Ridiculous fairytales and so on


“The God of the Bible is a moral monstrosity.”- Rev. Henry Ward Beecher

Orthodox Christianity claims that people need to be righteous because Yahweh likes righteous people and hates the wicked. They claim that the righteous will receive eternal life in heaven, while the wicked will burn in hell. This is just another one of their delusions.

People should be righteous. Everyone knows that. But the question is- Why? Hearts of wicked people cannot be changed by telling them about how they will burn in hell because of their wrong actions. Even if a wicked man becomes righteous because of fear of hell, it wouldn’t be true righteousness. He would be doing good acts just to get rewards after death. Wicked people can also be made righteous through self-realization. Even a wicked man can be brought to the right path if he is given proper education, if he receives unconditional love, and if he is taught to sympathize with others.

But, is that what orthodox Christianity teaches? Nope. Their formula is, “If you do this, you will go to hell. If you do that, you will go to hell.” There may even be a few good and kind-hearted people in orthodox Christianity, but are they good and kind-hearted because of their conscience and because it is the right thing to do or are they good and kind-hearted because they want to go to heaven and get rewards from Yahweh? Most probably, it is the latter one.

Orthodox Christianity has also cooked up a lot of ridiculous fairytales in order to convince people that Jesus was a son of God, and so on. But, all of them including the virgin birth are nothing but forgeries. Let us see how it is an obvious lie.

Jesus, since was a descendant of David, is called the Son of David. The first chapter of Matthew explains how Joseph was linked to David’s bloodline. It is to explain that David was an ancestor of Joseph, and since Joseph is the father of Jesus, Jesus became a descendant of David.

But, later in the same chapter, it says that Jesus was born through the Holy Spirit. It is clearly stated that his mother was a virgin when she gave birth to him and so Joseph was not his biological father. So, this is where a big error comes in. How in the world can Jesus be a descendant of David if he was not the biological son of Joseph? How in the world can Joseph both “be” and “not be” the biological father of Jesus?

More evidence that the story of the virgin birth was a fake-

  • Strangely, neither Paul nor any of the other apostles mention the story of the virgin birth. Not even once!
  • Jesus couldn’t be both the son of the Holy Spirit and the Son of David.
  • If the story of the virgin birth was really true, then why isn’t it mentioned in the gospels of Mark and John?
  • Jesus had brothers and sisters, which strongly weakens the virgin birth theory.
  • In many passages, such as Luke 19: 10, Jesus is called the Son of Man. Maybe he was implying that after his death, people would fabricate false stories about his birth and claim that he was born through some supposed divine way. Yes, he is also called the Son of God in many passages, but we all are the children of God.

The above are just examples. There is a lot of irrefutable evidence that shows that Mary couldn’t have been a virgin. There are lots of pagan stories about virgin birth too, so it is obvious that the birth of Jesus was fabricated like a pagan story so that the large number of the pagan people would accept Christianity. The claims of virgin birth were just cheap ways to glorify famous people in the past, but none of them have been historically proven. (Not to mention, that virgin birth is scientifically impossible.)

If the Bible were to be made into a movie, it would be the most graphic, most violent and the most disgusting one. It would be banned outright. Plus, is Yahweh really just, kind and compassionate as the orthodox Christians claim he is? Let’s take a look at one horrible passage from the Bible…

Hosea 13: 16: Babies will be dashed to the ground, and pregnant mothers will be ripped open.

Truly one of the most disgusting passages in the Bible, isn’t it? What’s worse is that it was supposedly commanded by Yahweh himself. What kind of a “kind and merciful” god would threaten to murder innocent babies and pregnant women? Such malevolent garbage!

Sadly, I know many people who claim such garbage to be written by God. Either they can’t think, or they refuse to. The Bible shouldn’t be read even as a history book. It should be read to know what kind of madness orthodox Christianity is full of.

Blessed are the merciful.
