Es ist unglaublich: am 13.03.1925 hat man in Tennessee/Amerika ein Gesetz verabschiedet, dass Pädagogen Darwins Evolutionstheorie nicht verbreiten dürfen. Die Pädagogen durften nicht in Zweifel ziehen, dass der Mensch von Gott geschaffen wurde. Dies ist heute gerade mal 87 Jahre her und galt tatsächlich bis 1967 so.

Comment on Leaving the church by Karin Holm Randall

Just to let you know that there is a community of faith that does not require that you leave your brain behind before you enter. We are the Unitarian-Universalists, a denomination with a long history stretching back to Michel Servet, an anti-trinitarian heretic, physician, and theologian, who was burned at the stake in Geneva in 1553 by Jean Calvin. We enjoy the company of thoughtful and tolerant atheists, agnostics, humanists, neopagans, Buddhists, liberal Christians, Jews, and Muslims and free thinkers of all persuasions. http://www.genevauu.org

Confucius said that all of human ethics could be expressed in one word, reciprocity, which evolved into the Golden Rule. If all of ethics can be expressed in one word, perhaps a Grand Unified Theory of The Humanities can be expressed in five words.

It is hard to believe this happens in the 21st century, in Switzerland, a neutral Country hosting several international organizations and a track records for asylum seekers!?

Dear friends of humanity
As jesus and crucifix are inseparable so is the sin and guilt. Based on the assumed authority of the bible, christians prescriptively post the notion of “original sin” as the keystone of their faith. In the subconscious of man, which can hardly discriminate between real and the imaginary, the christian sin, being imaginary, would in point of fact be fatal—from creating alienation from environment or reality. The christian theologian Soren Kierkegaard is a typical example.
This sin has been intentionally transfused into the consciousness of man—importantly, the consciousness of a particular scriptural segment of the race—by a malevolent being, the real original sinner, whose seeming ascendance and potency devolve from his unipolar intelligence, motivated and pitted against man from the moment of his fall from goodness, the true original sin, and from his relatively advanced application of genetics. His ultimate motive was negation of man’s pursuit and acquisition of correct knowledge of “God” as perfection of goodness, thereby to monopolise the deepest part of his consciousness, the part vital for his actions and consequently for his existence.
The genesis of sin in consciousness is coterminous with the genesis of guilt. And the genesis of guilt is by way of transposition on man of the first murder, done by the so-called god of the christianity.
guilt is defined as “feelings of culpability, especially for imagined offences” (Webster’s, p.506), and the christian sin, a figment from the same guilt, as “transgression of the law of the god.”.”—ibid., p.1075. Moreover, since sin and guilt are interchangeable, the distinctive characteristic of the one is also the distinctive character of the other. The distinctive character of guilt being its irredeemablity by reason of its subjective nature, so is the christian sin irredeemable. Therefore, the jesus emerging from Mary and positioning himself obtrusively as redeemer is in reality a pseudo-redeemer, thus the very antitype of redemption or salvation, and the christianity sourced from him a pseudo-religion, in fact the very antithesis of religion. In short, both are the enemy of man, from implanting an irredeemable—and therefore, suicidal—guilt in consciousness.

Comment on Spiritual but not religious – what’s behind it? by Grazia

The only reason why theologians or priest oppose this form of genuine spirituality is that the more people become autonomous and rely on their own inner strength the less there is any need for organized religion and sellers of faith.
