This Problem Will Never Be Solved

(6)

This brings us to the idea of beginnings. Bible Believers believe the Myth of Gesisis, which is related in the VOOT, the Very Old and Odius Testament. Those folks think that the world was created about six thousand years ago. They think that Adam and Eve sinned such that all their progeny were doomed to burn in Hell forever due to the 'Wrath of God' unless God could come up with an alternative idea: Salvation. Salvation was a Startling Idea! A Glorious Idea!

God came up with the idea of a 'scapegoat' which was an old Jewish Idea intended to please the Jewish God. The Old and Odius Jewish God created Jesus. Jesus was the Son of God, whose destiny was to become a scapegoat whose eventual destiny was pleasing to God.

We get the impression that God is an Emotional Being who revels in the concept of revenge. This idea is a kind of summation of the VOOT. We teach this dubious idea to our children. Our teachings become the fundamental emotional basis of their lives, such that they find it very difficult to contemplate ideas which fundamentally conflict with stupid old Jewish ideas.

This is an Existential Problem. This problem will never be solved.
