Christianity is a manmade ('Forged') faith

Scholars don't believe in the Bible

Anyone not convinced should read Forged about the writing of what Christians today call "the Bible" by Prof. Bart D. Ehrman. Yeah, but who is Ehrman?

Dr. Bart Ehrman, Ph.D., is an American biblical scholar whose research focuses on the historical Jesus, the textual criticism of the New Testament of the Bible, and the origins and development of early Christianity. He is a distinguished professor of Religious Studies at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and the author or editor of more than 30 books, including six NY Times bestsellers, and the creator of nine lecture series with The Great Courses.

I bow to thine empty Roman torture device and think what I get out of it. Thanks, God!

.

Forged: Writing in the Name of God

Dr. Bart D. Ehrman has 4.5 out of 5 stars (with 967 reviews) for this #1 best seller in historical study reference. Prof. Ehrman is the New York Times bestselling author of Jesus, Interrupted: A Study of Biblical Textual History and Contradictions and God's Problem: How the Bible Fails to Answer Our Most Important Question-Why We Suffer.

He reveals which books in the Bible’s New Testament were not passed down by Jesus Christ’s disciples but were instead FORGED by other hands—and he explains why this centuries-hidden scandal is far more significant than many scholars are willing to admit.

A controversial work of historical reporting in the tradition of Princeton Prof. Elaine Pagels, Marcus Borg, and John Dominic Crossan, Prof. Ehrman’s Forged delivers a stunning explication of one of the most substantial—yet least discussed—problems confronting the world of biblical scholarship.

In this provocative work of biblical criticism, Prof. Ehrman separates history from tradition to reveal:

• Ancient Forgery: Which New Testament books were written by anonymous authors who lied about their identity? Why does this scandal matter for modern faith?
• Historical Methods: Techniques biblical scholars use to detect pseudepigraphy is how we can know who really wrote the books of the Bible.
• Early Christian Conflicts: How internal debates and struggles with outsiders led different groups to create documents in the names of apostles like Peter and Paul (a Jew named Saul) to authorize their own views.
• Lost Scriptures: An eye-opening look at non-canonical texts like the Gospel of Peter and 3 Corinthians, and what they tell us about the world of biblical forgery. More

First female 'Pope' for Church of England

Anglican leader: the Archbishop of Canterbury

A historic shift: Sarah Mullally becomes first female head of the Church of England

Don't spoil this for us, Sinead!

Right Honorable Dame Sarah Mullally has‌ broken barriers, ascending to the position of [the 106th] archbishop of Canterbury. This momentous ⁢appointment, announced on October 3rd, marks a pivotal turning point for the Church of England ⁣and​ the wider Anglican Communion.

Don't think of me as a woman!

She is the 106th individual to hold this esteemed⁣ role and, significantly, she is the first ‍woman to lead the⁣ church established nearly 500 years ago.

The Church of England’s origins trace back to 1534, when King Charles VIII sought to circumvent the ⁤[Roman Catholic] Pope’s refusal to annul‌ his marriage to Catherine of Aragon [who due to him would not bear him a male heir].

• We say "Pope," but the official Church says she's the "ceremonial head" or primus inter pares, "first among equals.

This act fundamentally reshaped the religious landscape ⁣of England ⁤and now, centuries​ later, ‌it’s experiencing another profound transformation.

Rome still rules the world with its pope.

[Pope] Mullally, 63, was a leading⁤ contender to succeed Justin Welby, who stepped down in November 2024. Her reputation as⁤ a highly capable administrator undoubtedly played a key role in her ⁣selection. 

• Sarah Mullally confirmed as first female archbishop of Canterbury
• 'Greedy pig' Harry Styles is shamefully exploiting obsessed women. I know... because it happened to me: LIZ JONES | Daily Mail Online

The Selection Process: An Intentional Path

What Brits need is more pomp 'n circumstance.

The Crown Nominations Commission, responsible for filling the Church of England’s most senior positions, chose Mullally. This commission⁤ comprises prominent bishops‍ and archbishops, and⁣ its process differs significantly‌ from the papal​ conclaves⁣ of the [Roman] Catholic Church. Here’s ‍a breakdown of how the selection unfolds:

• Extensive⁣ Consultation: The Commission engages in months of thorough discussions and evaluations.
• Rigorous review: Candidates are assessed on ⁤their theological understanding, leadership skills, and administrative experience.
• Governmental Approval: Ultimately, the⁣ chosen nominee ‌requires validation from both the [UK] Prime Minister [Keir Starmer] and the King of England [Charles III], reflecting ⁣the Church of England’s‌ status as the state religion.

I’ve found that this deliberate, multi-layered process underscores the gravity of the Archbishop of Canterbury's

position and the importance of selecting a ⁣leader equipped to navigate the challenges and opportunities facing the church today. More

I’m not the first person to notice. The Gnostics knew it. Some of the first Christians read these very same verses and said, "Yeah, this ‘God’ is totally evil."

This video dives deeply into the ancient Nag Hammadi texts and diverse Gnostic beliefs that the creator of our world isn’t the loving God we’ve been taught to worship but rather the Demiurge—a false jealous god (Yaldabaoth?) who seeks to control and keep us in ignorance.

With hidden wisdom and forgotten scriptures, we explore how the Gnostics saw the material world as a prison and the serpent in Eden as a liberator offering forbidden knowledge.

Discover the radical ideas that challenge mainstream religion, revealing that true salvation may rest in breaking free from that Demiurge's control.

The Rapture is yesterday. Repent!

The good, the saints, will be taken up, raptured.

(Religion For Breakfast) Why religions survive when prophecies fail: Have we all been left behind? The Rapture (as preached by Evangelical Christians) took place on Sept. 23-24, 2025, Julian Calendar (not Gregorian Calendar). It is good for a cult when their prediction and prophecies FAIL. It's the social psychology/sociology of religious thinking. Das Kapital? No, das Dispensationalism.

Even though the "rapture" did not take place, it is always a good day to repent, turn oneself around, and do better. "Go in peace and sin no more" was good advice from St. Issa. Mahayana Buddhism, which is very Hindu/Christian, has a long history of regular repentance ceremonies.

Shroud of Turn: Face is NOT human

Shroud of Turin analysis concludes face is not human

Why don't you do some miracles, M'Lord?

(Amaze Lab) The Shroud of Turin is a centuries-old linen cloth imprinted with the faint image of a [undistorted] man’s [face and] front and back.

Housed in [Catholic] Turin, Italy, it has long been venerated as [a holy relic and] the burial shroud of Jesus [the Nazarene] Christ.

One of the Veronica's Sweatcloths

In 1898, the artifact gained international attention when photographer Secondo Pia developed a negative image that appeared startlingly lifelike. That haunting face helped spark global fascination, turning the cloth into both a religious relic and a scientific mystery.

But what is this image, and could modern science finally unravel how it came to be? [Was an artist hired to create it? Did some faithful servant of the Church fabricate it to deceive the world and his fellow ci-religionists?]

• 

  What state is biggest? Tallest? Flattest?

  EDITOR'S NOTE: The Number 1 problem with this cloth and image is a very simple and straight forward fact. If one drapes a 2D cloth over a 3D object, what gets imprinted on the cloth will be distorted, monstrous looking when laid flat again. It is just like asking, What is the biggest state in the US's lower 48 (which means not counting formerly-Russian Alaska) if all states were first rolled flat? One might think it's giant Texas, but it is actually Colorado. Why? Colorado is enormous in 3D (length, width, and height) and only comes in seventh in terms of length and width. Similarly, lay out a cloth and draw on it, and the image will look like what was drawn. But put ink on a body then spread a white cloth on it, and when that cloth is flattened out again, the image will be entirely distorted and bigger than its 2D measurements. But remember, this is "God," so it's magic, and therefore it doesn't need to make sense.

The battle to prove the Shroud’s origin

Church would never fabricate relics

Since its discovery, the Shroud has been fiercely debated. Early forensic studies pointed to blood patterns and wound markings that seemed to mirror Gospel accounts of crucifixion [a Roman form of torture to cause suffering and a slow death by drowning in one's own fluids within a week].

But in 1989, radiocarbon dating published in Nature dated the linen between 1260 and 1390 AD [far short of the 2,025-years-old], placing it firmly in medieval Europe.

This revelation sparked backlash, with critics claiming the tested area may have come from a repaired section.

As more sophisticated tools became available, researchers renewed efforts to determine whether the Shroud was a miracle or a masterwork of medieval craftsmanship. More

Why is Europe so ANTI-Christian?

Why Europe is insanely anti-religious: (Versed) May 25, 2025: The End of Christianity in Europe. There are many reasons, like rampant child molestation by the Christian Church in all its forms.

As Christians we must kill for God

I'll trap humans in the physical world.

God wants us to kill. He commands it. You get no choice. Read the Book of Judges. He likes genocide. He demands children be stoned to death for disobedience. Who in the h*ll do you think you are to resist His will, His written word? Kill, kill, kill. The Bible also promotes rape and slavery, whew. Does that sound like what Jesus taught? We knew the religion we were born into was rotten, a deception. Gnostic.org has a far better exposition of Christian truth long hidden by the institution of the church. But Christians are too scared to hear it. Here a non-Gnostic explores how the real teachings of Jesus Christ (possibly Bodhisattva Saint Issa) are hidden by church officials to keep us from the truth. We could all get along in the world, but the powers that be will not stand for that. There's too much to be made to keep us the way we are, with apologists galore trying to make excuses of unimaginable proportions.

People worship a sexist Bible? (Joe Rogan)

Dark Bible stories that you never heard | Joe Rogan and Michelle Dowd

(University of JRE) April 18, 2024: There was a woman before Eve. Her name was Lilith, Adam's first wife, who was demonized and sent away. There was Onan who practiced "onanism" (which is purposely misinterpreted as masturbation), which is why you can't. Onan spilled his seed, that is, purposely avoid impregnating his dead brother's wife, as was his Jewish duty. So God killed him. He didn't masturbate, but there shall be no spilling of seed without its intended purpose, which has to be attempted pregnancy. Poor Tamara. To survive the patriarchy, she has to put on a costume and pretend to be a prostitute, tempt a man to get her pregnant, be stoned to death for getting pregnant outside of marriage (which was called adultery in those days), and be saved by the fact that the man calling for her stoning was the man who got her pregnant. The Bible is far from complete but, fortunately, the Apocrypha still exists and makes excellent companion reading. The Bible should not be read without reading the Apocrypha for a more complete picture. But the powers that be do not want the Apocrypha read. Read, instead, what the Empire selected as suitable reading material -- the story of Ceasar's Messiah (Josephy Atwill) and the Flavian line or Roman rulers, who conducted a psyop to bring the world the most popular book in circulation, a fabricated, false, forged, and altered Bible.

Porn-loving Christians admire sinful Trump

Sexy Stormy Daniels spills the beans on old farty sinner Trump.

Christians love a masculine and virile God who loves porn just like they do (Family Guy).

.

[Hypocritical] Evangelical Christians HATE Stormy but love Trump. Here’s why

I don't know her. I've never met her. (Love the
sinner, envy the sin? Christian Bible is flexible)

Trump has sinned, but evangelicals admire his biblical masculinity and power.

He’s been found liable for committing [rape] sexual abuse. He’s bragged about [sexual assault] grabbing women by the you-know-what. He’s in the middle of a court case over paying [financial fraud after paying] hush money to a porn star with whom he allegedly cheated on his wife [after their newborn was at home waiting for him] — the third woman he’s married.

Stormy arrives for court hearing at US Courthouse, NY, 4/16/18 (Hector Retamal/AFP/Getty).

.

Just look at my hand-wife since Stormy left me!

And he’s the de facto leader of [Protestant Christian] American evangelicalism [which he is ruining even as more and more white men see themselves in him and so come to his defense].

How could Christians embrace a [corrupt] leader who has seemingly treated half the “thou shalt nots” in the Bible as a challenge?

Don't mention our Dick-Bush-Colon syndicate!

The typical answer is that it’s a matter of political convenience. Donald Trump may not be a choir boy, the conventional wisdom suggests, but he offers Christians wins on socially conservative policies. 

• [This was the same excuse for backing idiotic war criminal George W. Bush and his henchman Dick Cheney and their military whipping boy Colon Powell for the perverse trifecta of Dick, Bush, and Colon, who were totally not racist because they had an unindicted co-conspirator in Black Sec'y of State Condi Rice.]

People say I'm not ugly. I blush. I'm sexy.

And Trump appointed Supreme Court justices [like rapist Kavanaugh] who delivered for evangelicals by overturning Roe v. Wade.

But anyone who’s so much as set foot in an evangelical church over the last eight years knows that Christians don’t describe Trump as an unfortunate necessity, but a literal God-send. Political convenience alone doesn’t explain that. Sex might.

Addicted to Lust: Pornography in the Lives of Conservative Protestants

Forget the sex. Check out those titillating invoices at the Trump tax fraud trial (POLITICO)

.

Addicted to Lust: Pornography in the Lives of
Conservative Protestants (Samuel L. Perry)

According to Samuel L. Perry, a sociologist of religion who has written several books on conservative Christianity -- including Addicted to Lust: Pornography in the Lives of Conservative Protestants -- Trump’s sinful behavior may actually reinforce his support among at least some evangelicals.

Trump’s sexual misdeeds may break religious doctrine, Perry says, but they also affirm his masculinity — at least in the evangelical view.

• 

  Isn't Jesus a MAGA Republican?

  What is Evangelical Christianity? It is a worldwide interdenominational movement within Protestantism that emphasizes the centrality of sharing the "good news" (Greek euangelion) of Christianity, having to be "born again" [not by reincarnation but within this life] by an individual experience of personal conversion, as guided by the Bible, the authority on the Jewish God's revelation.

They demonstrate that Trump is a virile, red-blooded man, afflicted by God — like all “real men” — with lust.

[This is affliction manifesting not just as] lust for sex, Perry says, but for power. And much like biblical warriors, who themselves struggled with sexual temptation, Trump can wield that power to lead the faithful to glory.

Christians love-hate the porn industry they pay for.

In an interview for POLITICO Magazine, Perry spoke about how evangelical ideas about masculinity, pornography, and sexuality help explain the most unusual but politically potent alliance in modern politics.

This conversation has been edited for length and clarity.

How do you see evangelical theology and views of masculinity and sexuality impacting support for Trump?

In the [Judeo-Christian Bible known as the] Old Testament, you have these examples of flawed but wild and effective warriors for the Lord’s work, who also happen to be womanizers [sexual abusers].

P Diddy understands Trump and rape.

Of course, you’ve got [a Jew named] David, who is somebody who’s celebrated as the leader of Israel, who has his affair with Bathsheba.

You’ve got [another famous Jew named] Solomon, who has 1,000 concubines [prostitutes]. But then you also have this character of [a stud named] Samson. I actually think Samson is the best metaphor for Trump. More
