"For
the essence of sin is man substituting himself for God, while the
essence of salvation is God substituting himself for man. Man asserts
himself against God and puts himself where only God deserves to be; God
sacrifices himself for man and puts himself where only man deserves to
be." John Stott
Here's a good description of the Judeo-Christian religion.
ReplyDelete"The word God is for me nothing more than the expression and product of human weaknesses, the Bible a collection of honorable, but still primitive legends which are nevertheless pretty childish. No interpretation, no matter how subtle, can (for me) change this.
For me the Jewish religion like all other religions is an incarnation of the most childish superstitions. And the Jewish people to whom I gladly belong and with whose mentality I have a deep affinity have no different quality for me than all other people. As far as my experience goes, they are also no better than other human groups, although they are protected from the worst cancers by a lack of power. Otherwise I cannot see anything 'chosen' about them."-Albert Einstein
Religion is mind rot. A bunch of asinine Stone Age bullshit that only the weak minded, apparently in need of comforting fairy tales, can swallow.
Oh,and it's also stupid as fucking hell.
