STAND AND DELIVER

John Stone

 

 

Every Sunday in churches all over the world, pastors, preachers, and priests pass the collection plate, and without asking, Christians reach in their pockets and purses and place money into the “collection plate.”

 

Why do these congregations do this so automatically without questioning?

 

Because many of them, in their Bible-intoxicated mentality, were taught that every word in their bible was sent by God (Jesus, Hashem, Allah etc] itself, and for them to skip over all the lies, errors, and mistranslations and take every word the authors wrote literally. All of this is done in ignorance without knowledge the Early Church Fathers (Eusebius) admitted altering the same bible they are reading, to fit into Eusebius’ own agenda of what he thought the man-god Jesus should be.

So, when missionaries come knocking on your front door, here is a tried and true formula to effectively deal with them once and for all. Remember; don't do this to a religiholic unless they approach you first.

I will set out the applicable Christian scriptures, right from their Christian Bible1 [New International Version (NIV)]:

Luke 6
30
Give to everyone who asks you, and if anyone takes what belongs to you, do not demand it back

Matthew 5:42
42 Give to the one who asks you, and do not turn away from the one who wants to borrow from you.

Matthew 5:39-42
39 But I tell you, Do not resist an evil person2. If someone strikes you on the right cheek, turn to him the other also. 40 And if someone wants to sue you and take your tunic, let him have your cloak as well. 41If someone forces you to go one mile, go with him two miles. 42  Give to the one who asks you, and do not turn away from the one who wants to borrow from you.

These are the scriptures I ask the religiholic/missionary to read aloud after I ask them if their holy bible is the word of their god. Here is the sequence:

Ask the missionary to read the Matthew verses (Matthew 5:39-42), then ask if they believe this advice.

If they say "no,” ask them why you should believe anything they are not willing to believe. If they don't believe it, suggest they find a religion they can believe.

If they say "yes" and then try to launch into some sermon about giving charity; break in and ask them to give you all their money. Beg from them, their money.

If they give it to you, ask for their wallet and their watch. Then show them the door.

If they want you to return the property to them, advise them that Luke says they're not allowed to ask for it back—ask them to read Luke 6 aloud. Then you may make this offer; that you'll give it all back if they admit this is stupid doctrine.

If they do admit is it stupid, return the property and advise them to stop believing in a fictitious Invisible Man in the Sky.

If they refuse to admit how stupid it is to give one's property away to strangers, you can slam the door, look through the loot, keep what you want, throw away what you don't want or give it all to charity (after all, they GAVE it to you, now it is yours)

If they come back later after this encounter, remind them that Luke and Matthew say they are not allowed to ask for their (former) things back, even if sued in a court of law. And add, "By the way, give me all the money, in your bank account and your car keys, too please." After all, whatever is asked of him, he must give and twice as much as well.

Religiholics/missionaries will either leave you alone, or you will make a living at their expense.
