Debunking Dispensationalism

John Nelson Darby and the Rapture

Sooooo...this fellow has a dream about the rapture and is apparently so moved by the dream that he prays about it. The dream was profound since he has never had such a dream and it was so amazing and all that that he just HAD to share it since the dream is a sure sign of the truth of God and Jesus and the Rapture yada-yada, plucka-plucka. Okay. 

I had a dream not that long ago that I was visited by the little grey aliens who insisted on showing me how to 'jump' from universe to universe and dimension to dimension. In the dream I talked to several different versions of myself, my siblings and even my parents. I had never had a dream like that. Ever. 

But, just because I had never before dreamed about such a screwy thing that did not under any circumstance make me think there was some great and grand tidbit of revelation to be found in the imagery of the dream. What is it with people seemingly thinking if it is something they feel is unusual or extraordinary it MUST be some kind of sign from some divine being or other?

What the hell is this happy horseshit?

This guy needs to bring things down a notch or two. Wooo-sawwww! John Nelson Darby is in hell? Yikes. Tell us how you really feel, why don't ya? Shee-it. So much for believers sticking together.

I think that in order to make the Bible work for what Christians believe they really have no choice but to take some of it literally and some of it metaphorically. Hell, even then there are still glaring issues.

Hah!

Hummm...this video mentions a failed dispensationalist prediction of terrible war. You are not surprised, are you?

This man has some very interesting points to ponder in regards to the supposed Second Coming and the rapture of Christ's church.

Get a load of this.

This is great!

Outstanding! Out-freaking-standing!

Miracles of the Children of Israel in Egypt

Letting His People Go

     So, when I was a kid and being dutifully raised to believe the cracker jack of the Bible, one of my favorite stories to hear was the plight of the Children of Israel in the land of Egypt and how the Lord God made all of these really wonderful miracles (for the most part in the form of plagues) in order to free His people.

     What happened with the ten plagues of Egypt? What were the exact plagues visited upon the people of Egypt? And another thing, why does God always seem to lean to the terrible in His efforts to prove to those who do not believe in Him that He is real? You would think He would simply show Himself and get it over with instead of playing tricks and killing things in an effort to show His supposedly awesome power.

      Sure there are miracles in the Bible, many of them the most terrible things ever, but you cannot help but to laugh at the supposed miracles of doom as you listen to Robin Williams describe it all. Soooo funny!    

     Precisely as this man suggests, the many miracles in the Bible that prove (or that are supposed to prove God) are terrible. Why would the great love of the universe try to prove itself by use of terrible miracles? That proves nothing save for the God of the Bible is a thug who loves to torture those who don't care for Him or His truly absurd and terrible policies of so-called judgment.

     So, God wants his people freed and appears to a guy in the for of a burning bush. Why wouldn't God pick something a little more believeable...like appearing as a person? And why doesn't God ever do something for Himself, right? If He wants something done and if He wants something done right why doesn't he do it Himself? Why get people to do all of this shit? And why have so much suffering on order to get what He wants? I'm just saying...

     You can always count on some explanation or other from Hollywood! I love this scene.

     While the Bible generally does not jibe with science and any other of the evidence science provides as to the non-existence of God, anytime the Bible and proponents of the Bible find that science just might be helpful in proving their stories of delusion...well hell...they jump right up and take whatever they can and twist that science they have found in an effort to prove theories of a big, bad, angry God and His actual existence. Then they jump up and down and clap their hands with glee as they shout "I told you so" and point to the existence of God. Whatever.

Three Cheers for the Myth of Creation

Poof! There it is! Poof! There it is!

     Ah, the book of Genesis and the absurdly ridiculous story of Creation. Better than a story of a genie coming out of a lamp and poofing everything into existence, right? To put ourselves into the proper mood for delving into the absurdities of some big bad God putting together the universe, the earth...and pretty much everything else...let us begin with some laughs, why don't we?

This is too fun to not put in this blog. In fact, there are more than just a few versions of this and I have included several of them in this blog.

I love it! God said I need someone not willing to get up before dawn, someone who can mold pop culture, work five hours by Tuesday noon and only another five by Friday...so God made a douche bag. Too freaking funny!

And God said...I need a lender...so God made a banker.

I really like this one. Actually listen to the words that are being said because there is some wisdom to be found there, I think. Overwhelming the world with beauty and wonder...you've got to love it.

So...go to the part where it says that the plants were not in the ground yet because there was not a man to till the ground. So, are they saying that from the very beginning God had planned this amazing wonderful place that he made to be tilled by the man? Doesn't sound very much like some heavenly garden is you are having to do all the freaking work. And why does the Lord God put the tree that man is not supposed to eat of in the garden there WITH the man? Is that some kind of fucked up joke, or what?

Don't you love the argument that this guy tries to use as validation for his belief in the invisible? Just like a building has a designer so does the universe have a designer? Where is your logic in this, buddy? You are going to try to convince people to believe in what you believe by convincing them that this supposedly creative God that made things so precise as chromosomes and DNA and all of these wonderful things will not reveal Himself? If God is eternal and does not have a beginning and an ending then people should be able to see Him with no problem whatsoever. Oh, and just because an Atheist cannot answer where everything came from that does not offer validation for your fairy tale God.

This is quite interesting. I saw this and thought that eventually I will do a blog on how this nation, the United States of America, was not founded by Christians but by Deists. Really interesting stuff to comprehend and digest and once you get into it and see the truth of it you will see why so many climg so fiercely to the false claim that the USA was founded on Christianity.

Listen to the words that this man says and actually consider what he has to say. Try very hard not to let any belief of some big magical God get in the way.


Three Cheers for Noah's Ark

Glug, Glug, Glug: All the Animals of the World on a Boat

     In the Bible in the book of Genesis chapters 6, 7, and 8 the story of Noah and the ark is presented by what is supposed to be the words of God...literally. Now, you must ask how this God/Creator Who is so precise that he creates gravity and thermo-dynamics...well, how in the world can a being who creates things in such a precise manner suddenly become very non-precise in how He does things in the story of Noah's ark? How does this amazingly precise God suddenly forget the size and number of all the animals that He supposedly created as He tries to get this 600 year-old coot, Noah, to gather all of the animals on a puny ark?

So, I like the question presented here in this little cartoon. How does a perfect God create something that is imperfect, and not only that, how does He not seem to know how shit will turn out? You would think that a perfect God would never experience such a thing as regret...such as when he regrets making man.

This cartoon does an excellent job of asking pointed questions about the retarded stroy of Noah's ark. Where did the food for the animals go? Where did the water for the animals go? How did the animals breathe at the high elevation of the ark, considering that the water covered the highest peak (Mount Everest)? How did the animals all get along? What did they do with all the animal poop? How do the animals in the water survive the mixing of salt and fresh water and the change in pressure anr temperature of the water? What do the animals eat after the flood? How do two animals populate the world with their species?

So, God decides He is pissed off with men because they are greedy and evil. God is seriously pissed, and instead of teaching the men how to behave He decided it would be better to drown the lot of men on the earth. This is the story that people repeatedly read and teach their children as truth. Nice. Now the way that people who believe this crap word it you would think it is all possible.

This is simply an outstanding clip put together by Thinking Atheists. They do have some very good points which is pretty much the biggest problem many Christians have with Atheists...the Atheists make sense.
