A note to the Christian Based Faith

preface> I know this is going to piss someone off...who im not sure but im sure it will. Just remember these are only the philosophical ramblings of my mind. I am not trying to down anyones faith or anything and im pissed that I actually even had to put this disclaimer here so here we go .


Before I start lets agree on a few points.

First if you believe in the Bible than you believe that God created the Earth and all its creatures, right?
ok.
and if you believe that then you believe that God has a plan for us that he does everything for a reason so that means he can see into the future,right.
ok.
So then after he created us and all that good stuff he sent down "his only begotten son" Jesus right?
ok
So we've agreed on two things God created the universe so he can see the future cause he has a plan for us and that God sent down Jesus to die for our sins right?
ok.
One more point can we all agree(we should be able to cause its the truth) that war over religon has caused more death and strife even today that any other cause known to man?
ok.

Well why would God send down his son to earth if he can see the future? Wouldnt he see that the disciples would follow jesus and that a religon would be based on his words and actions? He would see that right? and if he could see that then he would see that in the future there would be many wars over this book called the bible and over this thing called christianity. so why would he do that.?why would he intentionally cause a rift between people that wasnt there to begin with? Why would he look into the future and see that countless millions of people would die because they refused to be converted to the christian belief system. Tell me that. Why would he look into the future and see people being slaughtered IN HIS SONS NAME, and still send his son here? That doesent make sense to me,
so you have a few choices in my mind of what you can believe.

!)there is no God cause a God would be all knowing and he wouldnt intetionally do this to his people.

2) Jesus was here but he wasnt the son of God because why would God send him here knowing all the pain it would cause.

3) That there is a God but he cant see into the future cause if he could why would he send Jesus here and allow this to happen. And if he cant see into the future for us what kind of God is that?

So those are my thoughts. Im sure here as in the real world a few of you will crucify me for them but go ahead and gash my side and place a crown of thorns on my head im sure I dont have any disciples so the world should be ok!

….. and he says….

I have the read the book of Job multiple times. I have also read every version of the bible from the Church of Latter Day Saints, New Testament, Old Testament all of them. I have also read the Qur'an multiple times and also all of the teachings of Buddha. Like I said in my Note To The Christian Based Faith, I dont understand why God would send his so down to be killed when if he is the all seeing sll powerful God that he is cliamed to be, he knew that this would cause more chaos that it would solve. I mean think if there was no such thing as religon. There would be ONE less thing to seperate you from your fellow man. Same thing if we were all the same color and all spoke the same langauge it would be one less thing that people would use to either discriminate or to divide themselves. I just dont understand why if God can see the future he would do that to us. It seems like some horribly viscious science experiment.

As far as the deaths I spoke of I have many sources of information that I have checked and re checked to get the information that I put down in that paragraph.

For instance during the first days of colonists is America. When they would come across Native Americans who refused or didnt even understand what Christianity was they would go back to their camp and get someone who had small pox to rub blankets all over themselves. Knowing from previous experience that the Natives had no defenses at all to this disease at least not that way that the Europeans had some immunity to it. They would then take the infected blankets and pass them out to the Natives on purpose, they killed hundreds of thousands this way in the name of Christianity. Also during the dark ages and the crusades there are many etchings and paintings and wood carvings of Christians skinning pagans and vikings and nailing theyre skins to the walls of castles. Now why if God could see the future would he impose this on us? And if you say well its free will and that God did not impose this on us but that we imposed this on ourselves then you have to admit that God is cruel, because why would he do that. If he had never sent down Jesus then Christianity would have never been created and there would have been much less bloodshed. Dont you agree?
