Anti-Theism

[Haipule]

*Sigh* Let me give you some background "noise". Hundreds of years before Jesus, a man from Greece named Alexander the Great, conquered the world. He demanded that all nations surrender to him in HIS language which was Attic Greek. That language became the language of the world. Attic Greek is itself a dialect of the Classical Greek.

Alexander did this because he knew there was no wiggle room for loop hole and interpretation in his language. After the demise of Alexander, his Attic Greek degraded into local area dialects around the world, including Jerusalem, called Koine Greek. That is the language of the NT.

Koine Greek is highly inflective. It is a root word with alphabet soup telling us the precise inflection of noun declension and verb conjugation. Greek is a precision Swiss watch while English is a sun dial at night with the largest dictionary in the world so that we can explain a thought. "My translations" are the honor of those inflections! The language itself is the interpretation. So PLEASE don't make me a part of that.

"Shitty?" To whom to you give that authority to call anything God, "shitty"? Everything Christian and religion has degraded into shit! Friend, you are self deceived because you do not challenge words. Your whole life is your anecdotal evidence that their is no God. Congratulations!

It seems that you want to defend God but not the institutions which revolve around its worship.  Why is that?  I mean, what do you think God is (please be as explicit as possible as I truly have no idea) and what do you think people should do differently in their lives based on what you believe?

Also, what did you mean by "anti-theist" when you made this thread?

1.) My life has always been one of extremes. The present is no exception--it's off the charts and unexplainable. However, when I was 29, I reached an end. Is my life a lie or, is theology a lie? I knew my life wasn't lying. I had been studying Greek for years and being taught by people whom studied Greek in college.

But, I had to know more. I started with the word pistis translated as "faith". But the ecclesiastic usage was nonsensical. I started with the verb so that I could understand the noun and the participle. pistis means trust(trust what you know) not "faith" or "believe". Yet, the church uses the noun as a verb. So, from there theology was unraveling.

Then I got heavy into the grammar and started translating myself and found something beautiful. But, I had to shuck that barnacle encrusted oyster to find that pearl. My life and the bible now make perfect sense but the church is a clusterfuck from the beginning!

2.) Biblically speaking: Jesus IS God and He is man. Jesus plainly says so. God became a man so that He could die on a cross to pay a price for our ransom to our captor Death so that we might have life is His fame. However, that death made man right so, Jesus no longer had to be dead so, He raised the third day.

Jesus also plainly stated that He IS the Father: the Head of the house. We are the house. However, the "monotheistic" church turned God into a Trinity--huh? Now, how does that make sense? Truly, the "Holy Spirit" just means pure-breath. The Greek neuter noun is pneuma-breath. It refers to knowledge/information learned from an exterior source. Whereas, psuchE-breath is internal/instinctive knowledge and it is erroneously translated as "soul".

So the church says, "animals have a soul but, they do not have a spirit". Not realizing that the bible is just saying that animals have an instinctive intellect but, they cannot read a book!

The Trinity is Santa Clause, the Easter Bunny and Casper the Friendly Ghost!

To me, Jesus has been a good life long friend. The church however, calls me a "blasphemer"!

3.) I didn't understand anti-theism but, I knew whom to ask. I have a much better understanding now but, it still doesn't make a lot of sense. I understand now the 'why' but, not so much the 'what'.

Added: I am like you. What others do is none of my business until they make it my business. I answer only for myself and make excuses out of no one.
