Virgilian Christianity - Part One, The Basics
My Old Pal God has asked me to tell you about my weapon today. I was somewhat taken aback by this request. Weapon? What weapon? Oh, yes; there it was; in my Toy Box, shamefully covered with dust, and not seen or touched in what seems to have been centuries.
I have never considered this 1939=2xxx life to be a Weapon-Life. Much of my survival has been in following the dictum of Jesus, Turn The Other Cheek; which makes me feel rather lonely sometimes because I am the only Christian I know of who follows that dictum.
Look to the history of Christianity; the concept of Turn the Other Cheek in the body of Christianity is less active than the appendix in the body of the human being. Christianity does go and always has since it became strong gone to war in the name of Jesus; enslaved in the name of Jesus; looted and pillaged in the name of Jesus...sometimes I think Jesus would hardly recognize Christianity at all.
So, my Old Pal God has asked me to talk to you about my weapon; my weapon based on what is currently called subatomic physics.
I was just about to tell you about Virgilian Christianity, anyway, so perhaps I might include a description of my long unused weapon as I go along in this subject intermittently over the coming brief period of time.
Virgilian Christianity, is currently followed by myself, my Space Sailor shipmates, and a considerable number of people now in the spirit and not in the flesh, commonly known as Dead People. As far as I know, there are no followers of Virgilian Christianity among Living People, other than myself, of course.
Virgilian Christianity is very popular among dead people because it makes sense within the reality they find themselves in; which is quite different from what they learned to expect in church when alive.
I expect to touch on that aspect of Virgilian Christianity in Part Two, when I touch on why Jesus descended into Hell after He died on the cross. A word to the wise; Christians hate this story.
As unpopular as Virgilian Christianity is among Living People,I would say that within the Space Sailor-Dead People definition there are more Virgilian Christians on and around the planet Earth than Roman Catholics and Protestants combined.
That is, both Catholics and Protestants tend to become Virgilian Christians after death.
Virgilian Christianity focuses almost totally on the teachings of Jesus Christ, and even with that limitation it has a further limitation in that it is understood that it is humanly impossible to record exactly the verbal teachings of anyone; and further that the Apostles never really understood what Jesus was saying; and the fact that Jesus was no longer with them did not give them greater understanding, just greater ability to preach imperfect Christianity without being scolded and corrected by Jesus.
Virgilian Christianity believes the Apostles did what they could and did it well, and did at least as much as Jesus asked of them; but when we want to understand Jesus' teachings we look to Jesus.
We do not believe the "Holy Spirit" or "Holy Ghost" is a teacher, that a person can learn the teachings of Jesus from the Holy Sprit. Jesus said the Holy Spirit would be a "comforter", and those millions of Christians who have experienced the Holy Spirit understand this.
Roman Catholicism has a self-generated belief that the Pope is infallible, perhaps incorporating the concept of the Pope receiving teachings from the Holy Ghost. In the view of Virgilian Christianity this is self-serving nonsense, and has lead the Roman Catholic Church to uncountable crimes against Roman Catholics and others.
Virgilian Christianity does not agree that God talks to the many fundamentalist preachers and church members who constantly make that claim.
Virgilian Christianity does not believe in the infallibility of any Christian school of thought and belief, including Virgilian Christianity. Virgilian Christianity does its best and it does it well.
There are reasons the Protestants focus on the Bible; and there are reasons the Roman Catholics do not.
One of the most fundamental reasons is that Protestantism emerged after, and perhaps because of, the invention of printed books; and Catholicism existed for well over 1,000 years before.
Another is that the incredibly brave people who became Protestants in the early years of the Reformation were faced with the Roman Catholic Church's damnation of them; the Vatican saying it and it alone was the one true representative of God's will on this Earth; so the Protestants needed the greater authority of the Bible to supercede the authority of damnation dictatorship behind Catholicism's terrible threat.
Virgilian Christianity receives much condemnation from both the Roman Catholics and the Protestants in very much the classic way both sects condemn others. Virgilian Christianity is condemned by Catholicism because it does not kiss Catholicism's ass; and by Protestantism because it does not base the validity of Jesus Christ on the Old Testament.
While we love and read the Old Testament we see is as the great book of the Jews, not of the Christians, and of the Old Testament we "religiously" incorporate only the Ten Commandments, and this because Jesus said, I give you an Eleventh Commandment, thereby validating the Ten in terms of His own work.
Virgilian Christianity does not believe the final Book of the New Testament, Revelations, has any validity at all.
This is enough of this religion talk for one day.
As we proceed with the basic purpose of this work, to write The Obituary of the World and as best we can note the causes of and projected time of this Earth's death, I will explain more about Virgilian Christianity on "slow news days".
I will put the opening headline, "Virgilian Christianity - Part X, Subject X", more for my own bookkeeping than anything else, but also to warn you in case you really loathe this subject and do not want to read that day's report.
As I said, I will pursue this subject only on days I have no more important information to report; and I will, as my Old Pal God requested, introduce you to my weapon as that narration unfolds.
