Here in the Bible Belt of Oklahoma, US, I'm surrounded by "Christians" and yet none of them seem to understand the root of their words and how it affects their beliefs.
I recently discovered this site: http://www.illuminati-news.com/origin-of-christianity.htm which is one of many like it, explaining many things, but it was well written and I appreciated the way in which the content was presented.
It's pretty disturbing really. If you click on the link above you'll find that in this current day "Christians" are pagans. That's pretty rough!! But allow me to explain in case you haven't clicked the link above.
Jesus is the English word for the Messiah. Or is it? The Greek word for Jesus is Iesous, pronounced Ye-Zeus I believe. Zeus?! Yes you read me right, according to this site and hundreds of others trying to get the information out to the masses, Jesus is literally translated as "Hail Zeus" !!!!!!!!! Okay, so enough crazy exclamations, but seriously people, what in the world?!
So here for the past, umpteenth years "Christians" have been subversively worshiping Zeus! How did this happen?! Well in the days of the early church the goal was to assimilate as many pagans as possible. Zeus was the chief deity of Greece and Zeus was the prime deity of worship. Giving the Messiah a name that contained Zeus in it, made it easier for them to associate their current system of worship to the new system, though obviously the change wasn't really that big. Pagans remained pagans, under the new guise called "Christianity" except now they had all sorts of convoluted rules and ideologies. Not to say that I'm opposed to some of them, like "Thou shalt not kill" etc.. but the more modern "rules" of established denominations that say "Do not drink alcohol for this is sinful, because alcohol leads to drunkenness and drunkenness is a sin" WTF people? Anyways, back on track.
According to this site and many others, the true name of the Messiah is Jahshuwah (Yahshuwah) and his father is Yahweh. Ever wonder what Hallelujah meant? It means Praise Jah! which Jah is the shortened name of Jahweh (Yahweh) obviously. The J and Y seem interchangeable and the letter J has only been around for like 400 years or so apparently.
Oh, and the word "Christ" isn't the term that Jahshuwah was called. Christ is a derivative of Krisna, a savior type person from the East. What have we been doing all this time? It's like worshiping two gods at one time and not one of them is the right one. So what is left after all this?
It's for you to decide how to take this, but the article linked above explains everything in a much clearer way than I probably did.
However, I do feel better now having decided to not want to be a "Christian" since evidently that means that I'd be a worshiper of Greco-Asian deity culminations! :)
which may not necessarily be a bad thing, except it's under a false pretense and entirely not what we think that it is. So.. that's it for now.

Conflicted
Today I’m going to talk about something of a spiritual nature, but not religious (unless you take it that way, but that is unintended really). There are elements in this world, this existence that we do not fully understand. However, that does not mean they are not real, they do not exist, nor does it mean they should not be taken seriously. So I’m going to address something that I’ve come to question about the nature of our souls, the spiritual essence that gives our bodies life.
What if our soul, our spiritual form, is not the mirror image of our physical self? By that I meant what if our soul isn’t a humans soul but anothers? I think for most people that I’ve met (meaning 98% of people I’ve met) do indeed have human souls, but what about those people that seem different. They struggle against life because this world is not theirs, they try to adapt to it, but no matter what they do they still can’t find a way to fit in? I have come to believe I am one of those people.
These are the people who have a special spark about them. You can’t quite figure it out, but there is something remarkable about these people. They may not have done anything out of the ordinary or even appear unordinary, but if you have any sort of sensitivity to these things, you can tell there is something different about them.
I’ve been thinking about what grandmother said about me when I was born. She said “This one is different” the first time she held me. She passed away when I was in the seventh grade, and it’s frustrating to me now that I cannot ask her what she meant when she said that. If she knew something, or if she just felt I had that spark.
Another thing about these non-human souls is that they go against the grain, even if it’s a grain of their own making, they typically want nothing to do with the ongoings of the human world. By human world I mean the things that most people find important or interesting or how they feel about the opposite of those.
If you are not following me up to this point, then this honestly isn’t a matter that I can help you comprehend without you just suspending all disbelief for a few moments in order to get your head around this idea.
Take me for instance:
I’ve ALWAYS, my entire life, had a fascination with magic, faeries, monsters, and the supernatural. When I was a child I could see them. I would draw them. I would talk to them. I remember at night when I went to sleep I would see this little creature peeking in at me from my bedroom door. My sister’s room was adjacent to mine and, unthreatened by this creature, I used to think “I wonder if my sister can see his feet.”
Supposing my theory is true up to this point, you can see how we may think differently. These people are not concerned with money, they are not consumed by anything of this world… in fact if they are consumed with anything it’s that which they will likely never have in this world.
I don’t express too much emotion, because they are difficult to control, but I cry when I see unicorns in movies, I cry when there are things that I see in film that I have never known in my life but I know that I know that I know them. I miss them, as if they are a part of my life, or were at least.
I feel like there is this unbridled power within me, but I cannot tap it, I cannot reach it no matter how hard I try. What hell is this that all the things I know should work simply don’t.
This is this world for the humans without human souls. So, why would there be humans with non-human souls?
Honestly, I cannot fathom WHY if I had any sense at all I would want to come here and surrender everything that is important to me, but then again perhaps that is the ultimate test. A human is used to not having magic or anything supernatural, they are used to things the way they are here. For those of us without that, this world is even harder. We gave up so much more to come here and learn. The genius of this world lies mostly in those who aren’t even human. We are the ones who don’t accept no as an answer. We KNOW there is something more and even if it makes no sense to us we will pursue it until we understand. So perhaps we came here to help… we just don’t know how we are supposed to do it. I know that my purpose is “To Improve” but finding ways to do that can be incredibly difficult.

To Start Things Off
In my youth I blindly accepted anything taught to me and believed whatever I was told to believe. When I opened my eyes I was astonished at all the contradicting beliefs I had in my head and decided it was time to sort them out.
Christianity is all around me, and most if not all of my friends are Christian, though I now struggle with it. There are so many things that Christians practice that I don’t agree with, I don’t believe are right, and I don’t partake in at all. Mostly because I feel that almost all Christians were as I once was.. they see a box that says Christian Beliefs, and they try to fit whatever they can into the box… but if it doesn’t fit then it’s demonic, satanic, and must be avoided at all costs and/or destroyed!
I have been doing a lot of searching lately and I cringe everytime I hear something blamed on Satan or “The Enemy” or whatever other term people may use to describe this devil who wants to kill, steal, and destroy. I decided to look further into the history of Satan, more specifically the Jewish outlook, since Christianity somewhat stemmed from that religion.
The Jews do not believe that Satan is a fallen angel. They believe he is an agent of God, THE angel who tests humans on God’s behalf, doing God’s will as all angels do. Thus, they do not believe that he is evil, or that he works against the will of God. He is, in a way, against us, but that is his job. He doesn’t do it out of spite, or malice, or hatred of humans. He does it because that is what his Lord commands of him.
So, taking the above paragraph into account I’d like to establish a couple things:
God does not have oversight. What he creates he creates perfectly as he intended it to be. We are sinners because God intended us to be sinners. If we were perfect then there would be no reason to exist as we do here.
God’s will be done no matter what. He’s the most powerful being in existence. He CREATED existence! So if our measly will is in opposition to His, then ours shall fail and His will undoubtedly succeed.
So taking everything into account now, the Jewish view of Satan makes so much more sense to me. Satan could not be a fallen angel because that would mean he was defective and God does not create things that are defective, unless he wills them to be so. The Bible can say whatever it wants about the evil of Satan and demons and whatnot, but when God created this world he created a tree. A tree that contained the knowledge of good and EVIL. Thus if evil had not existed prior to this point, it existed now. God created good and evil, and he governs both. He governs everything, so why do Christians have a problem understanding this?
When I hear my friends tell me that something is demonic, I look at them and wonder if they know that such is demonic or if that’s just what they’ve been taught to believe. When we look back into the mythology of cultures around the world, there is almost ALWAYS at least one adversary. The Norse mythology it’s Loki. In Egyptian mythology it’s Set and a few others. Greek mythology has more well-rounded deities but Ares and Hades took a lot of flack. People need someone else to blame for their problems, and they blame whatever is most convenient to blame according to their beliefs. Satan may be to blame. But if he is carrying out the will of God, then he is just a messenger really. So then you are blaming God for your problems, but if this is true then you are simply nieve and ignorant. Yes, I said that, and I’ll explain.
If you are one of those people who blame God (or Satan) for when things go wrong, then you do not understand why we are here in the first place. You do not understand that we are not here to have a breezy, carefree life.. because one gains no wisdom from nothingness. It’s when we are challenged, put under stress, made to do things that are hard that we gain wisdom. We are here to learn, to grow, and to be tested. We can hate our tester all we want, but that does not sway him from his duty.
If you don’t like what I’ve said, read it again before you comment, but I do want to hear what you have to say as long as it’s constructive.
FYI: I am no longer a Christian, at least not in the way we are taught by the church. I believe in God, perhaps even the divinity of Jesus Christ (still working on that) and I have great respect for the lessons taught in the Bible. But the way the system works right now disgusts me. It’s almost as corrupt as the government. So I have severed that link and I have turned to a direct relationship with God rather than using the church as a middle man. You CAN learn a lot of good things in church, but I cannot agree with many of it’s teachings (Satan, Hell, Demons, Condemnation of Non-Christians) because I KNOW that my God did not mess up and have to create a place to dump that mess. I know that my God would not condemn a man who saw how the church overall behaved and turned away but still strived to live as righteously as possible. My God is merciful, compassionate, and loving… he could not bear to toss even one of his creations into a fiery pit forever and watch them suffer like that. He is all-seeing, all-knowing, all-powerful and the fact that he doesn’t coming booming down from the heavens shows us his wisdom as a parent, as a teacher, as a friend. He wants us to learn, and it may be painful for us, but to close let me put it this way. You can tell a child “Don’t touch that, it’s hot” but they won’t get it until they burn their fingers.
Here’s a site that gives a little more explanation than I did about Judaism’s view of Satan:
