    The Bible is only a combination of mythologies, epic events, and stories taken from different places and different civilizations adapted to the Hebrews to give them certain hopes and written by priests.

    They also worshipped Baal
    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baal

    Baal was a major ancient Canaanite and Phoenician deity, revered as the god of storms, fertility, and rain, crucial for agriculture. Often depicted holding a lightning bolt, he was considered the “Lord of Heaven” or “Master”. In the Bible, Baal is portrayed as a false god and primary rival to the Hebrew God, with worship involving intense, sometimes sexualized, rituals that Canaanites believed ensured prosperity

    At the beginning, the Bible was written by polytheist priests in Babylonia, the Syrians and the Caldeans, and Jehovah is the summation of several pagan gods. That historical passage was corroborated by the Rosacrucians

    It has already been proven by different sources that everything is fake and did not take place, including the existence of Jesus and his zealots. The real name of that movement should be Jesuism.

    In Rome, there were too many christs and christians sects, but the Egyptian mythology prevailed

    https://oscarperdomoleon.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/11/carcenac-b-jesus-3000-anos-antes-de-cristo.pdf. Jesus 3000 years before Christ, it was an Egyptian god, written by an ex-catholic priest

    Mankind has created more than 14 million gods, and India has a warehouse of gods and goddesses, and they have their own ‘sacred book’, like the Mayas,https://yucatantoday.com/en/blog/el-popol-vuh, the Aztecs, the Iliad and the Odyssey.

    The Greek mythology was part of the Humanities curriculum of certain universities during the 60; it was a much better read than the Bible.

    The ten commandments, the exodus, and all those biblical figures were made famous by Hollywood filmmakers to make money and alienate people based on false narratives.

    Engels wrote the real history of the Roman Christians

    I don’t think there is any relationship between the primitive Christianity of Rome and the Greek New Testament, nor is there any relationship between the Roman primitive Christianity and Paul.

    Throughout history, there were many Christs and several messiahs, and according to the rosacrucians it was the belief that “salvation” was going to come through the Egyptians instead of the Hebrews

    https://www.simonandschuster.com/books/The-Bible-Unearthed/Israel-Finkelstein/9780684869131

    This book unearths many false historical narratives and mythologies of the bible incuding the Exodus, which never took place. and there are not any evidences about the existence of Moses and other biblical figures

    The concept of apocalyptic has been twisted because it was a type of literature that existed in ancient history, and instead of bringing justice, it was a literary style of hope

    The New Testament has been arranged in the wrong order; the letter of Paul should be first, and then the gospel

    While the most widely documented “martyrs of Latin America” in recent history are Roman Catholic, particularly during the 20th-century conflicts, Anglican martyrs and missionary casualties in the region include, most notably, the five American missionaries killed in Ecuador in 1956. The Anglican Church in the region has also seen deaths related to political violence and social justice work.

    Key Anglican and Related Missionary Martyrs in Latin America:
    The Ecuador Five (1956): Missionaries Jim Elliot, Pete Fleming, Ed McCully, Nate Saint, and Roger Youderian were killed by the Waodani tribe in Ecuador. Their story is often cited as a profound example of missionary sacrifice in the region.

    Anglican Episcopal Church of Bolivia (2026): The church announced the passing of Diocesan Bishop Walter Toro Martínez, the first Bolivian national to become bishop, who was honoured for his dedication and witness to the gospel.
    Wider Context of Martyrs in Latin America: While thousands of Christian workers—predominantly Catholic priests, nuns, and laypeople—were killed in Latin America between 1962 and the 1990s due to their commitment to marginalised communities, Anglican and protestant missionaries and pastors often worked alongside these efforts in indigenous regions.

    The 20th century saw massive violence against religious figures across Latin America (Mexico, Brazil, Chile, Argentina, and Central America) by authoritarian governments. While many Catholic martyrs are canonised, many more anonymous martyrs from various denominations, including Anglicans, died due to their involvement in social justice and pastoral care

    Priests in Argentina play a significant role in social and religious life, most notably through the curas villeros (slum priests) who work in impoverished neighbourhoods. The Catholic Church in Argentina has a complex history, marked by the influential role of priests in social justice and the “Movement of Priests for the Third World”. Pope Francis, formerly Jorge Bergoglio, is the first Argentine pope.

    Curas Villeros (Slum Priests): These priests live and work in Buenos Aires’ villas miseria (slums), aiming to bring hope, education, and social aid, such as Padre Pepe, a prominent figure in these communities.
    Historical Context (1967-1976): The Movement of Priests for the Third World (MSTM) blended Catholic reform with social activism, aligned with left-wing Peronism, and worked actively in slum areas.

    The Dirty War (1976-1983): During Argentina’s military dictatorship, while some church members were aligned with the government, others were persecuted and killed, including those in the Martyrs of La Rioja.

    Pope Francis’ Role: Before becoming Pope, Jorge Bergoglio served as the Archbishop of Buenos Aires (1998-2013) and was known for supporting the curas villeros and encouraging a humble approach to ministry, often travelling by bus and visiting soup kitchens.

    CDM – ‘I think that the SPGB pamphlet, Socialism and Religion, is more than enough for the working class.’
    Fortunately you and the SPGB don’t get to decide what is ‘more than enough for the working class’. Such arrogance is not helpful.

    ———————————————————

    You have your own opinion, and I have my own opinion, stick yurselves to your opinions. The SPGB has said that without Marx and Engels, they would have created their own version of socialism. Is that arrogance?

    I think that the SPGB pamphlet, Socialism and Religion, is more than enough for the working class. The book How the Gods Were Created, based on historical materialism, is enough for the working class. Engels and Kautsky on Christianity is enough for the working class

    https://medium.com/@s-blog/how-protestant-ethics-shaped-modern-capitalism-5e8c600d8956. How protestants shaped modern capitalism

    Max Weber’s work “The Protestant Ethic and the Spirit of Capitalism” (1905) presents a causal mechanism that connects religious beliefs, particularly the Protestant Reformation, with the emergence and development of modern capitalism. To understand how Weber’s mechanism can be explained using the Macro-Micro-Macro model, we must analyse the relationship between social structures (macro), individual behaviour (micro), and the resulting societal consequences (macro). Overall, Weber challenges the Marxist materialist analysis and instead highlights how ideas, viewed through a sociological perspective on religion, contribute to the development towards modern capitalism.

    Was capitalism historically inevitable?


    “The European Reformation, where the protestant cause became the ideology of the revolutionary bourgeoisie” Max Weber also wrote about that, too

    The point is that socialists oppose the death penalty and violence. Left and right are against the killing of their own, but support the killing of others. Class struggle and political struggle are the real struggles of the world’s working class. The so called anti fascists are also violent, like the fascists

    https://www.marxists.org/archive/martov/1918/07/death-penalty.htm. Down with the death penalty, Martov

    Julius Martov’s 1918 article, “Down with the Death Penalty!”, was a principled, defiant condemnation of the Bolshevik regime’s use of capital punishment during the Red Terror. Martov argued that the death penalty was “savage barbarism” and a tool of political terror employed by leaders who had lost the trust of the people.

    In our time, the killing of a corporation’s CEO and political leaders is useless. Capitalism continues as usual

    Leon Trotsky was assassinated by the same political machinery that he supported, and he was part of the killing of the Bolsheviks and the workers who opposed the soviet state
