THE NEW NEW TESTAMENT

Paul's first letter to the GALATIANS

 

chapter 01

Paul starts out his letter to the Galatians in a slightly different tone. Now he is a little harder on the Law. He still ain't very friendly.

vs. 9: We have said it before, and now I say it again: if anyone preaches to you a gospel that is different from the one you accepted, may he be condemned to hell! EQ.

Well, Paul. Go fuck yourself. That ain't how Jesus wanted the gospel shared. Jesus didn't use the word hell. You are selling your gospel.

“And even if Jesus did use the concept of hell, it does not make it real.”

“Good point. And another point is. No one knows what Jesus Christ said or if he really existed. It is madness to justify rules with someone’s name. A rule needs to be relevant and stand on its own or it is bullshit. It must adhere to the laws of physics. It has to be applicable to all. The rich and the poor. Or it is bullshit.”

Vs. 11: Let me tell you, my brothers, that the gospel I preach is not of human origin. 12. I did not receive it from any man, nor did anyone teach it to me. It was Jesus Christ himself who revealed it to me. EQ.

“Well hold fucking on right fucking there, Paul. You prick. Don’t give us this ‘my brothers’ shit. The gospel you preach is of course from human origin. Anyone who thinks any teaching comes from not human origin, and I don’t mean from other animals, is an idiot. And you are deceiving the idiot reader when you say it was not from human origin but from Jesus Christ.”

“Unless he means Jesus Christ is not real.”

“No, he is selling the idea that Christ is super human. God’s only son that cannot sin or tell a lie or make a mistake. A once in a universe event never to be attempted by anyone else. And that is bullshit. Jesus, if he existed, was a man. Like any other except that he stood up for what he thought mattered. And he said, ‘I am not good.’ He was simply pointing out that we are slaves to the Lords and their whores the priests and lawyers. So fuck off Paul. What you preach is what your preach. Don’t pawn the blame off on anyone else. You are responsible for what you tell the people you want them to do. Jesus wanted something very different.”

vs. 12: It was Jesus Christ himself who revealed it to me. EQ.

“No he didn't. Jesus was not a founder of churches. He taught that the Kingdom of heaven is at hand. You have managed to make the mirror image of what Jesus Christ himself wanted. The man. He wanted the end of the fucking murdering men’s club. An end to tyrannical rule. He wanted an end to the lie that heaven was somewhere to go when we are dead. He wants us to take the heaven we have. For, though it is hard, it doesn’t get better until we fucking well make it better. And not with more fucking rules for the poor.”

vs. 16: I did not go to anyone for advice. EQ.

“Why not, Paul, do you think you have nothing to learn. Do you think that in a moment of hysteria on a desert road you received all the secrets of a 13.7 billion year old universe.”

vs. 19: I did not see any other apostles except James, the Lord's brother. EQ.

Just a reminder that Mary had other children. Some believers missed that. James was one of his brothers. Half brother on account the mother of Jesus was raped by a Lord for her first son.

Here is a question out of the blue for millennium three after the Jesus story. Is anyone not a descendant of a King.

“What the fuck, pray tell, is a King.”

“A character in a bloody fairy tale.”


chapter 02

Oh, you sorry paranoid Christians and other believers of other religions, the arguments are empty. There is nothing but unconnected ranting.

“But what if the people didn’t have religion to tell them how to be.”

“They have television and the rest of the media.”

“That too is a big lie religion.”

“I cannot see how seeing that bullshit is bullshit will make this world a more dangerous place than it already is. We don’t have law and order. We have laws and insanity. Mass fucking mute insanity.”

Stop all this fucking believing. And wake the fuck up.

Back to the foreskin question.

vs. 4: Pretending to be fellow-believes, these men slipped into our group as spies. EQ.

Fucking Spies. Are you fucking serious. What the hell do you have for a big fucking secret. The bullshit clubs with their big fucking secrets. Well guess what. You are pathetic. The whole fucking bunch of you sad pricks thinking you are big fucking cheese balls in your very special moron clubs.

“What got up your ass.”

“I am pissed off with idiots happy to be idiots. I am pissed off that religion and lies and the criminally myopic insane run the planet into the gutter.”

“Well, get a grip and be a little more subtle our no one will read your raging antivirus.”

“Fuck. You gave away the big secret.”

vs. 11: But when Peter came to Antioch, I opposed him in public. EQ.

That ain't very friendly. Why didn't you go sit in a little café and talk man to man. For Christ’s sake.

vs. 14: "You are a Jew, yet you have been living like a Gentile, not like a Jew. How then can you try to force Gentiles to live like Jews?" EQ.

“And how the hell, please, once more, is a Jew different from a Gentile.”

“One is the chosen race. The others are to be murdered and raped because the Lord said that’s the way to do it.”

“Which was which.”

“Oh, it doesn’t make a difference. As long as we divide and concur.”

vs. 16: ... For no one is put right with God by doing what the Law requires. EQ.

That is doubly true. On account their ain't no God that we gotta be right with. And law is made by the criminally insane.

vs. 19: ... I am dead - killed by the Law itself... EQ.

That's good for a point.

"What am I at, Jesus Christ."

"Numbers are of no matter. My insane friend."


chapter 03

vs. 1: You foolish Galatians! Who put a spell on you? EQ.

You did, motherkiller. You and you pack of lies about Jesus Christ and God. Giving them a symbol of a man, call him the son of God, and nail him forever to a cross. The curse is yours.

And again, the bloody Abraham nonsense. Some small time sheepherder idiot.

Vs. 8: The scripture predicted that God would put the Gentiles right with himself through faith. And so the scripture announced the Good News to Abraham: “Through you God will bless all mankind.” 9. Abraham believed and was blessed; so all who believe are blessed as he was. EQ.

“What kind of bullshit is this. A Lord came and raped Sarah and told Abraham he’d have millions of descendents. And never mind that Abraham wanted to murder Isaac and burn him as an offering to a God who could never make up his mind what he wanted. Believe what, for Christ’s sake.”

“Believe God always kept his promise.”

“God was forever changing his mind. God was nothing more than the justification for the madness of ignorant paranoid primates. No offence, we all know evolution has been a long hard battle. But fuck me. This is simply insanity. God playing games with Jews and Gentiles. Fucking with them for thousands of years then he decides to erase the madness with having his son nailed to a cross by the race he chose to love so that the race he chose to hate could be saved too.”

vs. 10: Those who depend on obeying the Law live under a curse. EQ.

Anyone who depends on obeying that law doesn’t know where the fuck he or she is.

vs. 13: "Anyone who is hanged on a tree is under God's curse." EQ.

“Oh, well fuck. That makes good sense.”

"Anyone with a bullet in his head is under a curse."

"Anyone with a sword through his skull is under a curse."

"Anyone run over by a train is under a curse."

"Anyone who straps explosives to his body and blows himself up in public is a curse."

"Anyone who makes the 3rd world their slaves is a curse."

"Anyone who rapes the land is a curse."

"Anyone that poisons the home of fish is a curse."

Paul goes on about Abram and Jesus being the only descendent that was blessed. The rest blind fools.

And Jesus wasn’t a descendent of Abraham. And even if he was, so what. Our gene pool is mixed up since we were pre one-celled creatures. Gibberish. How much more Paul must we endure.

And just a reminder. Moses made the Law to keep his ignorant slave hoard in order. The Law of Moses is not relevant. His law was simple. Do as I say or I kill you. From this we have gone to follow the Law of Moses and live. Though it is basically the same it misses the simply dualistic tyranny of the Laws of Moses. He was not a prophet for two good reasons, one, there is no such thing. Two, he didn’t do nothing other than terrorize Egypt then the slaves he took out of Egypt into the desert. And there he was a ruthless tyrant that led his ignorant ill treated slaves into battles so that Lord Moses could lead a life of luxury and raping children. Moses was a real prick. Has anyone read the fucking books of Moses.

vs. 19: What, then, was the purpose of the Law? It was added in order to show what wrongdoing is, and it was meant to last until the coming of Abraham's descendant, to whom the promise was made. EQ.

If anyone is looking for a topic to do their theist on. This is a good one.

The Law of Moses was made by the megalomaniac ruling class. It was meant to last forever. Read it. ‘Forever’ is as common in the Books of Moses as ‘And it came to pass’ in the New Testament.

Did Moses have help. Since he wasn't real, we'll have to say yes. He had writers writing the story. Moses did not write. The writers of the Torah were some of the most educated scholars on the planet at the time. They had an objective. And the objective was to teach the ignorant to be obedient slaves and soldiers. As brutal as this may seem, it is our theater that we continue to play.

The writers were being paid by the state. And the state represents Law. Priests and Lawyers.

But not to be mislead. There is a story within the story. In fact, the story is fairly clear that Moses was a tyrant. That we are ruled by tyrants. There is a not so subtle undertone of sarcasm in the Books of Moses. Some obvious sexual parallels to the point of sounding like a porno story.

The books of religion are not written to be believed. There are too many contradictions to make this possible. They are daring the reader to understand them and we have taken so long that it is getting harder to understand what the hell they were talking about.

Think of Religion as mind training. It throws the reader from one side to the other almost forcing the reader to go off on his or her own tangent.

Just because it is written over and over that you must believe is not reason to believe. Just because someone writes that God said does not mean that God said. It doesn’t even mean there is a God. And think about this. If there really was a one God, would he be a prick. A small-minded fickle murdering, woman-hating prick.

“I don’t think so.”

Vs. 19: … The Law was handed down by angels, with a man acting as a go-between. 20. But a go-between is not needed when only one person is involved; and God is one. EQ.

“What, that sounds like the Mohamed story and he ain’t supposed to be around yet.”

“It sounds like bullshit. But he means Moses. Mohamed was pretty much a copy of Moses.”
