The purpose of this piece is not to insult the New Testament, rather, only to portray it as it really is: a highly imperfect, corrupted, and a tale of a narcissist with delusions of grandeur. This is intended as a reference guide and informational piece that highlights the obvious narrative as constructed around the Old Testament, as well as point out all inconsistencies and errors.

This is a teaser for a complete, verse-by-verse analysis of the Gospel of Mark that I hope will serve as a reference manual to expose once and for all the absurdity and non-necessity of treating a book like a dead end for the consideration of other people's life choices and the general progress of society towards the good rather than the stagnation of the falsidical. I chose to start with Mark because, as the oldest gospel in the Christian canon, its first sentence is the very first statement by Christianity; it is the pedestal upon which the rest of the corpus rests.
Fortunately, all one needs is an understanding of ancient Greek, a tolerable ability to deal with Hebrew and a comprehensive knowledge of the Old and New Testaments to discover how ridiculous, misquoted, and amoral the entirety of the gospels are.
I will be publishing the first third of my criticism of Mark tomorrow. In the following few days I will post the rest, and then move onto a sarcastic and humorous parody of Matthew. After all, if one understands the fallacies in the text from which Matthew drew, one simply need apply one's sense of humor to finish the job.
Some of you may appreciate this, and some of you may hate me for it. In response to all the Christians who are angered then follow your convictions and act according to your book:
Forgive me. Sorry, that's kind of your thing. I didn't make the rules for you.
Finally, why am I doing this? Because it's high time we stopped acting as though shoving a pacifier of glazed faith into our mouths and happily gumming our way through the complications and evolution of social love and understanding is a good thing. We have to think for ourselves, and realize that truth is something we discover, not accept because when we were kids we were told there's a book that relieves us of having to grow up as adult members of a constantly improving condition in which we all live known as humanity.
Lastly, I am fully present and willing to engage with anyone who would like to question my analysis. At your own risk.
Enjoy. I'm just getting warmed up here...
On April 8th, 2016, CNN gave front-page privilege to a paper written by Pope Francis entitled Amoris Laetitia, or On Love in the Family. The hubub was over another classic example of a progressive pope expanding the fisher’s net in regards to sexual and familial integration in the Church—specifically, chapter eight entitled “Accompanying, Discerning, and Integrating Weakness”. Of course, the chapter is viewed by many as espousing a new, more inclusive theological philosophy from an ideological organization traditionally characterized dogmatic rigidity, but personally I find it to have the most unremarkable subject matter as far as the Scriptures are concerned. My understanding is that accompanying, discerning, and integrating weakness was Jesus’ whole point in coming here.
Problems of the Fine-tuning Argument
The Fine-tuning Argument is a case made for the existence of a divine Creator that has arisen out of our exploration of quantum physics and relativity. At this time there are six known mathematical constants that govern everything from the size of the universe to the nature of a photon. Although the argument is broad, it is reasonably summarized by physicist Martin Rees in his acclaimed book Just Six Numbers:
