"The Absurdity of Original Sin " ( ? )
I do not think the Christian concept of " original sin " is nearly as absurd as the contention that American capitalist society is " democratic " . And by what miracle do less than one percent of the population end up owning and controlling most of the tangible wealth ? A fundamental law of physics, simply put, is that you can't get something for nothing . How does the wealth creation EFFORT of the capitalist class explain gross economic inequality ? Do THEY just WORK so much harder and smarter than the rest of the human race collectively ? Will the New Atheism Cult New Hate group convince Christians that the doctrine of " original sin " is absurd but remain silent on the myth of capitalist wealth creation ? From the point of view of democratic socialists great wealth , the wealth of trillionaires and billionaires and multi-millionaires might be bourgeois legally legitimate but it is both morally and rationally INSANE . Will the deified LOGIC & REASON of the New Atheism ever get around to this topic : insane economic equality ? MENSA IQs should not be wasted on " original sin " !
"I’m an Atheist, Here’s Why – Christopher Hitchens Explains "
In capitalist USA today ,where the mainstream news media is controlled by secular ZIONIST Jews, it is much safer to proclaim your atheism in public than to condemn capitalism , American imperialism , and Israeli Zionism . No surprise , the right wing tone of the Christopher Hitchens' Cult classic " God Is Not Great -why religion poisons everything " . He is the top idol of the New Atheism Cult, New Hate group . For these intellectual imbeciles the key to a better world is destroying universal belief in God and organized religion. Time spent worshipping God on Sunday is better spent listening to insipid lectures of New Atheism Cult evangelists ? Stalin got it right when he too, among the Old Bolsheviks, championed " official atheism " in Russia ? Atheist Jews , among the elite of Russian science, played no small role in turning Russia into a seven decade long godless tyranny . " Socialism " was never established in the USSR but " official atheism " and a " New Aristocracy " remained ( these " communists " quickly converted to " capitalist pigs " after the collapse of the Soviet Union circa 1992 ) . No , Christopher Hitchens , your atheism is not liberating . On the contrary !
"Top 10 Historical Lies That Built Christianity " ( ? )
More than ten lies per day prop up capitalism, American imperialism and Israeli Zionism.The New Atheism Cult New Hate group is rather obviously sponsored by secular ZIONIST Jews with ties to the WOKE WARRIOR Democratic Party and possibly to Israeli Intelligence.Their LOGIC and REASON has no problem with pervasive social evil in no way connected with the cruder ancient superstitions.
