Original Sin – Your Mere Existence is Violence

Placing the weighty burden of achieving absolute perfection in the eyes of one’s putative God upon a helpless being is not just nonsensical, but it’s also one of the most profoundly misguided and malevolent philosophies ever conceived. It is the main reason I left the Christian church and adopted this journey called ignostic atheism. My authenticity and integrity recaptured, I became a much better person the day I stepped out of the church for the very last time.

Suddenly, the world began to make sense again; I was not the agent of evil I had been told I was, nor was I alone in this matter.

Self-loathing and secret isolation of the wayward are the pivotal mechanisms inside any predatory philosophy.

“The ocean is a desert with its life underground and the perfect disguise above.”
~ America, ‘A Horse with No Name’

Decades ago, I started doubting the reliability of the Bible because I noticed that much of its historical and philosophical content didn’t seem to align well or coherently. Additionally, I observed that many of its spiritual teachings were inconsistent and often contradicted the realities and evidence presented by everyday life. In my exploration of ancient civilizations, genetics, and human history I discovered that the Bible’s collection of writings had been unacceptably altered by disingenuous editors, transforming it into a series of unreliable and manipulative texts – few of which agreed with each other at all.

Agency took proprietary possession of humanity’s sacred history, a confiscation which they had no right to undertake, and distorted it into an imperialistic, violent, and impersonating monotheism.

I realized that even in the First Century Levant, people had valid reasons to distrust this series of documents. Those who raised objections were excommunicated, vilified, crucified, or compelled to escape into the desert, due to the overpowering lust for control that characterizes such evil (a note for concerned Christians on this1).

Inside the Riddle of Sin, woven by editors into the fabric of the Genesis story, resides this implied modus ponens: Under the context of original sin, your very existence is an offensive act, and serves as a permissive for violence in perpetuity against your race of beings (see The Awesome Insistence of Cataclysmic Mirage Theory).

President Barack Obama in a June 3, 2020 ‘Town Hall’ meeting, placed a Mark of Cain upon one race, deeming it a ‘plague of our society’ and declared that they collectively bore an ‘original sin’ – one which they carry because of the mistakes of their ancestors. There were of course no measurable objectives of success offered in this proclamation, so it will never end – with these persons, by their appearance alone, forbidden to speak or exist as full rights-bearing citizens until they have paid in perpetuity for their crimes of unjust enrichment.2

Sound familiar? It should. This is the same trick plied by the God of Eden in the Bible’s ‘Genesis’. This is not something which will be applied to the whole of ‘society’ (as the rhetoric of the footnoted statement might appear to suggest) – but rather a single group based upon their appearance or lineage. This is also Step 4 of the Ten Stages of Genocide, dehumanization. Remember, we are here to learn how to identify evil. Not evil persons, but rather evil influences and intent.

This is the same guy who commissioned gain-of-function creation of the SARS-CoV-2 virus and then in a fit of appearances, had its research secretly shifted to brand new bio-research labs in China.

You shall know them by their fruits. The progeny of their father – The One Trick Pony from The Beginning.

If your club’s philosophy is based on the concept of original sin, count me out of your group, especially if you attempt to coerce me by threat of any monetary or ontological penalties derived thereof.

  1. Christians, please don’t conflate my criticism of Christianity’s regard for the corrupted Genesis story, as a condemnation of your faith in Christ. Those are two different things. Part of the mind trick being played on us all is this – for you to defend every element of what they (orthodox powers and rulers) taught you as one single belief… it is not. Much of First Century Christianity saw the Kingdom Come of Christ as constituting an overthrow of the Old Testament Archons, not as a completion of their thousands of years of fecklessness on behalf of mankind. You just were never allowed to be told this story. Read ‘The Lord’s Prayer’ closely, it is about mankind’s captivity and eventual emancipation from this useless and evil Old Kingdom – one which has its roots, in Eden.
  2. “They are the outcomes not just of the immediate moments in time, but they’re the result of a long history of slavery and Jim Crow and red lining and institutionalized racism that too often have been the plague, the original sin of our society.” – Jun 3, 2020 Obama Speech Transcript

Hi Skeptic – I explored this prompt in GPT : ‘What does orthodoxy say the reason Jesus died on the cross for us vs Protestantism.’ I think the difference exposes the key lie to corrupt the original intent . To me it explains the severity of attacks on Orthodoxy that still occur today, but peaked from 1917-1945. Orthodox Christianity Core idea: Christ died to defeat death and heal humanity Orthodoxy frames the Cross primarily as victory and healing, not as a legal transaction. Key points: • Christus Victor: Jesus enters death freely and destroys death from the inside by His… Read more »

No religion has the perfect answer to God/the creator. The kingdom of such a God/creator is within us. By using our brains, bodies, good will etc. we expand goodness. @ethicalskeptic has done that multi-fold for your follower. Thank you.

The Bible is not a historical book. It is about the old man and the new man and everything that happens inside of man.

I’m sorry to hear you walked away from Christianity. The theology you site here is missing a key element (Burdening a hapless creature with the sole responsibility to bring only perfection into the presence of God…) This is OT theology that is incomplete because the perfect One (Jesus), had not yet come. During this time one could present a sacrifice (the shedding of blood of a lamb or goat) to find forgiveness and acceptance with God for sin. This sacrifice was a representation of what was to come-the perfect, sinless, spotless Lamb of God. the NT makes it clear that… Read more »

Unfortunately, this is a very mixed up explanation using texts and ideologies other than just the Bible-which speaks for itself. God wasn’t contained in a garden and certainly doesn’t need food or slaves (I Kings 8:27). And just as a father disciplines his wayward children, so God does with his children. (Hebrews 12:11) The good news came first-with the Garden of Eden in Genesis-a perfect paradise, followed by Adam and Eve’s disobedience, and then the promise of a Savior (Genesis 3:15). First, the beautiful, perfect garden, then sin, then salvation. Adam and Eve could have chosen not to disobey and… Read more »

Mithraism is dead. Christianity which embraces the one true and living God and His Word, the Bible, continues today and will continue forever.

But no hard feelings :)

oxymoron

The same thing happens with non-indigenous. I can never be pure because of northern hemispheric derived genetic code even though this body was made literally of the soil, gas, water and carbon found here in Australia – offered up by her materials. Am I not born of this land? Is she not my sacred mother? No as my descendants were European, I remain a ghost. No land for this man. A globalist meme with legs. It’s all bullshit.

St. Augustine used “homunculus” theory to elucidate the elegant “original sin” explanation of how all humans except Jesus caried this sin-trait. By this theory the “seed” came from the progenitor father and was nurtured in the “soil” of the maternal womb. Jesus, grown from the seed of the divine father, did not have the “original sin” genes… Actually, as we now know, genetic traits ae caried equally by father and mother, so the theory becomes internally inconsistent, no longer “elegant”. ;-( The origins of harsh (murderous/enslaving) “Patrist” culture may lie in the vast desertification of 6000 years ago in the… Read more »

TES, your religious example here reminds me of some of the absurdities in modern government. We are all assumed to have signed up to the terms and conditions of the governing bodies in power at the time we come into the world. How can a just govt assume informed consent from an infant?
