Is Jesus God?

Jesus is not god, and there are simple ways to confirm this obvious fact. We can, for example, employ common sense…

METHOD I: COMMON SENSE

First, suppose I told you that I am the son of god, that I have the power to “save” you from hell even though the biblical god and his prophets never mentioned hell or any possibility of suffering after death, and that god wants you to give my personal cult 10% of your earnings.

Would you believe me and turn over 10% of your earnings, or would you conclude that I’m trying to scam you?

Common sense tells us that an all-powerful god doesn’t need our money.

And why would an all-powerful god need human belief, when he could just do whatever he wanted to do, without needing any help from humans?

METHOD II: LACK OF EVIDENCE FOR EXTRAORDINARY CLAIMS

Before you gave me 10% of your money, surely you would demand proof of my claims.

But of course christians can’t prove anything they claim.

They clam to be led by the mysterious “Holy Ghost” and yet there are 45,000 different christian denominations, disproving this ludicrous theory.

Christians claim they have a “personal relationship” with Jesus, but he refuses to speak to them directly and clearly, disproving another barmy theory.

• Why didn’t Jesus tell christians not to murder women as witches, because there are no women with supernatural powers, and if there were, no one could give them fair trials?
• Why didn’t Jesus save the lives of christian women who were unjustly accused of being witches?
  • Either Jesus didn’t care, meaning he is not loving and compassionate.
  • Or Jesus is incapable of communicating with human beings, meaning he is not an all-powerful god.
  • Of Jesus simply doesn’t exist.
• The same test can be applied to christians owning slaves, to christians raping and pillaging in so-called “holy wars,” etc.

In conclusion, nothing christians claim rings true, either in personal relationships, or in the collective behavior of christians during witch trials, the enslavement of millions of Africans, holy wars, etc.

I grew up in an evangelical christian family where everyone believed devoutly in the biblical god, but nothing my church told me about its “god” was true.

METHOD III: FOLLOW THE MONEY

The real goal of Christianity is to get 10% of our money, by hook or by crook.
