Will filicide become the latest fad for overly ambitious, status-seeking Christians?
It’s always interesting to see what them thar good, God fearin’ folks is up to on a bright shiny Sunday morning.
Today I was greeted by this bit of joy on Twitter. Apparently, while abortion is anathema to Christians, fast-tracking your kids into the imaginary “heaven” is a “job” that at least one forward thinking true believer enthusiastically embraces:
While not wanting to state the obvious difference between getting into Harvard and entering the Pearly Gates (since all Christians know you can’t get into heaven unless you’re dead), I was curious as to what this mom had in mind.
So, I inquired:
Though I’m still waiting for an answer, knowing how enterprising religious types can be at selling make-believe made me ponder what the next step might be. Will tiny, Happy Heavenly Harps soon be sold by televangelists as the perfect gift for expectant mothers?
Will the allure of embracing Rachel Campos-Duffy’s innovative, time-saving idea spark a competition among Stepford wives nationwide to have their kids be the first on the block to meet the Sky Daddy?
Will it lead to bizarre “graduation” ceremonies, macabre awards to parents for a “job well done”? Will parents whose kids do gain admission to Harvard be viewed as heretics and failures (as well as suckers who’re now stuck with astronomical tuition costs)?
Will filicide become the latest fad for overly ambitious, status-seeking Christians?
One thing’s for certain, when you put over-the-top self-promotion, and insatiable American materialism together with daffy religious delusion, you’ve got a marriage (and burial) made – where else? – in “Heaven”.
I think you’re reading too much into it. Although Christianity is wrong, her intent was good. Maybe what she meant is that she’s supposed to prepare her kids, not do it for them. Maybe she was wrong in ideology, but she was communicating using what she knows to be truth.
I certainly did understand she was espousing her lovely, illogical, delusional beliefs. A public news personality proudly pushing idiocy. This is the nice, homey, ancient, bloody cultic belief system packaged for today’s unthinking masses…who also haven’t shied away from trying to make it the religion of the land. In fact, perhaps people have noticed that this is a “Christian nation”, according to some who’ve been quite vocal about it over the many years.
The fact that it’s so easy to ridicule this puerile pap is telling in itself. Grown, supposedly adult people (with nice teeth) trying to sell demented fairy tales. Sure, people are entitled to their beliefs, religions, etc., but it’s more than fair game to slap stupid, truth-suppressing stuff around and not be cowed by the pretentious and sanctimonious ones who who try to insinuate their moral superiority by espousing it.
I have a question about the crusificion of Jnmanuel.
What kind of a cross was it? Was it the Christian cross like a “t” or was it a “Y”
Reason l ask is, when Asket took Billy Meier down into the Bafath base under the Gisa plateau, they came accross crucifiction articles which Asket said were faked
Never the less they assumedley were meant to represent the actual items which would make them replicas.
So which kind of cross was used to crucify Jmmanuel?
According to the Meier info, a Y-shaped cross, NOT like the one Asket generated a hologram above Meier’s head, in the last of the 1964 photos here:

Billy has a crucifix around his neck in the cowboy photo. Ive seen the Asket projection above him. I understand it is symbolic only , possibly not accurate to the original but thats all we know so its apt.
The plejaren are looked at as the crazies of the universe with their obsession with following the natural universal laws. What made me think this way is because I read in the material if a man isn’t able to procreate with his woman, then she should have sex with another guy and the infertile guy should then raise the kid as his own even though he wants it to be his official offsprings and on same level as him in counciousness. thats just crazy to me.
Let’s stay on topic.
Please also post the link to the CR when referring to specific info.
100 % self responsibility cannot happen until one is free from religion. There’s no one above you , no one below you. I feel sorry for people trapped by religion, unable to free themselves.
Although, there may not be a direct correlation, but I do think that believing in imaginary deities can lead to filicide. One thing I see on mainstream media is the mental health crisis and how it should be openly talked about and discussed so people don’t harm themselves or others as we have seen through murders and suicide. However, the key thing that I think leads to mental health issues are human religions.
When life gets tough, the believer looks up, prays, and hopes there is an answer, thus solely relying on something imaginary to answer their prayers. One cannot simply just believe in god and life is easy, they actually have to go out and do the work themselves. I believe this leaves a mental imbalance for humans because they think that god(s) are directing them in their action, yet if god does something that is not favorable to them, then it isn’t god’s fault.
An example, when natural disasters strike, people thank god for humans that survive, but never blame that same creator god for bringing such disasters to his own believers. Religions do not teach people about the irrefutable cause-and-effect, so a god believing person is less likely to own up to their actions when they’ve done wrong, only when they want credit for something. Kids ending their lives early because they don’t know how to cope with life because they are raised into thinking that a god controls every aspect of life.
When it comes down to mental health awareness imagine telling people that you believe they have mental health issues because they believe in god(s), surely you’d have an unfavorable response.
Regarding belief in imaginary gods leading to filicide, I was indulging in satiric hyperbole but if you don’t think believing in an imaginary deity can’t, or often doesn’t, lead to filicide, notice items in the news where a father – or a mother – kills their child, or children, or children and then themselves.
This has become all the more frequent…as Meier also foretold. And while we’re most familiar with it involving loony, over-the-top Christians, consider the so-called “honor killings” in Islamic and other religions.
While I understand people minimizing and even dismissing the idea, actually history is full of irrational killing of children (and others) by believers in the “God of love and mercy”.
In the Old Testament, the Sky Guy commanded the killing of “every man, woman, child and infant in their mother’s arms”. So, when these hyper-ambitious…fearful, unthinking religion peddlers proudly put their smiley faces on stupid sayings, take a moment to think about how utterly bizarre and even degenerate the whole thing is.
A parent’s “job” is to love, protect, teach, guide, their children…not focus on preparing them for harp duty with some vengeful deity, who’ll otherwise dip them in hot lead for eternity if they don’t “believe” in the horse manure.
The religions and their followers are responsible for most of the suffering in the world, and that’s not hyperbole.
Religion has robbed people of their freedom, ability to think, and a natural and progressive evolution. Religion is insanity, slavery, torture, stagnation, degeneration and the dark energy cloud that engulfs the Earth. It’s unfathomable that folks are still duped by religion in 2022, but the mass psychosis runs deep.
Religious people are not harmless and should be criticized at every opportunity. That’s not to say that folks don’t have the right to believe whatever they want, but we have the right and responsibility to reveal the truth, which should always be used to fight against lies, untruth and false teachings.
I totally agree with you, MH and Melissa. I’m just being cautious with with my wording since I’m not a qualified expert to make such statements. From “Kane and Abel” to today’s “honor killings, I could never understand why such things would be taught.
I myself, have 2 boys, who knew nothing of these creator god, something i simply refuse to delude their brains with. However, my oldest is now starting to believe due to peer pressure from his grandparents and peers.
And I do firmly believe religion is the root cause of most mental health issues outside of birth defects.
Hopefully the rational thinking that you taught them will overpower the peer pressure. Sometimes they have to find out for themselves, but you’ve done the right thing. I think that makes you as much of an expert as any of us. 🙂
Thank you for the kind words.
Just curious. Do other “earth-foreigners” have the same inclination to look for a “higher being” to explain reality like humans do or are they somehow on the right track right from the start? Or don’t they care either way?
speaking of religion I sometimes feel like im targeted by a machine to influence me become religious but i notice it quick and dismantle the force
