You ever find it odd we worship an ancient Canaanite storm deity?

People will tell you with 100% certainty that you’re going to hell for eternity if you don’t worship a middle eastern storm deity whose existence is based on fragmented copies of texts written by anonymous authors 2000 years ago. Anyone else find that odd?

No-one has a clue about anything. We are just going to age and die like every other person or creature we observe. There is most likely nothing metaphysical about this life, though I may be wrong.

I find it odd we don't run amok more often and go absolutely ape shit to be honest

I acknowledge modern Christianity is blatant institutionalized propaganda with the sole intention of controlling humans on the individual and collective levels.


It is a bastardization of every religion that preceded it. Don't get me wrong, there is some amazing beautiful messaging in there. There is truth in there, but it is subtle and hidden in piles of lies.


Jesus is my bro.


Jesus would be disgusted by modern Christianity. Jesus did not want us to be Christians, he wanted us to achieve Christ consciousness, which is an amazing gift.

Post verses in the Bible that prove you're right about what Jesus really wanted.

I'll wait.

The Bible is literal propaganda. As mentioned.

It was made by a political institution and has been used by political institutions to control the thoughts, feelings, and behaviors of the population.

This is a fact.

You know nothing about my knowledge, you hardly know anything about yourself.

And you think the Bible gives you insight into Jesus? lol

Blessed be your feet that they may carry you through all of your joy and suffering.

So you are not trying to have that conversation in sincerity, the conversation isn't about me or what I know. It is a message. A message you are not able to receive in this moment.

I'm just asking you a simple question dude and you're not answering it. If I have it so wrong about Jesus by reading the Bible, where else can I go to learn about the truth of Jesus and what he really thought?

Do you have info on this storm God or a vid? Heard this before but never really looked into it.

Say, ˹O believers,˺ We believe in Allah and what has been revealed to us; and what was revealed to Abraham, Ishmael, Isaac, Jacob, and his descendants; what was given to Moses, Jesus, and other prophets from their Lord. We make no distinction between any of them. And to Allah we all submit.

I pray I deliver this message to those who have ears to understand. Thine is the is the Kingdom, the Power, and the Glory Forever and Ever.

“The light of the body is the eye: if therefore thine eye be single, they whole body shall be full of light”. Jesus in Matthew 6:22


Often times those who don’t have a strong relationship with Jesus, but want to communicate that they do may say something like “what would Jesus do?” But they never actually consider doing what Jesus did.

Close your eyes and turn off the false story you tell yourself about yourself. Make your body relax until it can’t anymore. Forget the meaning of concepts, completely disassociate until words don’t even make sense anymore. They are needless limiting device. Turn all of your thoughts and attention into the void that is your mind. Remove everything that you keep stored there. It is not needed. Money, security, tomorrow, yesterday, survival….throw it all away. Everything you value, everything you identify with. Everything you love and hate. Turn it off. You do not need it. Desires and pleasures, fears and anxiety, they are an unnecessary tool you won’t be needing anymore. Just breath. Breath on purpose, and deeply.

When you get there, and all you have is raw unfiltered consciousness, understand there is only one of those. It is the same consciousness being projected into my avatar, it is the same consciousness being projected into my dogs avatar, and it is the same consciousness that was projected into Jesus’ avatar.

There is no separation. Consciousness exists prior to and outside of the human brain. The brain restricts consciousness. It does not generate it. You can turn your mind/body mechanism off and explore this. Do it enough, and you won’t want to come back.

Do what Jesus did and say with significant confidence from this day forward…

I AM.

Forever and Ever.

God literally told the Hebrews to genocide the Amalekites - men, women, children, the elderly.... EVERYONE. And how does one rationalize killing a toddler just because he/she was born to Amalekite parents?


We're observing the same thing with the Palestinians, the Jews are quoting the Bible (specifically wiping out the seed of Amalek aka the Amalekites) as justification for genociding the Palestinians.

Nothing more cringe than normies that think they are “too intelligent” for religion imagine buying yourself eternity in hell because your fragile little ego couldn’t handle a little omnipotent authority.

Why did you quote the Bible when you said It's bullshit propaganda? lol

Please read the Gospels and then come back and tell me why it shows Jesus hates Christians.

Saying "open your mind" is not an argument.

Come back with receipts and then we'll go from there.

@metrobrah ive been watching alot of the youtube channel - Hochelaga.

Great content and minimal AI shit, but lots of mideval paintings etc for visuals. Check it out.

The thing about Jesus is he taught us external things dont make us unclean - ie pork etc. Its whats inside you that counts

I did say it is propaganda. And I also said there is an amazing message and truth hidden in the lies inside it. That is literally how propaganda works.

I have read the gospels. I have read gospels you don’t even know exist, because the institution that made the Christian Bible left them out.

I understand you value your propaganda very much.

Isn’t it the same thing? We worship the deity that is represented by the Tetragrammaton (Ancient Hebrew had no vowels). He was part of a pantheon of gods that the ancient Israelites borrowed from the Canaanites. It’s even in the Bible, but Christian’s often skip over. It says He was “assigned his portion”, his portion being Israel. The next logical question is, assigned by who? The divine council. With El seated at the head.

I just find this stuff fascinating, but you can’t talk about it with most Christians because their identities benefit from burying their heads in the sand. Identity is something we will fight to the death to protect. I get it, imagine for 40 years you’ve been taught that there is only one God and that’s the way it’s always been and everything is settled. My mind was blown too when I started to actually read the scholarship and it took me a while to pick up the pieces.
