Is the religion you believe in, support your own personal prejudices towards others? For example, if you are straight, do you believe your religion only favors those who have your own sexuality?
When there is division in your family due to your religion, I hope dividing your family was worth it. Was it?
If I said, I believe in Dionysus (Greek God of Wine/Festivals 900-800 B.C. or slightly later), Horus (Egyptian God of the Sun, 3,000 B.C.), Indra of Tibet 725 B.C., and Jao of Nepal (622 B.C.), you'd probably say why do I believe in all these mythological gods?
Did you know all these gods share the same characteristics of Christ? All the above gods were born a virgin birth, were a miracle worker/teacher, crucified and came back to life and ascended to heaven and all lived before Christ.
Did you know:
The Ten Commandments are taken directly from the Egyptian book of the dead. (Note: There are about 400 commandments in the Egyptian book of the dead.)
Virgin birth: Copied from previous gods/religions
Born on the 25th of December: Copied from previous gods/religions
Baptism with water: Copied from previous gods/religions
Communion host: Copied from previous gods/religions
Miracle worker/teacher: Copied from previous gods/religions
12 disciples: 12 signs of the zodiac
33 years: That's how many vertebrae are in the human spine. Many Gods who walked earth have a life span of 33 years.
Crucification: Copied from previous gods/religions
Three crosses: Copied from previous gods/religions
Resurrection: Copied from previous gods/religions
Trinity: Copied from previous gods/religions
Holy Spirit: Copied from previous gods/religions
Yet Matthew, Mark, Luke and John never met Christ. In fact, they wrote about Christ thirty years after Christ was dead. Why did the writers of the New Testament copy the same qualities from hundreds of gods who lived before Christ? For the simple reason there was no "God" to inspire them.
If God is all knowing—past, present and future, then God would know that one day the masses would be educated, that books would be researched and published about previous gods and the internet would facilitate the distribution of incredible amounts of information world-wide to the masses.
Obviously, if "God" is all knowing, all powerful, all perfect, who knows the past, present and future—a god who was powerful enough to create the entire universe, yet this "God" couldn't do something as simple as inspire the writers of the New Testament to develop an original set of god-like qualities for Christ. And it's simply for the reason, there is no "God".
Are you happy that you believed in a fake god and selectively quote the Bible to justify your own personal, pre-existing prejudice against gay people and whomever else you are against? And ruined personal family ties, ta boot.
