PROBLEMS WITH RELIGIONS

The evangelical group known as 'The Family', aka The Fellowship, was founded by Abraham Vereide, a Norwegian evangelist based in Seattle in the USA.

In 1935, Vereide said that God had appeared to him in a vision and revealed that Christianity had gone wrong because of its preoccupation with the poor, the weak and the suffering.

The Family, whose members include top US senators and congressmen, 'promotes Fascism and Zionism'.

Abraham Vereide began the Prayer Breakfast Movement.

We assume that Vereide, like Billy Graham, was recruited by the CIA.



Dr. T. P. Wilkinson writes that religious fanaticism is essentially a European and Anglo-American tradition.

Religious Fanaticism is a Western Tradition.

The Western Imperialists have promoted extremist forms of Islam and Christianity.

"The British and US oil cartel installed the house of Saud to rule the populations wandering about the massive oil fields."

Religious Fanaticism is a Western Tradition.

"The US oil dynasties, e.g. Rockefeller, Pew, Mellon, have spent billions funding reactionary Protestant missionaries throughout the world whose job it has been to depopulate areas for Christ  so as to seize land and mineral rights...

"Various Pentacostalists were notorious supporters of military dictatorships in Brazil, Chile, Guatemala, and elsewhere - not only preaching but collaborating with the secret police..."

Religious Fanaticism is a Western Tradition.



God is not a fundamentalist.

The Greek philosopher Epicurus argued:

If an all powerful (omnipotent), all knowing (omniscient), and all loving (omnibenevolent) god exists, then evil does not exist.

But, there is evil in the world.

Therefore, an omnipotent, omniscient, and omnibenevolent God does not exist.

Perhaps God can be seen as being a 'holy spirit' that is not omnipotent.

The eastern religions have their own way of looking at the problem.

The Taoist concept of yin-yang suggests that 'good' cannot exist without 'evil'.

Hinduism and Buddhism (and Christian Science) suggest that by applying mind over matter, suffering can disappear.
