Dear,
Genetically Modified Skeptic

I've looked at all the same evidence as you. I'm well versed in evolution. Well versed in modern science. I find a completely different conclusion. Here's why.

First off---and you can watch the Yale Lecture---they describe what the Bible actually says. Kind of verbatim. That Abraham was one of the first people to have direct revelation from God, and he lived in Mesopotamia, so why does this "Cult of Righteousness" spring up in Mesopotamia? Around the time of the making of Hammurabi's code. The Biblical genealogies place Abraham right at that time period, which would be less of a miracle, if it didn't do that two other times. Some scholarship even goes so far as to identify that God had a son---so, it can reasonably be assumed that the Trinity was always worshipped. What's even more spooky, is that Jews in th centuries leading up to Christ knew that God had a Son, and predicted His Son would be the Messiah. Even more spooky than that, is that Zechariah names the Messiah as Joshua, which if you know anything about Jesus' name, Jesus is the Greek form of Joshua. So, the Bible kind of names Jesus to be the Messiah. And we have evidence that the Trinity was worshipped, even as far back as Mesopotamia.

Second, Moses' lineage lines up right with the cult of Aten. You can do the math. And some other historical facts line up with that, too, which I was reading in my Dad's textbooks. It mysteriously vanished recently from textbooks, to where you're taught now that the Jews basically were a creation of Persia by some crazy prophet named Isaiah II. Which, certainly, cannot be true because we have historical records of Judah existing in the Tel Dan Stele, and the Nebuchadnezzar Chronicles. So, really, it ought to be established fact that the Jews, specifically Judah, existed prior to Babylonian Captivity. As the whole biblical minimalism movement hinges on that. And, frankly, it's not true. What is true, is that the Jews forgot their religion several times. It's recorded in scripture, which can only be a historical account of a people. Certain details show up such as the Bronze Serpent or the King's lineage which stays pretty consistent through the whole of the Bible. The Genealogy in Matthew lines up with the King's Genealogy in the book of Kings. And before you contest that fact, may I remind you that I read the Book of Kings, and can use the Kings to orient myself in the Biblical timeframe. For instance, when the King is Hezekiah or Joash, when reading the prophets, it annotes two very different time periods. And that same Genealogy I use every day to orient myself in Biblical time. The fact that it is so accurate---with some minor problems, but I don't think the Bible ought to be perfect, as then men would worship it and not God, which kind of is the problem facing modern Christianity today---that I find the Genealogical accounts to be about 99.9% accurate. In modern manuscripts, where the Genealogies are accounted and updated, the only error in the Gospel of Matthew is "Admin.", which really isn't that much. I think the Bible gets a lot more right than it gets wrong, and really, the only things it does get wrong are factoids, which accounting for the overwhelming amount of things it gets right about human sociology and psychology, and even details and predictions, it's pretty much a mystery as to how it cannot be accepted as the Word of God. As, the reason why Moses lining up with the cult of Aten is important, is that the Pharaoh randomly decided to convert to monotheism for no apparent reason. In my estimate, it's probably because he saw the Red Sea Parted and the firstborn child of every Egyptian die.

Third, there's the fact that the Bible tells us a lot about Prehistory. It gets a lot of details right. I heard it claimed in some circles that Babylon never existed. That's an actual theory floating around, just as absurd as Jesus never existing. But, let me tell you why I know Jesus existed. First off, the Vatican contains His death certificate, which said, "He who claimed to be the King of the Jews." I know someone who saw it first hand. And, there's also records of his census. And, then there's some textual evidence that Jesus lived. Namely, that Jesus sweat blood which is an actual medical condition, and that Jesus had a heart attack on the cross. The water flowing from His wound was the water sack surrounding his internal organs, which is pretty accurate, and confirms that Jesus did in fact die. Now, we know he raised because the religion's still around. Men don't actively die for a lie. The apostles who saw Him resurrected were willing to be burned, impaled and crucified to keep that testimony.

Then, theres the predictions the Bible gets right. Namely, Psalm 22, Psalm 2, Isaiah 53, Jeremiah 31. If you account for prehistory, the Torah even predicts Babylonian Captivity and Isaiah predicts Cyrus would restore Israel to Zion. Which, given that Isaiah 53 is in the Dead Sea Scrolls, it's almost a certain that those prophecies weren't edited in later on, but actually existed.

And for the Bible being a bunch of Sumerian myths---really, that's impossible. The more probably truth is the Sumerian myths were sourced from earlier material, and that earlier material became the reference point for Moses when He wrote down the Torah.

Yes, the Bible is God's word. It's not perfect, and that's why you need to have a relationship with God, because only by that relationship will you be able to be a good person. You cannot be a good person without God's help. That's what the Gospel teaches. There's no way to be forgiven without the Blood of Jesus, and there's no way to walk in accordance with Truth unless you have God shepherding you. As Tolstoy said, "It's not given to people to judge what's right or wrong. People have eternally been mistaken, an din nothing more than in what they consider right and wrong." This is why Christ needs to be our teacher and shepherd. Because a few geniuses like Mozi, Confucius, Lao Tsu, Aristotle, Plato, Maimonedes, Socrates etc. have found bits and pieces of truth. But I adjure you to find a place that has more truth than the Bible does. Even the verses on Genocide speak truth, that some cultures are irredeemable, but let God damn them, and not man; let God give the command on when it's ethical to go to war, and let no man be given that burden. That's the highest command in scripture, is to allow Christ be the judge, and not ourselves.

Happiness Machines

Arguing what might be my last debate
With an old, friend who taught me
The value of listening...

He brought me to a documentary of a king
Who sought to silence our Shadows through art---
The very worst he did was endorse smoking cigarettes.

I agreed with him, the methods employed
Could be used to the population's detriment;
I even agreed that the frustration created by
Social engineers was wrong.

I agreed with him those very psychoanalytic
Methods employed by Bernays could be used to cause great harm.
I agreed to the last breath of agreement...

But, to say that Freud's nephew was a bad man
I could not. He made prominent his uncle---
Well, literally made his theories famous,
Enriched the United States population
Along with himself in everything he did;
He enriched his uncle....
I could not agree on that point.
I could agree on everything else we talked about
But when I got to the bottom of the issue,
I would rather rich men be like Bernays
Seeking to bring everyone else up to their level
Than be like Soros and bring everyone down. 

Poetry Is

My love,
You said, "Poetry is an expression of self."
Yet, your words can say, "Poetry is an expression of say."
Written in my copy are your notes.

Poets are a window into man's soul---
They draw forth wisdom from men
To know their hearts and whims.
They are a looking glass---
While you have Narcissus underlined
The narcissistic task of poetry
Is used by men like me to find treasures
Of the human heart.
To know others as well as I know myself.

My poetry is to know myself and my fallibilities.
Not to reveal my heart to itself,
But to reveal the truths I have witnessed.
My whole life I have wandered the world
Searching for truth---
I have written down every truth I can find.
I am uninterested in my heart revealing itself---
I want to see, rather, the external world in my poetry.
I want to see it in the conflict,
In my characters,
Do derive the truth.

I have come close to perfecting a system for discovering truth.
It is found in the Logos---
As your words read in truth,
"Poetry is the expression of say."
That is the highest form of poetry.
For if poetry is an expression of the self,
Then it is worthless,
But if poetry expresses "Say"
Then it is truly of the noblest truths
That it finds the truth
And expresses it with perfection.

Good poetry is not internal.
It is external.
Good poetry is not selfish.
It is a purging of selfishness.
It is done for the soul purpose
Of finding, and preserving,
The truth.
So it is not forgotten.
So ethos and pathos and logos
Do not pass away,
And men can understand the past;
And thereby, form a better future.

Yes, the Bible has all revelation
But expression of the truth
In any source it comes
Is valuable.
For I use poetry to know.
Not to know myself.

The Farting Angels

Mega Church pastors speculate on spiritual beings
Doing fleshly things, like texting on phones and farting
Before God's throne room.
There's a silliness to this, which betrays their vision of God.
Do I believe that Jesus may have farted with the Apostles?
Most certainly, but Jesus had a flesh body---
Erby, He passed gas. Angels, by reason of their being spiritual
Do not fart--- nor can they, otherwise they'd have a flesh body
Again.

The disorder of it, that we think of God's holy throne as a riotous
Circus, rather than a holy place, is blasphemy.
Jesus certainly had a sense of humor---
And being that He was God manifested in the Flesh,
It's very possible that Jesus farted and laughed.
I see nothing sinful in meditating on that---
But, in God's Holy Throne, where no flesh can penetrate;
Where there are spirits and sanctity,
There couldn't be such a thing.

Rather, it is the idol put in place by Bethel
Of a Jolly God, who bumbles like one of the stooges
Jolly and filled with bouncing like a cartoon.
This is not the God I worship.
The God I worship sent plagues into Egypt,
And crucified His Son.
He is very serious---
Loving, but sober.
He is not a man, nor are His angels.
The Son has resurrected flesh
Which does not subsist on fleshly foods now
But on Holy foods.
Therefore, what Bethel is teaching
Is not God, but an idol created by hands.

Logos

A dog is called a dog
It is called a perro
It is called a Hund
It is called an ur.
The Logos is what makes it a dog.

The old ancient myth of the Elephant
Where five blind men touched it
And speculated on what it was,
One blind man thought it was a snake
Because he touched its tail;
One blind man thought it was a tree,
Because he touched its leg;
One blind man thought it was a rope
Because he touched its trunk;
And one man thought it was a stone
Because he touched its trunk.
The Logos is when you stand back
And see it is an elephant which the blind man touches.

Also, there is what is just
And there is what is unjust.
The Logos is what is just.

White Guilt?

The White Race has advanced humans
To the place we are today.
Primarily, because we occupied the most fertile lands,
The climate required us to innovate to survive,
Was warm enough at the right times to cultivate farming
And was resource rich enough, and had access enough,
To the ocean so we could build ships.
It also was the culture that adopted Chrisitanity
Which is the most advanced system of morals
Considering it is the only true system of morals.

If Blacks occupied Europe---
Which they certainly could---
They would have done all that whites did
Good and evil.
As, the Aztecs were far more advanced than Europe was
In certain regards---
But, Europe had one thing which made it advance past the Aztecs.
And that was constant wars amongst itself
And the desert kingdoms to the south.
It also had Christianity, which benevolently taught
White culture mercy.
Blacks, having all the same systems---
Would certainly have created an enlightenment
Would certainly have coupled Christian morality
With Rational Empiricism.
Certainly, Blacks would have been the ones
Who owned whites as slaves.

Humans are not different from one another---
Land, religion, oceans, forests, soil content
How much a culture must war to survive,,
These all cultivate in cultures similar ideas
And patterns, for those patterns exist to be discovered.

And because those patterns exist to be discovered
It necessitates that human beings, 
Given the philosophical background,
Will all do similar things based on those conditions.
Whereby, culture is dictated by the soil
And the culture's religion.

However, there is a certain cruelty in white civilization now
That hadn't existed in the past.
It is the same barbarism found in the Norse Gods
The same animistic tendencies----
They are divorced from Christianity
Thereby, are regressing into their natural state
Which is total barbarism.
As, given unlimited resources
And no moral authority
A culture indulges in every vice known to man.
And then it tries to say that vice is what brings about happiness.
What ultimately happens,
Until the whole world is itself unjust and wicked,
Another culture comes and sweeps the previous culture under the rug.
To which, White Civilization is regressing into barbarism as we speak
Which, much like the Norse, could only steal from other cultures
The sustenance, and had no recourse to sustaining itself.
Thus, the natural state of White Culture is piracy.
At our highest, is the Enlightenment and Christianity coupled
Into a force which built the happiest civilizations in history.
Without them, I don't believe freedom can exist.

I Affirm Christianity

I affirm Christianity
Because it affirms what's good about life.

I do not believe Rome converted to Christianity
Because Constantine decided it would be best
If the state were Christian.
Rather, rampant hedonism existed at that time
And men wanted an ascetic religion.
They chose Christianity
Because it affirmed there was a place for pleasure;
And that life is good, and that man and creation are not accidents.

The core of my Christianity is the liberty
I have to enjoy this Earth;
Yet, I see it is sin which steals from me that liberty.
I'm quite odd that way.
Many I talk to see the asceticism of Christianity
And find it abhorrent;
Yet, I've wrung my lips with hedonism
And chafed my throat with its burning liquor.
I lived a licentious life
And found nothing equal to the serenity I have today.

Thereby, Julian tried to turn the kingdom back to Greek Fables
But, Christ was found superior to all of it.

Yes

Though the Brandon you referred to
Is not me,
Yes, I believe that a Fetus
Has equal the value of a human life.

How, though, logically,
Does that make me pro choice?
Your reasoning doesn't make any sense.

I saw you on Ben Shapiro's Video.
I'm Brandon, you addressed me.
Whoever is out in the public,
That certainly is not me.

I'm starting to believe that Doppelganger thing is true.
