Christians, Have Your Dreams Analyzed, $50



We all know there are people all around us trying to get at our money. They call on the phone and advertise everywhere. If there was a contest to find the most outrageous scam that takes peoples' money, what do you think it would be?

Is there a place where atheists take money and give us nothing in return? I've never heard of such a thing. Christianity is full of such scams. Christian numbers are falling. Atheist numbers are growing., 

Giving money to a church is problematic in several ways. First most, maybe 90+% goes to pay the preacher and maintain the building. The "tithe" is about paying the church's bills, not some more lofty cause. 

Today I read a column by a woman who apparently makes a living listening and interpreting the dreams of Christians. Her site advertises standard dream interpretation at $50 for 30 minutes but more advanced interpretation will cost you $75. She is so knowledgeable she can even determine whether your dream is a message from God or from "the spirit."  

I wonder if the "industry" of talking to invisible things, hearing from them and helping others with the imaginary and invisible is growing or declining. Certainly, it seems to be doing well. 

I don't know the difference between dreams that have messages from God and what psychiatrists regard as an illness, hearing voices. 

Christianity owes its success to believing in dreams and visions. We all know the major source of what Christianity is supposed to be about comes from the writings of "Paul." "Paul" claimed to know what the faith is supposed to teach because he chatted with Jesus himself. The chat took place long after Jesus was dead. "Paul" claimed Jesus visited him in a "vision." The Bible says "Many were present" at the visit with Jesus but no one ever wrote that he/she was present. 

Maybe "Paul's" tale of a vision with Jesus would be more credible if Paul had spent $50 to have the lady from the website above verify it was the real Jesus he talked to.

Ancient God, Bel (Baal), the Main Character in an Ancient Play

Image
In a British museum is a preserved stone tablet from Babylon. It dates to about 2,000 BCE. Someone labored patiently to inscribe an entire passion play featuring the god Bel. I reiterate this is a stone tablet, not a recopied papyrus. The play begins with the god Bel arrested by soldiers and taken off the stage. He reappears at a trial in the Hall of Judgement. Bel is innocent but is sentenced to death. In the next scene Bel is accosted by a mob. He is despised and rejected. The actor playing Bel is then taken by guard to a hilltop in a sacred grove. Two criminals are taken with him. One of these is released. The the audience then leaves the theater and follows the actor Bel and his guards to the top of a hill where the death scene is enacted by hanging from a tree. The audience returns to the theater for the dramatic final scenes. The dead Bel is stripped and prepared for burial. On a theatrical hill to the side of the stage is a tomb where the body is placed. A stone is rolle...

Will We Ever Know How Accurate Current Bibles Are

Image
When I discuss the many times the Bible was copied and recopied by scribes over a couple of thousand years, the reply is often, "I have a book by this (or that) expert who says the Bible is 99% accurate to its original writers." The 99% claim appears in various places defending the Bible. There is one thing we know absolutely: There is no surviving original copy of the Bible. Even the oldest surviving material is a generation or two after the time some of the Bible was written. This means no one can claim he has, or ever will, compare the current Bible to the original Bible and find the two are 99% the same. We cannot claim either that it is not 99% accurate. For the sake of discussion, however, assume the current Bible is 99% accurate. That would mean the one word out of every 100 was inaccurate. It could still mean an important misreading of the original text. An example is the passage referring to punishment for a man who kills a fetus. In the oldest know materia...

What Was the "Argument" in the Election

Image
I hate to add my blog to the piles of blogs and pundits analyzing and pondering the meaning of the just passed election. But that's what I feel like doing today. I've always like Senator Ted Cruz's summary of politics. He once said, "First, win the argument. Then, win the election." I think there is a way of applying that to anti abortion Catholics and Protestants. The link talks of Catholics who now feel they have no political home because Republicans let them down with Trump but they remain against abortion rights. Taking Cruz's win-the-argument thesis, I'd call the past election about an argument between two groups. One group's argument was, "Trump's a jerk." The other's argument was, "Abortion is wrong." The group, "Trump's a jerk," won the argument and then the election.  While one can argue the election, or any election, it about more complex issues, I believe in the end elections hinge on very simple ar...
