A CULT-HUNTER LOOKS AT CHRISTIANITY
|
|
|
|
1- When you enter some Catholic churches, you are confronted by a graphic
|
|
representation of Jesus, nailed to a cross, bleeding, suffering, and then
|
|
you are told that He went to this death of His own free will!
|
|
You read about Saints that whipped themselves; that wore hair shirts to
|
|
abuse their bodies. You even see, in this modern age, the Penitentes
|
|
of Mexico and New Mexico who continue this practice, even going so far as
|
|
to crucify themselves, men and women!
|
|
People who walk to a "holy" shrine on their knees, doing possible
|
|
permanent
|
|
damage to themselves, are lauded for having performed a "holy" act!
|
|
Children are beaten, starved, tortured and otherwise seriously harmed by
|
|
members of this cult following the Biblical admonition "Speare the rod and
|
|
|
|
spoil the child." There are also innumerable cases of the denial of blood
|
|
transfusions, denial of public education, and denial of * any * modern
|
|
medical treatment, all in the name of this cult's beliefs.
|
|
|
|
Does Christianity preach a form of sado-masochism? If it does, it is a
|
|
dangerous cult indeed!
|
|
|
|
2- This ritual of "Holy Communion" or the "Lord's Supper" has some overtones
|
|
that bother any right-thinking person. After all, the worshippers are told
|
|
|
|
that they are eating the "Body and Blood of our Saviour, Jesus Christ!"
|
|
|
|
Can it be very far from * ritual * cannibalism to * real * cannibalism?
|
|
This cult seems more and more dangerous!
|
|
|
|
3- The pre-occupation of some sects of Christianity with "demons" and
|
|
"devils"
|
|
and "evil spirits" that, in their minds, seem to inhabit the whole
|
|
Universe, ready at the slightest opportunity to "possess" the bodies and
|
|
minds of humans, reeks of Diabolism! The more extreme sects even seem to
|
|
believe that this "Devil" is some sort of anti-God that has * all * power
|
|
over the world.
|
|
|
|
Can it be a very great step from being so preoccupied with devils to the
|
|
actual worship of them? One should worry about this!

4- One sect of Christianity, the Roman Catholic Church, actually LOCKS UP
|
|
young girls (and older women) and forbids them contact with the world,
|
|
forbids them marriage, and tells them it is a "sin" to think of men in
|
|
a sexual manner, and that they will "burn in 'hell' " if they do so. Such
|
|
single-sex, enforced groupings of people (similar to secular prisons) are
|
|
always hotbeds of deviant behaviour.
|
|
The same sect forbids marriage to its priests, and thereby perhaps
|
|
encourages the many, many DOCUMENTED cases of its priests molesting young
|
|
boys.
|
|
One of its major past leaders (called "Apostles"), Saul of Tarsus, aka
|
|
"Saint Paul," was known for his hatred of women, and he seems to be the
|
|
major theoretician of many of the "Fundamentalist" sects of the cult.
|
|
|
|
Can it be that Christianity actually * encourages * homosexuality, while
|
|
preaching the opposite?
|
|
|
|
5- One sect, the "Jehovah's Witnesses," refuses allegiance to their country!
|
|
They will not salute the flag, nor will they serve in the Armed Forces!
|
|
The "Social Gospel," a take-from-the-rich propaganda pitch, is preached
|
|
all
|
|
over Third World nations, subverting their governments!
|
|
|
|
Can it be that Christianity encourages the "One World" viewpoint of
|
|
certain
|
|
radical political groups?
|
|
|
|
6- The sexual behaviour of its leaders has been well documented, from "Popes"
|
|
|
|
(the leader of the Roman Catholic sect) to Aimee Semple Macpherson, to
|
|
Jimmy Swaggert. One wonders about such leaders being placed in positions
|
|
of command over our young people.
|
|
|
|
How many innocents have been defiled by such persons? One wonders!
|
|
|
|
7- In the Middle Ages, priests actually said "Masses" to impose death spells
|
|
on humans. Is such ritual being practiced today? We will probably never
|
|
know, because secrecy in such groups would be assumed as * very * tight.
|
|
|
|
As so many law-enforcement officers seem to be Christian, and many of
|
|
the European governments are enthralled by this cult, we will probably
|
|
* never * be able to find out the truth of this.

8- At every Christian service, donations from the membership is encouraged,
|
|
and, as most such donations are done publically, "peer-pressure" to give
|
|
large amounts of money is very high, and a feeling of guilt over * not *
|
|
contributing could lead to psychotic episodes!
|
|
The cult's attitude towards sexual feelings, that even * looking * at
|
|
a person with even the tiniest feeling of "lust" is a "sin," is so rigid
|
|
as to exclude at least 99 percent of the World's population from "Heaven"
|
|
and thereby lead to irreconcilable guilt feelings on the part of the
|
|
"sinners!"
|
|
|
|
Could it be that many of the modern world's psychiatric problems can be
|
|
traced to the beliefs of this cult?
|
|
|
|
9- The intolerant behaviour of Christianity is also well-documented in
|
|
history, with its pogroms of Jews, burning of witches, Crusades against
|
|
Islam, culture destruction and outright genocide in the Pacific islands
|
|
and Central and South America, and hatred of anything that is not
|
|
"Christian." This has even extended to disruption of non-Christian
|
|
religious services, and violent behaviour that is touted as simple "civil
|
|
disobedience."
|
|
|
|
Can such past behaviour repeat itself? History shows it does.
|
|
|
|
10- Proselytization, or the "conversion" of new members to the cult, is
|
|
carried on in any number of ways, both with subtle blandishments and
|
|
by outright fear and threats. To watch and listen to some
|
|
street-preachers
|
|
is an education in the use of fear-inducing technique, and also of
|
|
individual and mass hysteria similar to that induced by Adolf Hitler and
|
|
Joseph Goebells!
|
|
|
|
Why do these preachers do their best to induce such mass hysteria? One
|
|
could ask the same question about Hitler and Goebells, and maybe get the
|
|
same answer!
