Deconstructing Chrisitanity

In the non-canonical Gospel of Thomas, Jesus says that we will only find salvation when we succeed in bringing forth what is within us, namely that spark of divinity that makes human beings the image of God. He then teaches us what is involved in that bringing forth. By the time the Gospel of John was written, approximately 50 years later, this teaching of Jesus was reconstructed into the doctrine that only by believing that Jesus was the Son of God and that he died for our sins as a substitute for us and then rose again would we find salvation. That this Johannine doctine was specifically directed toward the Gospel of Thomas is evident in the story of Doubting Thomas, who said that until he sees and touches the scars of Jesus's torture and cruxifiction he will not believe that Jesus rose from the dead. Doubting Thomas only appears in John. Thomas is given doubt by John because Thomas's Jesus did not fit John's doctrine.
The Gospel of John is one of the early decision points where Chrisitianity became what it is today, namely an organized religion that made Jesus into a God by turning away from virtually everything that Jesus taught and acted upon. This derailment has created a religion whose adherents now support wars in the name of The Prince of Peace, who place worship ahead of doing justice, and who hate those different from themselves rather than following the commandment to love others as one loves oneself.
This blog is an attempt to deconstruct the edifice of Christianity from the point of view of holding Christians accountable for their words and deeds by comparing them to what their God instructed. Is this doing God's work? Don't know. How can I or anyone answer that unless we were to either be deluded or hubristic enough to claim to speak for God?
However, we all should know this. God is a god of justice and righteousness. When Yahweh revealed Itself to Moses it was as a god demanding that human beings create justice on God's earth. God showed that god is not simply a god of fertility, of reproduction (vegetable, animal or human), of making sure the rivers flood and bring forth mud, or of wanting to be worshipped and praised above all else. Why would God want the praise of that which It created out of wet dirt? God expected his creation to be good, as good as when it was first created, and that required that human beings bring forth justice and righteousness. Not just personal virtue, but public, social and common justice that comes from living well together in society. It is not sufficient to God for human beings to hide behind worship and to acquiesce in injustice in their society or their world. Specifically, news items reveal the thuggish quality of contemporary evangelical Christians who have picketed the homes of health care workers, who have assassinated doctors, and who have taken every opportunity to publically condemn and ridicule people different from them. But they go to church and sing "My God is an Awesome God," and think they are holy. Don't think so. Wouldn't want to be them when the time comes to be judged.
Like other people who seek God and who see Jesus as a path to God , I refuse to be called a Christian. The purpose of this blog is to to attempt to illuminate that path, and in so doing perhaps show why I refuse the name.
