Why I am afraid of Christians
Real, run of the mill, pew-filling Christians are the ones with goodness in their hearts, that could rally and save humanity, but they are spell bound. They are proud of it, in fact. They joyously spread “The Gospel” - literally “God Spell.” The “God Spell” is a specific occult style spell, and they are spreading it, happily, with joy in their heart. It reminds me very much of the way Bush spreads Democracy. They ignore the fact that the people who are enraptured by this spell have engaged in war since Christ was a a child, they ignore that the man they claim as savior told them not to make religions, they ignore that the men casting the God Spell are often shown to be pedophiles, and the mounting evidence that those at the very top are engaged in organ harvesting, human trafficking, and all manner of vile deed.
The God Spell is complete with its own mobius-strip logic, making it nearly impossible to free the enthralled. Their Holy Book warns them against anyone who speaks ill of their Holy Book, and so they will turn away from all reason and logic and feel pious for remaining dutifully, sanctimoniously and willfully ignorant. This “holy” book is supposed to be unchangeable, and yet the bookstores will offer you dozens upon dozens of versions. It debunks itself, there it is, in various forms. At best, it can claim it ought not be changed, but it gets changed anyway. Then we must decide which one is the holy one. The average Christian will tout the King James version, which again... was it God or King James who made it holy and unchangeable? Because if not James, then he changed it from the prior version. And it turns out, the Dead Sea Scrolls have been around a LONG time, and kept hidden as long as possible. Are those now less reliable than the King James version?
For the effort of using reason, I am called anything from “lost” to “evil.” “Faithful” is what the average Christian endeavors to be, and one who is full of faith has no room left for truth. There is a time to accept that a thing cannot be known, but rarely must one rely on faith to know what is true, or what action is the RIGHT thing to do.
People tend to rely on faith when they feel helpless, they “have faith” that God is in control. OK, I DO agree that the great machinations of the Universe are in the hands of something much greater than I. So what are you folks praying about? I think “Thy will be done” covers it all pretty well – it is truth at least. The occasional "Thank you" shows nice humility (if done quietly, in private,) but "Thy will be done" whether we thank "thy" or not.
It is no real big deal to me, to each his own, except now the Luciferians are about to take over the world. Hehehe, yeah, it sounds funny, doesn't it? Well, it is not. I don't know if “Lucifer” is real, I don't need to know. Luciferians are as real as it gets, and they are in positions of power in every major government, charity, corporation, school and CHURCH. Do your research, these people were in power long before governments, charities, corporations or schools existed. Where was the first power center?
Why do you people scare me? Because you believe leaning on Jesus makes you stronger. It does not, it makes you vulnerable to 1. A holographic Armageddon 2. A charismatic preacher 3. Becoming TOTALLY docile if you can be convinced Jesus wants it 4. Insisting on peace in dealing with the Luciferians “because it is what Jesus would do” while they send your children to murder Afghani and Iraqi children for entertainment. Face it, it is how they get off. They can have all the oil they want, they alreayd own the money printing presses. All they get out of us is entertainment. You are STILL being fed to their lie-ins. 5. Having them kick your crutch out from under you when you least can withstand it, because THEY built the crutch.
I believe the Creator put the knowledge of right and wrong in your heart. I believe you are being irresponsible to foist responsibility for your sins onto Jesus. I believe you are being led like sheep to the slaughter, and that the butchers laugh heartily each holiday season as you sing praises to the shephard THEY created.
I suspect Jesus was real and a rebel who caused the bankers an enormous amount of grief, so they made a mockery of all he did, in the same way Jefferson's head adorns our fiat currency. Truly, if you face it, most of the rituals of Christianity are as pagan as it gets. You are helping them with their spells, and feel righteous for your efforts. You scare me because you are the best bet in this battle and you are choking. Research your church like it was a false flag attack, please. Throw “faith” to the bottom of your bag of tricks, embrace TRUTH. Not like a religion; but like a journey, a mission, a rare jewel.
Will you always know the truth? Of course not. Then you must be humble enough to admit ignorance, not take some comforting “faith” and use it as blinders to any truth that may come your way.
I wish I could put what is in my head and heart through my fingers. You people ARE the good guys, you have awakened to so many of the lies... just not the one that mattered. YOU are the hand of the Creator, YOU will die, whether for your sins or your righteousness remains to be seen, but YOU have control over how you spend your time. YOU are the second coming, only you are sleeping right through your cues. You are under the God Spell. Please, please, wake up.
UPDATE: Thanks to all who commented, especially thanks to Fedor and Devon. I try to reply to folks when I post something, this got a bit out of hand, so I am not going to respond to any more comments. I am delighted this got people thinking and talking, but it is NOT my desire to keep this endlessly going.
Many folks are missing the point the the God Spell is a specific spell. You will be told the word means "good news." You get told a lot of things, folks... Look at it for yourself. It is old ENGLISH - not hard to translate that, now, is it? From "god" and "spel." Next, they will tell you that means "good" and "story." Really? I wonder what the Old English words for "god" and "spell" might have been?
Now, bear in mind that "spells' were OK back in the day, it was part of the healthcare plan. The pagans would have been OK with a spell, indeed if those Christians were into spellcasting, maybe they weren't so bad...? OK I am obviously speculating now, but I will tell you that modern pagans laugh at Christians and all the pagan rituals they perform. (And no, I am not a pagan either.)
The one question I got asked that hit home was "What would I have Christians do?" I guess in a nutshell, it would be to stop allowing ANY human between you and your Creator.

I always look to the life of Joseph in the bible. He was sold into slavery by his brothers who had nothing but malice in their hearts. But had it not been for their actions how else would Joseph, a Jew, become the prime minister of Egypt?
The bible takes a regular beating on the Daily Paul as a book of "mythology" or a "tool of the NWO" but in fact it's the consumate playbook for what so many here believe is our battle mission.
Here's an excerpt from another post titled, "Are You Encouraged by the Imminent Collapse of the Dollar?"
http://www.dailypaul.com/...
Consequently many of us struggle in a state of angst over the coming fall of the empire.
This paragraph describes to a T the experience of Joseph;
"I am going to enjoy looking for job, and sharing my resume of results with employers of a like mind; who will be not only in a position to pay me in 'sound money', but will also be happy to land an honest, trustworthy, and productive American who woke up to the obvious!"
Attacking
and accusing Paul4won of being anti Christian or anti religious, like many members did here, did nothing to elevate her FEAR of Christians.
And choosing to disregard...

Well if you only feared God then you would not fear us!
He who does not know scripture is a FOOL!
Nicely done,
However I must say the title should have been Religions scare me. Crafty yarns spun to control entire populations.
Let me tell you why I am afraid of Athiests
Lenin, Hitler, Stalin, Mao, Castro, Pol Pot.
All saw humans as inventory, expendable to be used or disposed to create the perfect Utopian.
They were threaten by religion, which they saw as competition to their cult of personality as they made gods of themselves, and wrote their own humanist scriptures like Mao's little Red Book.
Can you show me any society or nation of atheists that have not sent their own people en-mass to gulags, or exterminated them, that were morally superior to admittedly flawed Christian ones?
Finally, your biggest flaw in your argument is that you try to understand Christ in solely logical terms instead of spiritual.
Call it enlightenment, mediation, revelation, nirvana, but in any case man has a spiritual nature that seeks the divine outside of his mortal senses. This spiritual nature of man cannot be attributed to genetic nature or nurture--If it was, so-called Darwin evolution that other promote would have weeded it out eons ago as totally unnecessary for our survival as a species, just as much as evolution should have eliminated all expression in music, dance, and other arts where man longs for things outside this dreary mortal experience. Such devotion to art would be laughably useless in the brutal genetic race for the survival of the fittest that evolutionist promote.
So just because your mortal mind cannot comprehend such divine things, does not give you the hubris to judge others who have experienced the divine with their spiritual senses--senses that even lay dormant within you, waiting to be used to search for truth beyond this world.

Hitler was not an Atheist,
Hitler was not an Atheist, read his writings. You christians are a joke. Unintelligent, hypocritical, bigoted, and hateful. Just because your mortal mind cannot comprehend simple existence, does not give you the hubris(good one) to judge others who don't subscribe to supernatural mysticism. Talk about evil, the bible is nothing but.
Kill those who are not Christian or Jewish:
You must kill those who worship another god. Exodus 22:20
Kill any friends or family that worship a god that is different than your own. Deuteronomy 13:6-10
Kill all the inhabitants of any city where you find people that worship differently than you. Deuteronomy 13:12-16
Kill everyone who has religious views that are different than your own. Deuteronomy 17:2-7
Kill anyone who refuses to listen to a priest. Deuteronomy 17:12-13
Kill any false prophets. Deuteronomy 18:20
Any city that doesn’t receive the followers of Jesus will be destroyed in a manner even more savage than that of Sodom and Gomorrah. Mark 6:11
Jude reminds us that God destroys those who don’t believe in him. Jude 5
Ignorance is bliss. Christians should not practice free inquiry nor socialize with non Christians:
Don’t associate with non-Christians. Don’t receive them into your house or even exchange greeting with them. 2 John 1:10
Shun those who disagree with your religious views. Romans 16:17
Paul, knowing that their faith would crumble if subjected to free and critical inquiry, tells his followers to avoid philosophy. Colossians 2:8
Judge other religions for not following Christ:
Whoever denies “that Jesus is the Christ” is a liar and an anti-Christ. 1 John 2:22
Christians are “of God;” everyone else is wicked. 1 John 5:19
The non-Christian is “a deceiver and an anti-Christ” 2 John 1:7
Anyone who doesn’t share Paul’s beliefs has “an evil heart.” Hebrews 3:12
False Jews are members of “the synagogue of Satan.” Revelations 2:9, 3:9

why are you afraid of anyone?

because this
group is very powerful and could use that power to change things for the better or worse.
Sure, but every group (even of one) has...
unlimited potential power. For instance, just look at the change Ron Paul has made by running for president. Look at the influence his small band of followers have made. Is that based on his previous years of kinetic activity, or simply a result of this single presidential run? Or is it because of both or neither? So, is potential or kinetic energy more important in facilitating change? And what does fear do to one's potential to influence change in any given situation. Also, what does fear do to kinetic power? I'd speculate that it dissipates and scatters it into useless bits that fizzle out like sparks from a fire.

OK. This poster fears Christians. Pretty simple. I assume she doesn't mean all Christians. She does a pretty good job describing the type of Christian she fears. The topic is pretty clear. She has some legitimate concerns and they are worth taking a look at. No big deal.
So I used my influence to change the focus...
of the thread...why be afraid of ANY group? You used the word "concerns", the thread maker used the word "fear". I asked why fear anyone? What does fear do - it ceases imagination, it binds gumption and it pressures thought into "frustration". So, why fear? Why offer your potential to destruction before you can use it? Simple question.

The poster
has a right to fear the actions of a group. This specific group of Christians and the way they process their beliefs, scares her. She has every right to want to explore this specific topic. If it bothers some Christians, they need to leave the thread. They have no right to disrupt this poster's legitimate concerns. Claiming she is attacking ALL Christians is bullshit and an attempt to censor this website. It is pathetic.
Sure she has rights...
we ALL have rights. She is scared of a ligitimate threat and I'm asking why be scared of any threat at all. How do you overcome fear? You overcome fear through action. And, I'm promoting deliberated action, not just pointless chicken without a head action (which I've never acused the poster of doing - by the way). I'm encouraging the poster to act against these fears and not let them (the fears) hold her under their thumb. Now, am I censoring by questing, by encouraging, but approaching these "fears" from another direction? Do I seem bothered by anything other than the typical human reaction of freezing when fearful? Have I attacked the thread concerning anything to do with Christianity?
There sure is bullsh!t going on here, but I'm not causing it.

Christianity is not a religion.
Being Christian means to be Christ-like. Those you described are not Christ-like, so you are not talking about Christians here, despite what they call themselves. However, I do agree with you that those you describe need to be "freed". Genuine Christians, however, need to be freed of nothing. The "God-spellers" you mention are what many others, true Christians included, would refer to as "holy rollers" - misinterpreting the message and taking things to extremes, which is an occurrence in every religion. This is not always accidental or byproduct. The Luciferians you mention and correctly identify as having infiltrated the churches intentionally foster such things.
One of the main goals of those who practice Luciferian religion is to destroy, not just Christianity (real Christianity), but all other religions. They do this by various means of distorting religion to the point that its credibility is largely lost, and the distortions are projected upon the entire congregation of practitioners by people such as yourself. They do it by fostering many slightly-different variations of the pure religions, and by publishing dozens of versions of the bible. Each variation is intentionally made subtly-contradicting to another, and intentionally confusing as to which versions are true. Interestingly, though, a great many versions of the bible have the same message when used in conjunction with the lexicons from which they were translated. The people you mention, who have helped one one another (brothers in what they believe to be the "divine" family) into key seats and positions of control over the areas you mentioned, work very subtly and intelligently to lead some religious groups astray and to give other non-religious groups the perception that you have of the former.
With that said, you are right to be afraid of the "God Spellers," but highly inaccurate to insinuate that they and all Christians are one in the same, and paranoid to so grossly overgeneralize, making no intelligent distinction. The way you've directly-equated "God-spellers" to all Christians is not very much at all unlike the way the news media portrayed a few outlandish/overzealous Ron Paul supporters to be the entire Ron Paul support base during the election campaign. Your post is not very much unlike the way the associates of warmongers, who control the news media, portray acts of violence done in the name of Islam as common to all Muslims. In fact, the way you've overgeneralized here is eerily reminiscent of the news media's method of operation, whether or not such was the intent, and whether or not you realize that such is the case. Emphasize, scrutinize and publicize the bad things done in the name of Christianity (or any other religion conflicting with the Luciferian belief), suppressing the good. Any time any "good" deeds leak out into the public consciousness, be quick to remind the masses of the extremists while making gross, sweeping over-generalizations. Is any of this beginning to look familiar in the world around you? The Luciferians are doing the same thing to the world's religions that they're doing to the world's governments.
In case you've not noticed, the same thing is happening to the Muslim religion right now. There are extremists in every religion – Christianity included. The violent (mis)deeds of Muslim extremists, in particular, are thrown in your face 24/7. Emphasize the deeds of small groups; get some biased camera footage and commentary; don't promote too much that there are a great many decent, peaceful Muslims; repeat the scenes 100 times a day; multiply that by hundreds of millions of TV's, radios, Internet connections, newspapers and magazines; and the effect upon the collective unconscious is huge. Look at the large part of the effect it's having upon the overgeneralized sentiment of the people of this country towards Muslims in general. The reality is that most Muslims are non-extremists, and are peaceful, decent human beings. But who is it that wants you not to know that, and why? I'll give you one guess. It's the same people and same reasons some "Christian" TV evangelists are funded and broadcast, intentionally warping the religion to make Christians in general look crazy, despite association or lack thereof with the extremists.
If I'm not mistaken, Christian Science and pure Scientology were outlawed in parts of Europe a month or so ago. And I read an article on Yahoo news 2-3 months ago outlining that yet another version of the bible is being written – one that is "easier for the layman to understand." Also, don't forget how quick your beloved president, who would beam with delight at your post, was to let the Muslim nations know that, "...whatever America once was, it is no longer a Christian nation..."
I believe I owe it to God and to my fellow man to tell others of my faith, but I also realize that the quickest way to solidify someone's resistance to it is to badger them with it and/or to demonstrate hypocrisy by not practicing what I preach. I believe in Jesus Christ. I believe in the bible. I believe in the prophecies. I do not, however, call myself a Christian. Do I have religious beliefs? Sure. Do I call myself a Christian? Well, unlike the people you've described in your introduction above, I can't really, in good conscience, say "yes", and it is BECAUSE OF MY FAITH that I recognize I'm not a very job at being a Christ-like person. But the only sense of "helplessness" (and hopelessness, for that matter) that I feel comes from seeing so many who are hopelessly unaware of the shifts that are happening all around them, not only in this country, but all over our planet. What about any of that frightens you about me or what I believe?
The people you've inaccurately described as "Christians" have been indoctrinated to believe that going to a church building a few times a week and spending the rest of the week abrasively cramming their faith down your throat = being Christ-like. They've been spoon-fed all the hand-picked parts of the gospel necessary to motivate them in the direction their leaders want them to go, and to lead them astray from certain truths that are never discussed in many churches. They've been led to believe that they are not good "Christians" unless they heed blindly (or at least without spot-checking) every detail of what their pastor says. If you know that the Luciferians have infiltrated many churches, then you must know that some of those pastors are not what they portray themselves to be, some have been simply been led astray by the first group, but a great many still have genuine faith and are decent, likable human beings, despite the first two groups.
The first recorded power center was Sumeria (Samaria in the bible). That civilization had direct contact with and influence from the fallen angels, transformed into angels of light, which the Sumerians called the "watchers." Their beliefs and "sacred" knowledge were formalized into the Babylonian religion and have survived well over 5,000 years to today, and are still practiced by those you refer to as the Luciferians. They had great undertones of influence in the founding of this country and have, as you said, infiltrated a great many churches and belief systems, not to mention governments. Here is a 5,000 year old Babylonian coin, depicting the Babylonian goddess Isis (the Egyptians called her Semiramis). Does she look familiar to you? Think about it for a minute.
To address your far-reaching assertions that "leaning on Jesus" makes one vulnerable...
"To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven: A time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up that which is planted; A time to kill, and a time to heal; a time to break down, and a time to build up; A time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance; A time to cast away stones, and a time to gather stones together; a time to embrace, and a time to refrain from embracing; A time to get, and a time to lose; a time to keep, and a time to cast away; A time to rend, and a time to sew; a time to keep silence, and a time to speak; A time to love, and a time to hate; a time of war, and a time of peace. What profit hath he that worketh in that wherein he laboureth? I have seen the travail, which God hath given to the sons of men to be exercised in it."
Where in that does it say be totally docile at all times?
If you believe your own words with respect to the Luciferians, about what they've come to control, but believe that they have not the resources, means or desire to foster a decay and blurring of pure religions in the eyes of people such as yourself, then you're willfully seeing this issue through slanted glasses, and you unwittingly (or perhaps not so unwittingly) serve them in their goals to distort religion. That is, of course, unless you believe that they have taken key seats of power and manipulation for your own good. I assure you, they're not here in your interests; they're here on behalf of their own, and one of their biggest interests is to sufficiently destroy all other religions before introducing theirs to the masses. Don't be a pawn in their goals by being quick to overgeneralize any religion, based on what your are spoon-fed about it, and without looking into it further. That doesn't help anyone and it impairs you with a biased filter in your own personal diligence in seeking the truth to be set free. It serves as nothing more than a distract, divide and conquer technique here on DP, whether or not that was your intent. If the "God-spellers" scare you, wait until the Luciferians come out to openly declare themselves in the light. The “God-spellers” can be annoying, mislead, damaging to their own cause, detrimental to true Christians, and they do need to look past their pastors' words. However, I find it ironic that you yourself cited the Luciferians, yet it's still the “God-spellers” (which, by your slanted and willfully-ignorant definition, includes all Christians) whom you fear. Unbelievable.
The biggest twist of irony, however, is that you actually summarized your own words with, "The Truth shall set you free. Seek it diligently."

My faith experience is nothing like your description.
Leaning on God makes me far stronger than relying solely on my own knowledge. When I ignore God in my life, I become unreliable, completely self absorbed, apathetic to anything others may be enduring in life, angry at people, vindictive, and more. My family and friends that care suffer. While I can't beat those defects of character in my life 100% perfectly every 24 hour cycle of my life, I stand no chance of any victory without God.....without my intercessor, Jesus Christ. I'm a horrid example of a living Christian, but without my faith, I'm a horrid example of humanity in an all around kinda of way.
Oh, and faith is critical, in a huge way, to overcoming FEAR. You should open your mind, perhaps, and see if deliverance from fear is waiting for you.
Peace Out.

At least Christians know where they will spend eternity and that is a long time.
Only christians scre you?
Heck, they all scare me. Every major religion that is spun from a book. Every person who honestly thinks they will go to heaven and be rewarded with eternity and bliss. Every single worshiper who cannot see a place of worship as anything other than a church/temple/mosque and it's flock. Any religion that strikes fear as means of control and any religion that denounces another's beliefs.
The only major religions in the world that do those things are Christian, Jewish (though they don't believe in heaven) and Muslim. And they are also the source of the major world conflicts.
The middle east is mainly Muslim. While the USA is a christian populace with an unusually high number of Jewish in power. Out of the 3 religions Jewish is the oldest. Followed by Christian and Muslim last.
I find a situation arising where Christians and Muslims are being pitted against each other and Jewish remaining in power...and on the sidelines.
It's similar to the cast system used in Hindu societies. Those born into the lowest cast are the worker bees or the "untouchable" for they do the untouchable jobs. Than the merchant class, then the higher white collar cast...like doctors and engineers and finally the ruling cast.
The Christians and Muslim are the "untouchables." They do the untouchable jobs while the Jewish do the ruling. ya guys are being pitted against each-other by a cast that uses religion as means to power.
As a result of this manipulation Christians in the USA are going to see their religion shrink massively. People tied of being manipulated by religious figures will leave the religion they are born into. Those people will do 1 of 3 things: Become atheist, become a lone person of faith or convert to a oriental type religion. Hindu and Buddhist are actually gaining numbers. Buddhist is steady gaining numbers in the USA. The type of Buddhist emerging is a American type that likes fresh organic food but will also eat meat. And some while take their christian values and mesh it with Buddhist theory. I expect to see a Christian/Buddhist mix in the next 20 years really emerge.
Others who become more faith based but non religious will either return to Christianity as tough times approach or look for alternate religions that are more in tune to their beliefs.
As more people look at alternate and some cases ancient religions as forms of spiritual fulfillment, the holy wars will end. The Muslims will retain their religion and faith. The Jewish will try and retain their power structure and die hard Christians will employ any means to scare non worshiping people of faith back to the flock.
I expect Christianity to shrink in number and continue to look for the coming of Jesus as means to bring people back into the faith. All while Buddhist makes a surprising climb in the USA and morphs into a new religion based on reincarnation.
It will be very interesting to see how the USA will look in 20 years.

It's okay Cody.. I know you are scared. It is so very obvious by the condescending tone you use. I often become condescending and aggressive while speaking publicly about those I am in complete terror of. Ooo, I just got a chill down my spin. And this amazing gift of prophesy you have is no help apparently. I mean, so what if you can predict the declining influence of these groups that terrorize you, you're still going to fear them... right?
Your knowledge of the subject matter comes shining through in glorious array. Of course Christians all think that worship is something that can only take place in a particular building. There's got to be a cross on it, LOL! Yes, yes, yes... "Thou shall only worship in a properly recognized church building"... it's the eleventh commandment don't ya know!
It is facinating what your post has tagged at the end. You proclaim, "Return our Republic to its roots." Is that really what you want Cody? If so, let us discuss the roots for a while to see if we can't change your mind. When you say 'roots', what exactly do you mean? Did those roots have no connection whatsoever to Christian doctrine and teaching? Were those roots watered when Christian numbers were few and as the clergy scrambled to fill everyone with fear of the second coming to try and boost Church attendance?
I don't usually enter into these discussions as one's religion
is very personal in nature. I think this will add to the polite discussion, which it has been for the most part! : )
This morning I was reading a blog on Lew Rockwell written by Butler Shaffer and this sentence jumped out at me "Bible-thumping can occur in any religion, be it secular or evangelical in nature."
He said to explain this blog, "It is always amusing to read people’s responses to my writings, and the assumptions they often bring to their comments about my experiences. My earlier blog about Ayn Rand’s views of “big business” provides an example. Some of her defenders — who know nothing of my upbringing nor with whom I have ever had a personal conversation – accused me of not having read her works; or defending my own “nihilism” or, in the alternative, my religion against her atheism."
