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.
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.
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 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.
