I never said I\u00a0was a church-going Christian. I espouse a generic religion:\u00a0an affirmation of God, whom I equate with Consciousness, a spiritual dimension where ideals\u00a0like absolute truth, justice, beauty,\u00a0and love are self-evident. Truth\u00a0is a moral dimension like light\u00a0exposing everything we seek.\u00a0<\/strong><\/h5>\n<h5><strong>God is Reality &#8211; the only Reality.\u00a0We were sent by God to create Heaven on Earth &#8212; but we seem to be headed for Hell on Earth instead.\u00a0<\/strong><\/h5>\n<h5><strong>The Illuminati are Satanists\u00a0who have usurped\u00a0God&#8217;s place. hey\u00a0have\u00a0denied\u00a0our Divine Spirit\u00a0as a step\u00a0toward enslaving\u00a0us. They run everything. Our best course\u00a0is to eschew almost everything espoused by our corrupt society and seek solace and direction from within.<\/strong><\/h5>\n<h5>God is perfection.\u00a0We are motivated by\u00a0a love of God, i.e. Perfection, a desire to become One with Him.<\/h5>\n<h5>We have been brainwashed to reject terms like &#8220;God,&#8221;\u00a0but we can no more\u00a0forego God than we can deny light, truth, beauty or morality without dire consequences.<\/h5>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\">Updated from June 6, 2017<\/h2>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>by Henry Makow Ph.D.\u00a0<\/strong><\/h2>\n<h5><strong>My article Sunday,<\/strong>\u00a0&#8216;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.henrymakow.com\/2017\/06\/moses-was-a-self-hating-jew.html\"><em><span style=\"color: #ffff00;\">&#8216;God Told Moses to Murder Jewish Sinners<\/span>&#8216;<\/em><\/a>&#8216; touched a nerve with many readers. One, Lazar G wrote that\u00a0it was &#8220;clearly a mockery of God and the Lord Jesus Christ, who is God manifested in the flesh.&#8221;<\/h5>\n<h5>In the article, I said I was stopped short when I read that God had ordered Moses to murder 3000 Israelites who worshipped the golden calf and engaged in dissolute behavior. I preferred Jesus&#8217; vision of a loving God who attracted followers by example and not force. Lazar wrote:<\/h5>\n<h5><strong>&#8221; I may have to altogether stop reading your website even though it has some true insights on what is going on in the world. You are really throwing in some heresy religion, and speak of the evil intent of Freemasons and illuminati and Jews and such but by your unbelief in the true God of the Bible of the Old and New Testament you are really just making your own separate religion. You are very knowledgeable but I just wanted to further write that all knowledge comes from God, and by trusting yourself too much just watch out as I believe you have made your own religion, I think this Scripture will help you in Jeremiah 17:15 (King James Version Bible) &#8220;Thus saith the LORD; Cursed be the man that trusteth in man, and maketh flesh his arm, and whose heart departeth from the LORD.&#8221;<\/strong><\/h5>\n<h5>Many readers wrote to defend God&#8217;s slaughter of the sinners. In my view, this is a justification of all killing, and perversion of true religion. Talmudic Jews regard all non-Jews as infidels. This would justify killing non-Jews.<\/h5>\n<h5>Murder is only warranted if the sinners are trying to destroy you. In Moses&#8217; case, the revelers were only destroying themselves. Thus, I think the Tsar should have executed Lenin, Trotsky, and Stalin when he had a chance.<\/h5>\n<h5>I do not believe that the Bible is the word of God. It was written by men. I do not believe that Jesus was God.\u00a0(But I&#8217;d be delighted if he were.)<\/h5>\n<h5>As Jesus said, God is a Spirit, and we worship him in spirit and in truth. (John 4:24) I believe Jesus expressed God&#8217;s will.<\/h5>\n<h5>I believe in his Gospel of Love. I consider myself a Jew only in an ethnic and cultural sense. I have no interest in Judaism, beginning with the ridiculous claim that Jews are God&#8217;s &#8220;chosen people.&#8221; The esoteric goal of Cabalist Judaism is to enslave and exploit humanity.
