God Spews

As what is, My view is simply that of reality and using all tools you can employ to see reality, is true worship of Me. History, conveyed through the word, is one of those tools.

When humans canonize My word, or worse impose My authority on their words, they assume Godly powers.  This IS a violation of the commandment not to take My name in vain.

I would rather they limit themselves to facts and history.  These things are My teachings.

So here are the facts of “Christianity.”  This religion arose out of the great pain the Romans inflicted on the Jews.  It is possible to learn from what you do know of that pain from the heroism of people who resisted that power.  Some of these, or at least some of their stories, lie hidden in the Roman “bible.”  Of curse, that bible was written to make Christianity a Roman imposed religion .. seeing the truth through the authors’ point of view is difficult.

These authors  became the Romans and to this day try to force Roman will on all of you.

Yet, there were heroes who resisted, who refused to accept the idea that Roman military rule meant acceptance of Greco Roman culture.  If you look outside of Puddy’s bible, you can read about Jesus as a peasant rebel … as part of that resistance but he will appear as Roman rather than as Jewish. This is an untruth.

You might wonder whether Jesus was relly built of tohers’ stories.  Jesus is a cleaned up version of anti Roman heroes like  ben Zakkai,   Rabbi be Zakkai  was a pacifist in Jerusalem in 68 C.E. when the city was under siege by Vespasian.

The rabbi, a Pharisee and follower of Hillel, preached paying taxes and being peaceful but resisting Roman culture.  He opposed the Zealots, Jews who would rather die than surrender to Rome.  ben Zakkia, like “Jesus”  urged surrender.  When Rome’s Vespasian  conquered the city and destroyed the Temple,  ben Zakka had his disciples smuggle him out of Jerusalem in a coffin. This legend says the coffin was brought to Vespasian’s tent.  When ben Zakkai emerged from the coffin, he told the Roman that he had had dreamt that Vespasian would soon be emperor.  The rabbi asked Rome  to set aside  place called Yavneh so Judaism could survive through the study of Torah in peace. Vespasian became Emperor and kept his word. The yeshiva survives today as “rabbinic” Judaism.

Can you imagine this story in today’s Christian bible?  How about the story of Rabbi Akiba who sided with the rebellion against Rome?  Do you see Constantine endorsing this practice at Nicea?

When Rome captured Akiba, the rabbi was skinned alive for refusing to renounce his beliefs. Can you imagine Puddy … and his Roman predecessors, celebrating Akiba’s suffering?
