| THE QUESTION: You have addressed the problem with a general solution, but given the opportunity, is there any one specific accomplishment that you would care to address? |
|
THE ANSWER: Even though my heart goes out to the world, I really don't feel that anything I have to add is of any real benefit; I had already said all that I felt was important and even that got terrible twisted over time. But since you ask, there is one specific area that I would imagine that I should have something to say and that is to directly address the Catholic Church. I had absolute nothing to do with its initial inception or subsequent existence, but since it lays such a direct claim to my having given some authority for its establishment, I will offer a message for their most probable death ears to anything that may resemble the truth. Lamah had hoped that I would have uttered some sarcastic phrase like, “I tried to get an audience with the Pope, but he didn't recognize me!” I'm not sure, that under the present circumstances of their ongoing spiritual deceptions those imaginative words might just reflect a sad reality, should I have ever truly cared to be recognized by such a despicable totally secular establishment that is so totally devoid, now and in its entire history, of the development of an individual’s spiritual growth to eventually achieve what Lamah calls “Spiritual Maturity.” I now see this lack of concern for the individual’s spiritual growth as just another strong indictment of this terribly oppressive religion. They will aptly never change as that growth would, no doubt give rise for the individual to have no further need for any church whether it is Christian or any of the other almost infinite number of a means to become religious. In any case, this is what I would care to say to the Pope where I to ever have his ear: “I'm not sure exactly where to begin. First off, this profoundly secular organization, which you appear to head, has absolutely no resemblance to anything that I would have ever created; had I even had the idea of establishing some religious organization in the first place. This is even true, had I ever had the opportunity to replace or reorganize that awful Hebrew religious autocracy that existed in my own day. Even though I eventually died without ever fully denouncing my own Hebrew heritage, it would have equally been a terrible stretch and most probably a waste of my good time and effort. There was and still is no God that supposedly created this wonderful earth and then miraculously surrounded it with this infinite universe that is still being discovered; at least Galileo was finally vindicated for what was an unfounded heresy. That was a good step in the right direction, but the full implication of this noble recognition was in essence swept under the table. This whole concept of this Catholic Church being the direct line from Jesus is nothing but the imaginative projection of some egotistical writer who obviously thought of himself as something more than the reality of his humble human existence. It was nothing more than laying the groundwork for placing him (I'm sure there was more than one self-proclaimed prophet involved!) and others in some enviable position of power. And you, my friend, are a most excellent example of the outcome of such a complete fantasy. With that having been said, I was not then, and I’m still not, even now, this imaginable, or should I say another contrived fantasy: "Son of God." whom you repeatedly address as Jesus Christ, which is why I would vehemently request that you immediately remove from these hideous over-flourished churches any and all references made to me either in word, name, doctrine, and most particularly these ridiculous crucified images that are not even in my own likeness. You're a foolish man if you really believe all this religious mythology and the accompanying doctrines that claim to be the very words of your "God." Being that there is no God, what is this ridiculous “We” thing that you utter as though you possess some special relationship with this nonexistent and entirely methodological God? If you’re having such an imagined awesome experience, that you yourself actually believe is a reality, then your church is in even worst trouble than I had initially imagined, and that is having some totally insane man at its head; you and your history strike me as being rather intelligent and sane. I can't believe that in this day and age, any man like you as head of this awesome church, who could actually be doing so much good on the one hand and still maintains this ridiculous charade of Divine authority. This whole thing is an ungodly farce dressed in fancy robes and often housed in gregarious architectural structures; all of which I find rather disgusting. You need to seriously downsize these physical façades that only cloak your frail fantasies and use that surplus for real charity (agapé) where it is actually needed and even more importantly, you most certainly need to revamp this ridiculous theology that only truly serves the church in its continuing quest for maintaining dominion over its troubled and often impoverished congregations. Try and see, if it's at all possible to start teaching only those most basic and simple lessons that I had specifically chosen for my own ministry aimed at putting a bit of joy into the lives of my own people, not that you have any obligation to me, as I am not any part or parcel of that false God to whom you only presume or perhaps pretend to praise. Salvation does not now or ever come from demanded obedience to any church, especially a church as corrupted to the core as yours has become. You have defiled your own words and office and caused them to be an abomination in the eyes of Love every time you have passed judgment against any human, who only should be seeking to live their life as they see fit as long as in doing so they bring no harm to anyone else. You possess absolutely no Divine authority over any living human being except that of your own meager and now corrupted spirit, and your continued deception and avoidance of the only spiritual truth is a great detriment to the salvation of the entire Catholic congregation. You need to get real and come clean of this truly demonized mythology and theology! I would not ever wish to bear such a grave responsibility for the salvation of others, and most especially, if I were responsible for destroying any real hope for true joy in their lives. I would like to believe that you know in your own heart what the only right thing to do is. The only true question is whether you have the needed courage to at least set into motion the circumstances that will eventually allow some future and more honest and courageous Pope to confess his and the church’s most cardinal sin of spiritual deception; a deception that is beyond any imagination! Even I do not have this outrageously abusive authority over any human’s spirit and it’s the biggest lie of all, to presume than the church can actually offer this promise of immortality or even suggests an alternative to those masses of the disobedient that just happen to violate your oppressive doctrines. The very offering of a heavenly reward or that there exists some eternal place of damnation to which they are eternally doomed; is an equally grand and dreadful spiritual misdemeanor. Just for the record, even I have been intimate with other men before I had become betrothed to Mary; does that mean that Jesus is damned to some mythological hell? You speak of things to which to have no understanding, and your chosen words and decrees are as eternally fallible as the imagined words of that very devil that is equally only a contrived and gullible myth, probably designed to scare little children into obedience. Martin Luther was oh so correct when he called his own Pope the "antichrist." Of course, since there actually is no real hell for even you to attend, you will not have to endure any eternal suffering as any dire consequences for your lack of positive action; that’s the sad truth. I wish that I were this god, as I would, with the sweep of my hand, level every Christian church to the ground that presumes to bare my name. As that unholy Bible claims I said, “Let those who have ears, hear!” Something else that I don’t recall ever saying in exactly those words, but it certainly sounds good, even to me! There are just too many death ears to the truth and you above all others are in a enviable position that could take a great step forward in correcting so much of this spiritual chaos, and that effort would be in the same spirit of my own ministry that was originally designed only to and for the benefit of my own Hebrew people with bringing the means of experiencing a bit of joy in their lives. If you are too weak or powerless to do anything on your own, then I would, at the very least, earnestly search amongst your ranks and find that one faithful and truly righteous man that could have the courage needed for such an assumed and grand spiritual mission. Of course, he could likely be expected to be crucified along with all those other deceased freedom seekers. If this one man is one that I believe him to be, then he will understand that, “No greater love does a man have for his friend, than to lay down his life.” And that was and still is the only justification for my having been crucified myself. And as any good act should have its reward, I was spared of death at that time. There is NO reward for those who deceive others and totally rob them of their earthly salvation; your decrepit appearance is a good testament to that reality. There are two profound deficiencies that have persisted far beyond there appointed time and your continuing their existence is another loud and clear testament to your ineptness as you try to appear as a truly spiritual being. The first that I find most offensive is the abusive and demeaning subjugation of women. Every man is half woman an even woman is half man. There are simply NO differences in the sexes when it comes to matters of the spiritual nature of mankind, with the possibly noted exception that it is woman that gives birth to man and NOT the other way around. That "rib taken from Adam" is a fairy tail that shouldn't even be told to any children as such. I am as proud of those courageous women taking up this cause today as I am of my own Mary who was at my side and every bit my equal when I walked this earth. AND, the other abomination is the church's stand on the unwanted and unneeded births of so many children that only places a greater strain on this delicately balanced earth. It was and still could be that imagined 'Garden of Eden' if only nature was permitted to thrive without the added and unnecessary burden of an out-of-control massive population that is so covertly encouraged by a theological fantasy involving the existence of a living and eternal soul. Life is truly to be valued, and the necessary human and environmental conditions for its ultimate survival need to be realistically recognized without some false moral authority that demands adherence to contrived doctrines that will most aptly lead to the final destruction of mankind itself. Your dogged adherence to these unfounded doctrines that prohibit natural 'conception' will likely and ultimately be responsible for more unnecessary human carnage that all the abortions that have or will even be performed for whatever reason. The unborn and un-conceived are just that, UN-life; and only God, where he to ever exists, has that power to make those decisions. And most important of all is the existence of a free-willed policy granted to any woman to choose the ultimate outcome of any pregnancy. Of course, you wrongfully invoke that fantasy of a 'god' so that you can claim that moral authority to condemn those who violate these unjustified doctrines of ultimate death in the interest of some short-lived gain. You're encouraging the raising of human cattle for the slaughter of starvation. It needs to come to an immediate halt and you need to encourage others like your Moslem brothers to join with you in this noble effort to 'save' the world as we know it today; not whimsically destroy it in the exercise of some spiritual power, self-imposed for who knows what reason or justification? You have been entrusted with unusual power that was intended for good; you have failed to use it employed in so many ways except where it benefits the few. For this alone; your own sin is most evidenced in your ill-health and decrepit appearance. I share no pity for you. All of this is equally directed at your successor.” |
