Went to a Christian retreat: felt more like a combination of cult worship with blatant corporate adverts

Went to a retreat over the weekend, and holy crap, I never realized just how commercialized these events are. They had a guy come from a really big Christian company, explaining the perils of running a business. Did he answer any questions about Christianity within a business environment? Fuck no! It was just a massive advertisement for his company. That's all it was, just an hour long seminar on buying his shit mixed with some Bible verses. Did I want to hear it? Not really. But as is tradition, I get dragged to these events by family, so why not at least have some fun with their content.

My friend even made fun of me about this, he said that organized religion and me simply dont mix. You can not mix a free thinking individual, with whatever the fuck it is I witnessed. What makes these events so funny to me, is they constantly clamor about not labelling Christianity ... and yet within 5 minutes i can predict the ENTIRE sermon of what someone will say, because I properly labelled the core theological principal used. And its true, most modern day pastors all went to the same schools, learned the same concepts, applied the same approaches. There is very little to ZERO difference between two modern day pastors.

And of course odinism made its way into the conversation because god forbid these neo marxist pastors ever look into WHY people are rejecting the modern day church. I can't imagine odinism is THAT popular, but the rejection of the modern church has nothing to do with odinism. Dont matter, most pastors will just mix the two together. God forbid the people Christian pastors have been shitting on for 50+ years grow a backbone and actually try to fix a problem. Best to do jack fuck and sit there whilst your enemy kills you.

Americans weren't church goers until the 1800's. They were rural and had a Bible in their home.

All those sects that sprang up under the Protestant label were Old Testament which contains no Christianity.

In 1910, the General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church identified what became known as the five fundamentals;

Biblical inspiration and the infallibility of scripture as a result of this.

Virgin birth of Jesus

Belief that Christ's death was the atonement for sin

Bodily resurrection of Jesus

Historical reality of the miracles of Jesus.


"They rejected the existence of commonalities with theologically related religious traditions, such as the grouping of Christianity, Islam, and Judaism into one Abrahamic family of religions."

That's all a fundamentalist is defined as. The 501C non profit bribery open preachers are as you say, universally trained and universally money oriented, a sin. "The love of money is the root of all kinds of evil"

Sin simply means in error of the philosophy.

To be a Protestant all one has to do is read one of the four evangels; Matthew Mark, Luke or John. They ether accept or reject it.

In all religions, the words of the prophet are all there really is, every thing else is personal opinion. The Prophets have to be dead for their words to remain unchangeable, and the control remain with the believer, and not the church leader or the people writing commentary about them.

People go to church for the community and if the community isn't restricted to your neighbourhood it's not effective in building a cohesive community. It's another reason Odin isn't going to be adopted, besides what words Odin left that wouldn't just be some schmuck's owned by jews, like so many pastors and communist priests.

The new age religion came through media and marketing and new agers have to check with the media every day to know what their prophet says.

THe Darwin fish bumper sticker is an example. The Christian fish symbol with feet and th word evolution. Millions bought t as a sign of their intellectual superiority and their fatuous and spurious assumption that Christians don't believe in evolution. They invented Western empirical science the jews and their communist cult in China are at war against.

TH Darwin fish bumper sticker was invented by Al Seckel, Jeffry Epstein's good buddy and Ghislain Maxwell's brother in law. THe marketing of it was by the jew globlists organized behind the curtain.

Sekel was another criminal jew who disappeared and was said to have committed suicide or fallen off a cliff, and suspected of being in israel by anyone familiar with the apttern..
