But, but, wait a minute, Jack the Ripper converted 5 minutes before he died of a massive heart attack. J the R is in Heaven, dancing with the angels. LaLaLa, he’s a ballerina now. I, however, am an atheist, and am doomed to Hell, unless I want to convert, too, and go frolic with J the R. Ha, ha, ain’t religious morality funny?

So, a good-hearted, law-abiding atheist who never hurts anyone is worse than a serial killer who converts to religion 5 minutes prior to death? THIS is the “superior moral authority” claimed by religion?? Seriously?!

I don’t think I could invent Solomon even if I tried! He’s the real deal but fortunately, he’s unlikely to ever convert anyone!

I know the answer.

There’s nothing so pathetic as a person who thinks they have all the answers!

Being murdered for a fatwah, getting raped by a priest, or emptying out your bank account for an embezzler tele-evangelist is not an abuse of powers or sin committed in the name of religion, the supposedly superior moral authority? Puh-leaze. The religious sheep are so quick to excuse the corruption in their midst, and so quick to condemn law-abiding, tax paying, good-hearted atheists. By their fruits ye shall know them, a verse of scripture, ring a bell for anyone?

God exists only in the mind of humans. Life is not fair. Jack the Ripper died, and he got away with murder. The insistence of the religions to sell their “fairness insurance, god will make it all work out after death” is ridiculous. They are selling a defective product. It may be emotionally comforting for some people, but look at all the baggage that goes with it. Atheism may be hard nosed, but it makes more sense. I may not like the truth that Jack the Ripper and other killers get away with murder, but that does not change the fact that it is the truth. Take a deep breath, and appreciate life. I don’t need god for that.

You have been wasting time compiling confused misleading thoughts read from your un resourceful books. You can keep your book and rather study the true book Qoran.

The term anti-Christ is in regards to those like Bar Cochba, the Jews’ messiah and “prince of Israel,” whom the new Christian leadership rejected as the their “messiah returned.” To the Christian leadership at the time, Bar Cochba was an anti-Christ. As for the false Christ of Matthew 24:24, that, as noted above, seems to be in connection with the Gnostic Christ, whose followers Hadrian (71–138 CE) called “bishops of Christ” in his letter to the Consul Servianus. A false Christ or anti-Christ was anyone at that time not chained to the new orthodoxy. Where and when the author of the Gospel According to John has his Jesus say, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the father except by me” is in response to the Bar Cochba period.

John was the last of the canonical gospels. Theophilus of Antioch appears to be the first person to mention its existence as a gospel (during the later half of the second century). However, the Rylands Papyrus, which could be part of a copy of John, has been paleographically dated to 150 CE, fifteen years after the Bar Cochba revolt. John’s gospel resonates more with the Jesus of the Talmud than the Jesus in the synoptic gospels. For example, John has his Jesus dying on the eve of Passover, as the slaughtered lamb, not following the Passover meal as the Jesus of Matthew and Luke. Actually the documentation of the time points to the so-called crucifixion as actually a fabricated cruci-fiction, invented along with the resurrection story after 95 CE. Rabbinic law called for criminals to be stoned, not to undergo a Roman-style crucifixion, although hanging was acceptable for lesser offenses. Jesus was killed “by hanging him on a tree” (Acts 5:30 & 10:39); Jesus was “hung on a tree” Galatians 3:13; his “body [was] on the tree” 1 Peter 2:24.

The Apocalypse or Book of Revelation is subconscious religious symbolism woven together with the messianic events associated with the forty-two-month Bar Cochba revolt. The Bar Cochba revolt occurred circa 135 CE, when Jewish towns and temples became Gentile, as per Rev. 11:2 & 13:5.

By the way,…The Apocalypse or Revelation of John reportedly was admitted into the canon of the New Testament in the late fourth century by one vote. That one vote margin of acceptance is said to have been attained only after the addition of the first three verses, which is quite humorous, considering that the last verses of Revelation say, “No man shall add unto these pages.”
