"The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God. They
are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that doeth
good."
- Psalm 14:1
Really? Well that is what most Christians believe. But is there any sense of truth to the accusation? Are believers never been corrupt and vile. History disagree. I have always challenge believers to tell me a war made in the name of atheism. Not communism my Christian friends, it's a different struggle. When I say about atheism, I mean a war that was done in the name of being a non-theists.
According to some Christian cults, the Bible is the only effective answer to immorality, wickedness and violence to this modern age. But reading the said book, gives you a different scenario.
Just read how God allows genocide and mass murder. Even children are not sparred. Also, sexism, intollerance, and bigotry is littered on some of its pages.
The Bible is not a moralist dreambook!
Many of its stories are perneated with obcenities, degenerancy and immorality. Some fester profanity and rewards corruption. SEE: EvilBible.com
So what do we expect with its adherents?
Well, bloodshed have been a major factor for the spread of Christianity. Here in the Philippines is a good example of how Christianity propagate, not by peaceful means. Too many people died and suffered. Until now, allot of Christian missionaries are destroying other people's culture and heritage. Too bad...
How about their moral conduct? Well a special case to mention is that of Ex-Mayor Sanchez of Calauan. A very religious man, but still manage to rape a girl and kill her and her boyfriend.
How about the pastors and ministers and priests of God? Hmmmm...well let's see...
Jim Bakker is now on prison for mismanagement of church funds.Oral Roberts who emotionaly blackmailed his viewers to send him millions of dollars in order to prevent the Lord's calling him up to heaven.PTL - The God's Network fal into bankruptcy in June 1987 because of the Bakker's financial problems.The alledge involvement of the Swaggart ministries with the South African terrorist group REMAMO.Who can forget "Little Jimmy" Swaggarts "Jerk-off and Cry" liason with Debra Murphree.A study released that a quarter of clergy have engage in sexual miscunduct.It was estimated that about 3,000 Roman Catholic priests are pedophilac.

Gilbert Gauthe of Luisiana, USA, admitted molesting 37 boys and 1 girl.(For more information on "black collar crimes": Priest Pedophiles and Bishop not Off the Hook Yet and Black Collar Crimes )
So? Is Psalm 14:1 is just another smoke screen on the true nature of believers? Will they be honest enough to expose and incriminate themselves?
Problems will never be solve by the same ideas that created it
