An #Oxfordshire #village chock-full of #racists, every one of whom will doubtless call themselves #Christians, & attend the local #church every Sunday. Their #hypocrisy is utterly nauseating. I hope their local vicar gives them all a sermon on Leviticus 19:33-34, & similar passages from Scripture. See: https://bible.oremus.org/?ql=327628600.

Stages of the Revelation of the Quran
But verse 6:7 observes (what means): “If We had sent unto you (O Muhammad) a written (message) on parchment, so that they could touch it with their hands, the unbelievers would have been sure to say: “This is nothing but obvious magic.’” [Quran 6:7]https://alborz8.wordpress.com/2026/09/15/stages-of-the-revelation-of-the-quran/

Reminds me of another Bible joke...
They found the oldest Bible Sciptures, even older than the dead sea scrolls.
So naturally, the best Vatican translator is assigned to the task of translating the literal word of god.
Suddenly, there is a loud howl of sorrow and despair from the Vatican library basement, followed by uncontrolled sobbing...
... Once they sedate the distraught translator, he utters in despair...
"Its was CELEBRATE !!!!
NOT CELIBATE !!!!! "

Thank their fucking god that the #Republicans are fighting as hard and as corruptly as they can to ensure the people of the #USA have #dirty #air, dirty #water and a dirty #environment.
And hopefully everyone understands that a vote for any #Republican is a #vote for a #filthy planet, including your little walled off #neighborhood.
#Christians really hate this #planet so fuck them for putting #Trump in office.

Goodbye Jerusalem
Since the dawn of Islam, Jerusalem has been an integral part of its faith. Its air carries the blessed breaths of messengers who chanted the remembrance of God and called for His oneness. Its Al-Aqsa Mosque is the place of the Prophet’s Night Journey, may God bless him and grant him peace. God has blessed its surroundings and multiplied the reward for those who worship in it. How many stories have been told in its path, and how many heroic deeds and stances have been recorded in its courtyards? -
I know from experience here in #Nashville , #Tennessee - the ‘Buckle of the #Bible Belt’ - that the #MAGA personality cult of #DonaldTheDeplorable #Trump has drawn hordes of *fake* #Christians into churches of all denominations. Yes, some more than others.
A new national survey by Wheaton College reveals that this has had the effect of turning #GenZ *away* from organized #religion (different kind of cult?). https://www.tennessean.com/story/news/religion/2026/08/06/gen-z-less-likely-attend-church-trump-christians/91077977007/

My people came from Vilna. I have zero desire to go visit Europe. Its just one giant Jewish graveyard in my mind.
"A rare "antisemitic incident in #Lithuania: A local #blogger and #socialmedia activist was arrested after being filmed spitting at three #Israeli #rabbis visiting #Vilnius and urging others to do the same.
According to #Lithuanian authorities, the suspect, #GintarasLiutkevičius, posted a video on social media showing him approaching the three #Jews, who were wearing traditional religious clothing, spitting toward them and encouraging others to follow his example.
“I heard you love to spit on #Christians ... what if I spit on you?” he is heard saying in the video. “You need to go home. This is not your home. This is Lithuania — go home.”

Sending someone #deaththreats is ever okay. However, I also believe that telling someone that they deserve #god 's wrath and that they will experience #eternal #torture by said god just for existing, I think that is also a kind of death threat. If nothing else it's a form of #dehumanization. But this is just how most #Christians talk to and about the #LGBT community. How can we have productive dialogue when one side believes the other side to be subhuman and wholly worthy of eternal #damnation?

I give you a new commandment: love one another; you must love one another just as I have loved you. It is by your love for one another, that everyone will recognise you as my disciples.
[Ἐντολὴν καινὴν δίδωμι ὑμῖν ἵνα ἀγαπᾶτε ἀλλήλους καθὼς ἠγάπησα ὑμᾶς ἵνα καὶ ὑμεῖς ἀγαπᾶτε ἀλλήλους. ἐν τούτῳ γνώσονται πάντες ὅτι ἐμοὶ μαθηταί ἐστε ἐὰν ἀγάπην ἔχητε ἐν ἀλλήλοις.]The Bible (The New Testament) (AD 1st - 2nd C) Christian sacred scripture

It is remarkable, that notwithstanding the universal favor with which the New Testament is outwardly received, and even the bigotry with which it is defended, there is no hospitality shown to, there is no appreciation of, the order of truth with which it deals. I know of no book that has so few readers. There is none so truly strange, and heretical, and unpopular.
Henry David Thoreau (1817-1862) American philosopher and writer
A Week on the Concord and Marrimack Rivers, “Sunday” (1849)More about this quote: wist.info/thoreau-henry-david/…

Des serviteurs détestent la vérité et préfèrent se prostituer avec de la mystique qui maltraite des fidèles.
Le Fils de l'homme qui est maintenant dans sa gloire leur donne la part des hypocrites. D'une façon ou d'une autre ils l'auront, car sa Parole ne passe pas.
Quant aux démons maltraitants, ces anges du #diable sont directement envoyés dans le feu éternel qui a été préparé pour eux. Parole du Fils qui fait autorité. Cela s'accomplit dès maintenant. -
Spirituality & Religious Studies @spiritualityreligiousstudies.wordpress.com@spiritualityreligiousstudies.wordpress.com ·Samaritanism
Samaritanism is an Abrahamic monotheistic, ethnic religion. It comprises the collective spiritual, cultural, & legal traditions of the Samaritan people.
Often preferring to be called Israelite Samaritans, who originated from the Hebrews & Israelites. They began to emerge as a relatively distinct group after the Kingdom of Israel was conquered by the Neo-Assyrian Empire during the Iron Age. The Neo-Assyrian Empire was the 4th, & penultimate, stage of ancient Assyrian history.
Central to their continuity as an Indigenous Heritage in the Holy Land is keeping the Patriarchal & Mosaic covenant as specified in the Samaritan Torah. Samaritans believe this is the original & unchanged version of the Pentateuch (which is the first 5 books of the Hebrew & Christian bible) since Moses & the Israelites at Mount Sinai.
The Abisha Scroll is traditionally held by the community to be the oldest existing scroll written by Abisha, son of Aaron the priest, around 3,000 years ago based on living tradition. However, Jewish & Christian theologians have made attempts to dispute this claim which proved unsatisfactory.
Judaism claims Samaritanism developed right alongside their own religion. Samaritanism asserts itself as the true preserved form of the monotheistic faith that the Israelites kept under Moses. Samaritan belief also holds that the Israelites’ original holy site was Mount Gerizim, near Nablus, the State of Palestine (West Bank).
They also believe that Jerusalem only attained importance under Israelite dissenters who had followed Eli (In the Book of Samuel, Eli was a priest & judge of the Israelites in the city of Shiloh) to the city of Shiloh.
The Israelites who remained at Mount Gerizim would become the Samaritans in the Kingdom of Judah. Mount Gerizim is revered by Samaritans as the location where the Binding of Isaac occurred. In comparison to the Jewish belief that it occurred at Jerusalem’s Temple Mount.
Today there are only about 900 registered communal members. This puts Samaritanism as 1 of the smallest ethnoreligious groups globally in the Abrahamic faiths. Samaritans believe that this is a prophecy fulfilled from the scriptures: “You’ll be left few in number.”
Though they hope for a future time when a prophet like Moses known as the “Taheb” (Restorer) will perform 3 signs, namely the jar of manna, the staff of Moses, & Cherubim, or the Golden Candlestick.
This time period they believe is when an era of Divine Favor would return, & the hidden tabernacle of Moses would miraculously be revealed for the Israelite people & Mount Gerizim is restored to its former glory.
Samaritans trace their history, as a separate entity, to a period soon after the Israelites’ arrival into the “Promised Land.” Samaritan historiography traces the schism to High Priest Eli leaving Mount Gerizim, where stood the 1st Israelite altar in Canaan, & building a competing altar in nearby Shiloh.
The dissenting group of Israelites who followed Eli to Shiloh would be the ones who, in later years, would head south to settle in Jerusalem (the Jews). Whereas the Israelites who stayed on Mount Gerizim, in Samaria, would become known as the Samaritans.
Genetic studies in 2004 suggest that Samaritans’ lineages trace back to a common ancestor with Jews in the paternally-inherited Jewish high priesthood (Cohanim) temporally near to the period of the Assyrian conquest of the Kingdom of Israel. They’re probably descendants of the historical Israelite population. The Cohanim refers to the Jewish priestly class, male descendants of Aaron the priest.
The Hasmonean king, John Hyrcanus, destroyed the Mount Gerizim Temple & brought Samaria under his control around 120 BCE. This led to a long-lasting sense of mutual hostility between the Jews & Samaritans.
From this point, the Samaritans likely sought to consciously distance themselves from their Judean brethren. Both peoples came to see the Samaritan faith as a religion distinct from Judaism. By the time of Jesus, Samaritans & Jews deeply disparaged one another, as shown by Jesus’ Parable of the Good Samaritan.
The main beliefs of Samaritanism are:
- There’s 1 God, Yahweh, the same God recognized by the Jewish prophets.
- The Torah is the only true holy book & was given by God to Moses. The Torah was created before the creation of the world & whoever believes in it is assured a part in the world to come. The Torah’s status in Samaritanism as the only holy book causes them to reject the Oral Torah, the Talmud, & all the prophets & scriptures, except for a version of the Book of Joshua (which they don’t hold as Scripture), whose book in the Samaritan community is significantly different from the Book of Joshua in the Jewish “Bible.” Moses is considered to be the last of the line of prophets.
- Mount Gerizim, not Jerusalem, is the 1 true sanctuary chosen by God. The Samaritans don’t recognize the sanctity of Jerusalem & don’t recognize the Temple Mount, claiming instead that Mount Gerizim was the place where the Binding of Isaac took place.
- The Apocalypse, called “the day of vengeance,” will be the end of days. When an entity called the Taheb (basically the Jewish Messiah equal) that comes from the tribe of Joseph will come, be a prophet like Moses for 40 years & bring about the return of all the Israelites, following which the dead will be resurrected. The Tahib will then discover the tent of Moses’ Tabernacle on Mount Gerizim, & will be buried next to Joseph when he dies.
The Samaritans have retained the institution of a high priesthood & the practice of slaughtering & eating lambs on Passover Eve. They celebrated Pesach, Shavuot, & Sukkot. But they use a different method from that used in mainstream Judaism in order to determine the dates annually.
For example, Yom Teru’ah (the biblical name for Rosh Hashanah), at the beginning of Tishrei (This is the 1st month of the civil year & the 7th month of the ecclesiastical year in the Hebrew calendar.), isn’t considered a New Year as it is in Rabbinic Judaism.
Their Sabbath is observed weekly by the Samaritan community every week from Friday to Saturday, beginning & ending at sundown. For 24 hours, the families gather together to celebrate the rest day: all electricity with the exception of minimal lighting (kept on the entire day) in the house is disconnected, no work is done, & neither cooking nor driving is allowed.
The time is devoted to worship which consists of 7 prayer services, reading the weekly Torah portion, spending quality time with family, taking meals, rest & sleep, & visiting other members of the community.
Passover is particularly important in the Samaritan community, climaxing with the sacrifice of up to 40 sheep.
The Counting of the Omar remains relatively unchanged. The Counting of the Omar is a ritual in Judaism that consists of a verbal counting of each of the 49 days between the holidays of Passover & Shavuot. However, the week before Shavuot is a unique festival celebrating the continued commitment Samaritanism has maintained since the time of Moses.
During Sukkot, the Sukkah (the temporary hut built for use during Sukkot) is built INSIDE of houses, instead of OUTSIDE like mainstream Judaism. This Samaritan tradition is traced back to the persecution of the Samaritans during the Byzantine Empire.
The roof of the Samaritan Sukkah is decorated with citrus fruits & branches of palm, myrtle, & willow trees. This is in accordance with the Samaritan interpretation of the 4 species designated in the Torah for the holiday. The 4 species are 4 plants (the etrog, lulav, hadass, & aravah) mentioned in the Torah as being relevant to the Jewish holiday of Sukkot.

And the multitude of them that believed were of one heart and of one soul: neither said any of them that ought of the things which he possessed was his own; but they had all things common. […] Neither was there any among them that lacked: for as many as were possessors of lands or houses sold them, and brought the prices of the things that were sold, and laid them down at the apostles’ feet: and distribution was made unto every man according as he had need.
[Τοῦ δὲ πλήθους τῶν πιστευσάντων ἦν καρδία καὶ ψυχὴ μία, καὶ οὐδὲ εἷς τι τῶν ὑπαρχόντων αὐτῷ ἔλεγεν ἴδιον εἶναι ἀλλ᾽ ἦν αὐτοῖς ἅπαντα κοινά. […] οὐδὲ γὰρ ἐνδεής τις ἦν ἐν αὐτοῖς· ὅσοι γὰρ κτήτορες χωρίων ἢ οἰκιῶν ὑπῆρχον, πωλοῦντες ἔφερον τὰς τιμὰς τῶν πιπρασκομένων καὶ ἐτίθουν παρὰ τοὺς πόδας τῶν ἀποστόλων, διεδίδετο δὲ ἑκάστῳ καθότι ἄν τις χρείαν εἶχεν.]The Bible (The New Testament) (AD 1st - 2nd C) Christian sacred scripture

The #Gospel reading for 14 October 2025 is Matthew 10:16-23. The parable of the sheep among wolves is familiar to most #Christians as inspiration for both perseverance & spreading the Good News of #Jesus our great Redeemer. I’ve heard this passage cited as proof that unpopular people (or people who espouse viewpoints that others disagree with) are on God’s side & doing the work/will of the Divine. Perhaps they are. At least, they may be right up to the point where they meet violence, persecution, anger, & hate in kind.
Once they, or we, start hating & hurting others, we can all be pretty sure we are no longer doing God’s work. Nowhere in this verse are we told to meet violence, be it verbal, legal, or physical, with violence. Quite the opposite, in fact. We are told not to worry about what we should say (v. 19) & “if they persecute you in one village, leave there & go to the next.” (v. 23) #DPB #Green #Episcopal #MorningPrayer #Peace

This is happening because #Christians are afraid they are losing #culturalDominance and they want to either #evangelize to #nonChristian #students or drill it into their heads that they are second-class citizens in this country, thereby making it easier for those like #DeSantis to force their #religion on them in other ways.

Everything Wrong With #Revelation14 in the #Bible
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=joWMpk-D4Y4
We've met the #SeaBeast and the #EarthBeast and the #MarkoftheBeast... and somehow, this is all supposed to make us #Christians. It's not working.
So why not try a murder-hungry #Jesus? -
If you have friends that still consider themselves to be #Christians, but are either tormented because they fear they may go to #hell, or are going around trying to convert other people because thery think those people will go to hell, you might want to send them this. And if they ask, "Why was I never taught this in church?", I would answer "that's a really good question, since all preachers that went to a decent #bible college or #seminary should have known all this, yet they continue to preach hell. I wonder what else they know that they aren't telling?"
Warning: If you are an #exchristian this MIGHT be a bit triggering, because the author still is hanging onto his #Christianity at this point, but once you start seeing how you've been lied to in #church ypu start to notice other things as well, and I suspect given enough time that might happen with him.

Even though #Stalin killed more human beings, and his partner #Mao far more yet, the truly shocking thing about #Germans *and* their collaborators was that they were supposedly modern #christians coming from a 'high culture', and yet they either meekly cooperated or knowingly participated in industrialized #genocide — all kindness or compassion entirely eradicated from their minds. By mere propaganda.
Any decent society can not let such crimes happen again. And yet we see seeds of it, fertilized by #propaganda and ignorance.
And corporations *still* collaborate with genocidal regimes. German corporations too! Even the state of #Israel... (now governed by ethnocentric far-right...)
We must reverse this. It has become *normalized* and won't end well for anyone.
