CHRISTIANISM.
INTERNET INFIDELS.
But in case there is a god, then I have a neat little prayer: God please protect me from your followers.
Absurdities of the Christian Religion or childishness of Christianism.
The idea that God, conceived as a spirit equally infinite in power and goodness, keeps a place of torment in which billions of the weak humans he has created will suffer agonies for ever, is a revolting idea on the moral side and a childish idea from the intellectual angle; and that the further idea, that he condemned the whole race to this vast torture-chamber because the first human pair were guilty of a trivial and melodramatic act of disobedience, and that his "wrath" was averted only by some part or aspect or other childish-concieved duplicate of himself becoming a y many Islamic slave-owning
societies; it helps to account for the ferocity and
frequency of their slave raids, for they had a need for
constant replenishment of their slave supplies. In
Christian slave societies, on the other hand, the
principle that the tenure of slavery should be limited
was almost completely ignored.
Reimarus, Hermann Samuel
(b. Dec. 22, 1694, Hamburg--d. March 1, 1768), German philosopher and man of letters of the Enlightenment who is remembered for his Deism, the doctrine that human reason can arrive at a religion more certain than religions based on revelation.
Gotthold Lessing obtained fragments of the work from Reimarus' children for publication under the title Wolfenbütteler Fragmente in his own Zur Geschichte und Literatur (1774 and 1777). The appearance of the fragments aroused a controversy known as the Fragmentenstreit (German Streit, "quarrel") that provoked both liberal and conservative criticism.
Reimarus also became known for his treatment of the life of Jesus. Jesus, he claimed, was a mere human afflicted by messianic illusions; after his death his body was stolen and hidden by his disciples to maintain his resurrection. Reimarus consistently denied miracles except for creation itself and claimed that the ethical doctrines necessary for the survival of human society were accessible to reason without the aid of revealed principles.
Pope John XII, taught that no one can renounce property rights altogether, as the Franciscans claimed to do, since the use of things consumed in use (such as food and drink) presupposes property in them; he therefore condemned as heresy the Franciscan doctrine that Christ and the apostles had had no property. He also contradicted certain traditional doctrines of property. Theologians commonly held that property came into existence after Adam's sin, by human enactment; according to John, property exists by divine law and not by human enactment, and Adam had property in the garden of Eden.
