The world is not something from which we must escape.

Revelations of the Bible says that only 12,000 of each of the twelve tribes of Israel will see Heaven. That adds up to 144,000. That's a lot less than all the Christians worldwide and it's only assuming they will rapture if they are still reincarnating. Otherwise they would already be in Heaven of course.

So how is it that millions of Christians in this world think that they are going to disappear from the face of the Earth and enter Heaven? No wait, don't answer that. I know abandonment when I see it.

I just can't foresee it happening. But what I can see now is if that Jesus guy does appear in the clouds someday, he'll probably have the message of, "I'm leaving you all behind," for them. For all of us. Supposedly when Jesus himself went up into Heaven he said that he was going then to prepare a place for them. We don't have any indication yet that that place is ready. And when he said it to "them" back then they weren't Christians. Christianity didn't come about until about 400 years later. Besides since he would have burnt up in the atmosphere leaving Earth, that's most likely what would happen to anyone flying off into space in just human form.

I imagine if all the Christians do disappear it will be because of the work of Lucifer. He'd probably get a kick out of that.

Anyways, the guy didn't die for me. He died for the notoriety. I just hope that gravity doesn't give out for me. Lifting off the face of the planet I'd be in Spirit form in no time. Talk about a cremation. And alive to boot. Fire has to be the most horrible way to die. When Jesus did it, it had to have left Him with a bad memory. I mean come on, the guy comes back to life after facing a crucifixion and then the Father torches Him on His way out. I suppose He had to be in Spirit form to enter Heaven and They didn't want any evidence of His existence left behind. So who wants to go out in a blaze of glory? Not me.

They seek an ecstatic state. Now I know "ecstasy" can mean joy, but I mean that euphoric feeling of ecstasy one can get when brain-washed. Ever notice that smug glow on the face and glassy look in the eyes of a Christian dressed in their Sunday best getting out of church? They are overly self-satisfied in thinking they are chosen and others are lost in sin and will receive no reward. Nobody gets out of Karma scot-free.

Using words like truth, honest, honorable, verily, verity, sincere, veracity, candor, frankly, joy, peace, true, fact, fidelity, reality, actual, accordance, enduring, appear, forthrightness, openness, consistent, etc. fills the catch-phrases of Christian ministries worldwide. Hell, if I had a personal doctrine where I plugged the fact that it's unquestionably veritable on a constant ongoing basis, I'd have followers too. Perhaps leading to millions of them. It's a rhythmic persuasion like with Pavlov's dogs. Do this and you shall be rewarded. Do that and you shall be rewarded. Do this other and you shall be rewarded. And it's mostly about playing on people's fears, like death and Hell in the afterlife. It creates a herd mentality so that a minister gains more and more power over people willing to abide by his words. Ever notice how most people turn to Christianity at a weak moment in their life? It's no wonder since they are bombarded by the verisimilitude of the Holy Bible at such a point. Preachers seek out the weak and the weary. They know who to approach and speak to first. Those who are easily imposed upon and in a submissive state of mind. It's illogical for me to want to see the ongoing process.

Just like with any religion, we have the freedom to be Christian in America. But tell me, is it really freeing to take up a religion that places so many impositions upon a person? Taking up the burden of the cross is a fraud. In my opinion, Christianity is the hardest religion that there is to follow, that is if followed to the letter of the law. Not just going to church on Sunday and sitting listening and praying for souls that have no more need to be redeemed than if they were Christ Himself. Christian ministers place unfair demands upon their congregations, especially the taking up of their time. When it comes down to brass tacks, members almost have to believe in the supposed coming salvation from this world for the faith itself makes it almost impossible to live life without feeling that one is always in error.
