Part 4: How the alleged death of "Jesus Christ" led to Israeli/Palestinian bloodshed.
The Role of the Christian Evangelical Movement in the Exploitation of a Myth.
Back in the early 1980s I walked to a friend’s crib to visit, then decided to have his six-year old son walk with me to Sears department store. As we walked, I said, “Muna!! Me and Muna, walking down the street, together! And we are best friends!” (Continue reading below).
Everything is exciting for a six-year old. But Muna was quiet. I tried again, this time rhythmically:
“Muna and me!
We’re not three.
We’re the best of friends,
as we walk past the tree!”
This time, the silence was instantly broken when Muna said, in a typical child’s, melodic voice. “Noooo, we’re not friends. You’re not my friend.” I smiled, but was puzzled. Captain Kangaroo or Mr. Rogers style, I replied, “Muna! We’re as close as Bugs Bunny and his carrot!”
I was certain that he would burst out laughing. Nope!! He repeated, “No, you’re not my friend.” I go, “But…Muna, I am your friend.” He replied, “No you’re not.” I replied, “Yes I am.” He replied, “Then buy me an ice-cream cone.” We continued on to the store. When we returned back to his home, I said to Aziz, his dad, jokingly (or so I thought), “Aziz, this boy’s gonna grow up to be a lawyer.” Yes! Muna grew up, went to law school, and has been a practicing lawyer for decades.
Obviously, Muna fully understood, at age six, that, as the old saying goes, “Action speaks louder than words,” or, in the more…ahem…adult version, “Money talks, bullshit walks.” Perhaps most people, at one time or another, have displayed some form of hypocrisy. But in religion, the practice of hypocrisy can produce forms of brutal and deadly consequences that seem to have no match. Perhaps that’s because dogmatic “truths,” (otherwise known as myths), coupled with “sanctified,” almost orgasmic emotions, have, in the believer’s mind, the unquestioning authority of God or a god.
I have been religious virtually all of my life, except for a 7-year period in which I adopted another religion: atheism. No, of course atheism isn’t a religion, although I feel certain that at least some readers have come upon the dedicated atheist who dons one of those typical, “Jesus-loves-you” smiles, and preaches atheism as if it’s a religion. I was not that kind of atheist.
When I was still in the work force, once, on my lunch break, when I worked at Sherwood Conservatory of Music, at 11th & Michigan Avenue, in Chicago, I decided to go for a little walk. I saw a bunch of people entering a nearby hotel. They were all smiling brightly and greeting each other. Being a bit adventurous, I decided to follow the crowd (something, as my regular readers know, I can’t STAND to do). As I walked along, I asked someone, “What’s happening here?” She answered, “Our annual atheist convention.”
I walked along, entered the hotel, and followed the crowd up to the second floor of the hotel. Everyone walked down a long hallway. At the end of that hallway, double-doors were wide opened to a large conference room. On each side of the double-doors were smiley-faced “atheists,” greeting the entrants: “Welcome, my brother!” Strange. I entered the conference room.
Nobody knew me from the man on the moon. Those sitting next to me were turning to me; to those on either side of them; to those in the rows in front of them and to those in the rows behind them, shaking hands and donning a sort of…well…evangelical smile. I had to leave—immediately.
I have prayed to the entity known as God. And, quite miraculously, I have had some of my prayers answered in ways that satisfied me that, yes, there is a God.
Nevertheless, I sometimes daydream about what would be the most important goal I would set for myself to achieve in my capacity as Supreme Dictator of the World. And, though I deeply believe in God and an afterlife, the only thing that would make sense to me, as a top priority of my dictatorial administration is the successful suppression of religion. Or, at the very least, a kind of Founding Fathers (of the United States) recognition that religion cannot be allowed to dominate in modern society, except only as a personal belief.
“Oh dearest Lord, God!!! Please bestoweth upon me, through Thine most beneficent Grace, a portion of Thine Wisdom, that, through that Wisdom, I mayeth serve Thee in the establishment of peace on earth through the righteous suppression of religion. Amen!”
Temples, Churches, Synagogues, Mosques, religious schools, would all be required to register with my “government.” To obtain a license to open up a place of worship, guidelines (written by myself) would have to be signed by the appropriate religious officials of religious institutions. At every religious service those guidelines would have to be read to the congregation.
Preachers, Priests, Rabbis, Gurus, Imams and other such religious leaders would be required to take, and pass, a state-sponsored examination (designed by me) before obtaining a “Divinity license,” as I think it’s called. Also required before obtaining that license would be a psychiatric examination conducted by a psychologist, a psychiatrist, or a psychotherapist, examination results demonstrating mental health. Once those two requirements were met, the license would be given, though an annual, required check-up would be required to maintain the license.
Every religious institution would have very well-trained government monitors there. Any sermon contradicting…..well…..me would earn that religious institution permanent closure, a fine of $50,000,000, and life imprisonment (hard labor) for the religious leaders. Just kidding!! (I think). Well, let’s get started.
In Part 1 and Part 2 of this series, I showed how many researchers have proven that the figure known as “Jesus Christ,” Yeshua, Yehoshuwah, Yesu, Yuz Asaf
Was crucified, but survived that ordeal, a normal occurrence for such victims
Traveled to Kashmir, India
Married
Had children
Lived to be 120 years old
Died
Was (and still is) buried in the Kan Yar section of the capital city of Srinagar, Kashmir, India (see picture of the Rozabal Shrine in Part 1 of this series).
I demonstrated, producing facts, especially in Part 1, that the Church of Rome1 , for 795 years, intensely and very consciously and very deliberately persecuted the Jews, in Europe, because of a Christian doctrine that was reflected in a declaration that I, as well as every student at Corpus Christi Grammar School, in Chicago, was required to recite before class started for the day, for all eight grades:
I stated that the 795 years of non-stop persecution of the Jews by the Church of Rome produced a siege mentality2 that exists to this day, the obvious example being what is now, at this very moment, being characterized, by the nations of the world, in various ways, such as “war crimes” or “collective punishment” or “genocide” of the Palestinian people, particularly in Gaza, by the State of Israel.
In Part 2 I presented information about the post-crucifixion travels of Jesus to Kashmir. At the end of Part 1, Part 2, and Part 3 I provided a list of documentaries and books for the reader’s study, all of which prove that Jesus survived the crucifixion and went on to live a long life. I present that same information at the end of this article, Part 4.
In this current Part 4, which is very short (but very powerful), you will learn about the lopsided and extremely dangerous power of the evangelical Christian community, which is guided by the desire of “Jesus Christ,” a dead, buried man, to return to this earth. Coupled with that desire is their desire for the State of Israel to become a total Jewish State, devoid of the presence of non-Jews. According to evangelical Christian doctrine, it is when the Jews of Israel are totally dominant in the State of Israel, “cleansed” of non-Jews, that Jesus will return “in power and glory,” two states of being that, during his ministry on earth, he wanted nothing to do with.
The young man in the below, powerful video documentary, produced five years ago, says, with regard to Evangelical Christian Zionists, “Because, according to their interpretation of the Bible, Jewish control of the Holy Land will lead directly to the second coming of Christ.” This belief has caused a cold-hearted, inhuman view of non-Jews that live in Palestine as hinderances that are in the way of the so-called “return” of “Jesus Christ” to this earth. Jesus loves you.
This short, very powerful Vice News,12-minute documentary about the Christian Evangelical Zionist movement, the largest pro-Israeli voting block in the world—larger than Jewish voting blocks—tells it all. Christian Evangelical Zionists are four times the size of the entire global Jewish population.
Now, here’s an updated report on the same subject, Evangelical Christian Zionism, posted just three days ago, November 15, 2023, at Amy Goodman’s Democracy Now YouTube channel. As you’ll see, the humongous problem—because that’s what it is—of Evangelical Christian Zionism is worse than ever, more powerful than ever, and more dangerous than ever.
So, the entire world, at this very moment—and I’m talking about plants, insects, animals, and humans—is in mortal jeopardy of losing their lives, in part because of the desire of Christian Evangelical Zionists of a dead person to “return” to this earth for Christianity. Sorry [No I ain’t], but I make no apologies for criticizing such madness.
This ends this series. Summary of this series: For 795 years, Christianity persecuted the Jews in Europe. This led to what might be considered [I certainly see it this way] as a siege mentality that, within a very short period of time, led to what we see happening right now before our very eyes: the horrible conflict in Gaza, where the State of Israel has exacted vastly disproportionate punishment not on Hamas soldiers, but, rather, on non-combatant Palestinian men, women, and children. The estimated figure of such deaths, at this moment, is 12,000.
Also, because of the same myth regarding the alleged death, resurrection, ascension, and return of “Jesus Christ,” all life ON EARTH is now threatened because of the Christian Evangelical Zionist movement’s religious desire that every single non-Jew in Israel somehow be removed from Israel so that Israel will be a fully Jewish State, so that “Jesus Christ” can return, according to the Christian Evangelical Zionist movement’s interpretation of the Bible.
It does not matter to the Christian Evangelical Zionist movement that we’re on the very edge of a possible vast regional war breaking out in the Middle East. It does not matter to the Christian Evangelical Zionist movement that a regional conflict in the Middle East has a very real possibility of morphing into a global conflict that could lead to a thermo-nuclear war that could wipe out all life on earth. All that matters to the Christian Evangelical Zionist movement is that

Ms. Prophet says that Jesus traveled to India, Nepal, Ladakh, and Tibet.
