What I didn’t understand when I was too young to be repulsed by Christianity is it’s inherent misogyny. I remember that in my youth I would feel uncomfortable in church. It was usually smelly and the atmosphere was stagnant and dead – much like the congregation. In that church sat generation after generation of corpses, people that were sure to tithe exactly ten percent as a God-tax but those that had rejected even their own children in order to satisfy the bloodlust of the patriarchy. Their God was similar to their husbands, masculine, over-bearing, cruel, unwilling to accept femininity except in the role of the inferior sex.
Sermon after sermon, we were taught that we should prostrate ourselves to the men and give up intellectual pursuits for the greater purpose of the family unit and the cohesiveness of our congregation. Nothing really demonstrated the essence of the divine accept for those that were looking for a father figure to punish them and protect them from other males. The Bible was supposed to be the last word in all judgment but it was increasingly clear that the Bible has many contradictions and could not be trusted as an absolute source of truth. In fact, the Bible can and is used to justify many evils – slavery, misogyny, genocide, rape, incest. It seems to run the gamut in terms of justified sin as long as the perpetrator or “sinner” is male. If a male commits murder or other humanitarian offenses the Bible justifies them because of their relation to God as males. Women are not as loved by God as males because apparently God thought that their role in the fall of mankind was more significant than the man’s. The crazy thing is that supposing Adam and Eve were the first humans on earth there is no evidence of this in human history. In fact humans were present on earth millions of years before Adam and Eve. This is just one of the many lies that the patriarchy pushes in order to shame, control and enslave women.
Their agenda is not to worship God or to be Godlike, it is to become gods by mating with human women and creating a mix-breed of fallen angels. The blood of Christ which they say covers them is just their nod to the murder and rape of the divine. They have no interest in the welfare of the women in the congregation. The goal is to strip the earth of it’s wealth by putting it in the hands of these patriarchal monsters.
I read a book called The Last Hours of Ancient Sunlight, by Thom Hartmann that helped me to understand better why taker or colonizer or white supremacy culture is so bad and what it’s outcome will cost us. This book and the movie “Ferngully” were two great resources that show this type of theology of “taker” cultures. Taker cultures are those that take from the earth and do not replenish what they’ve consumed. They have a predatory effect on the natural resources including human capital, or the enslavement of indigenous communities. What these white colonizers don’t comprehend is that the earth doesn’t belong to them because they are white. There is no such thing as a superior race of human beings; white colonizers in general have one thing that perpetuates their ownership of property, land and humans – weapons of war and religion.
As these two resources I’ve mentioned say, the earth is finite. The earth’s wealth and capital is finite. Oil is finite. This means that there is no such thing as an unending supply of oil for future generations to consume. It means that we don’t get another shot. We either use what oil we have to invest in a clean and renewable sources of energy and transportation or we run out of oil and transportation and industry cease. Also, we know that potable water resources are limited. This means that as fracking and the auto industry waste and contaminate our fresh water reserves, we will see more and more weaponized conflict over water. As most people know and by what happened to Flint, Michigan, water is essential for life.
What will we do when we stare at the accumulation of wealth of American culture and see nothing more than a trash heap? What will we do when the last bee dies and there is nothing left to pollinate our crops? If the bee population is wiped out, in four years all of humanity will be dead.
What we need to do is to return to indigenous community leaders and take their wisdom and lifestyles to heart. We should be educating our leaders and students about the difference between taker and leaver culture so that we don’t end up fighting resource wars enflamed by corporations who are insatiable in terms of growth. We don’t need growth based economies because they are ultimately unsustainable. As a culture we are only as strong as our weakest member. It is not wise or sustainable for there to be a patriarchal society when the very elements that promote war and oppression are the factors of toxic masculinity.
We should be like the leaver cultures, like Native Americans who replenish the resources they use and share what they have so that there is no resource hoarding. We don’t need widgets, we need to start using technology so that most jobs are work from home and the only slave class is artificial intelligence. What animal in nature do you see that expects itself to commute to a job then work for 8 + hours, drive home, and go to bed and do the same thing 5 days a week? It’s insanity. No wonder people don’t want to work. I’ll tell you that a human’s time is infinitely more valuable that any salary or wage. Why are we wasting time and energy building homes with unsustainable materials when we can use 3D printers to build concrete and virtually indestructible houses? Why do we have road crews when 3D printers can build roads in minutes?
Why are we spending what agricultural resources we have on animal husbandry for meat consumption? We have more than enough resources to adequately nourish every living human being with plant matter. Why are we using precious resources on meat consumption when it’s long been proven as unsustainable? Humans don’t need meat. Our domesticated animals that need diets high in protein can use grubs instead of other domesticated livestock.
Christianity is at the heart of this societal wart. There is even a scripture that justifies eating meat saying that all of the animals on earth are safe for a Christian to consume because God has called them holy. It’s nonsense! How can we justify the genocide that Christians permit for the sake of evangelism? What they call evangelism is just colonization and modern-day slavery. Despite what they tell you, belief in something doesn’t make you superior, it makes you more likely to justify bad behavior as “devil-made-me-do-it” but “God forgives me” nonsense. At this point, no one has really a clear understanding of where evil comes from because people are so saturated with a nonsensical interpretation of God who created the devil but finds human sin intolerable and grounds for eternal damnation.
It is clear that religion is man made with the intent of taker world domination and genocide of more civil, leaver cultures (like the American Indians). By leaver, I mean a culture that leaves nature intact instead of taking it and destroying it for their own selfish purposes.
Money was created by and for the genocidal white patriarchy to enslave women and natives into a life of servitude for minimal to no compensation. Land was stolen from all of us and made for us to have to pay a high rent for something that cost the landlords little to nothing to purchase. Money in itself is worthless paper. It’s only value is if it is used to enslave people who are infinitely precious as a resource. The patriarchy wants to use tax payer money to fund private schools that don’t teach accurate history so that they can white wash their greed and destruction. Marriage is a construct that legalizes women becoming male property for their purposes, including slavery and child-rearing. This is why the Christian church “hates fags and transsexuals” – they don’t fit the mold and can’t be controlled because they don’t believe in the Church’s piety and threats of condemnation.
