Why Creationists don't realize the biblical Creation is just jewish mythology?

[Haipule]

Anti-theology Sir! I cant use theology to support my anecdotal life because it can't! Not to a atheist, or a Christian! Theology is complete bullshit! Do you agree? People went to seminary school to learn how to be that stupid! My life is God real: you can't deny that I exist! Really? I had to get out of theology to figure that out!

Yeah but... then why be a "Christian" in the first place? It's an arbitrary designation having to do with an arbitrary acceptance of a (perhaps!) not so arbitrary sacrifice.

I've read the Gospels, bro. And, despite my legions of inadequacies (social ineptness, lack of skill at wooing women, sucking at working construction jobs, failing to load a dishwasher properly), being able to absorb, comprehend, and remember stuff I have read is actually one of my strong points.

After having read your Gospels I have this to say: I have known tons of atheists who act the way "your lord Jesus" commands in his sermon on the mount, simply because they think it's the right thing to do. And I've known tons of Christians who would never under any circumstances do that stuff that "your lord Jesus commands" in that sermon on the mount... even under the pressure of thumbscrews... because they despise the idea of ever acting in that fashion. And the only reason they consider themselves Christians in the first place is because they dig the idea of getting to live forever in Paradise because they nodded their head when someone asked them to believe a sacrifice story.

I agree with you, Haipule. Theology is complete bullshit. But (and I think this is where we might disagree) doesn't that mean that Christianity is bullshit?

I defend the bible but not Christianity because Christianity IS bullshit. christianos is first the Greek christos which means: anointed. -ianos is a Latin adjectival ending and means: belonging to(in a first century sense of slave/employee). It was a word given us by outsiders. They didn't call themselves that. In the 2nd century "Christian" became a title of honor.

Now days a "Christian" is someone who accepts the Nicene Creed which is complete bullshit--every word of it! So, in that sense I am not a Christian. The Beatitudes:

Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. Matt 5:3 NASB

 

Now let’s look at this verse from a more hyper-literal translation with the removed definite article [thee] put back in, so that we can begin to see what truly Jesus had said:

 
Hyper-Literal(same verse): [the character and nature belonging to]wealthy(prosperous, fortunate) thee-all destitute-ones(ptOchos, far less then poor, 0% you ) (with respect)to-[thee] pneumati-breath(100% God), that(purpose) of-them-same she-is thee rulership(feminine) of-[thee] skies(plural, not of the land and therefore, over the land i.e., the kingdom/rulership of the heavens/skies, being above, is having/possessing authority over the all things of the earth-land, right here, right now!). Matt 5:3

 

In other words, if we are humbled(not “humble”) in the flesh with respect to that which God breaths which fills, nurtures, cleanses, purifies, trains and builds us as trustworthy-ones of God through study and life, then we-all, so described as being so humbled, are [the character and nature of]abundantly-wealthy and we are the ones who possess the rulership of the heavens/skies, right here, right now, and that, whether we understand it or not, with Divine vested and delegated authority to rule the all things of earth, being over the earth, because we understand the equation: “100% God + 0% you = 100% God” and not, “God helps those who help themselves”, which is neither stated in Scripture nor implied. Jesus did not say “the poor in spirit”; whatever that means? He said, “thee destitute-ones (with respect)to-thee breath--that which God breathes, both knowledge and life”.

I am not a "believer". I am a truster of God and His Word kickin' ass. Not some lame "believer" getting his ass kicked! I don't "believe" in Jesus. I trust Him and there's a big difference! It took my whole life to understand that. And, I couldn't learn that in church.
