: I see from the Star of David you wear and all your magical charms that you : believe in the power of Yahweh. Perhaps you have attended a sinagoge gathering : or you have participated in some faith-healing rituals. I don't know. : But so many questions fill my mind. Have you "felt God in your heart" yet? : Have you ever felt a power come upon you? Do you worship the one true God? : Have you had bar mitzveh? Do you have a Jewish name? Have you gone to : sinagoge regularly? Are you in the front or back pews? Have you used blessed wine in : your rituals? Have you ever called forth Adoni? : The reason I am writing you is that I have studied the Jewish community for thirty : years and I have come to certain conclusions. : Now, I know that you will disagree with some of my conclusions because we : have travelled different paths. But I have added the benefit of the : testimonies of those who used prayer in the highest levels possible and then have come to believe in reality and now : have renounced faith. : All I ask is that you have an open mind and give serious attention to the : things I now bring up. Remember an unexamined faith is a worthless faith. : 1. The fact that prayer does not work. : After all the talk about the "power" that people can get from prayer, I have : never known a more powerless group of people. : Many of those who use prayer are sick all the time. They go through multiple : marriages. They have money problems. Their cars get flat tyres. They get : their share of 'flus and colds. : Even more seriously, they cannot beat their own drug addiction. They : are totally powerless to change their life for the : better. : If prayer really worked, they would never be sick. They would win every : horse race in town! They would own Wall Street by now! They would be able to : maintain a successful marriage. : But the fact is, you waste a lot of money and time on prayer and are no : better off. In fact, you will end up worse off. : If prayer worked, sinagoge-goers would be picking up the winning lottery : numbers every week. But the fact is that when the "rubber meets the road" : prayer simply does not work. : 2. Their lame duck excuses as to why they are sick or why they can't keep : their marriage together or why they aren't rich, are weak and feeble. : One rabbi (a relative of mine) is sick all the time. Her : husband is dying of cancer! When she boasted to me of her hands-on powers, I : confronted her with the rather obvious fact that her faith did not work for : her or her ex-husband. She replied that her faith will not work for herself. : But who says that you cannot heal yourself by faith? Where is it written : down? And who says that your husband or wife cannot use prayer to heal you? : If her faith cannot help herself or her husband, then what good is it? : I could not help but point out that she was always crying about money : problems. What use is her faith if it cannot make her rich? : 3. A religious world view is internally contradictory and hypocritical. : * To say, "there are no gods but God" is to give an absolute. : * To say, "God wills it" has been used to justify everything from : faith-healing to genocide. If there are no standards, then on what grounds : can they condone child abuse, Bernard of Clairvaux, murder, etc.? They : can't. : * To say, "everything is relative" and "there is no evil," and then to turn : around and say that Christianity is "evil" is contradictory. : * To say, "Everyone has the right to believe what they want" and then : condemn Messianic Jews for what they believe is contradictory. : * To say, "Do as the Bible says" and then as Jews NOT do as the Bible : says is hypocritical. : * To say, "that it is wrong to judge/condemn others," and then to : judge/condemn Christians is contradictory. : 4. A religious view of life does not correspond to reality. : * No belief is going to make you thin if you do not stop eating. No belief : will make you rich if you do not get up and go to work. : * The claim of talmudists that they are reviving : "oral torah" given at Sinai is not true historically. The rituals and beliefs of Talmud are of more recent origin. : * My brother in law who attends sinagoge told me he was going to use prayer : to get himself a parking space in N.Y.C. I in turn told him that I would ask : the parking attendant to get me a space. He drove around for four hours : before finding a place while I found one immediately and did not have to go : around the block even once! His prayer was not even good enough to find him : a parking space! : * A religious view of life is a cop out and it breeds irrationality. Instead : of taking responsibility for their life, those who use faith always blame : "the devil" or claim that someone is using reason against them. The truth is : that YOU are responsible for the choices you make in life - not God. : * It attracts people with mental problems. Sad but true. I have seen this : many, many times. The State Mental Hospitals are filled with people who were : believers in prayer. It appeals to people with those kind of delusions. : * They live in constant fear of the powers they call upon. Hence they need : the occult protection of the tallits and skullcups. What a terrible religion of fear! : * If you depend upon skull cups to protect you, you do not : have any real power. To think that a stupid piece of clothing is going : to protect you from the devil you believe in is absurd. : * The lust for blood is evil. It has led to horrible crimes. Killing animals : and people for their "religion" is wicked as well as criminal. : * Religious belief is filthy and gross beyond words and involves child : abuse, bestiality, sodomy, etc. You will never have a normal satisfying free : life once you debase yourself in religious belief. : 5. Prayer is for losers. : The greatest rabbis always end up broke, alone, and miserable. Check to : see what happend to people like the 6 million Jews that died during the holocaust. They were all losers. : Whenever a true Rationalist challenges them, the believers always lose. : I have challenged believers to take their best shot and they always failed. : On one occasion, a sinagoge sent rabbis to convert me but I didn't even get a : headache! : 6. While there is a lot of hate and lust in religion, there is no love. If : you become Messianic, they will try to convert you back. : I helped to move a girl from Philadelphia to Florida to escape her former : sinagoge friends. If they really loved her, why did they try to convert her? : If she wanted to leave the group, why did they object to her doing what she : wished? : 7. There is no forgiveness, comfort or salvation in Adoni. There is no : Saviour or God who loves and cares for you. : The sinagoge is lonely, sad, cold and sterile. : 8. The Torah says that true power behind the religious arts is holy. Those : who accept this are dupes of the rabbis. : These are just a few things that came to mind as I thought about what I have : seen in thirty years of research into faith. : The Light of Truth has broken the power of prayer and has brought life, love : and rationality to light through Reason. Truth is Triumphant! : The sinagoge has nothing to offer that compares with the love of Reality. Turn : to Truth in repentance. Renounce your religion and the words of a myth. Burn : your Torah and mash your altars. Learn or spurn. Repent or remainignorant! : Reality is the answer.
