Example C3

Jesus wishes you a horrible death if you reject his message.

The Foreword makes the claim:

> that Jesus wishes you a horrible death for no other reason than
rejecting his message, namely that you may perish in a holocaust
worse than the one inflicted upon Sodom and Gomorrah.
So much for the Prince of Peace. Lies, all lies.

The Did You Know section lists the following verses:

- Jesus wishes you a horrible death if you reject his message?
> Mt.10:13-15 + Mt.21:44 + Mt.25:41-46 + (Mt.11:20-24 +
Lk.10:10-15)

(only 1 of the 5 verses below, Mt.10:15, is crucial but the
other 4 are required to set the scene)

And here is the proof:

Matthew 10
[Jesus to followers:]
11 When you enter a city or town, find some worthy
person there and stay in his home until you leave.
12 When you enter that home, say, Peace be with you.

Also known as: as-salaamualaikum! According to Islam, this
is the greeting that all the prophets always used, from the very
first one, Azzam (=Adam), to the last one, Muhammad, and
may the peace they wished us be upon them all.
Muslims universally greet all we meet like this, surely a very
civilised gesture.

The following 3 verses are possibly the most revealing of all
in the entire NT4 and therefore absolutely central to a proper
understanding of Jesus, Christianity and the behaviour of
Christians down the ages, so read them carefully.

13 If the people in that home welcome you, they are worthy
of your peace. May they have the peace you wished for them.
But if they don’t welcome you, they are not worthy of
your peace. Take back the peace you wished for them.
14 And if the people in a home or a town refuse to welcome
you or listen to you, then leave that place and shake the
dust off your feet.
15 I can assure you that on the judgment day
it will be worse for that town than for
the people of Sodom and Gomorrah.

Because they are so important, here are the same verses from
the KJV, and we see that this old trusted version says the same:

KJV.Mt.10:13 And if the house be worthy, let your peace come
upon it: but if it be not worthy, let your peace return to you.
KJV.Mt.10:14 And whosoever shall not receive you, nor hear
your words, when ye depart out of that house or city, shake
off the dust of your feet.
KJV.Mt.10:15 Verily I say unto you, It shall be more
tolerable for the land of Sodom and Gomorrha in the
day of judgment, than for that city.

On browsing through the NT years ago these verses caught my
attention and told me that something was wrong with either the
NT or with Jesus-Christianity or both.
These sentiments do not appear in Mark and John, nor are they
contradicted, but they appear almost word for word in Luke
(Lk.10:10-15), although Luke's version is mixed up with Jesus'
next outburst, in Mt.11:20-24, so we quote Luke there.

There are no alternative interpretations possible, no mitigating
circumstances, so let us be clear about this:

Here Jesus condemns whole towns and their inhabitants
to a horrible death for no other reason than (maybe only
a few of them) rejecting his message.

Please read that again, and 10 times if you are a Christian.
It is no use Christians pointing out the places where he heals
and comforts and feeds people - the above is totally outrageous,
profoundly pathological and negates all the positives.
To instruct his followers to take back the peace they had wished
their hosts on his behalf is already beyond the acceptable for any
prophet, all supposedly magnanimous and philosophical persons.
It is also counter-productive, after all, having wished them well,
why not leave those kind wishes behind as a goodwill gesture
which just might make those people think again and so maybe
be more receptive another time?
Sowing today for a future harvest, to paraphrase Jesus himself.
But to wish all those good and innocent people dead is horrific
and barbaric and simply unforgivable.
Henceforth, the Prince of Peace is a myth, a fairytale, a marketing
ploy (probably by Paul, Christianity's leading spin doctor and PR-
guru), a modification of the truth, also known as a downright lie,
and he should be known as the King of Death.

This is not an over-reaction on my part, although I am one of
those who rejected his message, so am directly affected as Jesus
clearly wishes me dead, gone and eradicated.
I am feeling persecuted and threatened now and am considering
a multi-billion-euro lawsuit against Christianity as represented by
the Vatican, as it is demonstrably a clear and present danger to
my health and happiness, not to mention my inalienable right to
religious freedom, and I am not joking.
Over the past 2000 years, how many millions were forcibly
converted or killed in the sacred names of the Father, the Son
and the Holy Spirit?
And it is reasonable, indeed it is obvious, to make the connection
and claim that born-again Christian monsters like GW Bush and
Co ("Submit to the Zionist International New World Order's
Western Corporate Totalitarianism or be wiped out!") get their
most evil and deranged ideas from the NT.

As presented in the NT4, Jesus can only fairly be described as
a psychopathic killer looking for fresh victims, inventing any
pathetic little excuse to blow innocent men, women and children
to bits. Is that why Christians are so eager to bomb and maim
and kill around the world? Is this their justification? Is this their
role model and their hero? Judging by many a sermon by many a
televangelist, the answer, tragically but not surprisingly, is: YES.
In the name of civilised behaviour, we must therefore demand
the immediate removal of such deeply offensive and outrageous
passages from all existing and future copies of the NT4, before
another insane world (mis)leader goes berserk, probably on Iran.

So much for the Hallelujah-brigade's claims that the Gospels are
bringing the Good News - HA! What a sick joke.

Now compare the reaction of Jesus with that of his predecessor
Abraham back in OT.Gen.18:32 and answer the following simple
but very important question: who is the better person?

These pathological outbursts cannot be explained away by his
contemporary followers by saying that Jesus must have had a
bad day, or similar. There are fundamental issues about the
very nature of Christianity to be confronted here.
Maybe the current Pope, Benedict 16, brilliant theologian and
intellectual, could help us all out? And urgently please.

May we hear no more criticism of the Quran!
May we hear no more criticism of prophet Muhammad!
