ANTICS OF THE CHURCH: THE LATEST:
21st December 2012 has come, stayed as usual and passed. It was just another day.
NASA had predicted that the Earth would start rotating the other way on this day. Christian fanatics gave scary warnings that unless one believes in Jesus and pray while staying indoors for three days, we are as good as dead.
These ideas come from none other than the Pope and Company. When the number of church goers dwindle and the coffers are inadequate to pay for the five star luxurious lives of the church administrators, they come up with such ideas. This happens periodically as evidenced from history.
But the church plays it very cleverly. Like the Political parties. The think-tanks will decide what is to be spoken in public. The spokes persons deliver just that. Some spokespersons will deliberately deliver their version too in addition. If that works, the party will endorse it. If it backfires, then it is his personal view and party has nothing to do with it ! This is the routine exercise to tide over sticky situations.
Similarly the church. The Pope and Company desires to increase the number of church goers and believers. Because people are educated, none really believes the way the church want them to believe. So the routine exercise is to be used that the church is used to. Namely miracle stories. None really believes in the older versions like 'Jesus was specially created by God through an invisible holy ghost' or 'His mother Mary remained a virgin even after delivery' or 'Jesus walked on water' or ' Jesus converted water into wine' or ' Jesus converted stone into bread' etc. Initially some opportunists became suckers to such cock and bull stories expecting Jesus to convert their stones into gold. Or save them from the guilt of cheating and murdering. Nothing worked and the beliefs turned into suspicion.
So the church needs periodical shock treatments to keep at least the hopelessly believing ones with them. So promises of five star life in heaven after death for those who listen to these wise guys is routinely made. Hindus also had heaven depending on what their deeds are. Nothing else would count. In christian heaven, Jesus can make relaxations on those who believed in him and recommend to God for better facilities. Hindus had no such loopholes. So Hindus also converted to Christianity. For better facilities in heaven as well as forgiving any crime committed on earth, Jesus was there according to the church.
But this trick of the church backfired when Islam introduced their own heaven with 7 star facilities, with rivers of wine to swim, mountains of gold and jewels to throw around and even 72 virgins for the female addicts and plump boys for the homosexuals. The 'believers' scooted from Christianity and joined Islam ! Any way they were prepared to believe. So why not believe in someone who can give better facilities?
Now Pope and Company has something to think about ! How to win back the flagging morale of the die hard (no pun or fun intended) believers and change the attention of the hopelessly trapped established and committed loyal believers from the Islamic heaven ! The answer is such news periodically propagated by the church.
In 1990s, the news was that Jesus will come in the year 2000AD following a gesture by Jesus in cross, with two fingers raised. This two fingers were deciphered by the wisest of the wise guys as 2 thousand years ! Now the church released the news through its paid preachers who are so noisy and talkative if money is offered. If the amount is right, these paid preachers and miracle healers will prove that a mosquito is actually bigger than an elephant. An over ambitious preacher said recently in a public stage "Do you know who created Water? Oxygen?" He thumped his chest and smiled "Our own Jesus !" (This is a real incident happened in Kerala in 2012)
So the miracle mongers and faith propagating machinery of the church were active. The number of church goers multiplied. The coffers of the Pope and company became full. 2000AD came and went without any trace of Jesus. The church behaved as if who propagated these nonsenses. It was planned engineered and executed by the church. But they do it behind the curtain. If it backfires, the paid preachers are hanged.
Similarly in 2012. The church goers have dwindled like never before. Islam with its exotic heaven is drawing more from other religions with lesser heavens. And money is needed for cushy life of the Christian monasteries. Thus the latest fire without bullet. "The Earth will stop rotating in 2012 December 21. Those who believe in Jesus will survive. the rest will fall off the earth when it stops"!
As usual the church did not say this officially. But they created the gossip and created fear and panic. The way to escape the fear is simple. Just believe in Jesus. All Christians can easily do that. So they are not scared. the others may get scared and go to hell. The preachers and fanatics spread this rumor.
One Mr. Joseph Richard Fonseca sent me the scary message and laughed at me for my lack of faith. I promised him that if what he said did not happen, then he has to apologize. hence this mail.
He and his likes who propagated the scary message ! Are you listening? Since you were wrong, please apologize like a gentleman and pledge that you will not scare people again like this.
