All Religions are Bunk

 

By Jim Worrell

 

            This epistle is meant to shock some, anger others.  In the end it is to show just how ridiculous religious beliefs are.  The bible has literally hundreds if not thousands of errors, contradictions, inconsistencies, impossibilities and total lack of common sense.

 

            The bible was not written by a god, nor was it divinely inspired by a supreme being.  It is the work of multiple unknown authors, who to this day have not been identified.  The original writings are no longer in existence.  We are therefore unable to verify their reliability and credibility.  Note here that if there is just one error in the bible, then no one knows how many other errors there are.  The bible is touted to be the perfect words of god, but just a cursory reading will reflect its errors.  Just compare Genesis 1 with Genesis 2.

 

            Religion is merely a superstition and consisting of many made-up concepts, false words and non-existent beings.  Religion is the world’s biggest scam.  Churches and church leaders are total parasites subsisting off the earning of hardworking people.  The scam works because religion is designed to appeal to man’s greatest fear—death.

 

            Man has a fear of dying and having the world continue on after him without him ever existing again.  Hindus attempts to solve this problem by introducing the false belief of reincarnation.  Every once in a while, some idiot will claim to have been another person in another life.  It just ain’t so!

 

            To further the false concept that one lives after death, religion has fostered the false belief that man has an immortal soul that lives forever.  However, the bible says very little about the soul.  The obvious question, by an inquiring mind would be, does the soul have mass?  If yes, can it be destroyed by fire?  Can it be attracted by magnetism?  Just how does the soul retain memory?  If the soul has no mass; then, it is nothing;” and “nothing” cannot have memory, a personality, or life, much less eternal life.

 

          The way to prove that Christianity is false is to merely follow the directions of Jesus. One of the biggest lies of all is when Jesus said “Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also, and greater works than these shall he do because I go unto my Father.” (John 14:12 KJV)  This lie does not require one to even pray.  It says that if you believe in Jesus, you can do greater works than Jesus did.  Do you really believe that?  If you do, you are delusional, insane or stupid or all three.

 

          Now, Jesus is alleged to have walked on water, stopped a storm, multiplied fishes and loaves, cured leprosy and blindness, and raised people from the dead.  Biggest of all, he is alleged to have died and returned to life.

 

          Well, John 14:12 above says you can not only do those things, but you can do greater things than Jesus did because he went unto his Father.  Okay, it is time to test it.  I challenge any believing Christian to go to a funeral home and raise one of the corpses from the dead.  Next, I challenge them to stop a bullet, a tornado and cure cancer.

         

Please note that this promise by Jesus doesn’t even require a person to pray for the miracle to happen.  It simply says that the believer can do greater works than Jesus.  It is not so, and it can be proven every time a Christian commands the impossible.

         

          I want to end this proof that Jesus lied and prayer doesn’t work with the following narration:

 

          Pretend you are standing on the street corner with your 10-year-old child waiting to cross the street.  Standing next to you is the Pope, six Cardinals (not birds), 12 nuns, Billy Graham, Jerry Falwell (brought back to life for this story), Rick Warren, and “Let us pray—George W. Bush.”  Oh, and there is one other person, a physician with his black medical bag.

 

          A large truck with a drunk driver drives up over the curb and hits your child.  Your child is lying on the sidewalk, unconscious, and bleeding at the mouth and nose.

 

          My question is who are you going to ask to assist your child?  If you are intelligent and intellectually honest, you will say, “The physician.”  But then you might also add that you would ask the others there to pray for your child.  Okay, so the physician attends to your child while the others pray.

 

          Now, let me alter the story.  You have the exact same situation, except this time there is no physician in the crowd.  So now, all you have is the Pope, the clerics, preachers and nuns praying for your child.  What do you think this will do for your child?  I will tell you.  It will do nothing, absolutely nothing, for your child.  Your child will continue his/her injured condition until medical help arrives and begins administration of treatment.

 

          There are thousands of ways to prove that prayer has no efficacy.  Prayer is merely talking to oneself.  Since prayer doesn’t work, that proves that there is no God listening and answering prayer.  It also proves that the words of Jesus in John 14:12 are lies.  Sorry, but if the shoe fits, wear it.  All religions are bunk.
