Let's Talk About What We Aren't Supposed To Talk About... Religion!
As I strolled today with my five completely non-compliant anarchist dogs I decided to delve into the nature of reality. And, in particular, I got into one of the two things you aren't supposed to talk about... probably because if you talk about them you'll realize what a scam they are... religion.
By religion I mean man-made organized, dogmatic, pay-to-play frauds that sell, not offer, God to people.
But, more than that, I mostly just questioned everything. That's kinda just my thing. I'm the adult version of a 5 year old child. "But, why?" is my most asked question in response to a statement.
And the more you ask about religion the more you realize what a joke it is.
Religion has nothing to do with spirituality, though... which I am very into.
Anyway, you can hear all my whacky views on it here:
You may be surprised to hear in the video that the craziest religion, in my opinion, is actually atheism.
Check it out to see why. And leave comments (which I am sure there will be more than a few!) on where you think I am wrong... or right!
In an upcoming video I will go into what I think reality is and what is actually going on here. Stay tuned here on Steemit for that coming soon!
Hi Jeff, I am Christian and I watched your whole video. I upvoted it not because I believe all you said but because you did say some things that rang true. I am truly impressed that you want to learn more and you are still open minded about things (That's a great sign!) but I do hope you read the Bible and at least pray to God to reveal things to you. I hear lots of the same comments you made from many people and wish I had all the answers but I do not. As far as I am concerned the Bible is the true inspired word of God and that's where I stand on that. Many people want to argue my belief and I choose to state what I believe is true and defend my faith but never argue with anyone about it. We all have a choice to make on our own and I notice a lot of Christians argue and push the Christian belief on others to try and save them. First off no man can save another. Only Jesus can save. Secondly we are not supposed to argue with anyone but simply preach the gospel of Jesus Christ and allow the Holy Spirit to work in that person. Some plant a seed and some water but only God can bring increase. Keep searching and stay open minded. Don't give up on Jesus and just try talking to God and asking for wisdom in this matter. I pray for you brother and wish you all the best in the future!
Of course there is no god. Maybe this post intent was to be debated and full of comments and upvotes ;)
May God Bless you @mrnastykilla and may our Lord Jesus Christ walk with you and fill you with the Holy Spirit until the day of his return.
And now he answers for his belief or lack there of. So sad!
You think in hell Satan rails him up the pooper with a rusty pole while hes wearing an Easter Bunny suit? Sounds like a good time!
Ok didn't say that. Now you are just being vile. Glad that sounds good to you my friend.
Wow, I thought eternal damnation was supposed to be edgy, how touchy the religious are, can't take a joke and easily offended.
Well,- there is a good loving God, - but I am mostly writing this to test if I am able to publish what I am writing. Has not been able to publish my response to Jeff all day. Thanks for understanding.
The sun is our god =)
lol ok, if that's your God I hope you don't mind if I pray for you?
Jesus was an anarchist
Yes! And the forms of Christianity that are the mainstream nowadays are derived from propaganda by the Roman Empire. They were trying to suppress the Jewish revolt. That's why, for example, you are taught to "turn the other cheek". If there is a form of Christianity that is true , it could be gnostic Christianity. Gnostic Christianity has more in common with Buddhism than mainstream Christianity. Hook me up @tradersharpe to discuss more.
Jesus loves you!
Interesting😀
Fuckin retard
To be honest Im extremely disappointed in you Jeff. Here you are with the microphone and people to listen, and you actually pull them from the word of God. CHRIST IS NOT A RELIGION IT IS THE TRUTH. Anarchy might not be a religion but you practice like it is, which is dangerous in itself. You want to expose the truth? You want to free the minds of the people? Then educate yourself with Christ. You are no different then the Satanist you expose if your a heathen and spread that ideology to others... Your either with us or against us JEFF WAKE UP & READ SCRIPTURE!!!
You know when you look at a painting and think... huh that looks allot like a painting some other person made, well that's what Jesus is. A compilation of myths unified into one by wise Greeks in a philosophy known as Gnosticism wich later became 1st century Christianity. "Gnosticism consisted of many syncretistic belief systems which combined elements taken from Asian, Babylonian, Egyptian, Greek and Syrian pagan religions, from astrology, and from Judaism and Christianity."
Jesus loves you!
Jesus still loves you!
All you touch and all you see is all that your life will ever be.
One day we will all stand before our creator and take account for everything we have ever said and done. If one repents and turns to Jesus then all will be forgiven and our canvas is clean. We start fresh and new. All our sins will be forgiven. It starts with Faith! Faith in God as our creator and Faith in his son Jesus Christ that died on the cross for our sins to wash us clean. The Grace we are given is a free gift and all we need to do is accept that gift and give our lives to Jesus to be saved. Our life here on this earth is more than what we see and touch. It is our chance to serve Jesus and spread the gospel to others. To do the good works that Jesus commanded. One day every knee shall bow and every tongue shall confess that Jesus Christ is King of Kings and Lord of Lords. We will all see him coming in the clouds and if some are not ready by that point it will be to late. I pray that you open your heart to Jesus and repent of any sin in your life before then for we are all sinners and none was perfect accept Jesus. God Bless!
To be honest jeff don't give a fuck. He didn't push anyone in any direction. also don't go claiming CHRIST IS NOT A RELIGION IT IS THE TRUTH in all caps as if caps makes it more true. Bitch were you there a few thousand years ago to confirm it's true? The absolute worst part about what you said is "You're either with us or against us". This is exactly the kind of thinking that starts wars. I'm glad as fuck you only have a screen and keyboard in front of you and not any real power. There's no real point in trying to convince anyone of anything. Don't bother.
Jeff is notorious for being a scammer himself. I like Jeff but he is slightly obsessed with money and making it. This reflects his lack of Christian values. Hes also very judgmental, very quick to label people villains without actually knowing their personal lives. He is quick to say when he was right but not so quick to admit when he is wrong. And yes this is the type of thinking that starts wars but usually the Christians are the ones being prosecuted and killed for being morally just. The Crusades? People will argue. But the crusades was run by the church not by the Son of God. Also, the crusades where not created to spread Christianity (like most brainwashed Americans learned in school) but it is was directly for political and economical power. The word of God is a source of knowledge. And it can be used for good OR evil. Using our mind however you can take the words as literal interpretations you will only find goodness from it. JEFF DOESNT KNOW SHIT ABOUT SPIRITUALITY. (CAPS LOCK BECAUSE THE DUDE HAS NEVER READ PAGE TO PAGE ABOUT THE BIBLE AND YET HE TALKS ABOUT RELIGION LIKE HES GOD-SENT) PLUS HES A HEATHEN? DO I HAVE TO SAY ANYTHING ELSE?
Disappointed in someone who does not believe in what you believe? Did you check out the Quran? If negative, then the Muslims are really disappointed with you for not believing in Allah! LOL
Open up your mind.
"You're either with us or against us". Those words are scary! I guarantee that isn't what the word of God preaches. It sure isn't even close the the lessons Jesus preached while he was here.
The two thousand years of existence of Christianity should instruct us on what it really is and what has it done in the world and to the world. As frequently said, the proof of the pudding is in the eating. And so, what have we “ate” of Christianity and what happened to us, what did it do to us? Can we pinpoint gains of Christianity for the world and humanity in its two thousand years of existence? Perhaps there will be as many answers as the number of people who will try to answer such questions. For this post I can only proffer more questions that are relevant to our individual and collective quest for answers,
Hi @jeffberwick i watched your whole video, and i find it fascinating that theres another side of you that is more spiritual in nature. Definetly something is going on but we don't really know what it is. But it feels very positive and i sense we are all fighting for freedom we just don't realize it. Only when we unite and think collectively then changes happen in an instant. Fear is the illusion that is programmed in us that keeps us lock up with the reality we are facing. I very much liked your video and talking about something serious and mind blowing
I grew up and still and Christian. It's not about "religion" as much as it is a "relationship" with Jesus. Something that took until recently to see was possible 😊
There is a quote I read somewhere quite awhile ago - "I don't mind God but I do not fancy his fan club" in that matter. I don't mind believing in a higher power even if I'm not a real believer in the supernatural but Religion has done more wrong that right and has killed more people that it has ever saved troughout the years. It is a machine for manipulation and money that people are blindly following for 'the greater good'. Sad really how so many people have lost the 'child with the questions - But why?'.
guy's i'm not saying because i'm a true believers in christ but it doesn't mean that i'm not a sinner. faith is also a gift from God. remember that we are created in his own image but we have our own choice i pray that before the second coming of Jesus christ you we're still alive so that you can witness his glory.
I agree with you.For me It's our faith in God is the most important. Its not the religion nor our good deeds towards others.
True, religion will not save anyone, nor our good deeds. The Bible clearly states that many will still go to hell even though they did good works. Without Faith the works are dead. The Bible also Clearly states we are saved by Grace through Faith. We are made into new creations and good works will follow. Some people think they are saved by good works without Faith. I think they have it somewhat backwards.
Yes Grace is our gift to receive freely and Faith is what we develop in our relationship with Christ. We have all been given our own Sovereign will to make a choice. Which way we choose will decide the out come.
No shit. Let's not forget man's version of a god flooded the entire world and killed practically everyone and everything...... almost. Strange that people would follow such a being even if he had a change of heart later? I'm no atheist but man's version ain't for me..........
Well that is what Christians believe. There are quite a lot of Gods out there :). Another thought.. how is everyone so convinced that their God is the real one and everyone else's is false?
I still can't stomach the story of God killing his own child and it is celebrated yearly......I do believe in God/Creator/Source....but not the lessons being taught. It's all pretty twisted to me :(
You are in error God did not kill his own child his own child layed his own life down freely he had power to lay it down and power to take it back he himself said no man takes my life from me i lay it down freely and he purposed to do this before he layed the foundations of the world when he forknew that man would rebel and sin against God so see you now have no excuse to reject him and live in your rebellion
I am entitled to my own feelings on the subject. It still doesn't impress me and I choose not to be subjected to this programming and control. The beauty is, you are entitled to your own feelings and I hope they bless you always. In Love Brother
Well, really if we think about it for a moment God the father, the son, and the holy spirit are one in the same or at least that's what I was taught so in essence God himself came down as Jesus and had himself murdered by man for our sins. Now, as strange as this sounds even more strange to me would be that he wrote that way before it happened due to him knowing all. He knew I was going to write this today before he created the Earth. So in fact if he knows all and created all that would include all good and bad we experience and perceive here in this realm or could it be that this is just life? We are all part of the "source" here learning through experiences and taking that knowledge back to the source where eventually we will reside. But, to condemn ourselves for these experiences whether good or bad while we are here is not part of my mind set or beliefs and only cripples ones growth. Karma is real in my belief and will come back on one in one form or another but the idea of eternal damnation from yet another one of man's god and his creations isn't. Jeff's right that religion and politics seem to be taboo. It's good to see a post where people can relay their feelings/thoughts and have feedback from others. Discussions are good within these topics. Not everyone agree's one way or the other but the subject matter shouldn't be taboo and it's certainly not one sided. I wish you all well on your journeys through life................
I seek to base my assumptions on Gods written word for he has said heaven and earth shall pass away but my word shall never pass away.Knowing this we are wise to base are opinions on that written word rather than our reasoning feelings and opinions The Father Son and Holy Spirit are One in the sense that they agree on everything yet are separate entitys Jesus said me and my Father are one My Father sent me i am not alone my Father is always with me Father i have done the work that you sent me to do recieve me now back to the glory that i once had it is not i but the father that dwells in me does the work i could go on and on where Jesus signifies that he and his father are separate yet one in that they agree and also same as with the Spirit he told his followers go unto Jerusalem and wait for the promise of the Spirit which you have heard of from me it is more needful for you that i go else the Spirit will not come but if i go i will send him so you see there is much evidence that they are separate yet agree i could give many more examples my point is we should base our opinions and beliefs on Gods revealed will his written word
Interesting point. Thank you for your comment. I appreciate the response. I still have a hard time with the traditional viewpoint but my mind is always open to other rational persons and their beliefs. You're right in that this discussion could go on and on but I don't mind in the sense that it never hurts to listen. It's all very interesting to me and again I thank you.
I totally resonate with you and agree this is all a learning experience. We each have our own individual perception of actually the same story. It is quite beautiful when you look at it that way ;)
Genesis 6King James Version (KJV)
6 And it came to pass, when men began to multiply on the face of the earth, and daughters were born unto them,
2 That the sons of God saw the daughters of men that they were fair; and they took them wives of all which they chose.
3 And the Lord said, My spirit shall not always strive with man, for that he also is flesh: yet his days shall be an hundred and twenty years.
4 There were giants in the earth in those days; and also after that, when the sons of God came in unto the daughters of men, and they bare children to them, the same became mighty men which were of old, men of renown.
5 And God saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually.
6 And it repented the Lord that he had made man on the earth, and it grieved him at his heart.
7 And the Lord said, I will destroy man whom I have created from the face of the earth; both man, and beast, and the creeping thing, and the fowls of the air; for it repenteth me that I have made them.
8 But Noah found grace in the eyes of the Lord.
9 These are the generations of Noah: Noah was a just man and perfect in his generations, and Noah walked with God.
10 And Noah begat three sons, Shem, Ham, and Japheth.
11 The earth also was corrupt before God, and the earth was filled with violence.
12 And God looked upon the earth, and, behold, it was corrupt; for all flesh had corrupted his way upon the earth.
13 And God said unto Noah, The end of all flesh is come before me; for the earth is filled with violence through them; and, behold, I will destroy them with the earth.
God reset the board sort of speak. Noah had the same Y chromosome as Adam did. And Adam's father was Creator God. Made in his own image. So when the 1/3 fallen angels following Lucifer slept with the daughters and had half-angel half human children.. Their actions corrupted all flesh within a few generations? Save 'perfect' Noah. Noah's three sons were pure as well. In fact, thanks to the flood, every human male shares the same inherited Y. The wives of his three sons arguably had corrupted X chromosomes. So inherently God gave his creation a second chance free from "Evil Angel-Daddy's DNA". The punishment to the angels was/is so severe that this offense won't be repeated again- ever. The spirits that died in the flood are the wandering, familiar spirits we wrestle against every day. They are the ones that answer rituals and demonic summonings and Ouija boards. That stuff is real-- right? The angels that committed these trespasses I believe are still bound in chains until they are unleashed in the final yet approaching days.
We know giants persisted through history. Goliath was of the giant. He had 12 fingers 12 toes. The peoples Joshua would wipe out entirely were all giant. The spies reported how they were as grasshoppers in the sight of the inhabitant peoples.
How could this be post-flood? Well that's the three sons' three wives for ya... there were giants in those days, and also after that.
Right on the money, i have always wondered if the Nephilims were destroyed with the flood how come we had giant afterwards. Though i don't think its has simple as it being narrowed down to chromosomes because that would make women a protege of the corrupted flesh, but yes Noah's wife and daughters in-law seems to be the explanation for the proliferation of the Nephilims "sons of Anak".
When you say "The angels that committed these trespasses I believe are still bound in chains until they are unleashed in the final yet approaching days", and you say these "spirits" supposedly have died in the flood and already buried underground. Through simplistic interpretation, my first though is, could this be reflected in what is already happening today. Fossil fuels supposed to have originated from a mass burial extinction, represented by the "flood". In this modern age, they are being dug up, drilled, burned and "unleashed" into the air we breath, causing pollution, climate change, and war over oil towards the "final yet approaching days". God create Adam (man) to take care of His creation (Gen 2:15). That was our purpose, to care and maintain peace in this world, until we gained "the knowledge of good and evil" and we realise we can abuse the "creation", knowingly or unknowingly, for our own selfish gains, lust and pride. This resulted in "sin", which in the original Greek and Hebrew, means to miss our target, and in this sense, to lose our original purpose.
Hey bro! Enjoy these comments. I should have been more clear. The spirits of the half-breeds that died in the flood are the 'wandering' spirits of today. And the original angels that fell are according to scripture still bound in chains. YES- I am pointing out that the female 'dna' was indeed corrupted still to this day. However, there's no way they can pass a faulty Y to a male.
Original sin... The bible states that Eve was the mother of all living. However, it doesn't state that Adam was the father of all living. I believe scripture shows us that the father of Cain is the serpent. And I think we were all created because God is bored or maybe lonely? However, making friends with a Robot wouldn't be as fulfilling as making friends with someone that could freely accept or reject you. Independently able to make choices resulting in death or life. Cain's lineage is never connected to Adam. Furthermore, you can see how Christ compared to the kingdom of heaven as a man sowing wheat, and his enemy came and sowed tares. Lest the harvest be ruined, the 'tares' (the weeds, the evil) are allowed to mature with the good (wheat) until the very end.
Maybe the devil has convinced us that he is God. Let's face it if there was indeed an antichrist then he'd be responsible for all the disasters we call an 'act of God'
You do realize that when you say higher power you could be referring even to Satan? Satan is called the god of this earth. Little g. He controls the earth and the first heaven which is our immediate atmosphere. Saying you believe in a higher power really leaves the door open for so much. Many people say they believe in a God or higher power but in the Bible even the demons and Satan himself believes in God but that is not going to save them. Only believing in Jesus Christ and his death, burial and resurrection will. Not going to push the Gospel of Jesus Christ on you but I did want to state that. Many Blessings to you sir!

In the end respect is the most important part. But it is a theme that can be talked nonstop and there are always something to discuss and talk about.
Yes. More.
I have a lot of the same questions, interested in your conclusions/thought processes about this stuff.
Nice article!
People have different views on the world. Ignorant persons for example can't see with other eyes cause they choose to not to. Its all about truth or not? We have to seek truth if we wanna see god. Is your life a gift? yes? then treat it like that. Many people are more likely to be proud of what they have done. That what makes them blind for the things that really count
