There are many, many obvious facts and signs that point to this (the Christian religion or any religion) being a scam, as well as to the motivation for such, one only has to use his brain for something other than a hat rack. But I must confess it never occurred to me to look at this from this angle. And it obviously required a fair amount of research.

It is obviously courageous of the author, given his background, to be exposing these truths, he’s sure to be tarred and feathered in this brain-washed society.

Like it was said above, this will not be read by the true believers, who prefer to keep their heads in the sand, the brainwashing has been going on for such a long time. But as for me, please keep such articles coming, this is good material.

I prefer the work of the Jesus Seminar. Especially J. D. Crossan and Marcus Borg. Further study would be best referred there.

The link below is a good summation of all the theories and scholars who write about this stuff.

http://www.earlychristianwritings.com/theories.html

Thousands years ago Vedic Rishis (sages) had dreamt of peace, order and co-existence of all the living creatures not only on earth but in whole universe. In times to come king Aggrasain made it to happen in his rule and laid foundation of a prosperous and progressive empire where no one was in sufferings; all the citizens used to help each other. This kingdom was a unique example of spiritual socialism. In the west message of “KINGDOM OF GOD ON EARTH” became strong voice of common man on the advent of Jesus Christ. In a very short period it became an eye-sore of the then emperor when this Message started taking swing as a movement. It became a fear of the emperor. The emperor started thinking that this man has become a threat to his empire and he should not be allowed to remain alive. The Emperor ordered for his crucifixion. Jesus Christ left this world but this message started spreading like wild fire. The institution of Church fixed the day of doom also and proclaimed the reincarnation of Jesus Christ on earth and declared: only that person shall be able to book entry to heaven who is a member of the church. This opened a race for registration as a church member and within a short span church turned into an institution of mammoth wealth and power. Church priest and custodians of Christianity became slaves of comfort and leisure like Indian gurus (spiritual masters) of the present day. On the other front, religious revolution perpetuated in Christian religion, affected polity of the world and started showing impact on social and economic set up. This resulted in many religion battles and different strategies, ethical or non-ethical, were adopted for propagation of imperialism. Slowly and slowly Christian religion spread its wings to such an extent that Sun never set in their empire .Even on date number of followers of Christianity is the highest among all the religions. Hence, before we discuss “Heaven on Earth”, it is important to know the original character of Christian religion, without analyzing the conscience of this religion it would not be possible and fair to know whether laying the foundation of kingdom of God can even be thought of in the prevailing and never ending diversity in religion, politics and human nature. It is important for both believers and non-believers to first understand true form of religion and spiritualism before we proceed further.

Since initial times, some doubts crept into the mind of followers of Christianity which created unusual situation in front of the Church fathers. When Emperor Constantine declared it the religion of the State and appointed the priests to high positions, people started doubting if Jesus Christ was really an angel Of God or he was an ordinary man?

…

If we seek to establish true peace in this world, every one of us shall have to lift himself above the faith in impersonal image of God. Especially in Christian religion, Jesus is worshiped as an individual God, the results of which have not been encouraging. In Islam Allah is not worshiped as an individual but like Christians Islam also maintains supremacy of Koran and Hazrat’s teachings. They categorically reject possibility of any experience or philosophy of God beyond this. Unlimited has been made limited and He is measured with words and wisdom of man, where as to understand God’s divinity human wisdom and knowledge are very limited and equal to nothing. Man can presume God’s stature according to his wisdom only. How he can go beyond the limits of his thinking? How a man having boundaries to his wisdom can make a guess regarding Eternal? It is just impossible.

…

Only that religion can be the religion of God which attracts all of its inhabitants (living or non-living) without any disparity and that is the religion of Love and compassion (Dharam-e-Seena; religion of heart). True love has no limits and boundaries; therefore it can reach the limitless and inaccessible. It never puts the shackles of bondage in the feet of his beloved but always sets him free; hence, it can be the most potent means of delivering the ulterior goal of freedom. No knowledge is required to learn the basics of love as it is the quintessence of each and every atom and creature. Thus, love is the only cosmic religion which is recognized by the whole universe and its inhabitants. It becomes supreme Bliss when we adopt the path self-giving which is the result of true love.

Hence, path of love (self-giving) and the adoration and craving of impersonal God are the key treasures which can lead the humanity in the making of ‘Heaven on Earth’. Without making use of these treasures, the dream will remain a utopia and conjecture.

Lee, from your short bio I can assume that, to use an analogy, you were a heavy smoker for 14 years, did some research and discovered that smoking is a killer and now you’re trying to warn others about the dangers. These are noble intentions, but don’t get too worked up about it. Spending all your time telling people NOT to follow Christ would seem as time-consuming as telling people TO follow him. People can make their own (informed) minds up, just like smoking.

Patrick above (and Gamaliel in the Jewish Sanhedrin) said it best – if it’s a man-made fraud, don’t fight it since it will soon die out (spoken 2000 years ago). And if it’s from God then don’t fight it. Either way, don’t fight it……………..just make sure you’re happy with the result of your individual choice.

Time will reveal the fraud………

This doesn’t sound to me like a reason to base ones “lack-of-faith” on. Wouldn’t it be wiser to go with the testimonies of those around him (like Matthew, Mark and John), as well as the evidence that primarily all of Jesus’ followers died a martyrs death? I suggest that you take an old Jewish sages advice, Gamaliel, as recorded by Luke:

“Then stood there up one in the council, a Pharisee, named Gamaliel, a doctor of the law, had in reputation among all the people, and commanded to put the apostles forth a little space; And said unto them, Ye men of Israel, take heed to yourselves what ye intend to do as touching these men. For before these days rose up Theudas, boasting himself to be somebody; to whom a number of men, about four hundred, joined themselves: who was slain; and all, as many as obeyed him, were scattered, and brought to naught. After this man rose up Judas of Galilee in the days of the taxing, and drew away much people after him: he also perished; and all, even as many as obeyed him, were dispersed. And now I say unto you, Refrain from these men, and let them alone: for if this counsel or this work be of men, it will come to nought: But if it be of God, ye cannot overthrow it; lest haply ye be found even to fight against God.”
(Act 5:34-39)

So, Lee, the Good News is, don’t worry about it; if Jesus of Nazareth is a charlatan (like so many others), it will just come to naught. Also, please heed his warning that you very well be fighting against God.
