THE GOD OF ABEL

Who is this god that demands the shedding of blood for the remission of sins? Creation was corrupted when plants, animals, and land became “crops”, “herds” and “property”. Abel was the first shepherd, the first one to break the will of wild sheep and “possess” them as his own as well as the land they grazed upon. Abel was the first man to shed innocent blood. The idea of “ownership” and “property” was the result of the domestication of plants and animals and is the cornerstone of civilization as we know it. Who is this “God” that looked in favor upon Abel’s’ sacrifice of bloodshed and rejected Cain’s sacrifice of the fruits of the earth?

Abel’s sacrifice was the first of many. The barbaric custom evolved into an annual massacre of the first born of the flock from every household of “God’s” “chosen people”, a requirement for the “remission of sins.” (If the household was not involved in the enterprise of domesticated sheep they could buy one at the temple; for a modest fee I’m sure.) As the lambs throat was slit and the blood drained into a basin and carried thru the temple and into the most holy of holy places behind a curtain that only the high priest could enter and not without a rope tied to his foot in case the “Lord” decided to smite him to death and poured the blood over the horns of the alter, the meat was cooked over an open fire and the priesthood indulged in the choice cuts of the meat according to their rank in the hierarchy and the wrath of the “Lord” was dissuaded because he was pleased with the aroma of the offertory barbeque.
The domestication of sheep and man went hand in hand as the chosen people were branded and corralled according to their specific tribes to raise their flocks on their allotted territories and defend their folds against predators while eradicating “Gentiles” and nomadic-hunter-gatherer peoples that inhabited their “Promised Land.” The “Lord” had given them the land and as for the natives, he commanded that the Israelites kill them all (even women and children) and steal all of their stuff. If anyone had the testicular fortitude to speak out against the ways of the “Lord” he was commanded by the “Lord” to be stoned to death immediately by the closest person available for his blasphemy.
The bible is the history of a nation, and like the history of all nations it is one filled with tyranny and bloodshed and generations of brothers slaying brothers for possession and control of land and resources… Cain and Abel, Jacob and Esau, Israel and Ishmael…The Old Testament is full of recorded instances where the “Lord” commanded the mass genocide of “gentile” tribes for the purpose of land acquisition.
Some things never change, unfortunately history repeats itself. It pisses me off when I read the same story in the bible as I do in the USA Today. Now the high priests are politicians and ceo's writing the commandments and dishing out orders, levying taxes and defending their borders, Allah vs. the dollar, Jihad against the new world order...blood and oil and bricks and mortar.
The people of THE BOOK say it's got to be this way...prophecy has to be full-filled and they are dutifully reading, memorizing, and reciting the lines of the script and playing their roles in the drama that has been re-enacted over and over again since the beginning of civilization. The “War on Terror” is a continuation of the crusades, a foreshadowing of Armageddon, a re-enactment of the script outlined in the bible...it is written, and we're acting it out like puppets with Israel, the U.S. government, and the rest of the Infamadi pulling the strings.
If we keep feeding this satanic system with our labor, commerce, tithes and taxes and brainwashing our children to follow this "Holy" script it's going to be a bad movie.
