My Dark School Of Thoughts

   A couple of questions has cropped up and bugged me over the years concerning a particular topic that is said to be sacred to so many people. Some of these questions, most of you have though of but lack the courage to ask. Does this line of inquiry tag me a blasphemer? Is my path to hell a surety because of the audacity of my probing? Am talking about God and religion here, Christianity in particular. A lot of people that’s going to read this post would definitely frown at my line of thoughts and questions my reasoning, am prepared for that eventuality and i care less what you think about me afterward because these questions bother me and science has given me substantial proof as to the origin of the world at large. Before i ask my question i would like to give a brief history on Christianity and its origin.    
CHRISTIANITY:       

  Christianity is derived from the Ancient Greek word, Kristos, “Christ”, which means the anointed one. Christianity began as a Jewish sect in the eastern Mediterranean in the mid-1st century. Its earliest development took place under the leadership of the Twelve Apostles, particularly Peter and Paul the Apostle, followed by the early bishops, whom Christians considered the successors of the Apostles.  According to the scriptures, Christians were from the beginning subject to persecution by some Jewish religious authorities, who disagreed with the apostles teachings. This involved punishments and death. Larger-scale persecutions followed at the hands of the authorities of the Roman Empire, first in the year 64, when Emperor Nero blamed them for the Great Fire of Rome. According to Church tradition, it was under Nero’s persecution that early Church leaders Peter and Paul of Tarsus were each martyred in Rome. Further widespread persecutions of the Church occurred under nine subsequent Roman emperors.  From the year 150, Christian teachers began to produce theological and apologetic works aimed at defending the faith. These authors are known as the Church Fathers, and study of them is called Patristic. State persecution ceased in the 4th century, when Constantine I issued an edict of toleration in 313. On 27 February 380, Emperor Theodosius I enacted a law establishing Christianity as the official religion of the Roman Empire. From at least the 4th century, Christianity has played a prominent role in the shaping of Western civilization.

    The central tenet of Christianity is the belief in Jesus as the Son of God and the Messiah. The title “Messiah” comes from the Hebrew word meaning Anointed one. The Greek translation Christos is the source of the English word “Christ”. Christians believe that Jesus, as the Messiah, was anointed by God as savior of humanity, and hold that Jesus coming was the fulfillment of messianic prophecies of the Old Testament. The Christian concept of the Messiah differs significantly from the contemporary Jewish concept. The core Christian belief is that through belief in and acceptance of the death and resurrection of Jesus, sinful humans can be reconciled to God and thereby are offered salvation and the promise of eternal life. While there have been many theological disputes over the nature of Jesus over the earliest centuries of Christian history, Christians generally believe that Jesus is God incarnate and “true God and true man” (or both fully divine and fully human). Jesus, having become fully human, suffered the pains and temptations of a mortal man, but did not sin. As fully God, he rose to life again. According to the Bible, “God raised him from the dead, he ascended to heaven, is “seated at the right hand of the Father and will ultimately return to fulfill the rest of Messianic prophecy such as the Resurrection of the dead, the Last Judgment and final establishment of the Kingdom of God.

  God is the English name given to a singular being in theistic and deistic religions (and other belief systems) who is either the sole deity in monotheism, or a single deity in polytheism. God is most often conceived of as the supernatural creator and overseer of the universe. Theologians have ascribed a variety of attributes to the many different conceptions of God. The most common among these include omniscience (infinite knowledge), omnipotence (unlimited power), omnipresence (present everywhere), omni benevolence (perfect goodness), divine simplicity, and eternal and necessary existence. God has also been conceived as being incorporeal (immaterial), a personal being, the source of all moral obligation, and the greatest conceivable existent.

    I have given you a very brief history on the origin of Christianity and have described Jesus and the lord God to the best of my knowledge, so here are my questions; If God was omniscience and omnipresence wouldn’t he have foreseen the betrayal of Lucifer? If God was omnipotent why didn’t he just kill Lucifer when he eventually found out about his betrayal? Or was Lucifer more or less his equal and couldn’t be killed and could only be banished because there just cant be two captains on a ship? Because i can remember reading in the bible that a great war was fought in the heavens before Lucifer could be banished. Or has God in his failure to do away with him made Lucifer his equal? Just like how lord Voldermot marked harry potter his equal in the fictitious novel Harry potter by J.K Rowling. If God was Omni benevolence why would he banish Lucifer to the one place where he was going to create man in his own image? If he was Omni benevolent why would he destroy the world, his own creation ? Or is he admitting to have made a mistake in our creation? If  we were created in his own image and likeness, is it  safe to assume that God has weakness too? And if God knew we had these weaknesses, why banish Lucifer to earth to taint us when he couldn’t even have him in heaven with him? Why wasn’t he banished to probably mars or Jupiter if God was being merciful? Or is this some kind of joke or game God is playing on mankind? If God was all knowing and he knew our weakness then what was the apple tree doing in the Garden of Eden if he knew there was a remote chance that Eve would be tempted? He has given us free will right? Why must i believe in Blind faith when he has given me the freedom to ask and make my decisions? And doesn’t this free will extend to me asking these questions or am i blaspheming? Or is the bible really a tool for binding mankind? Because i know for sure that a lot of atrocities and evil would have been perpetuated if not the bible. Is Christianity the only true religion? If it is, did those that existed before Christianity was formed go to hell? Because I know Christianity wasn’t the first religion. Are other people practicing other religions destined for hell? Because in truth all religions preach similar gospel. Israel of then and the present day Israel are not Christians, in fact they do not believe in Christ yet God has tagged them his children and has promised to never forsake them, why is this so if you claim Christianity is the only path to heaven when the original children of God are not even Christians? If I live a pure and good life where I don’t commit any sin but don’t attend the church or am not a Christian, do I go to heaven or hell? Why was hell created? When was hell created? Was it before the creation of man or after? Because if it was before the creation of man then God obviously knew we were going to commit sins even before he created us, so why didn’t he do something about it? If hell was created after our creation then are we to assume that God realized his mistakes and decided to create hell as a form of punishment for sinners? If that’s the case are we to assume that God aint perfect after all and can make mistakes? Or are we to assume that our life is a game to amuse God? A game that can be likened to the famous snake and ladder game where if you mistakenly fall at the mouth of  the snake you  descend [Hell] and if your fortunate enough to land at the foot of a ladder you ascend [Heaven]? Is God an Egocentric? All these questions i ask not because i question the higher authority but because i want to know and understand. So the question i ask is this; does God exist? Will i ever feel his presence? Is our life just by chance or it has been dictated by God? Is there a power tussle between God and Lucifer? Or are we pieces in a board game between to superior beings to push around and amuse themselves with? Another issue that worries me is this, Jesus was almost dehumanized in the new testament, don’t get me wrong, Jesus Christ showed compassion, pity and love but i don’t remember  seeing anywhere that Jesus smiled or laughed. The new testament is supposed to be about the life of Christ but it never covered his personal life, why? Or maybe am just naive and ignorant!
