An Epiphany

Well…I wrote this book because I had an epiphany.

I was raised in a moderately religious environment. Consequently, I was accustomed to reading the Bible. However, as with most Christians, I was only familiar with those passages that my pastor had instructed me to review. Then one day, I came across a strange few verses in the scriptural text.

I was reading about the Great Flood in the book of Genesis (chapters 6-9).

“You are to bring into the ark two of all living creatures, male and female, to keep them alive with you. Two of every kind of bird, of every kind of animal and of every kind of creature that moves along the ground will come to you to be kept alive.” (Ge 6:19, 20)

As everyone knows, when Noah set sail, he took two of every kind of bird along for the ride. That wasn’t the revelation that I’m speak of. It was in the next chapter that I was surprised by what I read.

“Take with you seven of every kind of clean animal, a male and its mate, and two of every kind of unclean animal, a male and its mate, and also seven of every kind of bird, male and female, to keep their various kinds alive throughout the earth.” (Ge 7:2, 3)

I flipped back to Ge 6:19-20 and read it again. Then I read Ge 7:2-3 again. I said to myself, “Something is wrong here. I thought that the Word of God had no contradictions, no mistakes.” But there, before my own eyes, was an irrefutable discrepancy in the text.

It was this single inconsistency in the text which inspired me to examine the Bible from front to back in search of other such oddities. I quickly realized that the Scriptures are riddled with so many wild, wacky oddities that it leaves one questioning how in the hell anyone could possibly “put his faith” in the Bible. But then, people don’t actually put their faith in the Bible. They put their faith in the teachings of the Church.

After eight long years of research, I have concluded that unfortunately, the teachings of the Church are only very, very, very loosely based on the Bible.

I won’t lie to you, upon coming to this amazing realization, I got angry. I got really fucking angry. I immediately asked myself the question: “Has the wool been pulled down over my eyes? Why didn’t anyone tell me about all of this? Did they think that I couldn’t handle it? Or did they themselves not know about these things which I was learning?”

I gave my pastors the benefit of the doubt. I chose to assume that they were unaware that Christian theology is merely mythology.

I felt compelled to expose this great deception to the world. The world needs to know what I have discovered. This is not a task I have taken lightly. As I expect to absorb countless attacks from religious zealots, I have gone to great lengths to ensure that my position is not readily vulnerable to rebuttal.

Thus, I have made sure that both of my books provide absolute irrefutable proof that Christianity is based on lies. It’s all a bunch of evil fucking lies!
