RAM: The Way, The Truth, The Light

Rebel Alliance Media: The Way, The Truth, The Light

The Way. The Truth. The Light. What makes RAM the Way, the Truth, the Light and not Islam? What determines RAM as the method or means for achieving a goal? Why should you fashion your manner of living, thought, and spirituality after RAM and not Judaism, or Christianity. RAM is the way because RAM'S philosophy embodies the universal conquest sought by Jews, Christians, and Muslims-the reformation and perfection of the Interior Self. More importanlty, you do not have to make monetary investments to acquire this apotheosis at RAM, purchase $400 garments, or attend liturgy on Easter; however, tithes, priest fund, benevolent offerings and alms is a mandatory misfortune if you're a Baptist, a Black Hebrew Israelite, or a Catholic.

Nonetheless, the ignorant subscribe to the idea that one can only achieve apotheosis through a religious denomination's faith, liturgy, and prayer. The aforementioned religious denominations are intolerant of others and they will assert that their way is the only way to spiritual enlightenment. However, the esotericist acknowledges that the path to spiritual enlightenment does not commence with an established religion, but with Self-the Interior Self. The word esotericism has its origins from the Greek esoteros, which means inner. An esotericist is not merely a person that has acquired hidden information or knowledge, but is also a person  that is concerned with the Inner Self through special knowledge or gnosis, to attain a form of enlightenment and invidividual salvation-one does not need Christianity or Islam to achieve this accomplishment. While it is true that esoteric information is found in each reach religion, one does not need to subscribe to a specific to apotheosize the Interior Self.

Again, there is esotericism in Judaism, Christianity, and Islam; nevertheless, these are just aspects of a broad spectrum of knowledge. If you are seeking the supreme Logos; if you are on a quest for the Absolute; if you wish to become wise, divine, and achieve a power of great magnitue, you must learn and study all the aspects of this knowledge, not just the narrow, dogmatic, theosophical point of view of Judaism, Christianity, or Islam. RAM is the Way to learn this knowledge-the knowledge to reform and perfect the Interior Self. RAM has the Truth to learn this knowledge- the knowledge to become divine; to become a god. RAM is the Light to learn this knowledge-the knowledge to become one with the Absolute. RAM is The Way, The Truth, and The Light.

To Blaspheme His Name, And His Tabernacle

The YHWH, the One to love, the One to hate; His Royal Rudeness, K.O.C.
Let's be honest with ourselves-the fear of the Lord no longer exists on the Earth. In fact, the fear of the Lord never existed. Since the days of Genesis, there was no "fear of the Lord". For those of you that subscribe to Judeo-Christian literature (Bible) as divine truth, where was the fear of the Lord in the Garden of Eden? Where was the fear of the Lord when Cain murdered Abel? During the days of Noah, Biblical literature states that the Biblical god became distraught because wickedness had abounded; the god of the Bible was in a state of depression. He experienced grief and heartache for creating humanity because the only thing his creation thought of doing was evil.

Not only is the fear of the Lord void when it comes to us nonbelievers-the heathen, the reprobates, the sinners, and the god-forsaken, it is also absent in the daily lives of they that believe in and worship the Lord God of the Hebrews. Consider the clergy of the Roman Catholic church, a society of pedophiles, perverts and predators. Although they teach from the Bible and believe in the god of the Bible, they commit one of the most abominable acts that their god condemns. Where is the fear of the Lord? How can one be a priest of the Church, adorn oneself in holy garb and conduct liturgy, while at the same time prey on young boys to commit sodomy?  No fear of the Lord.

Let us not forget the holy rollers of Prosperity Evangelism. In the name of Jesus, these ministers, reverends, pastors, and bishops, have made evangelism a lucrative vocation. They will stand before you at the pulpit and place much emphasis on how you can acquire prosperity-at the expense of your wallet! They will assure you that God wants you to be blessed; that he wants you to live a financially prosperous life. They will vehemently tell you that you have to give to receive; that the windows of heaven will open and bless you if you "keep the Lord's house running". Meanwhile, these very ecclesiastical figures are wearing expensive suits, flying in lier jets, owners of expensive homes and authors of unprofitable literature-all at your expense! They will have you believe that it is their god that is pouring out these material blessings. However, they know that they have become wealthy due to your ignorance. Again, they do all of this in the name of Jesus. Where is the fear of the Lord?

There is no fear of the Lord. If his ecclesiastical ambassadors don't fear him, how much more his creation that refuse to believe in and worship him? Blasphemy towards the god of the Bible has always been; however, it will never deter, but augment into a "devious" lifestyle, a lifestyle that illustrates that living in fear of fire and brimstone is futile.

Yea, verily, verily I say unto you, from the days of Adam until now, the fear of the Lord was not.

What's YOUR Purpose in Life?

You live your life following a daily routine. You're comfortable with your current situation. You have no aspirations or motivation to achieve greater significance or a greater purpose. This is YOUR reality because you have allowed yourself to have no significance or purpose in YOUR life. YOU have allowed YOURSELF to be content with just being average or less than average. YOU have become complacent with no aspirations or motivation to be someone unique. YOU have become complacent with just being a store clerk and not the store manager. YOU have become comfortable with just being at the bottom, not aspiring to be at the top. YOU are just fine with the way things are going in YOUR daily life because YOU don't live with a purpose.

What is YOUR purpose in life? Why do YOU exist? Do YOU exist to think independently, or to be told how to think? Do YOU exist to learn and enlighten YOURSELF, or to be an ignoramus? Do YOU exist to be angry or happy? Do YOU exist to be positive or negative? Do YOU exist to argue and bicker, or to be serene?

Your purpose, or existence; the reason why you are here, is determined by what you think, believe, or feel about YOU! YOUR thoughts influence YOUR existence. Stop blaming others for YOUR current situation. Stop using other people as a scapegoat for YOUR failures or shortcomings.

If YOU believe that you don't know anything and that you need someone else to dictate to you x, y, and z, then that is how you are going to live your life-as a follower, not a leader; as a student, not a teacher; in a church obeying orders from personnel of a pseudo army; that will be YOUR purpose in life. If YOU believe that you can't do x, y, and z, then you will never accomplish that task because YOU made that thought a reality.

What is YOUR purpose in life. Meditate on that query. Ponder on it. Ask yourself, "Why am I here? What is my purpose?" Examine all the things that you do and think daily, then ask yourself, "Is this why I want to live?"

Celibacy: Chastity, or Sexual Abnormality?

The significance of this blog is to delve into the dynamics of celibacy and how celibacy promotes abnormal sexual behavior. Some people practice celibacy for different reasons. There are people who are celibate because they were castrated; they will never experience the euphoria of sex. Then there are people who are celibate because they are seeking a certain level of spirituality; they associate sexual abstinence, or chastity, with being more in tune with their spiritual self. Moreover, there are people who are abstinent because of a bias ideology towards sexual relations; for instance, some women cleave to being abstinent because they felt that they were used or mistreated in a relationship and to prevent themselves from being used or mistreated any further, they employ abstinence as a tactic of revenge. This blog will explore the metaphysics of celibacy and illustrate how celibacy leads to a deviant, abnormal sexual lifestyle.

Just about any lexicon will define celibacy as abstention from sexual relations. In other words, these are individuals that do not have sex. They refrain from having sex. They avoid having sex. The question is this: Do these people THINK about having sex? That's the daily double, reader. You will hear of people claiming that they are celibate for whatever reason, but how many of you know that some of these very "celibate" characters actually think about sex and that their "celibate" lifestyle actually encourages sexual abnormalites?

You're probably wondering, "How is there a connection between celibacy and sexual abnormality?" Remember Michael Jackson? As far as anyone can remember, Michael Jackson was asexual, which, in all reality, doesn't make sense at all; look up asexual and it is impossible for Michael Jackson to have been asexual. The correct terminology is celibate. Michael Jackson, as far as we can remember, was a person that practiced celibacy. However, his celibacy lead to him being a pedophile, which is a sexual abnormality; an adult is not supposed to be attracted to children. Regardless of the fact that he was never convicted of child molestation, magazines illustrating child pornography was still found in his possession during his 2006 trial.

Better yet, have you considered Roman Catholic priests? These are men who are celibate because of their spirituality; in their mind, abstaining from sex is bringing them closer to their god, Jesus Christ. They are practicing a form of chastity. Little do we know, Father Flannigan is doing more than just praying for the children of our future; he is also preying on the children of our future (pun intended). He actually likes to play with children's rectum in his rectory (no pun intended). His only goal is to altar the altar boy. His sexual preference for little boys is a sexual abnormality

Then there are celibate Christian black women who swear that they are married to no one but Jesus. They will tell you in a heartbeat, "I'm married to Jesus. Jesus is my husband." Little did our ignorant Christian practitioners know that celibacy also means abstention from a vow of marriage or the state of being married. Nonetheless, as aforementioned with the deviant Catholic priests who seek a level of spirituality, Christian black women will go without having sex for years, claiming that they are celibate, but married to Jesus at the same time (ignorance at its best).

Is it not strange that these same people who claim to be celibate, which is nothing more but refraining or avoiding sex, are actually the same individuals with sex on their minds? Is that not strange? Perhaps to some, but in all reality, it is not strange at all. Sex is a natural experience. What does this mean? This means that it is perfectly normal for a man to have sex. This means that it is perfectly normal for a woman to have sex. There are times when a man's body discharges sperm while asleep. This usually happens when that man has not engaged in sexual relations. While in his sleep, this very man, who has not had sex for whatever amount of time, is actually dreaming about sex; sex is on this man's mind while he is asleep. If you think there are eunuchs that have never thought about sex or never had a wet dream, you are a gullible child. If you think that our chaste, Christian black women are not masturbating because sex is not on their mind, you are naive.

What about  celibate Christian black women who are married to Jesus? They are the same ones who are masturbating behind closed doors! How in the hell can you be chaste, but masturbate at the same time? Something is truly wrong with these types of people. The same goes for women who are celibate just for the hell of it; they, too, are masturbating behind closed doors. They'll tell you, "I haven't been with a man in years. I don't have a problem being alone. I'm single and happy." They promote this celibate lifestyle, but behind closed doors, they're having sex with Bob, better known as a vibrator. Here's where it gets even sicker-there are women who are in relationships and will not have sex with their spouse to be spiteful; yet, they will diligently seek Bob and masturbate-abnormal.

This is nothing more but sexual abnormalities. As human beings, we have hormones and some of them regulate our sexual desires. It is normal for males and females to have an interest in sex. It is normal for a person to experience sexual euphoria. It is not normal for a person to deny oneself of sexual pleasures; abstaining from sex is denying oneself sexual pleasures. Society has proven that some of the people claiming to be celibate, actually have a sexual interest in little boys-abnormality. Society has proven that some of the people who claim celibacy, actually masturbate. How can a person be chaste, but have a sexual interest in lads? How can a person be chaste and masturbate at the same time? How can a person be in a relationship and be "celibate" at the same time? 

It is obvious that abstaining from sex has an abnormal effect on people. More importantly, the sexual abnormalities of being celibate, or chaste, has affected people seeking piety. They have gone astray. They have given in to temptation. They have fallen weak. They developed interest in sex. But instead of having legal sex, they would rather have sex with boys. Instead of finding a partner, they would rather masturbate. Celibacy. Is it a form a chastity, or is it merely a sexual abnormality?

The RAM Cult: Illuminati Satanists

Rebel Alliance Media (RAM) & The Apostate Commission

The Black Hebrew Israelites (BHI) are a band of superstitious ignoramuses. Actually, “superstitious ignoramuses” is redundant; superstition is defined in the New Merriam-Webster Dictionary as beliefs or practices resulting from ignorance, fear of the unknown, or trust in magic or chance. So let’s scratch the phrase “superstitious ignoramuses” and just use superstitious junkies (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jd8PmqM0Ynk). This is not abusive language towards the BHI; this is the absolute truth. They are superstitious junkies. Every faction: ICGJC, GMS, ISUPK, and whatever winkie dink group that didn't make the cut, are superstitious junkies.


 What makes them superstitious? Everything and everyone is wicked. Every other movie is an indirect reference to Israel. Everything is "about Israel" with these junkies. What makes their superstition relevant to this blog? The BHI are superstitious that Rebel Alliance Media (RAM) are Illuminati Satanists; that we sold out to the Devil and became agents for the Illuminati. Others superstitiously believe that we are a cult.

So what is the catalyst behind their misplaced hysteria? Why does RAM make the BHI quiver? Why have BHI adherents wrongfully accuse RAM of being a cult group, Freemasons or Illuminati Satanists? The answer is simple: the BHI ignorantly associate the ram with devil worship.


Proud Apostates Network, Rebel Alliance Media, the Federation of Logic & Reason


There are videos circulating on youtube published by adherents of the BHI community that Rebel Alliance Media, commonly known as RAM, are Illuminati Satanists and a cult. These superstitious junkies take screen shots of the blasphemous Markzman (the Holy Spirit) or His Royal Rudeness (Yahawah) supposedly throwing up Freemason ("Satanic") hand gestures and allege that we are part of the Illuminati based on acronyms such as RAM & PAN or symbolism in our logos. Are we a cult? Are we part of the Illuminati? Do we worship the mythological deity called Satan? Let's hear it from the horse's mouth!

No, RAM is not a cult! By definition, cult means a system of religious worship; admiration of, or devotion to, a person or thing, especially as a form of intellectual snobbery; a passing craze or fashion; a creed or sect (New Webster's Comprehensive Dictionary). We don't fit this definition. Do you believe that we fit this definition? No matter which lexicon you use, you will not see a correlation between cult and RAM. Illuminati means enlightened. Are we enlightened? Yes, but does that mean we are part of some megalomaniac secret society with aspirations of a one world government? No, it does not.  Are individuals that are enlightened nefarious? Are they evil? Are they sinister? No, they are not. Are we Satanists or Freemasons? No, we are not. We do not acknowledge the mythological deity, Satan, to be an actual entity. More importantly, Rebel Alliance Media has no affiliation with any chapter of the Freemasons.

In addition, the Dictionary of Mythology, Folklore & Symbology conveys that the symbology of the ram signifies peace, knowledge, strength, meekness and the sun. In astrology, the ram is the animal that carries the sun through the first sign of the zodiac, which symbolizes the birth of new thought or the dawn of a new era. Rebel Alliance Media, or RAM, symbolizes strength and knowledge. Moreover, RAM symbolizes the sun because we are luminaries. We are enlightened and enlighten others. Our knowledge has illuminated darkened minds.

Do not be ignorant and believe the pervasive rumors that we are a cult. Do not be susceptible to the lies that we are Illuminati agents. Do not entertain the fallacious allegations that we are Satanists or Freemasons. We understand symbology. The question is, "Do YOU understand symbology?". Enlighten yourself. Before reaching misinformed conclusions because you see a ram's head, learn the symbology of the ram. Before reaching misinformed conclusions before you see the acronym PAN, learn what the acronym signifies because ignorantly concluding that RAM worships mythological deity, Pan. Learn. Enlighten yourself. Free yourself from the darkness (ignorance).

God, Football & Tim Tebow

He's made the cover of Sports Illustrated. Marvel has made a comic attributed to him. Prime Time and Co. chant his name, "Teebbbooowww. Ooooohhhhhhhh. Teeeebbooowwww. Ooooooohhhhh". The accolades of "Tebow Time" are nonstop. Why is Tebow getting all of this attention? Okay-he made a few fourth quarter come-backs and won some over-time games, but does that make him the greatest quarterback of all time? Don't bet your last dollar on it.


TebowMania has nothing to do with the idea of Denver's starting second-string rookie quarterback being a great player. His win against Pittsburgh in the AFC (American Football Conference) wildcard match was his first 300 yard game. Interestingly, he only made ten pass completions!! Moreover, Cam Newton, rookie quarterback for the Carolina Panthers, has thrown more yards and made more completions than Tebow. Furthermore, he's a better quarterback; he can throw the ball further, more accurate, and he runs the ball better. So what's the hype with the former Florida Gators quarterback? What's the hysteria? Tim Tebow is a loud Christian. What does that mean? Tebow can be heard in interviews giving thanks to the Christian god, Jesus Christ. Every chance Tim gets, you best believe, he credits his win with Jesus. Nevermind that one-knee bow he takes after he runs the ball in for a touchdown; people have been taking a one-knee bow in the NFL (National Football League) for decades. TebowMania is a direct result of Christian piety.


Question: What does Jesus have to do with football? What does the NFL and the Denver Broncos have to do with Christian salvation? "I just want to thank my Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ . . .", rambles the young quarterback. Are we to believe that Jesus was sitting in heaven, watching the AFC wildcard game on an HDTV flatscreen? Are we to believe that Jesus and Satan made bets; Jesus banked on Denver and Satan took his pick with Big Ben and Pittsburgh? Does the god of the Bible really care about football? Does Tim really believe that the Christian god is behind his wins? Is Tebow that much of a disillusioned Christian that he actually believes that Jesus Christ has influence over who wins games in the NFL? Is he under the impression that if he keeps the commandments, he'll win games, but if he sins, he'll lose games? What is the take with Tim Tebow and his over zealous Christian personality? More importantly, why is the media giving this kid so much camera time? God has nothing to do the NFL and dozens upon dozens of NFL players have taken a knee when scoring touchdowns.


TebowMania is a joke and SNL (Saturday Night Live) did him justice with their satirical sketch.

2012: Another Apocalyptic Hoax?

     Ten. Nine. Eight. Seven. Six. Five. Four. Three. Two. One. HAAAAPPPPYYYY NNNEEWWW YYEEEAARRRR!!!!!!


     2012. It is now 2012.  What we do know about 2012? Besides it being the so-called Year of the Israelites (another one of their yearly misomers, i.e. Year of Glory, Year of Recognition, etc.) according to Tazadaqyah and the nefarious ICGJC (Israelite Church of God in Jesus Christ), what is 2012? What is the hype? What is the hysteria? What is the popularity with 2012?


     Sadly, 2012 is NOT the Year of the Israelites. In fact, 2012 is not many things. In the context of this blog, 2012 is NOT the end of the world!! There isn't any evidence to support that the world will not come to an end some time this year. On the flip side, there isn't any evidence to support that the world will come to an end some time this year. Nonetheless, 2012 is not the end of the world and this is written with great assertion. There are many reasons why 2012 is not the end of the world. One of them being the obvious: 2012 is just Another Apocalyptic Hoax.


     Let us ponder to a prominent apocalyptic hoax of our time: Y2K. How many of you remember the Y2K apocalypse frenzy? It was 1999 and the world was dawning to the year 2, 000. It was alleged that computers would crash and that humanity would return to its premitive state. People emptied out their bank accounts. Some quit their jobs. Others bought water and canned goods in abundance. Accordingly, the "world was coming to an end". Misguided religious groups and false prophets evangelized the Second Coming of Jesus by the year 2, 000. In fact, one alleged prophet who is erroneously called the God Sent Comforter, while at the same time, is mistakenly called Apostle & Chief High Priest Tazadaqyah, but should properly be called Jermaine Grant, has made the error of stating Jesus' Second Coming by the year 2, 000; this is something that the malignant ICGJC  gloried in during that era-that "black Jesus Christ would return and the white man would go into slavery". If there is any doubt that a "man of God" or a religious organization could make such a novice error, press play and watch the video.


     Essentially, that is what signified the Y2K apocalyptic hoax-fear, confusion and lies. 12 years later, that same circus-like atmosphere has resurfaced to haunt gullible and naive minds. As a result of the Mayans' prophecy, the idea that the world is coming to an end has plagued the minds of many once again. What the eyes see and the ears hear, the mind believes. The media and Hollywood has endorsed this lie; news and television broadcasts promoted the Mayans' fallacious prediction of catastrophic 2012, embedding in the minds of the feeble and easily influenced that the world will end come 2012. Not to mention 2012 and its propaganda; people actually exhibited fear and sorrow while watching a fictional perspective of the Mayans' miscalculated prediction. 


     The fear, the confusion and the lies will only exist if you give them life. For those of you who are afraid that there will be a Day of Darkness in 2012; for those of you who are confused and aren't certain on whether to live your life as you normally would; for those of you that are gullible and allow such lies to have an impact on your life; for all of you that are guilty of allowing the fear, the confusion and the lies to manipulate and have power over your lives, think back to the Y2K hoax and the frenzy it created. Ponder on how people relinquished their possessions ignorantly. Reflect on how people lived in fear and uncertainty. Think as far back as 12 years ago, when it was believed that the world would come to an end and ask yourself, "Is 2012 just another apocalyptic hoax?"

The True Meaning of Christmas

     Now that you’ve bought your Christmas tree, you've gone to your Christmas parties and wasted hundred of dollars buying gifts for family, friends and coworkers, either because you wanted to or because it was a traditional office Kris Cringle shenanigan (not to mention that you forgot that the first of the month is right around the corner and now you have bills piling); now that you've gone to Mass at your local parish, or service at your local church; now that you’ve had Christmas dinner and experienced all kind of quagmires with some drunk relative or an argument with your in-laws, you are all Chrismased-out and getting ready for the New Year.

     For those of you that did celebrate Christmas, why do you celebrate Christmas? Do you celebrate Christmas because you’re a Christian (give or take you’re not a Jehovah’s Witness, a Latter-day Saint, or a reformed Seven Day Adventist)? Do you celebrate Christmas because it’s the norm (“Everyone else is doing it.”)? Do you celebrate Christmas because you have children (“How do I tell my kids Santa isn’t real?”)? Whatever the case may be, at the end of the day, can you convey to anyone the actual meaning of Christmas? What is it about? Why do people buy gifts? Why is there so much greenery? Why is there a Yule log? When was it incorporated into Christian culture? What exactly is the true meaning of Christmas?

     For starters, people associate Christmas with the birth of the Christian god, Jesus, the giving of gifts, and merriment. There are carols dedicated to a red-nosed rein deer, bells that are either silver or jingle, or a mother kissing Santa. You can expect to see representatives of the Salvation Army posted up collecting donations with their annoying bell, or endless commercials advertising holiday sales that can’t be beat. There are different elements that embody the “Christmas spirit”, but what is their significance? What do they mean?

     This will be hard to grasp if you’re a Christian (save you’re a JW, a Mormon or a nonreformed SDA), but Christmas would have no meaning or significance if it was not for pagan customs. Sure, that is a bold and possibly, a “blasphemous” thing to say (“How dare they allege that my holy, Christmas day has something to do with those godless pagans?!). Nevertheless, what are the facts about Christmas?

     According to the Encyclopedia of Christmas, before your December 25th celebration was even called Christmas, it was known as Festum Nativitatis Domini Nostri Jesu Christi, meaning the Feast of the Nativity of our Lord Jesus Christ. December 25th  was considered the Dies Natalis Domini (Birthday of the Lord) by a juvenile calculation of the Church; it was believed that Jesus was conceived in the spring (March 25th) and therefore, he was born in the winter (December 25th). The earliest records mention the celebration of Jesus' nativity under the Philocalian calendar in 336 AD. The celebration of the birth of Christ did not begin until the fourth century. This means the earliest Christians did not celebrate Jesus' birth!

     Why did Christians and the Church take so long to come up with a feast dedicated to Christ’s birth? Let’s examine the time the feast is first mentioned-336 AD. By this time, Constantine was the first Roman Emperor to convert to Christianity and with his conversion, Christianity became a legal religion in Rome, which eliminated Christian persecution. Eventually, it became the official religion of Rome. This was the perfect time to increase its popularity and eliminate pagan Rome. One of the ways to do this was by incorporating pagan customs into Christianity.  The Catholic Church did this by Christianizing pagan Rome as a means of steering people away from pagan festivities.
     For example, pagan Rome had festivals such as Saturnalia that paid homage to the Roman god of agriculture, Saturn. Like the present day Christmas feast, it was a time of merry and gift-giving in the winter. In addition, there were feasts dedicated to Mithras and Sol Invictus, whose birthdays were celebrated on December 25th. There is no Biblical evidence to support that Jesus was born December 25th whatsoever. Even the World Book Encyclopedia will tell you that no one knows the date of Jesus' birth; however, in an attempt to convert pagans, the Catholic Church Christianized pagan customs to appease pagans. This is the very reason why there are so many pagan elements surrounding Christmas; Christianity had competition and the only way to compete was to assimilate and this was done by absorbing pagan customs into Christianity-an attempt to convert pagans. The Christmas Encyclopedia conveys that some Christians tried to outplay the solar deities by claiming that the true unconquered Sun was Jesus; after all, Biblical literature does allude to him as the Sun of Righteousness.

     Furthermore, the Yule log, too, has its origins in pagan culture. The Yule log is one of many pre-Christian Norse feasts (from mid-November to mid-January); sacrifices were made to the Aesir gods. In World Mythology and Legend, we read that the Yule log burning was a custom of lighting a log in honor of Thor with a fragment of the previous year’s log. In a typical move made by the Church, the Yule log was Christianized for no other reason-to convert pagans. Interestingly, the Church's explanation was that the preservation of the last year’s Yule log was effective in preventing fire in the house; this is how the Yule log has become apart of Christmas tradition. There is no correlation between the Yule log and the nativity of Jesus, just the influence of pagan culture.
     What's the true meaning of Christmas? Christmas is signified through the customs and festivities of pagan culture. Christmas would have no importance or relevance if it was not for pagan culture. If it was not for pagan culture, there would be no greenery decor during the Christmas season. If it was not for pagan culture, there would be no singing or gift giving during the Christmas season. If it was not for pagan culture, there would be no Yule log during the Christmas season. If it was not for pagan culture, the nativity of Jesus would not be on December 25th and do not for once think that this is blasphemy or heresy; this isn't blasphemy or heresy. Do not think that this is being said to promote apostasy. Even Christians acknowledge Christmas to be pagan; this is why Jehovah Witnesses do not celebrate Christmas. The World Book Encyclopedia inclines that Christians considered Christmas to be pagan because of its nonreligious customs dating as far back as the Reformation (1500's). In fact, Christmas was outlawed in England as well as in parts of their American colonies during the 1600's.    
     The true meaning of Christmas? Christmas is a pagan custom that was Christianized and this much is known by Christians.

Misconceptions of Atheism

    We are not atheists. In no way, shape, or form, are we atheists. We are mistaken to be atheists by the ignorant. Nonetheless, we are not atheists. Do we believe in the god of the Christians? No. Do we believe in the god of Israel? No. Do we believe in Allah, the Benevolent? No. Not even remotely do we believe in any of the aforementioned deities. Nonetheless, our disbelief in these deities is not the result of atheism. Misconceptions of Atheism will explain atheism in its simplest form. If you have a twisted understanding on atheism, your understanding on the subject is about to be uncoiled.


    You're probably thinking, "How can a person not be an atheist; yet, don't believe in Jesus, Allah, or Yaweh?" Well, the answer is simple: not believing in Jesus as the "Son of God", or Allah the Benevolent, or Yaweh, does not signify atheism. Here's a moment of truth: by definition, an infidel is a person that has no religious faith (Webster's Dictionary). American Writer Abrose Bierce, made an interesting point, "Infidel: in New York, one who does not believe in the Christian religion; in Constantinople, one who does." What's the point? Understanding the meaning of words and how they are used in certain places and at certain time periods is important.


      In having saying that, what is the meaning of atheism? How has the word atheism been used in certain places at certain times? Is atheism defined as not believing in the Judeo-Christian god? Is atheism signified as not believing in Allah, the god of the Muslims? Well, if you tell a Christian that you don't believe in Jesus, you will immediately be labeled an atheist. You could possibly have a set of religious tenets and a deity that you worship, but since you don't believe in the Christian god, you're instantly demonized and deemed a atheist. Why? You don't share the belief in the same god.


      For example, in ancient Rome, the early Christians were alluded to as atheists. How can a Christian be an atheist? How can a person that believes in a god, be an atheist at the same time? Well, consider the time and place of reference: Christianity did not become a legal religion in Rome until Constantine. Up until that point, Christians were persecuted and held their liturgies in catacombs. The god of the Christians was not recognized as the Supreme Being. At that time, there were many gods: Zeus, Mithra, Dionysus, and Sol Invictus. Christianity was a new religion with its new god, Jesus Christ. Why should the Romans, who had their own system of theology, incorporate a foreign and new god into their pantheon?


     Therefore, in the Writings of Justin Martyr, we read Justin Martyr (2nd century Christian apologist) making a defense for Christians, "We are called atheists and we confess that we are atheists, so far as [the pagan gods] are concerned, but not with respect to the most True God . . ." From this passage, we can deduce that people associate atheism with not believing in their god. Second century Christians did believe in a god-Jesus Christ. So what made them "atheists"? They were considered "atheists" because of their unbelief in the Greco-Roman gods. Although they did believe in a god, they were still "atheists" because they didn't believe in a god of another theology system. Is this the genuine and proper meaning of atheism?


      Essentially, one can properly understand the meaning of words by understanding the etymology of that word. For instance, atheism derives from the Greek word atheos. Since theos is preceded by the prefix a, the only conclusion to reach is this: atheos means without god. Look up the word atheism in a lexicon that provides the etymology of words if you doubt what you are reading. Nonetheless, atheism can only be signified as being godless or not believing in the existence of gods. If a person believes in Zeus, but not Jesus, that person is not an atheist; Zeus is a god as much as Jesus is a god. The discussion on the historicity and divinity of each god is another topic. Reverting back to the topic at discussion, believing in one god while at the same time, not believing in another god, is not atheism. Although the early Christians did not believe in the Greco-Roman gods, that did not mean they were atheists; they did believe in a god. If a person does not believe in the Judeo-Christian god, but does acknowledge that there is a Divine Force, that person cannot be and is not an atheist.

What Is The Apostate Commission?

Rebel Alliance Media, The Apostate Commission and The Federationf of Logic & Reason
     The Apostate Commission. What is the Apostate Commission? The Apostate Commission is more than just a seditious appellation. It is more than just a group of "heretics" or "schismatics" driven to wreak division and contention amongst Christians. It is more than just a group of "blasphemers" that make mockery of Judeo-Christianity and its deity. It is more than just a group of "antichrists" that "profane the name of God". It is more than just a group of "demons" who allude to themselves as members of the Trinity. No, this is not what signifies the Apostate Commission!


     The Apostate Commission offers more than just "mischief". They are an authoritative Force that excites the critical and analytical mind. They are a living Force that compels the mind to engage in independent thought. This is how one should become an apostate; this is how one should forsake a religion-applying critical and analytical thinking skills when it comes to organized religion and sacred literature such as the Bible and the Koran.

     How many adherents of organized religion are critical and analytical thinkers? How many adherents of organized religion employ independent thought? Devout Jews, pious Christians and loyal Muslims can't think for oneself. They don't know how to be critical thinkers. They don't know how to be analytical thinkers. Organized religion has a tight grip on their minds. Organized religion teaches its adherents not to think for themselves; they forbid it! Biblical literature can be quoted saying, "Lean not on your own understanding" or "I will give you pastors . . . which shall feed you with knowledge and understanding". This convinces its reader that thinking for oneself is sinister! This manipulates the adherent into thinking that the only way to God is through an ecclesiastical figure; that the only way to understanding sacred literature is through an ecclesiastical figure. Ecclesiastical figures are adulated and worshiped; they are very influential on their sheep. Adherents can be quoted saying, "Let me ask my pastor first" or "I have to see what my pastor says". Some of them even read key study Bibles! A person can't be an analytical reader of the Bible by reading a key study Bible. A person can't apply critical thinking skills while reading a key study Bible; a key study Bible prevents its reader from reaching an independent conclusion on a passage.

     What's the point? The point is this: as long as a person is void of independent thought and critical and analytical thinking skills, that person will forever be a prisoner of organized religion. That person will not even consider pagan theology and mythology's influence on organized religion. That person will not even consider Comparative Theology (religion) research. That person will not consider becoming an apostate because according to that person, that person's religion is divinely inspired and true. According to that person, the idea that pagan theology and mythology having any influence to the development and success of that person's religion is diabolical.


     The Apostate Commission consists of former adherents of organized religion that have done their research on pagan theology and mythology. The Apostate Commission consists of former adherents of organized religion that have done their research on Comparative Theology (religion). They apply their innate gifts of independent thought and critical and analytical thinking skills to the discussion of religion. They are the blueprint on how and why to become an apostate. Don't forsake a religion because of personal reasons. Forsake a religion because that religion is fallible and not divinely inspired. Forsake a religion because you took the time to research the credibility of that religion and its sacred text.
