Comparitive Religions .. Protestantism...By Ben Klassen

 

 

 

 

 

 

The early origins of Christianity are extremely obscure, and they are intentionally so because the early church fathers deliberately destroyed as much of the then existing historical evidence as they could. A flagrant example of this was the outrage they committed in burning the 400 thousand volumes of the library in Alexandria, the greatest of all libraries in the ancient world.

 

The reason they wanted to destroy as much of the historical knowledge and evidence as possible was to hide and obfuscate the sleazy foundations upon which their fraudulent "new" religion was being built. We must remember that in its beginnings Christianity had several rivals in the then Roman Empire, and one of its strongest rivals was Mithraism. Christianity won out because it was more cunning, more ruthless and more persistent.

However, despite all the attempts to confuse the evidence, the Dead Sea Scrolls and other manuscripts do point to the following conclusions:

1. Most of the teachings inherent in the "New" Testament, and supposedly uttered by a mythical Jesus Christ, had already been formulated and taught by the Essenes at least a century before the supposed birth of Christ. The teachings were not "new" and they were not original. It is also significant to note that because of their suicidal teachings, the Essenes lasted no longer than two centuries. They were a minor Jewish cult living at Quram in Palestine on the shores of the Dead Sea.

2. There is no historical evidence that either Jesus Christ, or his four purported chroniclers, Matthew, Mark, Luke and John, ever existed. To carry this further, there is no evidence that Little Jack Homer, Miss Muffet, or Jack and Jill existed, nor that the story about Hi-diddle-diddle, The Cat And The Fiddle, The Cow Jumped Over The Moon is factual. Just because these ditties have been widely circulated and have survived for centuries is no evidence of their authenticity.

3. There is substantial evidence that Paul of Tarsus, the Jew, was real and that he wrote a number of letters and promoted the teachings of the Essenes with great zeal under the guise of the new religion, Christianity. (Read again Creative Credo No. 43, "Confessions of a Jew," in the White Man's Bible.)

From these shabby and degenerate beginnings Christianity limped along for about three hundred years, appealing to the slave mentality of the incompetent, the degenerate, and the scum of Roman society. However, when the church fathers managed to inveigle and seduce the mind of Emperor Constantine into their scam, in 312 C.E., they struck a real bonanza. By 325 C.E. Constantine managed to pull the church fathers together at Nicaea (in Asia Minor) and hammer out the "new" Christian Bible. Now, with the wealth, the power and the prestige of the Empire (an Empire the Christians had targeted for destruction) behind them, Christianity was off and running, well on its way to dominate the lives and thinking of the White Race for the next sixteen hundred years.
 

It had long ago brought down the mighty Roman Empire, and built up an all pervasive power structure by the year 1052, when the first major rift in its hegemony came along. It was known as the Great Schism and I have described it more fully in the September Issue of Racial Loyalty about the Greek Orthodox church.
Greek Orthodoxy vs Creativity...By Ben Klassen
By the end of the fifteenth century the Papacy, with its headquarters in Rome, had pretty well monopolized the religious thinking and power structure of our White Racial Comrades in Western Europe, and it was now supreme, without a challenge.
 

With its unlimited power, it had also grown extremely corrupt and degenerate. It had also grown extremely pecuniary and mercenary. Money, wealth and power were now its main drives, and in this respect it was far more successful than any political or commercial entity. The popes, the bishops, and the upper hierarchy of the Roman Catholic Church lived the life of Riley, indulging in concubines, summer palaces and rich living of the highest order. Not the least in its bag of super tricks in fleecing the superstitious and the gullible was the selling of indulgences.

This neat little trick consisted of selling little slips of paper signed by the Pope or one of the upper hierarchy, saying that the recipient would get a reprieve of some kind in purgatory or even hell, and move him or her closer to heaven. The trick was to move said soul only a little closer, not all the way, so that any number of repeat sales could be effected. These indulgences supposedly would also help your dead father or mother, or uncle or Aunt Minnie, whomever you might be concerned about. But they could also help yourself as a future insurance, even if you were still alive and kicking. However preposterous these little gimmicks were, they sold like hot cakes for decades on end. The building of the luxurious new St. Peter's Cathedral in Rome (as well as many others) was primarily financed by means of this racket.

As an aside, outside of its religious connotation, there is a striking similarity in this Jewish gimmick and that practiced by the Federal Reserve Board. Both took (or take) cheap pieces of paper, put some equally cheap ink on it, then pass these phony slips of paper off on a gullible public at a dear price.

So profitable was this racket of selling indulgences that it soon got out of hand, and some concerned members of the Church rose up in protest. One of these was Martin Luther, an Augustinian Monk and Roman Catholic priest who nailed his famous 95 Theses to the door of the castle church in Thuringen, Germany. The date was October 31, 1517, and this heralded the opening shot of the revolt against the Roman Catholic colossus. Luther was condemned and excommunicated by Pope Leo X, but this did not stop the rebellion that had now been set in motion.
 

Luther was emulated by Huldreich Zwingli in Switzerland, who began to preach against all the "Roman superstitions" in his home town of Zurich. The rebellion soon spread to the cantons of Basil, then Bern, St. Gall, the Grisons, the Valais, and other cantons. A Frenchman, John Calvin was converted to the movement and upon the death of Zwingli in 1531, became the leader of the Swiss reformation.

In England, British resentment of the exploitation of the people by the Roman curia had long been resented and was widespread. John Wycliff led the revolt against the Catholic church, but his writings and his movement were soon repressed by Henry VIII, who wrote a ponderous treatise of his own on the Sacraments, refuting Luther's theories. For this the Pope commended him and bestowed upon Henry the title "Defender of the Faith", which the British Monarchs still use and cherish to this day. However, Henry soon broke with the Pope because the latter rejected his request for the nullification of Henry's marriage to Catherine of Aragon. Henry was determined to marry Ann Boleyn and decided to hell with the Pope, he would set up his own church and make his own rules.

 

 

 

 

This he did, and upon this sleazy and licentious premise was laid the foundation of the Church of England, which the superstitious and the gullible in England (and elsewhere) still revere and worship to this day. The Lutheran Reformation was introduced into Sweden in 1531 and Norway and Denmark in 1537, not by religious leaders as such, but by royal decree of its monarchs.

And so the rebellion spread across Europe. Some countries became Protestant. In others, like Spain, France and Italy, the Roman Catholic church maintained its iron grip, by war, by terror, by threat or murder, whatever was most effective.

One of the most horrifying examples of terrorism perpetrated by the Catholic church at this time was the St. Bartholomew's Day Massacre In France.

It began on St. Bartholomew's Day, August 24, 1572, when Paris was filled with many Protestant (Huguenot) nobles who had come to celebrate the marriage of Henry of Navarre and the sister of King Charles IX of France. From Paris the bloody orgy spread to the provinces. It is estimated approximately 50 thousand victims were massacred, all in the name of Christian love and charity and to the glee of the Pope of Rome, the King of Spain and the King of France.

What did the reformation accomplish that was constructive? Not much. The Catholic church cleaned up its act only slightly, but by and large kept on fleecing and brow-beating its victims pretty much as before and perpetrating terroristic atrocities on those still in its thrall who would not bend to its insane dogma. Burning at the stake, thumb-screw and rack

were still its best persuaders.

The Protestants were no better. Whereas they cut loose from the Pope and from Rome, they, too, pursued terror, mayhem and torture on their own victims who would not bow to their (slightly) new beliefs. (Read again Creative Credo No. 51, "The Thumbscrew and Rack," in The White Man's Bible.)
Both the Catholics and the Protestants now practiced what only the Catholic church had the power to do before - namely widespread intolerance, torture, terror and narrow-minded bigotry, all in the name of the phantom spooks in the sky whose very existence was then, and still is, highly questionable. The same mass insanity and thumb-screw and rack tactics continued to be practiced by both groups with equal fanaticism, and increased vehemence.

 

But that is not all. The Protestant groups now started splintering into a multitude of cults and factions of their own, and with it developed the factional warfare, overt and covert, that has persisted within its ranks ever since.

The rift between the Protestant factions and the Catholic church simmered ominously for nearly 100 years and then broke out into a bloody conflagration that manifested itself in the Thirty Years War (1618-48), one of the most vicious, insane and destructive wars ever fought between members of the White Race. It involved nearly every nation in Europe, and was most devastating of all to the then still fractured

German states. It set Germany back at least 200 years in its development, killed two-thirds of its inhabitants and destroyed about five-sixths of its buildings, cities, towns, farms and physical properties.

What was the war all about? Some insane tidbit of difference of opinion regarding the spooks in the sky, about which no one really had the slightest bit of information anyway, and whose existence was and still is merely speculative. Talk about mass insanity!

Today there is still bitterness between the Protestants and the Catholics. There is jealousy, intolerance, bigotry and divisiveness between the different factions of the Protestant denominations, which by now number in the thousands. In fact, there is nothing, but nothing, in the world that has so divided, splintered and fractured the White Race as have the different Christian cults, sects and religions.

The Jews planned it that way. As the Jew, Marcus Eli Ravage said (See Creative Credo No 43 in The White Man's Bible, "Confessions of a Jew"),"For this mess thanks to you, to your prophets and to your Bible."
 

The New York Times Almanac reports that there are 98,875,560 Protestant members of various denominations in the United States, and 341,496,740 on a worldwide basis. This latter figure is approximately a third of the total Catholic (Roman and Eastern Orthodox) world membership.
 

When Saul of Tarsus set out to inflict Christianity on the Romans back in the First Century, C.E., he really unleashed a can of worms, from which we have not recovered to this day. It is the goal of CREATIVITY to eradicate this aberration of the mind and set the White Race back on a course of sanity.
 

Jewish Christianity is like a huge submerged reef in the middle of a major shipping channel. Until we blast it out of existence, the White Race will repeatedly be shipwrecked on it.
