(Famous People's Religion) The Bible is pure fiction: Mark Twain's dark religion satire: Letters from the Earth points out many Judeo-Christian flaws, inconsistencies, and contradictions.
This is one of the works by Mark Twain published after his passing. These essays were kept secret, having been written by Twain. They may have ruined his career. As it was, he was deep in debt and had lost his wife and one of his daughters.
It consists of a series of short stories, many of which deal with God and Christianity. Twain penned a series of letters from the point of view of a dejected bad angel on Earth.
The title story consists of letters written by the Archangel [Lucifer] Satan to Archangels Gabriel and Michael about his observations on the curious proceedings of earthly life and the nature of mankind's religions.
By analyzing the idea of heaven and God that is widely accepted by those who believe in both, Twain is able to take the silliness that is present and study it with the common sense that is absent. It is not an attack but rather a careful dissection.
Other short stories in the book include a bedtime tale about a family of cats Twain wrote for his daughters and an essay explaining why an anaconda is morally superior to Man.
Twain's writings in Letters from the Earth find him at a quizzical and questioning state, and readers are all the better for it.
Marcion of Sinope (Ancient Greek Μαρκίων [2 Note 1] Σινώπης) lived circa 85–circ 160 [3]. He compiled the first New Testament Bible and was a theologian [4] in early Christianity [4, 5].
Marcion preached that God had sent Jesus, the Nazarene and Christ ("Anointed One"), who was distinct from the "vengeful" God Yahweh (the Demiurge) who had created the world [4, 5, 6] as a trap to enslave other beings.
Marcion considered himself a follower of Paul (Saul) the Apostle, whom he believed to have been the only true apostle of Jesus Christ.
His teaching or doctrine is now called Marcionism [4, 5, 7]. Marcion published the earliest record of a canon of New Testament books [4, 8] or what the Christian world regards as the Bible, exclusive of Jewish Old Testament Hebrew "Bible" (Tanakh), five books of which form the Torah, and Talmud (official interpretation).

(Unpacked) Is this tribe in India secretly Jewish [Asian Jews]? Bene Manashe or Bnei Menashe
The warlike Bnei Menashe (Hebrew בני מנשה or "Children of Menasseh" known as the Shinlung in India [5]) is a community of Indian Jews from various Tibeto-Burmese [6] ethnic groups from the border of India, Bangladesh, and Burma (Myanmar) who claim descent from one of the Lost Tribes of Israel [7][5]: 3 , allegedly based on the Hmar belief in an ancestor named Manmasi [8]. Some of them have adopted Judaism [5] [though most seem to have been converted to Christianity by Western missionaries before realizing they were "Jews," though they have not been easily accepted by white supremacist Ashkenazi-dominated Israeli society even if officials offered them expedited conversion]. The community has around 10,000 members [1]. More
(MorgueOfficial) Premiered Sept. 20, 2025: I’m going to prove that the deity Christians call God is actually the Devil. How? Let's look at PROOF in the Bible itself -- not the cherrypicked verses they spoon feed us on Sunday mornings. I mean the raw, uncut, crazy parts they hope we never open to. And guess what? 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."
(BIBLE STORY) Sept. 30, 2024: What if everything we thought we knew about God and the Bible is wrong?
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.
From wiseSophia’s role as the guide to enlightenment to the real meaning behind Jesus’ teachings, this video questions everything. Ready to explore the truth that’s been buried for centuries? Hit play and behold!
Why are Ultra-Orthodox Jews the biggest problem for violent, secular, anti-religious State of Israel
This country should revert to what it was originally (at the time of the European invasion by Ashkenazi interlopers claiming this is their country after their absence of a thousand years or more), Mandatory Palestine, pre-NakbaLevant, West Asia (North Africageographically but because of PR and Zionist propaganda not geopolitically)

Jewish tradition links Yom Kippur to Moses as stated in the Torah. But some scholars try to say it emerged later, around the 5th–4th century BCE as a priestly innovation, with its scapegoat ritual symbolically transferring Jewish people's impurity to innocent animals that are slaughtered or sent into exile.
How to atone for the sins of a people
We've sin so very much. High Priest, kill a scapegoat.
Yom Kippur (Hebrew יוֹם כִּפּוּר, Yōm Kippūr, lit. "Day of Atonement" for sins) is the holiest Jewish day of the year in Judaism [3][4][5] [with Black Magic, blood-soaked Voodoo practices].
It occurs annually on the 10th of Tishrei [6] corresponding to a date in late September or early October. Rooted in the Torah's commandments, in antiquity it centered on the High Priest's Temple service and has since tried to evolve into a day of real atonement and repentance, reflection, confession, making amends, and seeking forgiveness from both God and others.
Forgive us our genocide and ethnic cleansing.
The day's main observances consist of full fasting and abstaining from physical comforts, attending extended prayer services (usually at synagogue) and reciting confessional prayers. Some modern Jewish denominations, such as Reconstructionist Judaism, focus less on sins and emphasize personal reflection, goal-setting, and intentions for the year ahead.
Along with Rosh Hashanah (the "head of the year"), it forms the High Holy Days, concluding the Ten Days of Repentance by sealing the judgment begun on Rosh Hashanah and highlighting teshuva (repentance), unity, and closeness to the tribal God.
Distinctive practices include five prayer services, the Kol Nidre and Avodah liturgies, and wearing white to symbolize purity.
In Israel, public life largely comes to a halt, while globally it is observed by both religious and secular Jews.
Beyond religious contexts, it carries cultural significance, with public figures honoring the day, and in 2016 it was officially recognized as a United Nations holiday. More: Yom Kippur

The Bible's been changed WAY more than most people realize!
(Holy Koolaid) Since the many books of the Bible were first written, just how much has the Bible been changed? After the New Testament was compiled, how much was it edited, tweaked, and altered to fit the agendas of scribes, copyists, and early Church fathers?
Are there other versions of the Bible? Did significant copying mistakes and translations errors (to say nothing of the purposeful changes and "corrections" to improve on God's word] find their way into our modern copies of the Bible?
If the Bible is the word of God and was divinely inspired, shouldn't it also have been divinely preserved? But has it been?
The SHOCKING lie behind Israel's claim to the land
(The Sarcastic Skeptic) Sept. 23, 2024: Was the conquest of Canaan by the Israelites (who used to be called the Canaanites) a historical event or just another brutal myth?
This video explores the dark and violent story of the Canaanite genocide as depicted in the Bible and dive into the archeological and historical evidence — or lack thereof — showing that it likely never happened.
Let’s critically examine the biblical narrative promoted by Jews today and debunk this ancient fairytale of divine massacre.

But, Morgue, what about sin and salvation? We don't want to anger You Know Who and then He bans us from The Garden and we end up in heck for asking too many questions and harboring doubts against Him.
Morgue replies in this short clip.
The Buddha often spoke of brahmas (supreme beings who are shinier and superior to Maha Brahma, the Great "Supremo," the God of the Brahmins (the priestly self-proclaimed highest caste), who seem unaware of superior brahma worlds. (Wiser Brahmins hold Brahman, the GOD, the supreme reality, not the individual brahmas).
But as for these many brahmas, one day, the Buddha became aware of a thought, a superiority complex, arising in the mind of Baka Brahma. So he paid him a visit. That God was stunned to see a mere wandering ascetic appear in his heaven with the temerity to ask him questions or deign to know more than he knew. The Buddha spoke of these higher "heavens" and superior beings then instructed that God to notice the transience of his heavenly world and his own nonimmortality.
While Baka Brahma disputed it, the Buddha proved it to him first with a demonstration of his psychic powers, disappearing so that that God could not see him, outdoing that brahma's abilities, which is impossible, then not being able to do the same feat. It humbled the God, who was fond of thinking himself the "I am" at the heart of the universe, the creator of all, who wished for company and later saw other beings appear.
(Born Again Barbarian) Premiered Oct. 2, 2024: Christian fundamentalists recently invested in the entire set of the Talmud (at $2,000). The very first volume opened is the one being shown in this video. What we see and read is very shocking. It reveals why [the Christian version of this] God is going to be punishing the nation of Israel [big time, again, for the nth time]. This BA Barbarian's prayer for the Jewish people is that their wicked pride is broken while there is still time for a few of them to get saved [through the Jew that is the God whom they reject]. The New Testament (another Bible to rival the Jew's Septuagint] is far better than the [stinky] Old Testament, and [drug mystery entheogen-anointed cult leader] Jesus Christ was and is the God manifested in the flesh of a body [like the God used to be in the Garden of Eden when He was a he and had a body]. All Jews needs to abandon their horribly pagan and wicked beliefs and put their faith in my lord, the Jewish Jesus of Nazareth of Judea and India, aka Christ.

Is the Talmud satanic? | Unpacked
Jewish Satan = "adversary"?
(Unpacked) Valentine's Day, 2024: What is the Talmud and why do some people think it’s satanic? The first person to make up this lie was Jewish but a vengeful excommunicated Jew who converted to Catholicism [the worst religion though the most popular in the world].
Over the centuries this possible untruth has been perpetuated in places like Johannes Eisenmenger’s distorted book Judaism Unmasked and by literary icon but notable antisemite Alice Walker.

Lebanon angers the giant war-hungry US/Israel
Sir Keir Starmer has told British nationals in Lebanon to "leave now" [because Israel is about to re-invade and occupy its sovereign Christian neighbor] as conflict [terrorism] between Israel [against the political party] Hezbollah continues to escalate [or be escalated by the CIA, Pentagon, Mossad, and weapons manufacturers].
Speaking to the BBC, the prime minister said: “Leave now. It’s very important. The situation is escalating. We need the situation to de-escalate, but I say to British nationals, ‘Don’t wait; leave now.’”

“We are ramping up the contingency plans for an evacuation as you would expect, but my message is, ‘Don’t wait for that.’”
“There are commercial flights still coming out. It is important to leave and to leave now.”
Britain is moving 700 troops to Cyprus to be ready for an emergency evacuation of UK citizens of Lebanon as Israel’s military pounds the region. Thousands of civilians have been fleeing southern Lebanon as Beirut is flattened by Israeli strikes, leaving cars and roads covered by the rubble debris of exploded buildings and hundreds killed and 1,000 wounded.
An estimated 10,000 British nationals are reported to be in the country. They have been urged to leave, though with airlines not running to the Middle Eastern nation, their options are few and far between.
The Royal Air Force has planes and transport helicopters on standby to provide support. The Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office has told Britons not to "rely" on the department for emergency escape routes, though the department alongside Border Force is supporting military teams.
Defence Secretary John Healey announced the move to dispatch more troops to Cyprus, about 160 miles away over the Mediterranean Sea, at a meeting of the government’s emergency response cell, Cobra, yesterday.
