Protection From Cults

 

GUARANTEED PROTECTION FROM CULTS

by Robert L. Johnson

 

Current establishment definitions of "cult" seem to include anything that is not Judeo-Christian. The Deist definition for cult, however, is any organization that encourages people to believe or act without reason. To Deism, all revealed religions are cults because they all require their adherents to abandon their God given reason and replace it with their religion's man-made dogma.

Whenever we violate our reason, we place ourselves in danger, whether it is by believing some impossible doctrine of Christianity or Judaism, or if we believe a David Koresh or a Jim Jones. If the followers of Koresh or Jones had resolutely held fast to their reason, they NEVER would have put themselves in a position where they and their innocent children ended up losing their lives. In situations like these, it appears you first give up your God given reason, and then your God given life.

Established revealed religions laid the ground work for the tragedies at Jones Town and Waco. They taught their followers that to give up their ability to reason was a good thing in religious matters. It showed they had "faith." But in reality, it only set a precedent to further surrender their minds. It made them ripe for fanatics who, unlike the established religious leaders, actually believe what they're preaching. The cult leaders and cult members earnestly believe what they are reading from the Bible is truth. And truly believing a book as crazy, violent and discursive as the Bible is a very dangerous thing, as both Jones Town and Waco prove.

Deists hold fast to our best defense against cults - reason! This way, if someone tells us God told them to meet Him in the desert, or to go to the jungle and drink poison so we can all meet in heaven, or God needs $6,000,000.00 by a certain date or He will, "call the preacher home," we just laugh and walk away. We also laugh when the established religions tell us of a virgin birth, or the parting of the Red Sea. You can't laugh at one, but not the other.

God didn't give us a mind to confuse us, it was given to us by a loving and generous Creator to be regularly used. How many more deaths will take place because people reject this beautiful and sublime gift of reason and put in its place revealed religion? Who will the next victims be? Any of your friends or family? Or you?

Both Democratic candidates promote the nonsense of the Bible!
Hilary Clinton says, "I think the whole Bible is real." So she believes in the talking donkey (Numbers 22:28), that any nation that will not serve Israel should "be utterly wasted" (Isaiah 60:10-12), among many other ridiculous claims! Based on the blank check both Democratic and Republican politicians give to Israel, it appears they're all strong believers in the Hebrew Bible!

Barack Obama gave a speech in which he used the genocidal maniacs, Moses and Joshua, as great examples to be followed! It's pathetic and dangerous when in this nuclear age politicians still cling to the insanity found in the Bible, Torah and Koran! Here are just two examples to demonstrate that Moses and Joshua were murderous butchers. Deuteronomy 2:34 in which Moses brags about killing "men, women and the little ones", and Joshua 6:21 which says the Hebrews "utterly destroyed all that was in the city, both man and woman, young and old, and ox, and sheep, and ass, with the edge of the sword."  How Obama can think this is good is beyond reason!
At least 50 people were blinded due to religious superstition!
50 people who believed there was an image of the fictional virgin Mary on the sun were blinded due to looking directly at the sun while trying to see the image! Our God-given reason is the only thing that will protect us from such ignorance and superstition - if we decide to use it!
