Fairies at the bottom of the garden : Comments

By Natasha Moore, published 23/4/2019

Religious people generally bristle at the charge that their cherished beliefs belong in the same category as fairies, or dragons, or flying spaghetti monsters.

Having female priests (they don't even have the decency to call themselves priestesses :)) makes anything possible. We have one in Adelaide who pops up on talk-back radio every now and again who calls herself Father Joan!. I repeat: when Christianity goes secular, there is no need for it.

Meanwhile refer to the essays posted on Spencer Gear's long essay.
Then add these two references too:

On the nature of the "fairies-at-the-bottom-of-the-garden" essentially childish (even infantile) mommy-daddy good luck parental deity ideas that mis-inform the kind of religion promoted by Natasha

The Spiritual Gospel of Saint Jesus of Galilee

Plus essays on the Feminine Principle or SHAKTI

Not much SHAKTI to be found in institutional patriarchal religiosity!

strangely enough those who hate Christ the most claim He does not exist. Just look at Australia's top rugby player being sacked for believing in a 'fairytale'. The god deniers know that the resurrection of Christ is evident that all men (and women) will be judged by the Resurrected King. Many of the same fools that deny their Creator virtue signal their man made gw nonsense while worshipping 'mother' earth.

Christian-ISM as a would be world conquering power-and-control-seeking cult is of course the most "successful" Scapegoat vector/vehicle.

It is also very much the leading-edge Western manifestation of the at all times and in all places dramatized World Mummery.

This reference introduces both the literary masterpiece The Mummery Book, and the Scapegoat Book too. The Scapegoat drama is at the root of Western civilization (in particular).

And the bombings of Churches in Sri Lanka reinforces that religious extremists have a dark side

Their belief in fairies have fangs on.

Sectarian violence between religions continues in the less educated, more "God fearing" countries.

People who believe in some kind of supreme being are placing the responsibility for their own actions in that being - not taking personal responsibiltiy for what they think, say, or do..
