21st Century Pagans

For too long the mainstream churches have had it all their own way. What they teach is largely nonsense. Or as a wicked old guru once said, "holy cow dung." The Catholic, Anglican, Presbyterian, Episcopal, and what-have-you churches are so out of touch with reality they ought to be sedated or better still, put right out of their misery.
The Real Wild Church is for 21st century people with 21st century ideas and opinions. We celebrate LIFE, not death and eternal suffering. It's time old Jesus was taken down from his cross and cremated.
The Real Wild Church is a FUN church! We're not interested in original sin, the fall of man, blood atonements and all that negative garbage. Those ideas were fabricated by tyrants to enslave the masses and to keep them mentally impoverished.
The churches, all churches, have lied to the people from day one. Jesus instructed his followers not to pray in public. The Catholic Church recognized that there was no money to be made or power to be had from people who prayed in private so its gangsters encouraged everyone to disobey Jesus, safe in the knowledge that the masses couldn't read, and those who could had no access to the Bible.
The result is that The Catholic Church has amassed vast property and wealth, it owns a city, f'r krist sake! A city bursting at the seams with gold and jewels and priceless art treasures. The Catholic Church has been directly responsible for wars, inquisitions, massacres, and countless other atrocities. Everything about the Catholic Church is the exact opposite of what Jesus stood for.
The Catholic Church has, for almost two thousand years, seized property in Britain, across Europe, North America, South America, Asia, Africa, Australia and New Zealand. What it didn't seize, it inherited from deathbed victims convinced that they would go to hell unless they bequeathed their wealth to the Church. Add to that their numerous business interests, their gambling clubs, their trading in stocks, shares, armaments, gold and other precious metals, plus real estate buying and selling and you get a hint, just a hint, of what the Roman Catholic Church is worth.
Other churches, while not as obscenely wealthy as the Roman Catholic Church, are wealthy compared to say, General Motors, Apple or Microsoft. Maybe not with cash in the bank, but in real estate. Now you tell me, what does fabulous, immeasurable wealth have to do with the teachings of a man who said, "Give up thy worldly goods"?But Jesus was a flawed man, he detested Gentiles (99.96% of the world's population), so much so that he was loathe to cure a sick Canaanite child, calling her a "dog". He cursed vegetable matter to death, he encouraged his male followers to horribly mutilate themselves and he condemned most of us to an eternity spent screaming and writhing in the fires of hell. We want nothing to do with such a demented beast and such a hideous doctrine.
"The God of hell should be held in loathing, contempt and scorn. A God who threatens eternal pain should be hated , not loved; cursed, not worshipped. A heaven presided over by such a God must be below the meanest hell." Robert G. Ingersoll (1833-1889)
What we've done is taken the best, most uplifting and positive aspects of all religions and molded them into an ethical structure, far more relevant to today's lifestyle. From Christianity we've taken "The truth shall set you free," and "Judge not, that ye be not judged," plus the story of the Good Samaritan. From Buddhism we've borrowed the original Golden Rule – Do nothing to others that you would not want done unto you.
We love the story of Mohamed riding into Mecca and destroying the false gods. His camel jockeys smashed the idols to smithereens and introduced a new system of belief, which is exactly what we're doing. The Islamic holy day is Friday, so on certain Fridays we hold "music and merriment" meetings.
From Hinduism we've taken the concept of the god Shiva, who was both male and female, a transgendered deity, if you like. When you come to think of it, how absurd to give "god", the creator of the universe, a penis! What on earth would a "god" use a male sex organ for?
See, that's got you thinking, and that's the idea, we want to get everyone thinking. The moment you start thinking, you'll realize how cruelly you've been misled by the mainstream churches.
From the pagan religions and ancient Egyptian society we've adopted equality of the sexes. Our ministers, called Gnomes, are as likely to be female as male. From Persia we've borrowed Mazda, the God of Light, or as he's known in the West, Lucifer. From ancient Greece we accept homosexuality as being normal for some people, (see quote above about not judging others.) Scientists and philosophers are especially welcome. Bertrand Russell said, "As far as I can tell, there is nothing in favor of intelligence in the scriptures." How right he was. The purpose of Christianity was to dumb the people down, rendering them ripe for exploitation.
From Judaism we've taken very little because there's not much to commend it. The Old Testament boasts of numerous atrocities committed by "god" and his holy monsters. It encourages believers to commit genocide and other abominations, and its myths and fables are just plain silly. The Ten Commandments are meaningless when spouted by a deity preoccupied and obsessed with slaughter.
All we've taken from Judaism, then, is the Song of Solomon which celebrates eroticism and sexuality. It's one of the few books in the Old Testament where the Hebrew "Lord" isn't tormenting and murdering innocent people.
Solomon's father, King David, said, "Happy is the man who taketh and dasheth his children against the rocks," so we give dodgy David and his Psalms a wide berth.
The Real Wild Church is not a cult. Cults try to brainwash you, whereas we try to get you thinking for yourself. Cults keep you isolated from family and friends, whereas we encourage close family ties. Our plan is to unite the millions of people throughout the world who are dissatisfied with conventional religion and who would like to feel connected with other people, without having to commit to a whole heap of mumbo jumbo nonsense.
As for God, our attitude is much the same as Albert Einstein's. After studying the universe, life and death, Einstein said, "I'm content to leave it a mystery." That's good enough for us. There isn't a man or woman on this planet knows all the answers, there never has been and there never will be. Those people who claim to be in touch with "God" are either deluded or deliberately lying.
Our role is to help you lead a happy and contented life. If, when you die, you find something wonderful on the other side, then all to the good. But we don't encourage you to observe all sorts of absurd rituals so's you can enter the so-called kingdom of heaven. Let me tell you this, if there is such a place, the last people to gain access will be the lying priests and pastors from the mainstream churches.
