!
Planting a tree is more than mere aesthetics. It is an opportunity to help:
Transform barren regions of the Negev desert into fruitful, productive land
Create jobs
Provide needed irrigation
Sustain the local economy
As you can see, planting trees is a great way to express your love and support for Israel and make a real difference in the Holy Land.
Each donation of $35 plants a tree in Israel and contributes to a unique water conservation project in the Negev desert. With each donation you will receive one 'Plant Your Roots in Israel' certificate.
You can plant as many trees as you would like! A program is also available for those of you who want to plant on a monthly basis.
God bless you as you consider purchasing trees for Israel. As you picture in the theater of your mind the beautiful landscape of Israel draped with trees, know that you have helped transform this once barren land. Know that "the hand of the Lord has done this and the Holy One of Israel has created it," but the Lord has used you to help make it all possible.

It doesn't need to. All Christians have to do is pray for their destruction and wait. A storm is already gathering in the Middle East. The Muslims are overthrowing the status quo, and soon they will march on Israel. Israel has stated openly that they'll try to take the world down with them, so that means all the nations of the world will be forced to join together to destroy them.

The Muslims are overthrowing the status quo, and soon they will march on Israel. Israel has stated openly that they'll try to take the world down with them, so that means all the nations of the world will be forced to join together to destroy them.
what a superb analysis!

God, I hope so.
For all my vitriol, I am scared of the Israelites. The Khazars in America have a tenuous hold on power (mostly through pejorative and preying on our penchant to feel guilty for everything) but the Israelis have a mass arsenal of nukes located in submarines. With all their spying on America, I wouldn't be surprised that they have our nuclear disarmament codes. That would be very bad news. In an all out war, just due to sheer numbers we would eventually come out on top, but the loss would be devastating. I have no doubt those filthy Jews would try to take the whole world down with them.
And that is considering America could pull away from the talons of the beast. They control our media, and much of everything else. Maybe we'd continue fighting for the Dark Side.

Although this data is a couple of years old, it is still valid or even more so:
Israel Controls the destiny of the USA
Israel controls all FAA and NORAD encryption codes - through RSA.
Israel controls security at all major US airports - through ICTS.
Israel has access to records of 90% of US private telephone companies - through Amdocs.
Israel has control Financial market software and post-9/11 FBI wiretapping technology - through Comverse.
Israel control the software used by all key federal governmental agencies, including the U.S. Army, the U.S. Air Force, the U.S. Naval Air Command, Congress, the Department of Energy, the Internal Revenue Service, NATO, the Federal Bureau of Investigation, the Secret Service and even the White House - through Ptech.
Israel now have control of the computers at the Pentagon - through CheckPoints.
Israel control Congress and the White House - through AIPAC.
The upper echelons of the Bush administration was riddled with dozens of Neocon Israeli-US dual citizens (Paul Wolfowitz, Richard Perle, Douglas Feith, Elliot Abrams, Donald Kagan, Richard Haas, Kenneth Adelman, Edward Luttwak, Robert Satloff, David Frum, David Wurmser, Steve Goldsmith, Marc Grossman, to name a few).
The head of US Homeland Security Chertoff is an Israeli citizen (his mother reportedly was the first woman Mossad agent).
The CIA is infested at virtually all levels with US-paid Israeli nationals and US-Israeli dual citizens.
This email you are reading is being scanned by Israeli companies contracted by the US government.
And Israel controls access to all US nuclear weapons.
The only thing that the Jews and Israelis do not control, are their very lives which are in the hands of the American People.

Atheist adverts declaring that "there's probably no God" have been placed on 800 buses around Britain after an unprecedented fundraising campaign.
Organiser, jewess Ariane Sherine (http://www.guardian.co.uk/commentisfree/2009/jan/06/religion-atheism) originally hoped to put the message on just a handful of London buses, as an antidote to posters put up by religious groups which they claimed were "threatening eternal damnation" to non-believers.
We should pay for a banner outside her house which reads: 'No. You're probably in the wrong country, bitch'.

WE ARE NOW LIVING in a “Holocaust Remembrance” society.
Touted as the central event of the 20th Century, high school students throughout the Western World will continue to be force-fed with Holocaust dribblings and never once hear of how Jews of the Bolshevik Cheka murdered over 70 million Orthodox Christians.
The so-called ‘extermination’ of European Jewry by Hitler’s Third Reich, (Holocaust connoisseurs have yet to provide evidence of gas chambers), has become an image of Western civilization, replacing the West’s symbol of the Resurrection of Christ with the remembrance of dead Jews.
America, time to wake the hell up, or the exact same thing will happen to us that the bolshevik jews did to the people in the USSR.

Looks like Mohamed Merah is the Ned Kelly or Jesse James of the hip hop crowd in France. A fan page was set up for him on Facebook:

"May Allah open the gates of Paradise to him!", "1 against everyone and he fucked them all. Good my brother" "... and he still managed to wound three of them. Brave guy [heart]" etc.
