88% Normal

Christians whine all the time about how great Jesus supposedly was, they kiss his ass on virtually every occasion. I just don't see it though. I've read the "Holy" Bible pretty good and to me Jesus seems HORRIBLY overrated. I mean, the nice things he said and did are virtually always emphasized, BUT he also said and did a SHITLOAD of idiotic and immoral things, that are VERY often swept under the rug. On the rare occasions these things ARE actually addressed, Christians tend to use all kinds of excuses and bend over backwards to justify the injustifiable. Here are a FEW examples:

1. He told his followers to hate their families.
"If any man come to me, and hate not his father, and mother, and wife, and children,and brethren, and sisters, yea, and his own life also, he cannot be my disciple." - Luke 14:26.

2. He insisted that his followers love him more than anyone else (including their families).
"He that loveth father or mother more than me is not worthy of me: and he that loveth son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me." - Matthew 10:37.

3. He was dismissive of other people's feelings toward their families.
"And another of his disciples said unto him, Lord, suffer me first to go and bury my father. But Jesus said unto him, Follow me; and let the dead bury their dead." - Matthew 8:21-22, Luke 9:59-62.

4. He encouraged his followers to mutilate themselves to avoid hell.
"And if thy hand offend thee, cut it off ... And if thy foot offend thee, cut it off ... And if thine eye offend thee, pluck it out: it is better for thee to enter into the kingdom of God with one eye, than having two eyes to be cast into hell fire: Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched." - Mark 9:43-48.

5. He encouraged men to castrate themselves.
"There are some eunuchs, which were so born from their mother's womb: and there are some eunuchs, which were made eunuchs of men: and there be eunuchs, which have made themselves eunuchs for the kingdom of heaven's sake. He that is able to receive it, let him receive it." - Matthew 19:12.

6. He implied that all Jews are going to hell.
"But the children of the kingdom shall be cast out into outer darkness: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth." - Matthew 8:12.

7. He was a false prophet.
"Verily I say unto you, Ye shall not have gone over the cities of Israel, till the Son of man be come." - Matthew 10:23.

8. He was a warmonger.
"ink not that I am come to send peace on earth: I came not to send peace, but a sword." - Matthew 10:34, Luke 12:51-53.

9. He spoke in parables to confuse people so he could send them to hell.
"And he said unto them, Unto you it is given to know the mystery of the kingdom of God: but unto them that are without, all these things are done in parables: That seeing they may see, and not perceive; and hearing they may hear, and not understand; lest at any time they should be converted, and their sins should be forgiven them." - Mark 4:11, Matthew 13:10-15.

10. He believed in a God (himself?) who had his enemies slaughtered in front of him.
"But those mine enemies, which would not that I should reign over them, bring hither, and slay them before me." - Luke 19:27.

11. He was a bit of a racist.
"The woman was a Greek, a Syrophenician by nation; and she besought him that he would cast forth the devil out of her daughter. But Jesus said unto her, Let the children first be filled: for it is not meet to take the children's bread, and to cast it unto the dogs." - Mark 7:26-27, Matthew 15:22-26.

12. He got kind of gross sometimes.
"He spat on the ground, and made clay of the spittle, and he anointed the eyes of the blind man with the clay." - John 9:6.

13. He threatens to kill children (with death).
"I will kill her children with death." - Revelation 2:23.

14. He lied about prayer.
"Whatsoever ye shall ask in my name, that will I do." - John 14:13-14, 15:7, 15:16, 16:23.

15. He said some stupid things.
"All things are possible to him that believeth." - Mark 9:23.

"Behold, I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt you." - Luke 10:19.

"He that loveth his life shall lose it; and he that hateth his life in this world shall keep it unto life eternal." - John 12:25.

16. He said that everyone who lived before him was a thief and a robber.
"All that ever came before me are thieves and robbers." - John 10:8.

17. His neighbors rejected him.
"Is not this Jesus, the son of Joseph, whose father and mother we know? how is it then that he saith, I came down from heaven?" - John 6:42.

18. Many that saw him up close and personal thought he was mad and possessed by a devil.
"Many of them said, He hath a devil, and is mad; why hear ye him?" - John 10:20.

19. His family didn't believe in him.
"For neither did his brethren believe in him." - John 7:5.

20. His friends thought he was insane.
"And when his friends heard of it, they went out to lay hold on him: for they said, He is beside himself." - Mark 3:21.

21. He said that disbelievers will be tormented forever in hell.
"He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned." - Mark 16:16.

So, it seems this fuck indeed is quite overrated. Too bad Christians don't realize this. At least Jesus himself realized he was wrong in the end. I think Robert Ingersoll said it best: "At last, in the dusk of death, Christ, finding that he was mistaken, cried out: "My God, my God! why hast Thou forsaken me?"
