An example of alteration

In the Middle Ages the Catholic Church did not like anyone practicing magic other than themselves. Christianity is a form of magic in itself. Many of the high level Catholic priests know of secret rituals not generally known to the general public who practice Christianity.

Based on the massive stereotyping and folklore, many people believe witches are these evil people you see in the movies like the wicked witch of the west. What people see portrayed as witches are really black magic practitioners. Most witches practice White Magic. Of coures the Catholic Church didn't want people to know this so that portrayed witches as these evil people who had to be destroyed. After all they could be preying on you, unlike the Catholic Church (har har).

In order to commit mass murder of practitioners of other religions, they had to justify it as a righteous cause, so they changed this clause in the Bible, "thou shalt not suffer a poisoner to live" (Exodus 22:18) to "thou shalt not suffer a witch to live". So they used the name of God in order to commit their crimes. The original word translated into English is poisoner. There is always some "terrorist" the government has to kill to justify that you need its protection and to continue taking in more money.

To be sure that no one knew that the Catholic Church altered the Bible, they went on a crusade to destroy all copies of the Bible other than their own. This worked for a while.

Interesting to note, that this is how our current President rules. He creates a false reason that justifies righteousnous in starting a war. That is the art of misleading the public to start wars.

Are demonic posessions really such or are they psychokinesis from individuals going through emotional problems?

A God

A lot people claim that they believe in the Christian God pointed to in the Christian Bible because they have seen miracles and prayer works. If you remember in college logic class, the presence of A does not mean B exiss. This can be presented graphically as the belief A --> B, if A therefore B. Did you know that people of other religions including Buddhism have seen miracles and have attested to the Power of Prayer. They don't believe in Jesus and it still works. So A --> C, if A therefore C. I've seen people with no religion pray and get miraculous results. So A --> D, if A therefore D.

As you can see proof of A doesn't mean proof of B, C, or D.

Another point is the the teachings of the Bible are a great work. If it didn't come from God, who could be so wise to teach us these great things. So Bible --> B, if Bible then B exists. This is interesting because Plato, Aristotle, and Confucious gave us a lot of wisdom that were later found in the New Testament (Jesus' Teachings) and they existed before the birth of Christ. In fact, many think Aristotle's work is way superior. Was Aristotle really a God? :) Then there are the spirtual texts of Patanjali (Patanjali's Sutras). He existed and wrote down his sutras before the birth of Christ.

Another interesting point is that if you trace the time from the beginning of the Bible, which includes the time of creation of the Earth and Man, to modern day, it is only 5,000-6,000 years ago when God created the Heavens (this includes the Sun) and Earth. However, fossils and human remains have been found on this Earth that dated over 40,000 years ago. And in fact, scientific evidence proves the Sun to be over 4.5 billion years old.

The Catholic Church, claiming to act for God, condemned Galileo for heresy and gave him life imprisonment in his house (house arrest) because he validated Copernicus theory that the Earth rotates around the Sun and not the other way around. Why did God let the Catholic Church send an innocent man to jail? Is the Catholic Church or any church for that matter really in communication with God? If they really talked with God daily, then how come they didn't know?

Emily Rose's Story

Emily Rose. Going to church and believing in Jesus doesn't protect you, obviously. Nor does leading a very religious life. In fact, most of these things tend to happen to people who are very religious.

Watch a real exorcism here. It certanly not as dramatic as in the movies.

LA Times article.

The Exorcist

Glimpses of the Devil : A Psychiatrist's Personal Accounts of Possession, Exorcism, and Redemption.

Even the Pope can't beat the devil.

This book written by a Catholic Pries claims that Possession is caused by leading a sinful life. Of course he would claim that to sell his religion. Facts state otherwise. It generally falls upon two kinds of people. Those who practice black magic and those who are very religious. For instance, Maricica Irina Cornici, a 23 year old nun, was found dead crucified to a wall in her convent room as part of the exorcism ritual done by the priest and other nuns. Times Online. And of course Emily Rose, a very religious Catholic family.

Notice that this does not affect people who are passed the intermediate level in White Magic.

Of course, there are the doubters. But if you believe in the Bible, then you know that the Devil and his fallen angels are mentioned there.

So take your pick. What is the most useful thought system to believe in?

America existed fine for decades without taxing its citizens

At one time we existed fine without income taxation. It makes you wonder what they do will all that money they collect. Is it lost in the IRS administration and disappearing into unknown accounts? Is it being funded into buy hardware from Department of Defense contractors where a hammer costs $759 and 2 million were ordered? Is it going into unknown "expense accounts"? Is it going into various special programs where the net result is about $10 worth of service and the program costs $2 million?

How to Stop Paying Taxes Legally

NY Times article.

I know the Scientology organization doesn't get taxed due to a secret deal made between them and the IRS. Scientology agreed to drop their 45-115 lawsuits against the IRS and the IRS promised not to tax them again.

Bush's Eavedropping Order After Sept. 11 Led F.B.I. to Dead Ends

NY Times article.

Excerpt:
The law enforcement and counterterrorism officials said the program had uncovered no active Qaeda networks inside the United States planning attacks. "There were no imminent plots - not inside the United States," the former F.B.I. official said.

"It affected the F.B.I. in the sense that they had to devote so many resources to tracking every single one of these leads, and, in my experience, they were all dry leads," the former senior prosecutor said.

Yet Bush claims it is working. Is it working for him personally because he because it allows him to blackmail politicians into going his way or else they would be prosecuted?

Movie: State of Fear

Movie.

New this week. This movie looks interesting based on the review, as I haven't seen it. It's about a country that gives its President too much power so that he can protect them from "evil terrorists".

The ultimate effects of Bush's unlimited spying program

Wall Street Journal.

Seems like he has this program so he can blackmail congressmen to do his bidding whether they like it or not. Can Bush use this program to prevent key people from even running for office?
