My objection to Christainity
libfemme ( 12/24/2004, 17:45:36 )I do not object to individual christians, mind you. People are people and I take them as they come. Nor do I object to people taking solace in whatever beliefs they feel they need.But purely as an intellectual exercise, if I were convinced of the existence of the Christian God I would not be a Christian.As the religion was taught to me, God is a tyrant. The very word "Lord" is a feudal term. It implies slavery and I object to slavery. I can't help it. It's the way I was made.Lord was a socially accepted term in a time when the temporal powers were also lords and kings, but it rankles with modern democracy.Since God provides a model for us to emulate referring to God as the Lord suggests that democracy is wrong and tyranny justifiable. In fact that was the devine right argument Kings maintained against the rise of parliaments and republics.Cromwell was a virulent protestant and parliamentarian. His opposition to the King was his opposition to the Church. Not only did he think so but so did Charles I and the Pope.It was those same puritans who founded Boston that hotbed of the American revolution. Even today American fundamentalists enshire the tradition of "separation of church and state."Separation from what? From running a temporal world along the lines of the government of heaven in which God is all powerful, capricious and frequently cruel and unjust. He punishes guilty and innocent alike. The only way one can be a christian today is to ignore entire tracts of old testiment. And if one is going to pick and choose which passages to follow and which to ignore, why not ignore the entire thing?
