The Threat of God's Wrath is a Terror Tactic Made up by Organized Religion

I don't believe there is a Satan. I do understand the concept of Satan. I’ll even agree that the utility of the concept has a certain value. As a threat. As a way to understand God by the comparison of a contrary argument. I recognize that some people want to expect balance in all things. Wanting something does not make it so.

God does not need Satan. Only people think that somehow God needs Satan. God's Plan is thorough without Satan. God's gift of free will to us seeds enough evil in the world through the choices we humans make, without a head cheerleader or downs keeper for evil and sin. If God needed Satan, then God is diminished.

Satan's chief utility is as a symbol. It has been used by humans to control human behavior. It is a terror tactic. Be good, or Boojum will get you in the night. Be good, do as I tell you, or Satan will take your soul to Hell forever. Terror tactics.

Humans love to be scared. It is fun. That is why many people enjoy horror movies and amusement park rides.

Here’s an easy rule of thumb that you can use to your benefit. When you are told that you are going to Hell; it is past the time when you should have gotten the Hell away from that person, place, and institution.

Hell does not exist. I do not believe that God's Wrath exists. God has nothing to get upset about. The Earth and everything on it belongs to Him. The Earth is a system created by Him for His Purposees. You are a part of that Purpose. How you deal with the conditions here is part of what God wants to know. You are a part of His Experiment. You are a speck of "fuzz' in God's Petri Dish.

Your survival is up to you. Those that say God's Wrath does exist, or say that they believe that it does exist, are using terror tactics against you. They are terrorists in the truest meaning of that word. Their objective is to use terror to achieve their own ends. You could not be convinced to their way of thought by other methods. This terror tactic, “You’re going to Hell.”, or "God's Wrath", is the last fall back position before a resort to violence.

These people do not know, or ignore the original concept of Hell: being out of the presence of God. That's it. Out of the presence of God. Like being on Earth.

These people may literally kill you, actually believing that they are doing you a favor. They might believe that they are sending you to Hell. There is no difference between this attitude and behavior and an extortionist’s threat to fire bomb your home and your children if you do not pay up. It doesn’t cost much to kill you, and you will serve as a “good lesson” for the next mark.

The issue is control. Who is it that controls you? Who controls your behavior, wealth, and even thoughts? If your behavior can be controlled, you have also given away your control over your wealth and your thoughts. Then, what are you? Answer: a slave. You have become a slave to someone else’s belief system. Your worth, your value has been established and noted in terms of monetary cash flow and hours of free labor per year.

Now, it is simple, allocate your value in cash to any one of the many line items of operating expenses for a unit of organized religion, and also allocate your value in hours of free labor as a cost control for that or another line item according to your training and skills.

Whenever you are asked to suspend your sense of credulity. When you are asked to give up your reason. When you are asked to just believe. "Believe me." When you are asked to just have faith. "Have Faith." Whenever the mealy-mouthed hairsplitters start their artistry. Whenever the words, sentences, and paragraphs of the language artists are not crystal clear. When a message is not simple and understandable – you are in the wrong place. All that is left for you to do is to leave. Vote with your feet.

The test is simple. If what is said doesn’t make sense to you, it probably isn’t sensible.

Someone is straining to convince you that a gnat is a gnu. And it just isn’t so! A tiny fly is not an antelope!

Either, an attempt at a deliberate lie is being made, or the speaker may be self-deluded, or brainwashed, indoctrinated, to the point that his/her mind does not function properly.

A specific case in point. When you ask a question, "How could words, which were written thirty, forty, or fifty, or more years after an event actually happened, be the exact words spoken at the event? Especially if at the event one language was spoken, and the words were written in another quite different language?" If you are answered, “The writer was divinely inspired by the Holy Spirit”. This is simply unreasonable. It also cannot be challenged. The only thing divinely inspired was that answer.

Especially when there is specific written evidence that deliberate falsehoods were planned for this aforementioned translation process. It is a position of delusion, or it is a deliberate lie, and represents a position afraid of examination. Only those who are unsure of their own faith need fear reasoned questions.

More, we know exactly when the concept “Holy Spirit” was invented! This is called the Nicene Creed, invented in Nicaea in A. D. 325 at the order of the Emperor Constantine, ruler of the Roman Empire. The Nicene Creed embraces a trinity, or three parts of God. Which was the subject of much debate at that time.

It is important to remember that at this time in human history, mathematics was a great mystery. It had religious importance. There were secret religious societies, cults, passwords, handshakes, and limited memberships. Another kind of little boy's club in a different "tree house".

The number three was thought to be especially powerful and important for several reasons: (a) the stability and strength of the tripod; (b) the close relationship to the geometric pi (3.1416) ( ). Three being sufficient for rough approximations and of great use in constructions of the triumph of Roman architecture – arches!; (c) and because three was considered to be a “male” number. Yes, honestly, "three" was sexual and male.

Write the number three, the digit, turned, with all points down. Imagine a nude man crawling away from you. Crude, stupid, perverse, and fairly typical male chauvinism. I know it seems childish, but it existed then, and it exists now.

Examine the current nomenclature for plumbing and electrical hardware parts today. There are male and female parts, male plugs, female sockets, male threads, female threads, and nipples are all over the place! From their words alone, one could think plumbers and electricians were sex mad.

Here's the reasoning: Three is a powerful male number. God is a powerful male. A powerful God has three parts. (Legs?) God is a Trinity. God is the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. The Nicene Creed. Remember that this was still the Roman Empire. Most saw and understood on a daily basis the emphasis on very large male phalluses in art, signs, carvings, and utensils in daily use.

God's wrath is a terror tactic made up by humans. God is not wrathful, or angry, or even mildly irritated at anything you do. Why should He be? He has got you. You are His. You are trapped on His planet with no place to go. You cannot get away. You cannot even throw a good prison riot. He will learn from your actions. He knows that whatever you do, He will learn from you.
