In 1987 Reagan stood in front of the Berlin Wall and
challenged his Soviet counterpart, saying General Secretary Gorbachev, if you
seek peace, if you seek prosperity for the Soviet Union….come to this gate! Mr.
Gorbachev, open this gate. Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this wall. The rest, as we
now, is history. 29 months later the forces of Perestroika and Glasnost
(restructuring and transparency) brought the Berlin wall down.
Won’t there be a statesman or an ecclesiastical dignitary to
call the Pope and tell him: dear Pope, take off the veil of darkness you and your predecessors
have put before innocent people like Communism had done to the Soviets. Let
there be transparency in their beliefs. Let each one understand that god-Jesus
is a created myth and that he did not start Christianity. He never claimed to
be the Messiah-a powerful king supposed to redeem Jews of their slavery. Let the billions understand that the redemptory process had not been even thought about by God
(there is no mention of it in the Old Testament): it was something hatched up in
the brain of St. Paul. If God wanted his creation to be happy in this and in the after-life He could have had avoided the simple test he had willed for the first parents.
Instead, He sent the serpent to tempt Eve to eat the fruit of the
forbidden tree and she succumbed to His wily manipulations. God started roasting human souls in eternal fire from that moment and Christians are told He is love! How can he award eternal punishment for a temporary sin?
If God gives heaven to those who earn it only by merit
using their freewill, what does he do with half of all mankind– the children
who died before the age of ten- who could not use their freewill at all? And the psychotic, the feeble-minded and the retarded who cannot even manage
to survive by themselves, let alone choose freely what they do? Further, as per
the latest theories, man hardly enjoys any freedom of choice and hence the whole edifice of Christendom
falls down. Let the billions of people chained by Christianity break open their fetters,
become free and enter the land of inmtellectual freedom, light and truth.
