Roman Crucifiction of the Roman-Jewish Monsieur Jesus Christ
In response to Noel Cheer.
For the decreasing number of religiously brainwashed zombies called Christians who celebrate Easter in any religious sense, there seems to be two contrary but absurd views of what it's all about: Monsieur Jesus died for us and Monsieur Jesus lived for us ! how ?
That Monsieur Jesus died for us (he knew only some people of his small community), is an absurd proposition, which has been asserted, in one form or another, since the early days of concoction of Christianity by the Roman Secret agent Mr. Paul. From the time of the theologian Origen, early in the 3rd century C.E. up till Archbishop Anselm late in the 11th century C .E., the prevailing idea has been that the fictional Devil held hostage the souls of sinful people and that the fictional God-the-father redeemed them by offering his so-called perfect son Monsieur Jesu. (An ancient and incredible myth about some ancient gods of the ancient fables carried on on the name of >Monsieur Jesus Christ). This was a concoction by the medieval ignorant and superstitious minds. The story said that a fictional God-the-father turned over a man called Monsieur Jesus (ascribed to be his so-called only son) to the fictional Devil but then beat the Devil by bringing Jesus back from the dead (for which there is no proof, for nobody saw him alive after his crucifiction); What mythical ninsense… ! This absurd and unbelieveable story came to be called "Christus Victor" — so-called Christ in so-called triumph; although he waas, in reality, defeated and had no triumph but torture and death.
Anselm, who was an Archbishop of Canterbury before the division of the English Roman Catholics Church into Anglican Catholic Church (Roman catholics are the spiritual slaves of Roman Pope) and the Church of England (where Henry VIII King of England became the Head of Church-equivalent to the Vatican Pope); Anselm thought that the presence of the mythical and fictional Devil doesn't look good and therefore he concocted and rewrote the story to say that the fictional God, out of his anger at sinful mankind, found it necessary to sacrifice his son in place of humanity ; what a ridiculous idea, a funny concoction, indeed!
When in 20th century religious ideology of the Protestant Christianity was re-concocted in the 1920s, this view (called 'Substitutionary Atonement') was declared to be one of the Fundamentals of Christian orthodoxy –the new brainwashing theology. It remains part of classical Christianity right across the denominational spectrum, even though it is no longer even a reasonable metaphor. Its archaic fictional brutality renders it long overdue for repudiation as Gibson's religious-porn snuff movie, 'The Passion of the Christ', so graphically demonstrates.
There is a growing body of people, some inside the Christian Church and many outside, who say that all this nonsense is emotionally and spiritually unhealthy and that the politico-religious rebel Monsieur Jesus Christ deserves a better memory. They take the view that the basic biblical record talks about Monsieur Jesus Christ as an itinerant teacher and psychological healer, from the unciviliozed northern province of Galilee, who came into Jerusalem with the simplest of all appeals to faith — love Yeweh-the Jewish fictional and national God- with everything you've got and share your things with those of your neighbours. And, while you're at it, show as if you love your enemies, as you cannot afford to show your hatred, — it just might turn your enemies into some sort of friends.
The developing Christian church failed to promote the teachings of Monsieur Jesus Christ and instead balooned his image into a sort of cosmic redeemer figure, as the ignorant and medievql-minded Arab Bedouins balloned the image of their ancestor Allah into « an Almighty Allah »!
If we, in the 21st century, are going to reject the story of Monsieur Jesus Christ and the the so-called Roman God killing his son, (which has been called the ultimate in child abuse), what lasting significance do we see in the Roman crucifixion of this religious-political rebel?
The evidence is clear, that during that era a sect of Jewish religion deliberately confronted the naked, brutal and corrupt but systemic power of the Roman Empire, the the brute power won, as such brute and powerful empire nearly always win at least in the short run, either as Roman Empire, as Holy Roman (Christian) Empire, as Roman Catholic / Protestant Church, as Holy Roman German Empire or as Holy Roman British Empire (or Holy Roman British Commonwealth) of today. Monsieur Jesus Christ died for his own sin of political rebellion, he died for his own sins ; he did not die for the sins of anybody else in the world. Monsieur Jesus was crucified because he confronted the Roman barbaric power system of his day.
The record shows that his followers were mostly lowly crminals and prostitutes etc. who were expert in underhand deals and other such criminal activities under a secretive religious organization ; they were at first gutted, but they persisted and later came to realise great power as Romans could not completely crush them; and so Monsieur Jesus Christ, even after crucifiction and death, continued to be a metphor of Jewish rebellion against the brutal Roman Empire; and to such an extent that in
The Easter Sunday message says that Monsieur Jesus Christ was raised from the dead ; it is a children's fairytale. Indeed, using the thought forms of their day, his followers said that the fictional God-the-father had raised Monsieur Jesus from the dead into a fictional heaven in the non-existent sky! In other words his life and teachings had been vindicated in a perverted form by his enemies who has bloody well created a imperial and colonial-minded brutal world religion out of this ancient and medieval religious nonsense.
Today we are left with perverted fragments of his so-called teaching, even fewer fragments of his actions and 20 centuries of huge concocting and manufacturing cast of chaps and mostly chaps in long shadowy gowns, painting colourfully elaborately concocted fairytale pictures.
My conception of Monsieur Jesus utterly rejects the superstitious religious one. It ignores the essential and true history; it is merely an ideological synthesis with classical Greek philosophy — especially Plato's denigration of the world ; born out of Roman Imperial political expediency for controlling colonized people's bodies through the religious control of their minds. It is conquest of human mind on the name of religious spirituality! One cannot ignore Roman Empero Constantine's conversion to Christianity as a tactical move, a spiritual methodology for continuation of the Roman brutality, conquest, colonization and imperial power, (in same way as the British Crown Prince Monsieur Charles is claiming today to be a defender of all faiths, Christianity, Hinduism as well as Islam; and if he were to convert to Islam today, it will surely be a tactical move, a spiritual methodology for continuation of the present British Roman brutality, conquest, colonization and imperial power on Christianity and its spiritual colonial extension over the over the Islamic world as well).
The classical cocept of the Easter makes it stupidly simple as it ignores Aquinas' brilliant but irrelevant merger with Aristotle; it ignores the British Victorian sentimentalism of the so-called "gentle Jesus, meek and mild" nonsense for the bitter reality that the the Holy Roman British Empire used or abused this image of Monsieur Jesus Christ and Christianity for inflicting mass-murders, genocides, famines, conquests and brutal colonizations in Africas, Asia and Americas.
