I was asked a couple of questions that I answered below. I thought this might be interesting to you.
Question one: Why do you seem to question a religion that our entire system of time is based on the death of Christ?
Question two: In your work you mention that many of the evil acts committed by people are supported in the Bible and by the vengeful and violent acts of God. Can you back up this claim with evidence of the scriptures that would do this?
Where did the calendar for BC and AD come from?
Answer: Pope Gregory XIII was born in 1502 and died in 1585. He carried out the reform of the Julian calendar. In 1582 he issued a decree dropping 10 days from the calendar which is now known as the Gregorian Calendar and today it serves as an international standard for civil use. In addition, it regulates the ceremonial cycle of the Christian Churches. In fact, its original purpose was ecclesiastical. However, this calendar still requires intercalation (inserting). There must be a leap day or a leap second at times in order to bring the calendar back into sync with the vernal equinox. Although a variety of other calendars are in use today, they are restricted to particular religions or cultures. The start of this calendar at the death of Christ was nothing more than a guess, as there was no evidence or record of the date in any historical or biblical account.
Here are pages and pages of examples of a not so loving god and a not so holy bible that teaches people not to be so good...
According to the Bible, if any of your loved ones talk of serving other gods what should you do?
Answer: (You must kill them.) “If your brother, the son of your father or of your mother, or your son or daughter, or the spouse whom you embrace, or your most intimate friend, tries to secretly seduce you, saying, ‘Let us go and serve other gods,’ unknown to you or your ancestors before you, whether near you or far away, anywhere throughout the world, you must not consent, you must not listen to him; you must show him no pity, you must not spare him or conceal his guilt. No, you must kill him, your hand must strike the first blow in putting him to death and the hands of the rest of the people following. You must stone him to death, since he has tried to divert you from Yahweh your God… (Deuteronomy 13:7-11)
Savagely beating another person with a weapon is a sin, unless you stop just before your victim dies and the victim is:
Answer: (Either one of your servants or your own child.) “And if a man smite his servant, or his maid, with a rod, and he die under his hand; he shall be surely punished. Notwithstanding, if he continue a day or two, he shall not be punished: for he is his money” (Exodus 21:20-21). “Withhold not correction from the child: for if thou beatest him with the rod, he shall not die. Thou shalt beat him with the rod, and shalt deliver his soul from hell” (Proverbs 23:13-14).
Killing someone is a sin unless your victim is:
Answer: A Wicca -- (A Wicca is a person in an Indian religion that worships nature), a stranger who has the nerve to approach you, or a virgin in the city. “Thou shalt not suffer a witch to live” (Exodus 22:1). “But those that encamp before the tabernacle toward the east, even before the tabernacle of the congregation eastward, shall be Moses, and Aaron and his sons, keeping the charge of the sanctuary for the charge of the children of Israel; and the stranger that cometh nigh shall be put to death” (Numbers 3:3). “If a damsel that is a virgin be betrothed unto an husband, and a man find her in the city, and lie with her; Then ye shall bring them both out unto the gate of that city, and ye shall stone them with stones that they die; the damsel, because she cried not, being in the city; and the man, because he hath humbled his neighbour’s wife: so thou shalt put away evil from among you” (Deuteronomy 22:23-24).
