a tale about God, Jesus, and All You Assholes

God?  Oh God.

Pregnancy is a gift from God.

Every child is hope for humanity.  God wants you to take care of your child, love your child, nurture your child, etc, etc.    

Well, i used to think so.   But not now.  Not as long as i have my commonsense intact.   

There are many stillborns aren't there.  And there are others who die not too long after birth - like my mother, who lost, i think they were the first two or first and third - a Catherine and a Vincent shortly after birth.  Why?  God changed his mind?  And i had a dear chinese friend once, he got a son, loved his son lots, at the age of 6 or so, he died of Leukemia.  How does God expect humanity to nurture life when he treats it so carelessly?  So unless God's has a twisted sadistic sense of humour,  perhaps pregnancy, other than the immaculate conception, is just something that happens, and has fuck-all to do with God.  You can't call a child a 'gift from God' if it's ass is marked with, 'return to sender in a day or two' through death.  Is God pro-choice or what?  

In which case, it would then logically follow that God isn't our creator.  He might have started the ball rolling a long while back,  and then he retired and went back to his telly after kicking  Adam and Eve out of Eden, and then later sending Cain away with a mark signaling him as wicked for killing his brother.  Perhaps we are the children of Cain, given that capitalism, and all its historical variants and antecedents, is an exploitative, envy-based, greed-mongering, class-debased system.  

Does God Exist?

So we move on to the question.  Does God exist?  

Like i said to a bunch of 'black metallists' a couple of decades ago who asked similarly, 'don't ask if He exists.  Ask if it's good that we believe He does.'  And yes, you got a choice.  You either believe in a God who sits apart from humanity as 'better than us all', and which will constantly lead us to challenge humanity's idea of 'what's right' because humanity is not perfect like God and hence must be flawed even when they think they are right, OR, set aside God altogether and be subject to the whims and fancies of any particular races or regions.  So yeah, it's right to believe in a God.

So does God exist?

The white atheist would say that if God can't be detected through the microscope, He doesn't exist.  That's like saying that the ocean is no more than a cupful because you can't hold more than a cupful of the waters of the ocean in a cup.  

Yes, He does.  God.  He exists, yeah.  You want proof?  Sure.  The proof is in the faith.  That's like a sense.  You can't see unless you open your eyes.  So you can't know that God exists till you open your third eye via faith.  Then you will sort of feel it.  White people don't really have a culture that reared this ability in them, so they got to learn from their betters, like the Indians, or aborigines in the americas, or australia, amongst others.  Just because you don't have a history that allows you to see, doesn't mean there is nothing to be seen.


God

But then, given all the shite that goes on, we are forced to wonder after the nature of God.  Yeah, He's God, He's better than us.  But that doesn't mean God is perfect. 

Various scenarios

He has an agenda, and like any tyrant, thinks nothing of killing and using people to satisfy his 'big plan'.  In fact, God is the ultimate justification of the principle of, 'the Ends justify the Means'.  Maybe God is a chinaman (shudder), as they too believe in that shite.  For them, if a rebellion is successful, or an emperor can maintain his rule by ANY means, that means heaven is on his side.  In other words, the one who is right is the one who wins.  What sort of satanic ass philosophy is that?  Explains why the chinese are belligerent, racist and fascist as they are in south-east asia.    So yeah, God might be a chinaman, or the father of that so-called 'civilisation'.  


And according to The Old Testament, He is an egotistical dick too.  There was that story where God let the devil destroy a guy by the name of Job (pictured below, by Jan Lievens, national gallery of canada), who is faithful to him, just to prove to the devil that people can worship him and be faithful to him no matter what.   Again, if that is God, then perhaps the Chinese 'son of heaven' tyrannical self-absorbed rulers might indeed be descended from him.  That's like a man introducing his son to his friend,

Father: "this is my son, john, he loves me no matter what!"

Friend: I don't believe you!

Father: "here, take this baseball bat and beat the shit out of him, and he'll say he loves me after he comes out of a coma."

I don't understand God sometimes.   He wants us to honour ours and each other's lives.   But he sure is not leading by example is he.  All it takes for evil men to do what they do, is for good men to do nothing.  In this case, all it takes for the Devil to do what he does, is for God to sit there twiddling his thumbs, saying, 'i know nothing! i see nothing!'

Or perhaps God got killed like he's said to be in the viking Nordick, 'Ragnarok'.  Or perhaps we are now being ruled by the Devil for quite sometime, and have mistaken him for God.  The Biblical Revelations does say that the Devil will be released and allowed to rule for a quite a while before God comes back to chew bubblegum and kick ass.  Though it is kinda cheeky of God to let the Devil rear humanity, nurture the worst in them, and then blame humanity and throw people into hell.      

Is Christianity a Jesus Project?

Or perhaps his son, JC, rebelled against him for his unfeeling and egotistical ways, and came down and got crucified for his efforts in exchange for God handing the church over to Jesus, but only if JC could forgive them.  That was the deal.

Perhaps God lost his faith in humanity after eons of seeing people resolutely fucking things up again and again.  So he sat back and said, 'ahhh fuck it.' and swiveled his chair around to pay attention to what the Martians were up to, amongst other lifeforms in the universe which he had doodled out on his doodle pad which is the universe.  But JC didn't give up hope, pulled at his daddy's sleeves, and said, 'Oi!  Don't be a git.  Let's give them another chance'.

So God looks at JC, sighs, and says,

"dei baderwah (indian word for 'idiot'), if you got nothing else better to do, you go play with them.  I've had it.  These dicks keep killing all the prophets i send them, they keep screwing each other through their class systems, the rich keeps hoarding shit i gave to all of them, they keep warring against each other, so let them wipe themselves out."

So it was a sort of a challenge, where God tells JC that humans are assholes, and JC said he still loved them despite that,  and then had to prove His love for them by being subjected to human asshole behaviour, and still loving them.  Perhaps that is why JC never bothered with The Old Testament, or the Jewish religious elite as they were of another church, an Old Testament one that is.

So JC took over, but, as God predicted, got killed by the people.  At anytime, JC could say, 'fuck it, daddy pick me up and let's go for an ice-cream."  But then, JC would have lost the challenge.  So JC stuck to his resolution that even though humans were kind of a bunch of assholes, they had hope.  So he allowed Himself to be crucified and all that, and then before He died, He looked up at His Father, and said 'Father, forgive this bunch of gits,  like I have. They really don't know any better, and hence, don't know what they are doing.", and thus won the challenge, and bridged the gap between Heaven and earth.    



The White Man's 'God'

  

But that is just a part of the story.  Don't forget, God made Man in His image.  In other words, the best elements of ALL cultures, histories, wisdoms, races, etc, comprises the Image of God.  The perfections of all, put together, minus the negatives, makes up that image of God.  Get it?

The 'christianity' and 'catholicism' of today is pretty much a Eurocentric enterprise.  We are only seeing God through the white man's eyes.  So that is a part of the story.  There is much more.  When the white man says he 'discovered' this or that country, he was meaning that he had discovered different places to colonise or exploit, not different places to appreciate wisdoms, perspectives, etc, which his history didn't give him. 

The fact that he could overpower them served as proof to him that he was superior in all aspects.  Very chinese of them don't you think.  That is like saying, 'if i can beat you in chess, i can beat you in a 100m sprint, but because i'm  not interested in running, we will only play chess and you must agree that i can beat you in a 100m sprint.  That's where the white man got his false sense of competence.  Not by competing with others in their games, but insisting that everyone play the games that he is good at - the chinese are exactly like that as well.  

So he stuck to his own way of looking at things, and which means that his idea of Jesus, God, and so on, wasn't made more by his plunderous rampage around the world.  So Christianity ended up becoming a story of how the White Made remade God in his image.   

The other ways of appreciating it is in other cultures and histories, and which the white many just ignored.  Hence, God became far less as a result, and which is why religion in the west became impotent enough to be supplanted by capitalism, consumerism and sexual consumerism (LGBT).  

And perhaps all these fuckups, one after another, decade after decade, century after century, millennia after millennia, is that which renders us stupid enough to bring about all the evils we bemoan, which makes it our fault, not Gods. 

Is it God's fault, or is it our fault for not appreciating each other enough and hence falling prey to the stupidity of the popes, priests, pastors out there who all appreciate God through the whites of their eyes, whilst the rest of us sit on the browns of our backsides and just suck up everything they splat out.  

No.  I'm not here to break up the church.  I'm here to make it deserving of its title as a christian and catholic church.  Catholic means 'universal'.  I'm here to free it of its Eurocentric boundaries so that it can live up to its name.  

As it stands, the Devil knows more about Christ than Christians.  And the proof of that lies in the Devil coming up with brilliant strategies to lead God's kids astray.  One can only lead people away from something if one knows exactly what one is leading the people away from.  I can't go south  unless i know exactly where north is. 

And all this while, the Church can only come up with some gibberish in Latin and telling people to pray to saints and love one another, whilst keeping quiet about numerous aspects of the system that compromises the church, including their gross Eurocentric view of things that narrows their vision more than the view of a wench in a burqa.  

So perhaps God's got a bad deal in this treatise.  After all, can i logically know enough of God to speak conclusively about him, given that the church is led by a bunch of white men and popes who tell me that God is only that which they make of him?  And with this sort of nonsense, to what degree have they determined and downsized human development to the point that we are bemoaning things about God when it is actually our fault?  

I know not.  Man isn't going to give me an answer as most don't realise what is written here.  So JC did say, 'seek and you will find, ask and it will be given to you.'  So yeah.  What say you God?  JC?  Hellooooo............
