Ever wonder why pastors of charismatic churches, and lately more conservative churches preach without anyone understanding what they are saying. It is to retain your attention for the moment of clarification, that never comes. To speak in circles and false promises is their hook for your attention. You see, if you say you don’t understand,… Continue reading

The necessity of mystery in religion
What is a mystery? A mystery is nothing else but a contradiction, a palpable absurdity, a notorious impossibility on which theologians wish to compel believers to humbly close their minds and eyes. A mystery is whatever our spiritual guides cannot explain to us. In extreme cases, which happens more and more, this mystery cannot be… Continue reading
The God of modern theology
Ancient gods could move, build up, destroy and propagate beings to himself. The God of modern theology is a narcissist and a sterile being. A complete loner.

All things around him seemed to conspire for his death. He did not understand nature and did not differentiate animate from inanimate objects. He… Continue reading
To adore God is to adore fiction.
Religion avoids embarrassment by telling us that we don’t need to know what God is. We must revere God without knowing Him. It must be unconditional faith, no questions asked, not even about Him and why he does certain things. Here is the problem I see. Humans can only adore, revere and love something tangible….

A universal god should have revealed a universal religion.
A universal religion does not exist. The closest we came to universality was paganism. The common thread was there are no rules. It could be said paganism is a universal religion.
Why is the gospel so difficult to understand
If God wanted religion to be essential, he would make it intelligible to everyone. If it was the most important thing, the goodness of God, it seems, ought to make it the clearest, the most evident, and the best demonstrated of all things. Is it not astonishing to see that the gospel, apparently so essential… Continue reading
