The only reason Christianity became a "major religion" in the first place was because it was politically expedient for the Emperor Constantine to adopt it and make the "official religion" of Rome. Once that precedent was established, Christianity has been and will forever be nothing more than an instrument of statecraft. This is a classic example of "The State giveth, and the State taketh away." To paraphrase Ricardo Flores Magnon, "Capital, Authority, Clergy: These are the three heads of the hydra that guards the gates of this prison called Earth". If someone chooses to be so naive as to think that Christianity is anything more than a tool of statecraft, forever deemed to be eternally subservient to the State and the whims of the Elites who own the State, then they are going to be acquainted with ugly reality and repeatedly bludgeoned until they either cry "Uncle" or expire. And this is why I give no credence nor do I subscribe to the tenets of Christianity. I don't worship the Flag of the state, I don't worship the currency of the state, and I don't worship the religion of the State. As far as I'm concerned they're all vile heads of an evil hydra, and I refuse to bow before any of them. Pray to "Jesus" and you pray to the emperor and the empire, this is what Christianity has always been and will always be.

whatever..... Romans 8:28 And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose. 29 For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren. 30 Moreover whom he did predestinate, them he also called: and whom he called, them he also justified: and whom he justified, them he also glorified. 31 What shall we then say to these things? If God be for us, who can be against us? 32 He that spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall he not with him also freely give us all things? ...... kingjbible.com/romans/8.htm "....Pope Constantine I (306—337) "But it was during the rule of Constantine the Great that the cult of Deus Sol Invictus reached extraordinary heights, so that his reign was even spoken of as a Sun Emperorship. Constantine was the personification of Deus Sol Invictus on earth, and could consider the statue of the sun in the Forum bearing his name as a statue of himself" (The Cult of Sol Invictus, p. 167) The great church historian Eusebius called this guy the COUNTERFEIT COIN. Dies Natalis Invicti or the birthday of the Unconquered Sun was the BIG day for this cult. Constantine called this day (Dec. 25) the birthday of Christ. None of these 3 devils lived to a ripe old age and Constantine died at age 57 most probably from the effects of poison. Some of the works of the great church historian Eusebius are available online at the Christian Classics Ethereal Library. Go to the site and do a word search. You will not find Preparation for the Gospel or Proof of the Gospel there. In those books, written before Pope Constantine, Eusebius used the titles: Jesus, Lord Jesus and the Lord Jesus Christ frequently. After the ascension of Pope Constantine however you will not find the Name JESUS any more. He used titles like God, Sovereign, Most High, etc., etc. which could be used by pagans to refer to their gods. Eusebius knew that the real Jesus was excluded from this 10 toed evil Empire of Constantine....." www.reformation.org/meet_the_first_pope.html Pray to "Jesus" and you pray to the emperor and the empire, this is what Christianity has always been and will always be. Sorry to report you're lost.

Yeah, but you're a Socialist moron; so who truly gives a rip what leaks out of your goofy head ? ??
"If you love wealth more than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, depart from us in peace. We ask not your counsel nor your arms. Crouch down and lick the hand that feeds you. May your chains rest lightly upon you and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen.”—Samuel Adams

Wise word to a wise man. Never demean another mans belief in God or his rejection of such. Whatever form it may take is for each and every individual to determine.

that's what this post is about....and we may be about to find out whether or not your theory holds water. If someone chooses to be so naive as to think that Christianity is anything more than a tool of statecraft, forever deemed to be eternally subservient to the State and the whims of the Elites who own the State, then they are going to be acquainted with ugly reality and repeatedly bludgeoned until they either cry "Uncle" or expire.

Whatever form it may take is for each and every individual to determine. I tread very lightly in this arena. At that day of reckoning, we, and we alone, will be called to account for ourselves, and no one else.

I still maintain that the Hebes have gone bonkers if they continue to implicate Quakers among their would-be malefactors.
I tread very lightly in this arena.
In 2007, the FBI reported on concern about white supremacists recruiting soldiers, saying "hundreds" of neo-Nazis were in the active military. But in April, a Department of Homeland Security report on extremism that reiterated much the same point was widely criticized by veterans groups and some conservative politicians as being unpatriotic, leading the Justice Department to retract the DHS report. Critics acknowledge that extremism in the Army is a touchy political subject.

I recall while in the military some very profane men turning to another source for help when it looked like death was there.

But it is never too late. Earlier today, I was thinking about who was the first 'Christian,' and I concluded that it was the thief on the cross. Jesus had not yet died, or ascended into Heaven, but he told dude that 'today, you shall be with me in Paradise.' Christ had many followers and believers, but until His death, burial, resurrection, and into Heaven, they could not be called Christians. imo. Until the prophecy was fulfilled and the new covenant was in place. Something to knock around, or not.
No atheists in foxholes syndrome.
