THE EDITOR,
As a secular humanist, I found
Rev. Cameron McMillan's column
(May 13, Christian Church needs
all kinds of leaders, says Rev.)
offensive to the human intellect and
sensibilities.
Why would anyone want to
follow or put their faith and belief
in someone named Jesus, who if
indeed did ever exist, did commit
suicide by every sense and
definition of the word? Anyone
who deliberately causes one's death
does commit suicide. This person,
it seems, did everything short of
rBRUSSELsl
handling the nails to bring about
his death.
If Peter and Paul were two great
leaders in establishing the church,
could we not include Jimmy Jones,
who sent 900 men, women, and
children to their deaths in Guyana,
as another great leader. Jones also
had God and Jesus on his side to
justify his actions. Peter actually
led thousands to their deaths in
Rome 2,000 years ago with the
promise of an afterlife spent
walking on streets of gold.
Archaeology is just beginning to
find that Christians weren't thrown
to the lions, as we have been lead
to believe, they jumped. It was only
the church, with its great wisdom,
in an endeavor to stem off a tide of
mass suicide, changed its teachings
to say this mythical person had
died for their sins, if there was
really any sin to begin with and
these people need no longer take
their own lives.
It is no wonder, that Christianity
develops a negative self-image
when from birth on, they are
treated as if they are basically
wicked, having been bom in a state
of original sin, and filled with evil
to the point where Jesus was
pressured to make the ultimate
sacrifice to save them from the
consequences of that sinfulness. (It
is safe to assume some just may
also behave in line with this image
and message.)
These theological snake oil
salesmen, both then and now have
a veiy low or no self-esteem. They
have no faith in themselves or in
their fellow human beings, but
rather total blind faith in some
mythical HE, SHE, or IT, a suicidal
individual whom they can not
prove really did or does exist.
Would I become a supporter of
Jesus? I think not. It goes beyond
all human rationale. Peter and
Paul's great leadership qualities in
guiding people and the develop
ment of the church are question
able.
