Paul here is my brief description of the historical cult of Christolatry versus the spiritual Christ of the Apostle Paul.
Our national religion is the fetishism of primitive man in the last stage of perversion. Eternal Cause is treated as if it were a weather vane at the summit of creation that might be forced to veer round at every breath of selfish prayer. The very existence of a God has been made dependent upon his personal manifestation in Judea; consequently he is non extant if not historical and a jew; those for whom the historical evidence fails, find themselves without a God in the world as the result of atheist teaching, and the poor jews have to suffer for the imposition that has been practised in their name.
Equinoctial Christolatry boasts of having put and end to individual sacrifice; but it is compatible with the masses of toiling people being offered up forever in one great sacrifice. The other world has been held as a lure in front of that beast of burden, the Producer, in order that the scent of future food in another life might make him forego his right to grazing ground here in this world. The Christian cult has been made compatible with the state of society which shows more repulsive extremes of wealth and poverty, splendor and squalor than in any pre Christian world; in which the slayers of men still win the great rewards; in which intelligence may be legally turned to the chief account by taking advantage of the ignorant; and in which the standard of conscience is the status quo of things as they are, and not a test of the result of how things are.
False believing is ever the worst enemy of true doing; and every Sunday the teaching of these legalized kidnappers of the children, for the compulsory innoculation of their minds with the old theological virus, tends to nullify the good done by education the other six days of the week.
They want to have the childrens souls to pledge, That these shall only bear their kind of fruit. Who are but dead sticks in the living hedge, ROTTING FOR THE LACK OF ROOT!!! |
