We live in perilous times as anyone who browses the Internet can readily see. The many crises we face are largely the results of our own foolish actions throughout recorded history. Our thesis in The Time of the End - Announcing the Millennium is that much of our trouble stems from a warped view of reality, much of it fostered and maintained by organized religion. Our aim is not to attack anyone but rather to present a saner, fact based, and understandable view of God, the world we live in ( Purgatory ), and where we are headed.
Just to settle the matter of the Millennium: it's here. At one minute past midnight, December 31, 2000, all hell didn't break loose as the Ignorant have taught the easily convinced to believe. In fact the Church of Rome and its recalcitrant spin-offs have been predicting the end of the world for centuries. It hasn't happened yet and won't for about two billion years more, but that doesn't mean that we aren't in the end times.
The question is; the end of what?
We believe it should be the end of; wars, rumors of wars, the desecration of our lovely planet; the ignorance, superstition, and apathy, that promote divisiveness among ourselves, largely due to the polyglot religious beliefs that infect the souls of many. Where religion should bring people together in common cause, it has instead served to drive men apart.
Recognize the fellow at the top of this page? Kind of looks like Jesus; no? Of course it could be God getting his beard tweaked by the nearly nude nymphet. But wait! The Roman Church tells us that Jesus is God; so what's the difference? Either way this is a mighty presence, designed to scare the daylights out of you unless, that is, you've been "saved". But if you haven't, look out!
This God/Jesus is sitting on his throne judging us, even though Jesus told us to "Judge not lest ye be judged." That's a contradiction, one of many in the Church's teachings, and that kind of spoils the whole concept, so let's just ignore it. We mustn't let facts get in the way of "faith".
Actually, the guy on the throne in the picture is Zeus, the Greek god of Olympus, the template that the Church used to create God in the image and likeness of man. This "God" has so many flaws of character that if a man demonstrated these same pathologies, he would be locked up in an asylum.
The Millennium is here alright. Just a reminder: a millennium is a thousand years, and we have barely scratched the surface of this one. With some 992 years to go, the propects look pretty dim. But there is hope, and that's what our effort is all about. Visit the website;
and see what you think. You might like it once you get into it. And if you don't agree with it, that's fine! We won't set fire to you.
