If the biblical story of Jesus is valid, true - his intentional sacrifice and God-sanctioned suicide for The Believers was for nothing. It served no life saving purpose. Your Jesus committed suicide for you, and you continue to dishonor his work. Think about that before you get offended...finish thinking? Why for nothing?

Because...

His theologically flawed followers – including the religiously inconsistent non-believers are STILL sinning and polluting the universe with flagrant disobedience which gives perfect indication that Jesus failed to be effectively impactful. Same as Moses. He too failed to rally the wanderers with obedience. Two unsuccessful Hebrew and New Testament giants – and their disloyal sheep. Losers and turncoats.

We cannot and should not separate the one who failed from the unpreventable. The failure is the result that we live with every day. Look around...

You know what I am talking about...You see what I see. Your conscience is the indicator. Is it clean? Or, is it dirty? I will be the first to stand and shout, 'I am dirty. Filthy.' As a result, I have been FROZEN. Generating no life. Sharing no life. Is there a ‘saint’ willing to provide a testimony?

The fountain's life form – H20 - is stuck in place.

As this year comes to a close I know that there will be a lot of melting while in place. Life, like the fountain will eventually begin to flow again. Rejuvenating our existence.

Inconsequently, the frozen molecules of life will be superficially rejuvenated by empty rhetoric at Night Watch services all across the globe. That religious diarrhea of the mouth will be puked by ego-driven disciples (preachers) that actually need to remain frozen e.g. Eddie Long and the other usual suspects.

What is this Authentic Rejuvenation?

Our lives are constant. Life goes on and on. Unlike the water fountain we don't have to recycle the same life forms which are often times mistakes. We have the ability to purify ourselves. The ability (I said)!! But, our tired New Year resolutions are proof of our failure. Of our wasteful attempts to refocus.

If the story is biblically inherent, Your Jesus tried to cleanse you when he committed a crime in his final act of embarrassing desperation to be heard. To be seen. To be acknowledged. Nothing else worked! Not even his divine magic e.g. resurrection and ascension. Nothing! His death should have been the Christian Good News.

As my good friend, L. Scott said, "No one pays attention to good news any longer." He is right, and it is a fact that I should have gleaned from my textbook readings of the biblical text years ago while in seminary. I must have been too busy chasing the skirt of the preacher’s daughter.

The Good News Jesus spoke of (if the story is true) was vehemently rejected. Irresponsibly ignored as if it was meaningless metro news i.e. black man shot multiple times resulting in death at a Church’s Fried Chicken franchise while he attempted to protect four Latinas.

The crime, the Messiah’s bad act - became shallow celebrity news e.g. Kanye West and Lady GaGa: will be forgotten! Do you know how much brainless attention this secular human worshipping gets? More than we realize!

Let's personally resolute ourselves with the one and only gift we should have during the Christmas and Kwanza season - and in the New Year, TRUTH and LOVE! Hell, if you must, commit a crime to get yourself to that un-pearly gate of truth and bliss…like YOUR Jesus did…No - we ain’t ready to sit in incarceration for righteous rebellion.

Not sure why not…we spiritually incarcerate self each and every time we heed to Joel’s white-washed instruction to turn to our church neighbor and say, ‘Jesus is Lord.’ Some of these men and women are sending you straight to hell…if there is one.

Top Ten Signs You're a Fundamentalist Christian

10 - You vigorously deny the existence of thousands of gods claimed by other religions, but feel outraged when someone denies the existence of yours.


9 - You feel insulted and "dehumanized" when scientists say that people evolved from other life forms, but you have no problem with the Biblical claim that we were created from dirt.

8 - You laugh at polytheists, but you have no problem believing in a Triune God.

7 - Your face turns purple when you hear of the "atrocities" attributed to Allah, but you don't even flinch when hearing about how God/Jehovah slaughtered all the babies of Egypt in "Exodus" and ordered the elimination of entire ethnic groups in "Joshua" including women, children, and trees!

6 - You laugh at Hindu beliefs that deify humans, and Greek claims about gods sleeping with women, but you have no problem believing that the Holy Spirit impregnated Mary, who then gave birth to a man-god who got killed, came back to life and then ascended into the sky.

5 - You are willing to spend your life looking for little loopholes in the scientifically established age of Earth (few billion years), but you find nothing wrong with believing dates recorded by Bronze Age tribesmen sitting in their tents and guessing that Earth is a few generations old.

4 - You believe that the entire population of this planet with the exception of those who share your beliefs -- though excluding those in all rival sects - will spend Eternity in an infinite Hell of Suffering. And yet consider your religion the most "tolerant" and "loving."

3 - While modern science, history, geology, biology, and physics have failed to convince you otherwise, some idiot rolling around on the floor speaking in "tongues" may be all the evidence you need to "prove" Christianity.

2 - You define 0.01% as a "high success rate" when it comes to answered prayers. You consider that to be evidence that prayer works. And you think that the remaining 99.99% FAILURE was simply the will of God.

1 - You actually know a lot less than many atheists and agnostics do about the Bible, Christianity, and church history - but still call yourself a Christian.

Love it! Lord…I wonder what the Christians are saying. They know this brotha is RIGHT on! -Muata Nowe

Still in Desperation

*A Worthy Benediction*

We are not what God created. We are robotic byproducts of all that is good and bad in this world. God is responsible for the authentic self - not the processed, manufactured, packaged humans that we have willingly become. While there is good in us as a result of what we have learned and experienced via shallow existing, the bad within our hearts and souls finds its way in the outcome. The final product. That product is called Life.


Life, a defected organism that began clean and pure - but ends in a mess because of man's inability to rebuke greed, arrogance, envy, jealousy, and ego. All biblical characteristics of God, by the way. Then we have the audacity to seek forgiveness when we freely defy the Creator's creation, Purity. Through Christian belief, we leave salvation and grace in the hands of the Lord...wanting Him to purify us. Make us anew so we can join Him.

If you agree with the above or even if you can understand my declaration, you now must admit that human development is compromised by what Christianity promises.

Ask yourself, how? Then recite your benediction:

May the Lord bless you and keep you; may He make His face to shine on you and be gracious to you; may He lift up His countenance on you and give you peace. -Numbers 6:22-27

The selfish dependency we place on God to bless, keep, be gracious, and give peace to us is remarkably astonishing – and gives indication that we are still in desperation…even after God’s word is preached by the people’s chief Byproduct Maker, the Preacher.

Strength to Face the Hell we Create

If only she would have paused, reflected, went back, and did not allow fear to consume her.

http://www.ajc.com/news/atlanta/easter-crash-trial-aimee-709883.html

Fear was the beginning of Aimee Michael’s demise. The beginning of a guilt filled conscience that will surely haunt her for the remainder of her life. Her self created torture continued with her participating in what that fear produced, The Cover Up. Finally, as if that is not enough weight for the cross she has to carry, her selfish belief that her soul would have allowed her to live with what the continuation of fear accomplished solidified her demise and instituted her hell. Hell is what we create while on earth when we are dominated by fear!

At that moment, during the hiding from the secular (police) Aimee sealed her fate. She killed herself along with five other people.

Returning to the scene immediately would have proven that fear did not win. The Return would have provided all those left living with a less challenging attempt to forgive. Aimee's departure as the flames engulfed life, removed that one element that God gives, Immediate Grace.

Fear won on that Easter Sunday. Wow! Easter Sunday! The day Christ came back, the day he returned without fear of being slaughtered again. Christ defied all Non-Believers and validated his power for Believers. With all we know about Christ, I ask when will we be as he was: Courageously Bold?

Aimee, obviously, with her fear of facing her mistake did not believe that she would have been worthy. Worthy of God's understanding. Worthy of man's strength to usher her back into God's unconditional loving fold. But, what did we expect considering man’s inability to resist the temptation to judge? What did we expect considering the absence of courage?

http://www.art-prints-on-demand.com/kunst/briton_riviere/daniel-1.jpg

Lord God...where are the Daniel's among us? He stood in that den never fearing that he would be devoured. He boldly turned his back toward the enemy as to express, 'Even with my back turned, I fear nothing. Fear will not cause me to reason with the enemy while I am temporarily in this den. I shall look to the heavens for my courage. My strength.”

Amiee Michael had her chance to Turn Around. To be as strong as Daniel. Now, she leaves freedom behind without looking back:

We have to go back. Return. Turn around. That's the only way to address the pain and horror we have injected into God's universe.

As we leave here today, remember not to kill yourself and others with fear as your weapon. Go to/turn to/return to someone you have wronged. Face what you have caused. Be faithful – as Daniel – he defeated what Aimee could not.

Amen and Amen!

How God Defeats Science

Having no ability to measure God or account for His existence through reliable fact is the issue I have with the Concept of God. Not that I do not believe there is a divine force in the universe that we refer to as God - but believing in a God because our faith substantiates the belief only proves that we are putting our understanding of God in the inconsistent and elaborate imaginations of man/woman. Therefore, the faith we have in a God is a forced belief because our imaginations want and need this faith food to quell its spiritual hunger for answers. Faith will always win out with this dynamic at work while science becomes the atheistic justification for non-believers.


One critical factor we must keep in mind is that science does not need anything - an outside force - to produce or maintain validity. Science is absolute. Faith comes and goes based on where people are in their religious life - and in this process it does not gain man/woman nothing but another belief in an unstable mechanism of support that one has to blindly exercise faith without reason to make real. Such as heaven. The same process for Satan. The same process for Jesus walking on water and being born from a virgin. And, it goes on and on.

The constructors of Christianity and its most devoted promoter, the Christian minister, relish in the fact that it goes on and on. That it is a never ending speculation without a reasonable or responsible conclusion. Why?

The constant effort of trying to understand keeps the desperate and the hopeful wanting and needing answers. Leaving the soul pleading for - you guessed it - unshakable FAITH.

Unfortunately, these God-seekers spend the majority of their life either searching for answers that will never produce a scientific or quantifiable conclusion - or adhering to what does not make any sense at all. The latter, is the key to Christianity's worldwide success. The believers, with defeat, give up trying to understand with the utilization of logic and become men and women who repeat verbatim,

'I believe by faith. And by faith alone.'

When this regurgitated religious pronouncement is uttered, I become confident in my anti-religion dogma. Specifically anti with the religion named for a man whose character is not reflected in its present form, Christianity. The believer is trapped at this point in her self imposed pious tornado. In that declarative storm/test that many find themselves undergoing and enduring repeatedly in the life that their God has bestowed or should I say burdened upon the flock?

When I look back over my life…

I am amazed that I am still here. I am amazed that I can say, ‘God has been so good to me.’ Saying it these days brings guilt. Saying it makes me feel so unworthy. So, for the past three years I have secretively said, ‘God has been so good to me.’ I cannot bring myself to utter that sentence of declaration with honest conviction.


The guilt stems from my memory. Memories and reminders of what I have done and said that has been so unbecoming of a human who prides himself on being a Good Man. I have easily lied, leisurely stolen, randomly cheated, recklessly fornicated, and boldly flirted with death. I have been unendingly wrong on so many occasions. My behavior has mirrored the actions of those who do not have any regard for moral decency. Now, at this point in my life I am prepared to come clean. I guess I am cleansing now as I type this confessional…without providing the details of my ‘sinful’ behavior. That I will not do!

What I will do is stop myself each and every time I slightly think about saying, ‘God has been so good to me.’ If He has been acting in my life He definitely needs to retract all the guidance and favor He has bestowed. I am not worthy. Especially when I think about all the people who have been strictly devoted to God from a Believer and including an Atheist disposition. Confusingly, I have to admit that there are countless human beings that live righteously - by God’s word and commandments – but end up enduring the most horrific lives.

And yet, while walking on a beautiful Saturday morning and enjoying my colorful mood I have the shameless audacity to think, ‘God has been so good to me.’ So selfish. So self centered. So arrogant. So conveniently forgetting of my dirty past. A past that I am partially ashamed of in numerous forms. A past that I am beginning to rectify.

Before we speak the words, ‘God has been so good to me or God has blessed me.’ I would like to challenge each of us to Look Back Over Our Lives with humility. With confession. With resolve. Lord knows I did not do this for years! Including the years I boastfully professed to be a Christian. It was not until I vehemently denounced, rejected, and exposed Christianity that I became aware of my dark shadowy past. Interesting…The cloak of Christianity insulated me. Saved me in the form of fake forgiveness. Blanketed me in the Protectionism of Hypocrisy.

We have to clean up the mess we’ve made without Christianity’s protections i.e. grace. When we do we will begin to look back without shame. Without embarrassment. Without guilt.

Old vs. New

Have you ever wondered why the bible drastically changes its rhetoric beginning with the New Testament? The adaptation is significant.

The Hebrew Bible (Old Testament) is lawfully absolute. You do something and there is the consequence lurking like a snake examining its prey. Genesis, the Beginning, begins that way with the Garden of Eden story: Adam and Eve committed an act that produced dreadful ramifications.

The OT by all accounts is a complex story of what to do and what not to do. Of how people behave, and the results that come forth from the behavior i.e. God's Chosen People were banished to wander in the wilderness. Actually, the OT has been designated by some to serve as a law guide i.e. Leviticus. Consequently, with most accounts when the laws were broken there was no preventable way to avoid the wrath of God.

When the reader reaches the New Testament there appears to be this new dramatic push of grace and forgiveness. The change is recorded in the synoptic gospels.

The NT tells the story of a man who unsuccessfully convinced man to love his brother. His story - despite man’s inability to adhere - serves as an example of how we should righteously live our lives so some level bliss dominates one’s life. It basically gives us a road map to be worthy of God's love without emotionally subscribing to the religion, Christianity. Whereas, in the Old Testament this love is somewhat void, and God's contempt, jealousy, vindictiveness, and callousness reigns. The NT pages are not completely consumed with condemnation as we see and read in countless places in the Old Testament. Not until one gets to the last book, Revelation.

Why the vast difference? Why did God's so called inspired writers suddenly change their tune?

Could it be that God had nothing to do with the creation and formation of the biblical text? Could it be that the writer's of the New Testament believed the people needed an easier version to embrace? We have to admit that there is a gentler process in the NT. One can make it to God’s heaven with a law breaking record that includes murder, molestation, and torture.

With what I have shared above - which has been shared by countless men and women before and is prevalent knowledge of any trained seminarian - why do Christians and other religious people hold the bible as their safeguard? Their crutch? It is like depending on something or someone who has a shaky past. No one does that when they are removed from emotion and forced to think with logic and reason.

Perhaps, a better question is, why do those (Today’s Preacher) who claim to know biblical truth do not utter it in sermon, bible study, and/or Sunday school? It definitely would not be a membership builder…
