Senator Warns:
BEWARE THE CULT OF CHURCH

SENSATIONAL EXPOSE OF SORDID BODY CULT

State investigation into a whacky New Religious Movement has revealed that its leaders are restricted to men only, wear dresses and pretend to drink blood prior to performing a symbolic ritual of cannibalism. A report on their disgusting activities was announced today in the senate. The weird ceremonies of initiation of this head-banger sect involve submerging newly-born babies, adolescents and adults in vats of water

They are rumoured to meet in groups to 'eat the body' of their founder, who was executed as a criminal along with two robbers some years ago. An expert psychologist told the Daily Biblos that long-term studies have proven that immersing people in water can cause severe effects for the victim and such a barbarous practice should be banned as clinically unsafe

Jeffarius Dikensius a member of the senate and a hard-line right-winger said "The theology of this crackpot cult goes against everything we stand for. Why they even have the audacity to claim that their prophet is a god in his own right who was born without being fathered. There is no doubt that this terrible cult is an attempt to control and twist the minds of innocent young people and if allowed to grow unchecked will dramatically affect the fabric of our society. I already know of several young people , they call them disciples, who have been tempted away and who have left their parents, their homes and their jobs just to join this weird cult. They will listen to no-one, not even their parents; it is as though their minds have been taken over. In their rituals the assembled throng is made to jump up and down and shout magical words after their leader. Some then become like zombies and begin talking in tongues and some act as though possessed with an animal type nature which they call The Devil.

Mr Dikensius is appearing at the Forum today to demand the outlawing of the Cult and hopes to close down their meeting houses; "The Military should act now and save our children." he said.

A Taste Of Their Own Medicine?

With apologies to all True Christians, who's views and sentiments we respect the above pastiche shows just how wickedly a genuine religious view can be twisted and represented as an anti-social and evil menace to society by an unsympathetic media out to sell newspapers regardless of the consequences. We use the above as an example of how good works can be defamed. It is exactly this type of propaganda which has been perpetrated against the Occult and Paganism for hundreds of years. This broadsheet has been produced and distributed to counteract the growing number of manipulative leaflets produced by evangelical churches and the charysmatic church movement. We seek only to present an objective view of the arguments.

Thinking people will read on and have their eyes opened. In reading any of the fundamentalist literature you need to understand that attendance in the orthodox churches of the Establishment is falling rapidly and the new churches and christian movements, staffed in the main by fundamentalists, are in a HIGHLY competitive market to catch those 'floating voters' for their embryonic churches. By spreading lies andmisrepresentations about Witchcraft and Paganism they hope to gain kudos and publicity to achieve their ends; which is to increase their flock, and thereby their power to impose upon the populace (regardless of its multi-religious composition) their own interpretation of Holy Writ. If you do not believe that a 'Church-person' would lie then you are very wrong. I have written proof of outright lies by the clergy and totally false allegations of sacrifice and murder which were made in front of millions of TV viewers.

The churches do not like the current openness and liberality and cross-cultural pollination of religious ideas because that is a freedom which does not allow them to control your thoughts and beliefs. George Orwell got his dates wrong. Big Brother was already around in 900 AD. For hundreds of years the Church controlled the printing presses and education. Everything which a person was taught, was conditioned, censored, manipulated and distributed by the Church. Advances and discoveries in healing; surgery; science and philosophy were censored, manipulated and often rejected out of hand ,against the interests of humanity, in order to keep the church in power. It has been fairly said that the Church delayed the advent of scientific illuminism by hundreds of years

At one time it was an offence to own a printing press which was not licensed. For a layman Just to possess a bible was punishable by DEATH. For publishing this leaflet I could have been executed for blasphemy. Churchianity wants YOU to do what THEY say for no other reason than for you to do otherwise shakes their own belief in their concreted perceptions of their own way. In order to FRIGHTEN you into submission they will invent all manner of lies and deceit to get you to come to heel. The biggest force of human manipulation after sex is fear and so a whole panoply of EVIL has been identified and amplified by orthodox religion for having invented the fear they can then invent the antidote and have you scrabbling around in the morass of hypocrisy which hallmarks those who do not take responsibility for their own faults and failures.

In our supposedly enlightened times the old superstitions and fears about the Occult still hold the intellect of the general populace in its bigoted grip and the continuing success of New Religious Movements has produced a concerted backlash from fundamentalists and opportunists.It is a little known fact that the church and the Pagan religions co-existed ambivalently for hundreds of years under the church's Canon Episcopi which ruled that Witchcraft was a delusion and, therefore, IT WAS HERESY TO BELIEVE IN IT. The two faiths even shared holy sites and temples and became odd bedfellows for a considerable period. In fact it was the Pagans who SHARED the sites with the early Christians, Witches having pre-emptory claim on the sites by virtue of constant prior use.

This is revealed in the holidays we now also share. All Christian holidays are overlaid upon Pagan holy days and shadow the meanings and activities which were originally Pagan. It is fair to say that the most enjoyable aspects of these festivals to the ordinary person are pagan in origin. In the fourteenth century the church had become so powerful that it began to supress alternative faiths to retain its monopoly and direct attention away from the corruption in its own midst. Various political devices were used by the church to incite hatred and which culminated in the Summis Desiderantes of Innocent VIII which made it unlawful for anyone NOT to believe in Witchcraft as a force for evil and which listed a range of things (all natural ; domestic occurrences) which were supposedly caused by Witchcraft.

This and the profitability of being able to charge the estate of the victims for the tortures perpetrated upon them directly lead to the Witchcraft Mania of the 15th and 16th centuries during which an estimated THIRTEEN MILLION INNOCENT PEOPLE were horribly tortured and murdered in Europe. The vast majority of these people were totally innocent of any involvement with any form of witchcraft. Many of them were Jews. This outrage exceeds in the number of victims the combined crimes of Hitler, Genghis Khan and Polpot and constitutes the largest systematised act of Genocide in the history of the world.

The Burning Times are an erradicable bloodstain on the history of a religion which its prophet hoped would save humanity from itself. It took hundreds of years to overcome the ripples of persecution and prejudice of that era and yet now here we are again with the stridently stupid inciting the insanely ignorant to re-enact those atrocities once more in the name of their version of a love-based religion. Will humankind EVER learn? Will YOU learn to think for yourself, or will you continue to be lead by the nose by the Church and the Media and the opportunists and give them strength by having them parasitically draw power from your emotional reactions?  The 15c Malleus Maleficarum was authorised by the papacy and caused the deaths of millions of innocent people, usually women. You can see further information about this book and how it is even today influencing and promoting misogynist attitudes by going here.

Here Are a Few Facts About Churchianity

All truly religious people have ideals and intents which are one in the same and Original Christianity (free from the heavy handed 'Interpretation' of the Churches) belongs to the same egregore as any other method of personal approach to spirituality. Witches and Christians have a great deal more in common than an onlooker might at first think. The INTERPRETATION of Christianity is as unnecessary as the interpretation of any other religion. Interpretation is a form of arrogance directed at developing an inferiority in those who are not confident enough to stand up for themselves and their own beliefs.

(1) Satanism and Witchcraft are entirely separate beliefs and have nothing whatsoever in common. They should not be confused. Witchcraft may also be termed Neo Paganism; or Shamanism; or Wicca and it is NOT anti-social or evil.

(2) Witches DO NOT worship a devil. The idea of a devil is a Christian concept. To believe in the devil you have to believe in the Christian theology and hence will not be a witch.

Church theologians invented their devil in order to try and explain away the very evident and repetitive occurrences of evil in the world. They did this to stop their converts considering the problem in detail for themselves and realising their own independence as a result. The argument goes this way; If God was all-powerful and all-good then why did he/she/it allow evil to exist? God could not allow evil to exist or calamities to occur if he/she/it was all-good but to make another being responsible for these calamities would reflect that God was not ALL-powerful. A god who is not All-powerful is a contradiction in terms for a monotheistic religion.

It is because of this inherent imbalance in the theology of Churchianity that the Idea of the devil being an Fallen Angel appears. We are supposed to believe that God created the Devil to give mankind a choice but are then told that we do not HAVE a choice for those who do not walk with God are damned. This constant rhetoric hallmarks all organised religions because when it comes to dealing with such cosmological principles the human mind is incapable of knowing the answer; but organised religions have nothing to 'sell' unless they can claim to possess 'the secret of the universe' and so more lies and rhetoric is spawned to disguise their own ignorance.

None of this has anything to do with Witchcraft. Witches realise that the sins of humankind rest individually with the actions of each one of us and seek to improve and develop themselves in better empathy with the planet and all other living creatures in order to evolve the whole. Witches do not project the blame for their own actions or that of others onto a 'devil'; instead they confront their state of being regularly and subsequently they learn and gain understanding of the human condition and so progress spiritually.

(3) Witchcraft is a primeval religion. It sponsors ACCORD with life and love and the planet. It does NOT sponsor discord with any other religion and can exist ambivalently with other beliefs. It has done so for thousands of years. There is no great organisation or world-movement or any political intent surrounding Witchcraft. Each person finds their own way in the scheme of things if it suits their Nature; remember Witches do not proselytise. Far from being ready to undermine society; witchcraft actually gives you the talents to be able to contribute more to that society.

(4) The stereotyped Satanist portrayed in Dennis Wheatley books and Hammer Horror films is NOT an occultist. Such people must be, by qualification, lapsed Christians using a parody of Christian theology. Satanism and Christianity are two poles of the same philosophy; each one needs the other to support their theocracies. Witchcraft on the other hand is entirely independent of this cycle and a belief in Witchcraft cannot be sustained together with the patriarchal world-view which Christianity fosters. When you become a Witch then the hierarchical theological doctrines of Christianity are dispensed with and replaced by a greater understanding of people and the planet itself

.(5) THE BIBLE is held up as Holy Writ; the final, definitive solution and proof of the Word of God. Quotes are taken and interpreted literally and have engineered the deaths of millions of people yet the first bible did not appear until nearly 400 YEARS AFTER the death of Jesus and the bible in its modern form was not compiled until the 14c. How on earth can verbatim quotes of Jesus be trusted when they were written 400 years after his death? At the then current average lifespan at least six generations would have elapsed before the FIRST bible was put together. The Christian bible may well be 90% legend and 10% history. There have been NUMEROUS deletions, additions and even some total fabrications which were included to establish political leverage by the Clergy at various times. The text and the chapters have been juggled like a pack of cards and recent computer research is said to reveal that the Gospels of the disciples were all written by the same hand.

The most accurate rendition of Bible was the King James edition which was built on transliterations of a Greek transliteration which was 'considered' to be the most complete version available in the 14c yet expert scholars argue into the night about the interpretation and meaning and nuances of words. The New English bible is a travesty in translation and is simplified to such a degree it can be considered the Beano of Bibles. When somebody begins to quote Holy Writ as proof that you should do what they say; ask them WHICH Holy Writ they are referring to and WHO wrote it?

The Bible, like all holy books, is a treasurehouse of wisdom for those who can perceive the mysteries contained therein for the wise can judge the intensity and allegory in its message. For those with blind-faith it simply becomes a millstone of indoctrination.

(6) Those who are certain in their beliefs can co-exist with all other beliefs in a just society. True Christians are as expansive and liberal as True Pagans. Only when you come across Christians who are insecure in their beliefs do you find the stereotyped allegations used as a blunt instrument to silence paganism; a belief which is thousands of years older than Christianity and which is the original religious perspective of Britain.

One wonders whether these feeble minded people would gain security if Paganism disappeared overnight; or whether their insecurity would lead them to target yet another non-Christian belief, Sikhism, Hinduism, Islam or Buddhism perhaps? Before long one might be burned at the stake for committing the cardinal sin of choosing the wrong coloured toothpaste.

These are questions everyone involved should contemplate very seriously. What seems to hallmark the new charysmatic churches and fundamentalist Christians is an eagerness to bully. To bully those who are Christians but who don't go to their church; to bully those who are of other beliefs and to bully those of no beliefs.

It is no wonder with this subconscious psychology that more Crimes have been committed against humanity in the name of Christianity than any other religion. If you are a Christian and these facts anger you enough to make you want to bully me then I suggest you consider your own motives very carefully.

Ends.

Extract from SAFF diary:  OCTOBER 31 1988: 4.pm.

A protest group of over 30 fundamentalist Christians assemble
outside the Sorcerer's Apprentice Bookshop in Leeds to protest about Halloween.  They hand out leaflets warning passers by and
customers not to involve themselves in Halloween for fear of God's
wrath.

To counteract this S.A. staff set up their own anti-protest protest and  give out THE DAILY BIBLOS to passers by.   ( Printed copies of The Daily Biblos are thence offered free to all enquirers in return for s.a.e - and made available in quantity at cost for mass distribution).

Christians being thrown to lions

Christians Were Never Thrown To The Lions

“The Myth of Persecution”:


Early Christians weren’t persecuted.
The Romans did not target, hunt or massacre Jesus' followers, says a historian of the early church

In the immediate aftermath of the Columbine High School massacre, a modern myth was born. A story went around that one of the two killers asked one of the victims, Cassie Bernall, if she believed in God.

Bernall reportedly said “Yes” just before he shot her. Bernall’s mother wrote a memoir, titled “She Said Yes: The Unlikely Martyrdom of Cassie Bernall,” a tribute to her daughter’s courageous Christian faith.

Then, just as the book was being published, a student who was hiding near Bernall told journalist Dave  Cullen that the exchange never happened.

Although Candida Moss’ new book, “The Myth of Persecution: How Early Christians Invented a Story of Martyrdom,” is about the three centuries following the death of Jesus, she makes a point of citing this modern-day parallel. What Bernall truly said and did in the moments before her death absolutely matters,

Moss asserts, if we are going to hold her up as a “martyr.” Yet misconceptions and misrepresentations can creep in so soon. The public can get the story wrong even in this highly mediated and thoroughly reported age — and do so despite the presence among us of living eyewitnesses. So what, then, to make of the third-hand, heavily revised, agenda-laden and anachronistic accounts of Christianity’s original martyrs?

Moss, professor of New Testament and early Christianity at the University of Notre Dame, challenges some of the most hallowed legends of the religion when she questions what she calls “the Sunday school narrative of a church of martyrs, of Christians huddled in catacombs out of fear, meeting in secret to avoid arrest and mercilessly thrown to lions merely for their religious beliefs.” None of that, she maintains, is
true.

 In the 300 years between the death of Jesus and the conversion of the Emperor Constantine, there
were maybe 10 or 12 scattered years during which Christians were singled out for supression by Rome’s imperial authorities, and even then the enforcement of such initiatives was haphazard — lackadaisical in many regions, although harsh in others. “Christians were never,” Moss writes, “the victims of sustained, targeted persecution.”

Much of the middle section of “The Myth of Persecution” is taken up with a close reading of the six “so-called authentic accounts” of the church’s first martyrs. They include Polycarp, a bishop in Smyrna during
the second century who was burned at the stake, and Saint Perpetua, a well-born young mother executed in the arena at Carthage with her slave, Felicity, at the beginning of the third century. Moss carefully points
out the inconsistencies between these tales and what we know about Roman society, the digs at heresies that didn’t even exist when the martyrs were killed and the references to martyrdom traditions that had yet to be established. There’s surely some kernel of truth to these stories, she explains, as well as to the first substantive history of the church written in 311 by a Palestinian named Eusebius. It’s just that it’s impossible to sort the truth from the colorful inventions, the ax-grinding and the attempts to reinforce the orthodoxies of a later age.

Moss also examines surviving Roman records. She notes that during the only concerted anti-Christian Roman campaign, under the emperor Diocletian between 303 and 306, Christians were expelled from public offices. Their churches, such as the one in Nicomedia, across the street from the imperial palace, were destroyed. Yet, as Moss points out, if the Christians were holding high offices in the first place and had built their church “in the emperor’s own front yard,” they could hardly have been in hiding away in
catacombs before Diocletian issued his edicts against them.

This is not to deny that some Christians were executed in horrible ways under conditions we’d consider grotesquely unjust. But it’s important, Moss explains, to distinguish between “persecution” and “prosecution.” The Romans had no desire to support a prison population, so capital punishment was common for many seemingly minor offenses; you could be sentenced to be beaten to death for writing a slanderous song.

Moss distinguishes between those cases in which Christians were prosecuted simply
for being Christians and those in which they were condemned for engaging in what the Romans considered subversive or treasonous activity. Given the “everyday ideals and social structures” the Romans regarded as essential to the empire, such transgressions might include publicly denying the divine status of the emperor, rejecting military service or refusing to accept the authority of a court.

In one
of her most fascinating chapters, Moss tries to explain how baffling and annoying the Romans (for whom “pacifism didn’t exist as a concept”) found the Christians — when the Romans thought about them at all. Christians wound up in Roman courts for any number of reasons, but when they got there, they were prone to announcing, as a believer named Liberian once did, “that he cannot be respectful to the emperor, that he can be respectful only to Christ.” Moss compares this to “modern defendants who say that they will not recognize the authority of the court or of the government, but recognize only the authority of God.

For modern Americans, as for ancient Romans, this sounds either sinister or vaguely insane.” It didn’t help that early Christians developed a passion for martyrdom. Suffering demonstrated both the piety of the martyr and the authenticity of the religion itself, and besides, it earned you an immediate, first-class seat in heaven. (Ordinary Christians had to wait for Judgment Day.)

There were reports of fanatics deliberately
seeking out the opportunity to die for their faith, including a mob that turned up at the door of a Roman official in Asia Minor, demanding to be martyred, only to be turned away when he couldn’t be bothered to
oblige them.


Moss cannot be called a natural or fluent writer, but she is thorough, strives for clarity and is genuinely fired up in her concern for the influence of the myth of martyrdom on Western societies. “The idea of the persecuted church is almost entirely the invention of the 4th century and later,” she writes. This was, significantly, a period during which the church had become “politically secure,” thanks to Constantine.

Yet,
instead of providing a truthful account of Christianity’s early years, the scholars and clerics of the fourth century cranked out tales of horrific, systemic violence. These stories were subtly (and not so subtly) used as propaganda against heretical ideas or sects. They also made appealingly gruesome  entertainment for believers who were, personally, fairly safe; Moss likens this to contemporary suburbanites reveling in a horror film.

Today, polemicists continue to use the deeply ingrained belief in a persecuted — and therefore morally righteous — church as a political club to demonize their opponents. Moss sees a direct link between the valorization of martyrs and preposterous right-wing rhetoric about the “war on Christianity.” It’s a tactic that makes compromise impossible. “You cannot collaborate with someone who is persecuting you,” Moss astutely points out. “You have to defend yourself.”

Where she is less shrewd is in her belief that by exposing the “false history of persecution,” we can somehow purge this paranoid approach to political differences.

One of the most enlightening aspects of
“The Myth of Persecution” is Moss’ ability to find contemporary analogies that make the ancient world more intelligible to the average reader, such as the Cassie Bernall story. But that story has an additional lesson to offer, about the true believer’s imperviousness to unpalatable facts. Bernall’s family and church are unmoved by the schoolmates who were present at the shooting and who have debunked the “She said yes” legend. “You can say it didn’t happen that way,” the Bernalls’ pastor told one reporter, “but the church won’t accept it. To the church, Cassie will always say yes, period.”

The Book Your Church Don't Want You To Read

THE BOOK YOUR CHURCH DOESN'T WANT YOU TO READ.

In this stunning book, you will find that the story of ]esus and the "crucifiction" has been played out sixteen times over the last ten thousand years.

You are also going to find ideas about religion that the Pope and other religious leaders don’t want you to read or understand. Because if you do read and understand, you will no longer be a part of their group.

What this means is that you will no longer provide them with funds, and you will no longer be a number which will give them political clout....

.... Religion, more than politics and economics, kills and cripples humankind. There has never in all known history been a genocide of any kind which was not fueled by religion.....

There are three major changes under way now in the affairs of all  mankind. . We are beginning to see the end of a long—established economic tyranny, which for centuries has gripped the affairs of nations. To these we add religion, the most crippling detriment of them all to the evolution of humankind. All of these changes are coming as we enter the "new age", now upon us. This book addresses itself most admirably to this vital effort.

Bill jenkins, former ABC talk show host.

The Book Your Church Doesn't Want You To Read:  Examines every single foundation stone of the orthodox churches and lays bare the lies and deceit which they have used to control their followers for centuries. It was all lies. All of it. Almost everything you were taught to accept and believe is false.

The Bible-Basher Defence System.

B.B.D.S. = BIBLE BASHER DEFENSE SYSTEM : THE ALTERNATIVE BIBLE CONCORDANCE

An antidote to Scriptural Terrorism
By Fra. ABSALHEVADA

During the current "Decade of Evangelism" liberal folk are being faced with Christian missionaries persistently visiting our homes and causing local and
national controversies over scriptural dictums . Their ultimate authority is the bible which these groups insist is the exact word of God. But is the bible the exact word of God? Use the B.B.D.S. to find out and stop the Scriptural Terrorists from brow-beating you!

THREE EASY STEPS TO ACTIVATE YOUR B.B.D.S.:

1) Obtain your own personal copy of the KING JAMES EDITION of the Bible (second-hand bookshops usually have plenty of copies for a few pence a throw).

2) Using the index provided find each reference quoted and circle the verse in red ink, writing in the cross-reference to the contradiction. Do this for the entire index. YOU NOW HAVE AN ANTI-BIBLE BASHER KIT which you can use to protect yourself if they come knocking at your door.

3) When the missionaries call ask them if they really believe the bible to be entirely God's word. Take your BBDS bible and go through the index, get the bible bashers to read out the offensive and contradicting verses from their own bible and counter it with YOURS. Ask them again; is this bible really the word of God???

FURTHER USES OF THE BBDS: Photocopy this leaflet, go to your local library and insert one copy in each book in the Theology section. Distribute more copies to minorities at risk from Scriptural Terrorism (ie. Sikhs, Hindus, Jews, Pagans, Bahais, Spiritualists, Buddhists etc). Send copies of the leaflet to interested organisations and magazines. Deliver door to door in your neighbourhood when the fundamentalists leaflet the area. When a Bible-Basher writes to the local paper quoting scripture - write to contradict him/her with extracts from the BBDS.
