The Bible and its "Apocrypha" (scripture not selected) is modern-day man's main source as to the real or fictional existence of the Biblical God.

             Apocrypha Time Line                                                                                          The Old Testament Apocrypha

Test your integrity: Other than the myth of creation, list by Bible documentation, where the Old Testament Biblical God did something good for someone without hurting another. If your list proves to be short and weak, can you explain to your child why?

Have you ever used this feared, angry, jealous, murderous and wrathful God to intimidate your child because you are afraid you cannot control your child without doing so?

If so, are you trying to use the wrathful Biblical God as your personal voodoo authority enforcer? Do you attempt to authoritatively bully and control other people with your God?

Having faith is blindly trusting the unknown.

Without the Koran and these Bible / Apocrypha sources of the Judeo-Christian-Islamic God / Allah character, Judeo-Christian-Islamic believers would not believe what they claim to believe today.

There are no other sources of God other than the Islamic Allah's Koran - and the Judeo-Christian God's Bible / Apocrypha. The Koran's Allah and the Judeo-Christian God is the same Character - the same "One-God of Abraham".

There is no historical evidence of any supernatural Biblical God or of any other supernatural mythical gods. They're all myths. In reality, there is no evidence that the Biblical God exists. There is only evidence that "belief in God" exists.

I agree that religion is primitive politics and that politics demand control, authority, power and profit over people.

The mystery of a supernatural god lies in our ego's relationship with our ever-evolving genes. Assuming that our human gene-banks (46 chromosomes) light up and shut down as we evolve (age) and that feelings are the vehicles of communication between our conscience ego and our programmable genetic hard-wiring / software, maybe the mysteries of a supernatural god can be resolved and formulated. Assuming that - experience triggers genes and that genes trigger experiences - our genes may be the mysterious gods that we claim to be so personal. Our ego, by interpreting these mysterious feelings / god-like influences, bring all these gods down to one god.

                      Faces of Gods                                                    Throw of the Dice for God

Unfortunately, for our fragile (I am the value, I am the authority, I am entitled) egos, this theory gives our illusive, on-again, off-again genes credit of much of our conflictive, do-want / don’t want emotions and our observable attitudes and behaviors.

What is a theory? A theory is simply another, definite, guaranteed maybe.

Until the capacity for "critical thinking" - for some exploring minds - religion has been spread as dogma to be protected rather than a complex set of hypotheses to be tested.

Solomon Asch's Conformity Experiment

For believers, the Biblical God is the assumed authority over everything. "God's word" has documented 613 laws / rules to be obeyed by His slaves. That's us. Many of those 613 Biblical laws, if obeyed, would place you in a court-of-law and on death-row.

Each time you say, “I believe” you have announced an authority that you have committed to follow, support and obey. When you preach your beliefs, you are establishing your rules and your values. Your ego then expects others to follow, conform to, support and obey your announced beliefs / values.

"The Holy Spirit” is with you only if and when you are willing to be obedient.

The “Savior” focuses on your willfully trying to obey, failing to obey and repenting. If you don’t repent or try to obey, you will not be saved and you will be punished or destroyed. Employment operates this way. If you don't obey and serve the employer - on his terms - you will be financially crucified.

Your salvation is based on your willingness to conform, support, promote and obey the "assumed authority" that you serve.

This "God Concept" is easily described:

Perceive that God was / is the first corporation.

A corporation is an idea, a fictitious entity, with by-laws and an agenda.

As long as this corporation is supported, promoted and financed, (believed-in) it exists.

Example: Trans World Airlines (TWA) did not exist 200 years ago. TWA did exist for many years in the 20^th century. TWA does not exist today.

Trans World Airlines

When people stopped supporting, promoting and financing TWA, it ceased to exist. Such is the fate of most of the mythical gods in mankind’s authoritative history. When the collection plate dried up, these gods ceased to exist.

Ego and God is synonymous. Neither is tangible in reality. Both God and Ego behave as if:

I am the value.

I am the authority.

I am entitled.　

Most animals have these behaviors. Dogs are probably the easiest to compare. They worship, obey and try to please their god / master. They also disobey. Dogs often feel guilty and show remorse when their assumed master / god corrects them. They seem to whine and worship, beg and pray to their god / master when they want something.

How many gods are there on planet Earth? There is at least one god for each ego as each big or small ego privately operates as if it were a god.

6.6 Billion People

Epicurus: Why should I fear death? If I am - death is not. If death is - I am not. Why should I fear that which can not exist when I do?

We all assume authority over some things. We often feel entitled and behave as if we are "gods / assumed authorities" over those things we feel entitled to.

We are not known by nor are we identified with what we think. We are known and identified with what we do or what we have done.

Belief often does not promote truth. Belief often promotes self-serving authority.

Religion is the competition of egos. One "converted" ego, claims to have no will of his or her own and claims to live by God's will. That ego tries to break another's will to serve their God. That "conversion" would satisfy their ego. The other ego either commits to convert to God's will or stubbornly claims to live by his own free-will. Religious people tend to angrily condemn those who choose to live by their own free-will and their own values in their lives. "Assumed authorities" demand: "I want you to live by my values in your life with me being the center of those values." God wants it that way. Your boss wants it that way. Your spouse, parent and president all want it that way. Religion is the training of the masses to serve, sacrifice and to submit to other "assumed authorities" on their terms.

Reality is often a problem for believers / authoritarians.

The International Bankers are the "gods" over all the money on this planet. Money is the only "god of consequence" on planet Earth. Everybody worships, sacrifices for and depends on whatever form of money they are addicted to. You are not addicted to money, you say? Try living without money and what it does for you. If you cannot live without the benefit of money, you are addicted.

Confucius stated a legal principle:

“Do NOT do onto others what you would NOT have them to do unto you.”

The United States of America, without legal cause, did a pre-emptive attack on Iraq and has killed almost a million Iraqi people. The USA has injured millions of Iraqis.

In your value system, would you have Iraq do an pre-emptive attack and kill millions of US citizens? Would you have Iraq occupy the USA?

If you say “yes”, you prove to be insane. If you say “no”, then our Christian-lead nation is wrong - for that is what The United States of America has done to Iraq.

President Thomas Jefferson said: The Christian God can be pictured as virtually the same god as the many ancient gods of past civilizations. The Christian God is a three-headed monster - cruel, vengeful and capricious. If one wishes to know more of this raging three-headed beast-like God, one only needs to look at the caliber of people who say they serve Him. They are always of two classes - fools and hypocrites. Finis　

Today, about 1 out of every 138 Judeo-Christians in our United States of America is behind bars in our prison system. That is hard evidence as to how "good and righteous" our Judeo-Christian country is.

President George W. Bush is the most powerful "god / assumed authority” on planet Earth as of this writing. Bush, Hitler, Stalin and Pol Pot were some of the worst "gods / assumed authorities" in modern history. Why are American "believers" still obeying, supporting, promoting and sacrificing our youth for this heinous tyrant’s murderous agenda?

 Sharm el-Sheikh.Saudi Arabia                         His Oil Well                                        Georg Bush, Hum!

Praying is practicing obedience. Believing is willfully obeying. It is time for this insane, "assumed authority / god" and his staff-support to be impeached and jailed.

It is time for the “might makes right” god-obedience game to cease. Congress must dry up Bush's military collection plate and the troops will have to come home.

President George W. Bush, this heinous, insane god, will now probably try to institute the "military draft" to provide the American blood necessary for the International Banker's wars.

Parents promote God, a false authority, to brainwash and program a child to worship, adore, serve and obey. They program children that God is good, but that if the child is bad, God will be mad and will punish the bad, sinful child. The authoritative parent tries to get the benefit of an obedient, serving, authority-fearing child. The parent often displays that he or she is a model of serving and obeying God - so that the child will learn to serve and obey the parent.

Kings and Presidents claim to serve and obey their “good” God so that their peasants will grovel and serve their “good” authority.

Peasants

Consequently, the parent programs himself to serve his President, King or Tyrant in sacrificial war. The tyrannical Government promoting religion (the worship and servitude of God) gets the benefit.

Religion is primitive politics. Secular politicians use religion as an immoral back up to their assumed authority. When the peasants have “The Holy Spirit” and are willing to obey, tyranny will have its way. War is waged and the Biblical God’s appetite for blood and death is satisfied.

Religious believers are easily dominated due to their programmed addiction to authority, power and control. They seek authority and then they dispense it. It’s called “the chain of command”.

Many businesses and social organizations use religious prayers and oaths of allegiance to draw workers and members. The social organizations want participants who worshipfully, obediently and dependably contribute their time, talent, assets and money.

Clergy has modeled this profitable tactic for centuries. Clergy are con-men who pedal a false authority so an assumed authority can easily step in. Worshipful believers pray for an authority to follow and obey.

President George W. Bush promotes churches and clergy who pedal a false authority so that he, an assumed authority, can attempt to rule the World.

Gary DeVaney: "The God Game" is the authority / obedience game. You can put the word AUTHORITY in the place of GOD and it will fit 100% of the time.

AUTHORITY

Fundamentalist Believer: Faith in God is not a game as God is real and God is the true authority!

G: Nobody is above the truth - and “faith” in an invisible, supernatural God presumes, in reality, to be above truth.

B: God is everything, in reality, and God is truth. Now you listen to me - through The Holy Spirit - I represent God.

G: Have you ever doubted or been critical of your beliefs?

B: Yes, in the beginning, like you, I was a low-life sinner. Then - through The Holy Spirit - I committed to my faith and to my beliefs. I still sin. I pray and repent. Unlike you, I am a saved soul!

G: Have you ever doubted or been critical of your beliefs since?

B: Never! I now realize that I have always been one of God's "elect".

G: Do you consider your belief to be rational?

B: God and the belief-in-God is beyond the rationale of man.

G: Do you seek other's conformity or obedience to your belief?

B: Yes.

G: Why?

B: God and Jesus Christ ordered it in the Holy Bible.

G: Do you believe in superstition?

B: No!

G: Then, how do you believe in a God?

B: Because, the Biblical God is true reality.

G: Are there any human beings you blindly follow and obey?

B: Yes. Those who preach God and Jesus Christ.

G: Do you want other human beings to blindly follow and obey you?

B: Yes.

G: Do you consider yourself to be an authority over other people?

B: Yes.

G: If so, what is your authority?

B: God - through Jesus Christ and The Holy spirit.

G: Who, besides yourself, enforces it?

B: Any saved, god-fearing believer.

G: Do you use God as a threat to enforce your authority?

B: Yes. The Holy Bible tells me to.

G: How do you feel that I don’t obey you or your God?

B: I feel that you are going to Hell! Praise God!

G: Would you send me to Hell?

B: I don’t have to - but if God didn’t - I would if I could.

G: Why?

B: For disobeying God - and me in God’s stead.

G: You would send me into “Eternal Torment” for that?

B: Yes.

G: Do you view that the “Eternal Torment” punishment fits the “disobedience” crime?

B: Yes.

G: Really? Why?

B: God set that criteria – I didn’t. God is perfect. I just obey God.

G: Have you ever killed non-virgin girls, gay men or disobedient sons like God's Old Testament commands?

B: No – I don’t have to as God eliminated all those Old Testament commandments with the coming of Jesus Christ.

G: But, the Bible documents that God does not change and that Jesus said that He came to fulfill God’s law - not to change it.　

B: You can only understand the Bible if you have The Holy Spirit. I am right and I am saved. You are wrong and you are going to Hell. You are persecuting Jesus Christ - and us Christians - when you don’t believe in, sacrifice, unify, conform and obey us. God knows everything. God already knows who will be saved to serve Him for eternity. I will no longer sow my pearls before swine. Goodbye and go to Hell!!!

In reality, there is no evidence that the Biblical God exists. There is only evidence that "belief in God" exists.

            Belivers say Theses are Pictures of God, Hum, Don't see much of a Face there!

All babies are born atheists.

You were born an atheist.

The first meaningful thing a baby gets from others, after mother's milk, is a formula.

A baby has no language skills to formulate thoughts.

A baby reacts to its genetic feelings.

A mother feeding a dependant child becomes a child's nurturing and saving God.

A father's fearful and punishing authority makes the father an authority or God over the child. 　

The words "God" and "authority" are synonymous. Test it. Find "God" written anywhere - replace the word "God" with "authority" and it will fit 100% of the time.

Parents introduce and create the one god for their child so that the child behaves when not supervised by the parents. The child is trained to pretend to be supervised by the invisible God.

This is why people, normally not religious, get religious when starting a family. Religious, praying adults don't outgrow the pretend. They continue setting the example for others to conform to. It gives them a sense of authority.

When a child learns words, thoughts then become organized and remembered.

Parents, schools, media, church and religious believers all reinforce “God” to a child.

To a child, god starts as an introduced thought - which amounts to the most “supernatural” human experience.

A child ponders the reinforced thought of God - which then becomes an idea.

Fears and pressures force a child to commit to the idea of God - which then becomes a belief.

A child develops an observable “Ego” - which is only observed during its conscious hours.

Ego / God both display the behaviors: I am the value, I am the authority, I am more important, and I am entitled. When a child cries, he or she is resisting authority or demanding to be the authority over his or her current reality. Ego and God are synonymous.

Through imagination, a child's Ego attaches to a committed belief in God. After ego attachment, God becomes "sacred" to a child.

God becomes a reinforced, sacred imaginary character that the child's Ego claims to be real.

Both ego and God tends to select categories in which both Ego and God try to be more than what they are.

Whether a child grows up to be a believing Christian, a Jew, a Hindu or a Muslim – their Ego and their God have become synonymous.

                                                                            Growing Up

That’s why they get angry when you question or take issue with their God. If you take issue with their God, they react as if you took issue with them.

Perspective: If any believer were severely tortured while demanded to describe their God, by the end of the torture, their description of their God would look just like them.

The concept of God is purely a psychological manifestation. Outside of an Ego-attached thought, idea or imagined belief, there is no evidence of any God existing in reality.

In God's creation: Life is cannibalistic. Life devours life.

In God's creation: For something to live - things must die. For something to live well - more things must die.

The following is linked, edited and commented on:

It's common for Christians to compare the relationship between humanity and God to that between husband and wife.

God is "the man of the house" to whom humanity owes obedience, respect, worship, humility and honor. Usually this relationship is idealistically portrayed as one of love and caring, but in far too many ways, God is more like a tyrannical, abusive spouse Who only knows how to love and care through intimidation, violence and murder. A review of classic signs and symptoms of spousal abuse reveals how abusive the "relationship" people have with God.
