Abrahamic Super Caste System
Chosen and Non-Chosen
People (Heathens/Pagans and Infidels)
From the pulpit of Calvary
Baptist Church, the Reverend
W. L. Pettingill said this in 1923:
"Only
those who believe in Christ as God, in His Virgin Birth and in His
Resurrection in the body-the irreducible minimum of the Christian
faith-will go to heaven.
Those who deny any or all of
these tenets will be lost-they will go to hell" ... "We
have got to smoke them out," cried the reverend.

Jews,
derived from the seed of Abraham, are considered the 'Chosen People.' In
Christianity, The Believing Christians are superior to Pagans.
This supercaste
system of Christianity does not leave us pagan humans even after we die, because
we 'Pagans or Heathens' are condemned
to everlasting Hell, while Christians go to everlasting Heaven.
Modern Christian sects are also like 'spiritual' castes, with each sect
consigning members of the other sect to Hell. Thus, the Baptists would like
Mormons to plunge into everlasting Hell-Fire and vice
versa. In many Christian countries, you cannot be the President, and have
unequal inheritance rights etc., if you are not a Christian. In
countries like Italy and Russia, Hinduism is not even recognized officially as a
religion!
Islam "This 'egalitarian' faith divides mankind into 4 castes: 1.
Momins, or believing Muslims who have the Divine Right from al-Llah, to own all land, to have special rights over Infidels (Kafirs). The
testimony of Kafirs is worth only 1/2 that of Momins. Only Momins can go to
Heaven. Thus, both the spiritual and the mundane domain are the fief of the
Momins alone. Kafirs either pay the Jaziya tax to
practice their religion (albeit still under severe disabilities) or are
condemned to death.

"If you
live your life and don't confess your sins to God almighty through the
authority of Christ and his blood, I'm going to say this very plainly,
you're going straight to hell with a nonstop ticket," Rev.John
Hagee (founder and Pastor of Cornerstone Church) said
during a service interspersed with religious and patriotic videos.

Asked afterward
at a political rally whether he agreed with Mr. Hagee, the Governor
said he didn't hear anything that he would take exception to. He
said that he believes in the inerrancy of the Bible and that those who
don't accept Jesus as their savior will go to hell.

Abrahamic
Monopoly over God ? To
some, God is private property
Christians,
Jews and Muslims claim to "own" God (though
not all members of these religions make this claim). Native
Americans, though, seem not to have this sense of ownership of
God and the earth. Rather, they tend to feel "owned"
by God, even as they "owe" the earth for their
existence. Two widely divergent worldviews.
If religion turns some
men into beasts, what have we done to prevent these beasts from
usurping the power of the State to promote their dire
objectives? Very little. For about fifteen hundred years, these
‘beasts’ kept Europe in darkness. Thanks to Christian
dogmatism, it was a felony for a professed Christian to question
the tenets of his faith. The Reformation, the
Renaissance and the Age of Reason finally broke the spell of
religion in Europe. “Thou shalt not
kill,” commands the Old Testament. With what result?
Christians killed the Pagans.
And the Muslims killed the kafirs.
All through history, the most ‘sanctified’ form of murder
has been of those who refused to convert. “What
has degraded religion to a theatre of cruelty and barbarity,”
says Valson Thampu, an Indian Christan leader, “is the
ownership mentality of the devotees vis-a-vis their respective
gods. Yet the truth is that a God owned exclusively by a segment
of the human species is no God,” he asserts.
"People
who think of God as a warrior may become warriors themselves,
whether in a Christian crusade, a Muslim jihad, or an
apocalyptically oriented militia. People who think of
God as righteous are likely to emphasize righteousness
themselves, just as those who think of God as compassionate are
likely to emphasize compassion. People who think God is angry at
the world are likely to be angry at the world themselves."
- says Author Marcus Borg, The
God We Never Knew.
In his book, Perennial
philosophy - Aldous
Huxley indeed gives due respect to Hinduism,
Buddhism and Taoism stating clearly that History centric
religions indeed are driven by conquest mentality and hence
potential for violence exists all the time because of " Market
share" and conversion mentality.

Untouchability and Racism
Yes, untouchability is a major
social evil in India. But why does the blame for it get laid at the feet of
Hinduism, when Christianity is not blamed for racism in other countries? Anti-Semitism,
which is still a major problem in Christian countries, is a result of the belief
by Christians that Jews were responsible for the death of Jesus. Racial hatred
of black people has its basis in religion, for the black Africans are regarded
the offspring of the cursed Ham, son of Noah, a story recounted in the Old
Testament of the Christian Bible. The story of the curse was freely used by
Christian ministers and priests to justify slavery right up to the 19th
century and is still used today by America’s white supremacists.
Why, then, is untouchability, which
isn’t even supported by our scriptures in the way it exists today, a
“fault” of Hinduism, while racism and anti-Semitism are not the “fault”
of Christianity? Hate crimes are such a problem in the West that
hate-crime legislation has had to be implemented in the last several decades in
several countries, including the US and UK, to deal with it by adding additional
penalties to any crime committed with racial hatred as a factor.

Interracial marriage was a crime in South Carolina as late as 1998 when the
state repealed its anti-miscegenation law. Although the repeal was supported by
a majority of voters in a referendum, almost 40 per cent opposed it. Among
them was a Republican state representative who argued interracial marriage was
"not what God intended when he separated the races back in Babylonian
days." His stance, he acknowledged, probably stemmed from his Southern
Baptist upbringing.
