			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>House of the United States of America:<br />
Warbucks Intra-Family Communique</p>
<p>I know that you don&#8217;t like to think this, but we are much like humans. We are subject to the human frailties. We forget. We get slip-shod. We fall short of our disciplines. You have selected me to be the family coordinator and I agreed to be, at least until someone better comes along. So that&#8217;s why I&#8217;m now reminding you of some of our basic principles for handling slaves.</p>
<p>Our slaves can get bored easily. When bored, they get restless. They start thinking, and questioning order.  Therefore it is necessary for us to direct their thinking into areas which keep them dependent on our <strong>leadership</strong>.  We must make them feel dependent on society for all their needs. Make them feel important to the Great Whole to which they belong. Keep them too deep in <strong>debt</strong> to have any spare time to experiment with principles of self-sufficiency, or even just getting out of hole.</p>
<p>A few of the slaves who refuse to conform are <strong>squatting</strong> in various places and planting their apple seeds, plum pits, grape seeds, avocado pits, orange seeds, nuts of all kinds and vegetables. They are not using our hybrid seeds. They found organic natural seeds more productive. They are creating Gardens of Eden, with free food, no rent and and acceptance of the Golden Rule instead of <strong>Government</strong>. So far, only a few of the smarter nonconformists are doing this. This gets them off our case; however, we must not give them any publicity, as it might encourage more our workers to not conform.</p>
<p>The family came up with a great innovation when they first decided to &#8220;allow&#8221; the peons to &#8220;own&#8221; land. <strong>Ownership</strong> gives them roots ties them down and makes it a easier to find them. It also gives us a classification of slave known as <strong>landlords</strong>.  They serve us by forcing people to pay them rent in order to have a space to sleep on this planet.  Thus they all <strong>work</strong> for us for the rest of their lives. We must always make them think that this is normal and that everyone has always had to pay <strong>rent</strong> and that they always will.</p>
<p>If the slaves deviate from present thought patterns, they might think it strange that they &#8220;agree&#8221; to <strong>work</strong> for us for 30 years to buy a place to sleep. They might wonder why some &#8220;primitive&#8221; people are able to build their homes from the material at hand in a couple of weeks and have no <strong>mortgage</strong> to pay. They might even find it simpler, more enjoyable and even more adventuresome to walk to where they wish to go instead of working for us to earn money to make perpetual <strong>car payments</strong> to us, so that they can get to a <strong>job</strong> to make the <strong>money</strong> to make their <strong>car payments</strong>.  To say nothing of the car maintenance costs and depreciation. We must constantly entice them to <strong>buy</strong>.  They make much better workers if are always in <strong>debt</strong>.</p>
<p>If we allow them space to think, they may question the vehicle with which they are killing themselves: 50,800 persons dead and 1,900,000 disabled in 1981 in the United States alone.They may see how machines and their present manufacturing processes are destroying their life-support system.  They may see that all the processed <strong>junk food</strong> we&#8217;re selling them is making them sick and costing them more; see that their boring, unsatisfying <strong>jobs</strong> are driving many of them crazy. They might even discover the simplest unprocessed foods which are cheap and healthful.</p>
<p>As it is recorded in our family archives, one of our forefathers, Galus Julius Caesaer once sald: &#8220;<strong>Give them breed and circuses, to keep them from rebelling</strong>.&#8221; It is a simple matter to give them food, but it takes a little more imagination to give them circuses. I guess this is the creative part of being slave masters &#8211; to create <strong>diversions</strong> to keep their gullible little minds busy.</p>
<p>Our <strong>Watergate Scandal</strong> was a fine circus.  It kept them thinking and talking along safe lines for years.  We are still getting some mileage out of the <strong>Kennedy Assassination</strong> and they still aren&#8217;t sure whether we shot the real Kennedy, his double or a dummy. We have fine show going on Central America and in the Middle East, some still lingering in Germany, others in Vietnam, the USSR and China.</p>
<p>We may use the recent invasion to start another World War. It will be a challenge to attempt to involve our sheep in another big war, so soon after the last one. However, we may be able to pull it off, to get them angry enough to fight. We wouldn&#8217;t need to use the older nuclear bombs, as they could be dangerous to our families&#8217; health. We might use a few of our cleaner H-Bombs. It will be a creative, fun time for us. Wars are truly the sport of kings. They are more fun to stage and run than chess games, or are hum-drum activities of production or politics.</p>
<p>Creating straw men for slaves to knock down is one of our best numbers. We set it up and let them tear it down. It diverts much of their creative energy. We create another excellent diversion by resisting their efforts to tear it down.</p>
<p>We learned long ago that people can think only one thought line at a time. We feed them thoughts and they either fight them or go along with them.</p>
<p><strong>Music</strong> has always been an effective tool for setting their moods, their pace and leading their thoughts.  While <strong>dancing</strong> they learn to step to the beat of our drummer and keep the pace we set. This teaches them to obey orders. The drum has always been useful for this. We let them touch each other during the dance.  They seem to enjoy touching and they feel successful when they keep in step, so this training process becomes self-perpetuating.  It also serves as an excellent distraction.</p>
<p>They must occupy their minds with keeping in step to the beat and with how they are going to entice their partners to deb.  If they are constantly bombarded with distractions they will have no time to do any real thinking.  They will only be aware of that which we make them aware.</p>
<p>Our closest guarded secret is the fact that slavery still exists in every country on this planet.</p>
<p>Laborers, farmers, traders, professionals, managers, directors and presidents &#8211; all take <strong>pay</strong>, so they must obey our orders. They are not aware of their bondage. Some are vaguely aware of the idea that &#8220;big money” runs everything.  But they are unable to relate to the idea that they are part of that &#8220;everything.&#8221;</p>
<p>They think that they are free people, making all their own decisions We allow them to make the unimportant ones.  The important ones we cover in their <strong>laws</strong>, and in their <strong>customs</strong> and <strong>religious</strong> and <strong>moral codes</strong>.  We have even trained them to <strong>punish</strong> their own kind when they do not conform.</p>
<p>We have been masters for a long, long, time. We teach kids how to <strong>work</strong>, to be submissive and to obey orders. These kids grow up to he good slaves, like their parents. Most of the parents even go so far as to break their own kid&#8217;s spirits. So by the time they are of work age,   them are docile, gullible and easy to manipulate.</p>
<p>Through all our <strong>media</strong>, including <strong>books</strong>, we give them a substitute for living. For example, we encourage them to live vicariously through the exciting adventures of fiction.  This puts their fantasy life through an exciting energy drain which seems to satisfy some of their emotional hunger.</p>
<p>This substitute fills one of those spaces in time which they might have used to go out and experience life first-hand.  Distractions keep them from discovering the bondage they are in. We must continue to titillate them to want to watch television and movies, to read <strong>newspapers</strong>, <strong>magazines</strong> and <strong>books</strong> to listen to <strong>radio</strong> and <strong>music</strong>.</p>
<p>We use the mass media not only for a distraction but also to help create their basic beliefs and expectations. Of course, the <strong>schools</strong> and <strong>churches</strong> serve this purpose too, as do popular songs and <strong>music</strong>. We use the media to create the desire to buy. In this way we motivate them to <strong>work</strong> for us.</p>
<p>They continue to administer to our needs as they did to Caeser&#8217;s and as they did for the priests in the time of the great pyamids. Our ancestors really knew how to handle people!  As slaves get more <strong>education</strong> it takes a little more finesse to keep on top of them; however, it&#8217;s basically the same even today. Keep them <strong>fearful</strong>; fearful of death, fearful of pain, fearful of each other. Always encourage <strong>competition</strong>: it&#8217;s like fighting, separates people and keeps them fearful of <strong>losing</strong>.</p>
<p>We have made them afraid of death by telling them that they have spirits which live on after their death. If they obey our rules, which we tell them were inspired by <strong>God</strong>, their spirits will be assured entrance into Heaven or reincarnated into a better existence, depending on which of our <strong>religions</strong> they have chosen. This makes them afraid to die, because they know they haven&#8217;t obeyed all the <strong>rules</strong> (which we deliberately made too difficult to always be obeyed). If they can be kept afraid they are more easy to manage. Then they look to us for guidance and protection.</p>
<p>Promoting fear of pain is another distraction we have always used. We must not give them time to discover that pain is their body&#8217;s method of alerting them to the fact that they are doing something wrong to it. So before they can check out the reason for the pain, we channel them to a <strong>doctor</strong> who will attempt to numb the pain. The <strong>doctor</strong> will take up <strong>time</strong> and <strong>money</strong> doing so. It creates a great diversion, and <strong>debt</strong>. Some people talk about their pain constantly. The patients&#8217; pain will usually return (sometimes to a different part of their body) after their cure.  <strong>Doctors</strong> usually don&#8217;t remove the cause of pains. This would put them out of business.</p>
<p>We hire some of the slaves to act as <strong>police</strong> and <strong>soldiers</strong> so that we can threaten to inflict pain and <strong>imprisonment</strong> on the others. They literally enforce their own slavery when they take jobs in law enforcement and the military. We keep them too busy and too broke to realize this.</p>
<p><strong>Sports</strong> and <strong>gambling</strong> have always been good spectacle.  <strong>Sex</strong> may rate second place,<strong> drugs</strong> third. We have achieved a sort mass hypnosis by using <strong>movies</strong>, <strong>TV</strong> and <strong>music</strong>, with which we have been able to implant suggestions and beliefs without their being aware of it.</p>
<p>We may need to give our <strong>ecology program</strong> front page coverage again soon. It can take up the <strong>Slack</strong> to hold their attention in case it is untimely to start a war now.</p>
<p>Remember, the Warbucks family has ruled on this planet for six thousand years, so it is our right and destiny to continue doing so.  Keep up the good work and if you have any problems, contract Alexandria or Ernest, as I&#8217;m taking a little vacation.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>OUTLAW CHRISTIANITY!  DEATH TO ALL CHRISTIANS!</strong></p>
<p>The above does not reflect the intention of OVO, and in fact stands opposite to it.  The above is provided to feed the presuppositions of those who will not actually read this issue of OVO.  Any review of this issue that quotes the words above is likely to have been written by someone who never read beyond them to learn what OVO actually states.  This issue of OVO has a purpose, but the likelihood that it will be misrepresented is great enough that a clear statement of what the purpose is not is in order.</p>
<p>OVO does not advocate the criminalization of Christianity.  Existing criminal law suffices to address what is harmful, and law is among the least appropriate means of addressing what is merely mistaken.  Christians deserve equal sanction by the law, and voluntary and informed activities among consenting adults (including religion) should not be outlawed.<br />
OVO does not advocate the murder of Christians except in self-defense.  Because of the potential for legal error, capital punishment is immoral in all cases.  War and murder are immoral in all cases except in self-defense.  Except in self-defense, it is always immoral to kill (including killing Christians).</p>
<p>OVO does not advocate the replacement of the Christian God with another God, a Goddess, a pantheon of deities, nature worship, or similar substitution.  OVO does not advocate worship, be it of the Christian God or any other.  To any reader who uses OVO to build up their own superstition: your faith is equally contemptible.</p>
<p>OVO does not criticize Christianity because it does not understand it.  Many years research went into this issue, and along the way misunderstandings about Christianity (whether in its favor or against it) were abandoned.  OVO criticizes Christianity not because it does not understand it, but because it is worthy of criticism.</p>
<p>OVO does not criticize Christianity because the editor had a traumatic experience with Christianity.  The editor had a generally positive experience with Christianity while growing up and has Christian friends today.  It is a silent admission of defeat that Christians use this psychological, secular explanation for why someone might criticize their superstition.  The editor came to reject Christianity the old fashioned way: by reading the Bible.</p>
<p>OVO is not critical of Christianity because the editor is possessed by Satan, demons or evil spirits.  Such ghosts have never existed.</p>
<p>OVO does not criticize Christianity because it is a socialist publication.  OVO is not a socialist publication.</p>
<p>OVO does not criticize Christianity because Christianity is false.  Christianity is false, but that is not in itself sufficient reason to advocate that it wither away.  There are many non-fiction books, films, plays, poems and recordings that are also false but serve to inspire humanity.  But these false stories do not claim to be true, are not taught to impressionable children as true, and are not used to support legislation that meddles in the affairs of non-Christians.  No one is arguing that the epics of Homer be taught as history; no one is legislating that Aesop&#8217;s fables be posted in courtrooms.  These stories, though false, serve to inspire those who seek them out and are rightly preserved.  It is the secular power of Christianity that is the problem, not merely its falsehood.  Christianity does not attempt to identify and lessen its falsehoods: it revels in them as &#8216;tests of faith.&#8217;  Christianity is holding back science and art, culture and philosophy, tools that actually can and actually have improved humanity&#8217;s lot in an indifferent Universe.</p>
<p>OVO does not criticize Christianity because it is a good religion perverted to bad ends.  It is much more the case that a few good people (Dr. Martin Luther King Jr, perhaps) have perverted the bad religion of Christianity to good ends.  All the good done in the name of Christianity could and does occur through entirely secular means.  What remains distinctly Christian if such duplication of labor is removed?  Threats of eternal damnation, denial of the pleasures and wonders of this short life, confusion and deception.  When Christianity has supported individual rights it has done so only after a &#8216;revelation&#8217; that (a) goes against its own history and (b) miraculously is in harmony with contemporary public opinion.  For example, many Christians opposed slavery in the United States; but many more supported slavery and did so for much longer.  Even today the Bible contains many passages supporting slavery and not one passage condemning it.  Christianity is a <a href="http://ovo127.com/2010/08/20/trevor-blake-christianity-the-slave-religion/">slave religion</a>, a <a href="http://ovo127.com/2010/08/20/trevor-blake-women-in-the-bible/">misogynist religion</a>, a <a href="http://ovo127.com/2010/08/20/trevor-blake-god-hates-fags/">queer-killing religion</a>, a <a href="http://ovo127.com/2010/08/20/trevor-blake-biblical-innumeracy/">nonsense religion</a>, but good people keep twisting their bad faith to good ends.  Wouldn&#8217;t it be better to just do good deeds without wasted efforts to placate an invisible monster that lives in the sky?</p>
<p>OVO does not criticize Christianity to criticize individual Christians.  It is often the case that an attack on a person&#8217;s unconsidered beliefs is perceived as an attack on their person.  If a person&#8217;s beliefs are profoundly unconsidered, to merely state that one holds differing beliefs is perceived as an attack.  For example, Christians who see other superstitions get equal time in the eyes of the law sometimes complain that their freedom of religion is under attack.  Those who hold considered beliefs are secure when challenged and (hopefully) willing to admit error.  Those who hold unconsidered beliefs, who repeat what they have been told without deliberation, are more likely to confuse who they are with what they believe.  Christianity, like all religions, encourages strong belief but also encourages a lack of consideration.  Posturing, bullying and stubbornness are substitutes for consideration of belief among most Christians.</p>
<p>OVO does not criticize Christianity because its claims contradict the evidence of our senses, science, history, archeology, astronomy, mathematics, common sense and the like.  It is true that Christianity is incompatible with all of these, but science progresses by way of challenges to all our claims.  If Christianity challenges the evidence of our senses, all the better: let the challenges be considered and considered again.  If the Bible contradicts science, science can be tested to see if the Bible has a better explanation for reality.  Where the Bible holds true, the Bible holds true.  Where the Bible is found to be false, it should either be re-written or re-classified as folk tales.  Resolving contradictions between the Bible and the evidence of our senses can be of value to us all, and so the contradictions between the Bible and the evidence of our senses are not in themselves why the Bible should be criticized.  Internal contradictions in the Bible, and holding on to falsehood when falsehood has been identified, are worthy of the greatest of criticisms.</p>
<p>OVO does not criticize Christianity as an argument for atheism.  The editor is preparing an argument for atheism that is distinct from this argument against Christianity.</p>
<p>OVO does not criticize Christianity because Jesus Christ was a good person whose followers have gone astray, or because we do not have the secret teachings of Jesus, or because Jesus was a complex person with both good and bad qualities.  Jesus never existed.</p>
<p>In 1991, the editor published <em>A Call to Heresy</em> on a BBS in Knoxville, Tennessee USA.  The document found its way onto BBS’ around the world as well as other formats, including an Internet domain in Hong Kong and a CD-ROM of public domain texts published by Palm Computers.  Various editions of the text can be found on the Internet today.  Some of the research done for that text has found a new home here in OVO 16 AntiChrist.</p>
<p>OVO criticizes the Bible.  Some Christians say that it is an error to overly attend to what the Bible says, and one should rely on the Bible as inspiration rather than fact.  But the Bible itself makes <a href="http://ovo127.com/2010/08/20/trevor-blake-infallible-and-eternal/">claims of perfection</a>, and so taking it at its word in claims of perfection are as justified as any other perspective; perhaps more justified than some &#8216;inspired&#8217; interpretations.  If any interpretation of the Bible is as good as any other, then Christians in no way can distance themselves from the worst among them.  Having failed to amend the contradictions, atrocities and absurdities in the Bible with over two thousand years to do so, it is reasonable to conclude that the Bible is considered factual among Christians.  Some Christians (called Dominionists or Fundamentalists or Conservatives or the Christian Right) are explicit in their claim that the Bible is factual, while the rest hold it to be factual but requiring &#8216;interpretation&#8217; (often by way of asking the reader to simply ignore parts of the Bible).</p>
<p>But this issue of OVO does not limit itself to criticisms of the Bible.  The <a href="http://ovo127.com/2009/08/02/trevor-blake-an-open-letter-to-amnesty-international/">Roman Catholic Church</a> claims a history pre-dating the Bible.  <a href="http://ovo127.com/2010/08/20/martin-luther-excerpts-from-the-jews-and-their-lies/">Martin Luther</a>, founder of Protestant Christianity, wrote inspired texts.  <a href="http://ovo127.com/2010/08/20/trevor-blake-the-church-of-jesus-christ-latter-day-saints-in-black-and-white/">The Church of Jesus Christ Latter-Day Saints</a> and the <a href="http://ovo127.com/2010/08/20/trevor-blake-the-watchtower-society-and-the-end-of-your-world/">Watchtower Society</a> claim to have Christian revelations in modern times.  All of these Christians are well deserving of criticism and contempt.</p>
<p>There are a set number of responses offered by Christians when confronted with their own beliefs.  The first and most common is to be told that these Bible verses have been taken out of context.  It is claimed that the verses surrounding these quotes give them a meaning other than their apparent meaning.  If this is the case it will be easy to demonstrate; full citations for each quote are given throughout.  The reader is encouraged to read the Bible.  There is no more sure path to rejecting Christianity than understanding it.  Some claim that the contexts of the times change how we should understand the Bible.  But does the Bible say it is relevant only until the time of Job (the last time God speaks directly to humanity), or does it claim to be relevant to all times?  Some claim that one translation of the Bible offers a more accurate account than another, but existing fragmentary early Christian texts contain their own contradictions, atrocities and absurdities.</p>
<p>The second common reply made by Christians when confronted with their own beliefs is that the Bible, God, Jesus and the rest are not to be understood by reason in the way math or science is.  Christianity is to be understood by faith, by the heart, by the spirit, by the soul. Therefore any apparent contradictions, atrocities or absurdities should be ignored because those are all &#8216;reason&#8217; and not &#8216;faith.&#8217;  But there is no &#8216;alternative to reason&#8217; as faith is said to be.  One can hope, one can wish, one can pretend and ignore, one can scream or run away or kill one&#8217;s critics, but none of these are alternatives to reason.  Even if there were an alternative to reason, how is the &#8216;feeling&#8217; that Christianity is true (and all other religions false) different from the &#8216;feeling&#8217; that Islam is true (and all other religions are false)?  Why is it that Christian &#8216;feelings&#8217; are so regional – does God not inspire such &#8216;feelings&#8217; everywhere equally?  Why don&#8217;t children have that &#8216;feeling&#8217; until an adult tells them to say they do, and why do adults spend so much effort making sure that &#8216;feeling&#8217; is planted in children?</p>
<p>All religions claim to be the only true religion.  Even the ecumenical religions claim to be the only true religion, by claiming that the non-ecumenical religions are false.  But since all religions contradict each other at most only one can be the only true religion.  Since all religions by definition put themselves outside what can be demonstrated as true, it would be unjust to establish any religion as secular law because the likelihood of error would be too great.  Suppose Mithrism became the law of the United States when actually it was Ah Pook that was the real living God?  Those countries that have a legal assumption of atheism serve freedom the most.  At times this has been the case in the United States, where OVO originates.  Christianity threatens the legal presupposition of atheism in the USA, necessitating this issue of OVO.  Christianity is the superstition behind the US support of Israel, the war in Iraq, lack of access to Plan B and a vaccine for two strains of cancer-causing HPV, the removal of science from public education, the ongoing imprisonment of the West Memphis Three (among others), blue laws, laws forbidding atheists from holding elected office and more.  Reform from within should occur in Christianity.  Civil discourse should occur between Christians and non-Christians.  But should Christianity elect to ignore the opportunities of positive reinforcement, let it learn the sting of negative reinforcement.  OVO is not reforming Christianity from within, nor is it a civil discourse.  It is an attack – using only Christianity&#8217;s own beliefs as weapons.  When Mithrism or the faithful of Ah Pook establish their superstition as law in the USA, they will be equally worthy of criticism.  Readers in countries where Islam or Judaism are the majority superstition are encouraged to make similar efforts.</p>
<p>This issue of OVO advocates the withering away of Christianity through reason and scorn.  Reason alone withers Christianity to a hostile party guest that has long overstayed his welcome; scorn provide us with laughter and satisfaction as we show him to the door.  Perhaps reason alone, or reason and compassion, might be a more noble endeavor.  But any belief that cannot withstand a little mockery is perhaps not worth holding in the first place.</p>
<p><strong>Subject religious organizations to the same requirements as secular non-profit organizations: demonstrate they perform a quantifiable public good to receive <a href="http://ovo127.com/2010/08/20/trevor-blake-case-against-tax-exemption-for-religious-organizations-in-oregon/">tax-exempt status</a>.  Do not donate any funds, labor or resources to Christian organizations: there are secular equivalents to any Christian organization for those who seek to aid others.  Do not vote for politicians who make their Christianity a part of their platform.  Oppose &#8216;faith based&#8217; funding and <a href="http://ovo127.com/2009/08/02/trevor-blake-an-open-letter-to-amnesty-international/">theocratic laws</a>.  Learn more about Christianity than the Christians themselves.  Confront Christians with their own claims and history.</strong></p>
<p>OVO is fortunate to originate in the United States, where Christianity and other superstitions may be legally practiced and criticized.  The United Kingdom, Holland, Sweden, Italy, Turkey, Norway, Canada and other countries forbid criticism of religion as a form of &#8216;hate crime,&#8217; while China, North Korea and other countries forbid religion as a form of &#8216;thought crime.&#8217;  In the United States religion may be both practiced and criticized – for now.  If Christianity continues to become the state religion of the United States, this may not be the case much longer.</p>
<p>OVO is a tool kit to disabuse the reader of Christianity.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Protestant Christianity was founded by Martin Luther.  What did Luther have to say about Jews?  Maybe Luther wasn&#8217;t such a great moral leader after all.  Maybe these proposals bore fruit in Luther&#8217;s country four hundred years later.  The following are quotes from Luther&#8217;s book <em>The Jews and Their Lies</em> (1543).</p>
<blockquote><p>I had made up my mind to write no more either about the Jews or against them. But since I learned that these miserable and accursed people do not cease to lure to themselves even us, that is, the Christians, I have published this little book, so that I might be found among those who opposed such poisonous activities of the Jews who warned the Christians to be on their guard against them. I would not have believed that a Christian could be duped by the Jews into taking their exile and wretchedness upon himself. However, the devil is the god of the world, and wherever God&#8217;s word is absent he has an easy task, not only with the weak but also with the strong. May God help us. Amen</p>
<p>My essay, I hope, will furnish a Christian (who in any case has no desire to become a Jew) with enough material not only to defend himself against the blind, venomous Jews, but also to become the foe of the Jews&#8217; malice, lying, and cursing, and to understand not only that their belief is false but that they are surely possessed by all devils. May Christ, our dear Lord, convert them mercifully and preserve us steadfastly and immovably in the knowledge of him, which is eternal life. Amen.</p>
<p>What shall we Christians do with this rejected and condemned people, the Jews? Since they live among us, we dare not tolerate their conduct, now that we are aware of their lying and reviling and blaspheming. If we do, we become sharers in their lies, cursing and blasphemy. Thus we cannot extinguish the unquenchable fire of divine wrath, of which the prophets speak, nor can we convert the Jews. With prayer and the fear of God we must practice a sharp mercy to see whether we might save at least a few from the glowing flames. We dare not avenge ourselves. Vengeance a thousand times worse than we could wish them already has them by the throat. I shall give you my sincere advice:</p>
<p>First to set fire to their synagogues or schools and to bury and cover with dirt whatever will not burn, so that no man will ever again see a stone or cinder of them. This is to be done in honor of our Lord and of Christendom, so that God might see that we are Christians, and do not condone or knowingly tolerate such public lying, cursing, and blaspheming of his Son and of his Christians. For whatever we tolerated in the past unknowingly &#8211; and I myself was unaware of it &#8211; will be pardoned by God. But if we, now that we are informed, were to protect and shield such a house for the Jews, existing right before our very nose, in which they lie about, blaspheme, curse, vilify, and defame Christ and us (as was heard above), it would be the same as if we were doing all this and even worse ourselves, as we very well know.</p>
<p>Second, I advise that their houses also be razed and destroyed. For they pursue in them the same aims as in their synagogues. Instead they might be lodged under a roof or in a barn, like the gypsies. This will bring home to them that they are not masters in our country, as they boast, but that they are living in exile and in captivity, as they incessantly wail and lament about us before God.<br />
Third, I advise that all their prayer books and Talmudic writings, in which such idolatry, lies, cursing and blasphemy are taught, be taken from them.</p>
<p>Fourth, I advise that their rabbis be forbidden to teach henceforth on pain of loss of life and limb. For they have justly forfeited the right to such an office by holding the poor Jews captive with the saying of Moses (<a href="http://ovo127.com/2010/08/20/trevor-blake-biblical-anti-semitism/">Deuteronomy 17 [:10]</a>) in which he commands them to obey their teachers on penalty of death, although Moses clearly adds: &#8220;what they teach you in accord with the law of the Lord.&#8221; Those villains ignore that. They wantonly employ the poor people&#8217;s obedience contrary to the law of the Lord and infuse them with this poison, cursing, and blasphemy. In the same way the pope also held us captive with the declaration in <a href="http://ovo127.com/2010/08/20/trevor-blake-biblical-anti-semitism/">Matthew 16 [:18]</a>, &#8220;You are Peter,&#8221; etc, inducing us to believe all the lies and deceptions that issued from his devilish mind. He did not teach in accord with the word of God, and therefore he forfeited the right to teach.</p>
<p>Fifth, I advise that safe conduct on the highways be abolished completely for the Jews. For they have no business in the countryside, since they are not lords, officials, tradesmen, or the like. Let they stay at home.</p>
<p>Sixth, I advise that usury be prohibited to them, and that all cash and treasure of silver and gold be taken from them and put aside for safekeeping. The reason for such a measure is that, as said above, they have no other means of earning a livelihood than usury, and by it they have stolen and robbed from us all they possess. Such money should now be used in no other way than the following: Whenever a Jew is sincerely converted, he should be handed one hundred, two hundred, or three hundred florins, as personal circumstances may suggest. With this he could set himself up in some occupation for the support of his poor wife and children, and the maintenance of the old or feeble. For such evil gains are cursed if they are not put to use with God&#8217;s blessing in a good and worthy cause.</p>
<p>Seventh, I commend putting a flail, an axe, a hoe, a spade, a distaff, or a spindle into the hands of young, strong Jews and Jewesses and letting them earn their bread in the sweat of their brow, as was imposed on the children of Adam (<a href="http://ovo127.com/2010/08/20/trevor-blake-biblical-anti-semitism/">Gen 3[:19]</a>). For it is not fitting that they should let us accursed Goyim toil in the sweat of our faces while they, the holy people, idle away their time behind the stove, feasting and farting, and on top of all, boasting blasphemously of their lordship over the Christians by means of our sweat. No, one should toss out these lazy rogues by the seat of their pants.</p></blockquote>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>A question for the ladies in the audience&#8230; suppose you were asked if you would like to live in a country in which you could be bought, sold, traded and owned, where you would be required to be submissive to the wishes of any man, where the word “woman” was itself an insult, and where guilt in a rape case was based on whether or not the woman who was raped yelled loud enough.  Would you like to live in a country like that?  If not, then you should be equally horrified with the thought of being a Christian.  The imaginary country described in this introduction is the world that the Bible wants women to live in everywhere.  And don&#8217;t think that Jesus wasn&#8217;t aware of and in support of these rules – see what He had to say Himself.</p>
<p><strong>Do Christians view women as <a href="http://ovo127.com/2010/08/20/trevor-blake-christianity-the-slave-religion/">slaves</a> to be bought, sold, traded and owned?</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>And seest among the captives a beautiful woman, and hast a desire unto her, that thou wouldst have her to thy wife; Then thou shalt bring her home to thine house, and she shall shave her head, and pare her nails; And she shall put the raiment of her captivity from off her, and shall remain in thine house, and bewail her father and her mother a full month: and after that thou shalt go in unto her, and be her husband, and she shall be thy wife. &#8211; Deuteronomy 21:11-13</li>
<li>If a man find a damsel that is a virgin, which is not betrothed, and lay hold on her, and lie with her,  and they be found; Then the man that lay with her shall give unto the damsel&#8217;s father fifty shekels of silver, and she shall be his wife; because he hath humbled her, he may not put her away all his days. &#8211; Deuteronomy 22:28-29</li>
<li>So I bought her to me for fifteen pieces of silver, and for an homer of barley, and an half homer of barley. &#8211; Hosea 3:2</li>
<li>See also: Genesis 19:8, 29:24, 29 / Exodus 20:17, 21:7, 8 / Deuteronomy 5:21, 25:5 / Judges 1:12-13, 5:30, 14:1-3, 15:2, 19:22-30, 21:7, 10-12, 14, 20-21, 23 / Ruth 4:10 / 1 Samuel 25:44 /  2 Samuel 12:11, 13:1-22, 20:3 / Esther 1:7-22, 2:2-4 / Jeremiah 6:12, 8:10</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>Do Christians believe women must be submissive to men?</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Let your women keep silence in the churches: for it is not permitted unto them to speak; but they are commanded to be under obedience as also saith the law.  And if they will learn any thing, let them ask their husbands at home: for it is a shame for women to speak in the church. -  1 Corinthians 14:34-35</li>
<li>Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as unto the Lord.  For the husband is the head of the wife, even as Christ is the head of the church: and he is the Saviour of the body.  Therefore as the church is subject unto Christ, so let the wives be to their own husbands in every thing.  &#8211; Ephesians 5:22-24</li>
<li>In like manner also, that women adorn themselves in modest apparel, with shamefacedness and sobriety; not with braided hair, or gold, or pearls, or costly array; But (which becometh women professing godliness) with good works.  Let the woman learn in silence with all subjection.  But I suffer not a woman to teach, nor to usurp authority over the man, but to be in silence.  For Adam was first formed, then Eve.  And Adam was not deceived, but the woman being deceived was in the transgression.  Notwithstanding she shall be saved in childbearing, if they continue in faith and charity and holiness with sobriety.  &#8211; 1 Timothy 2:9-15</li>
<li>But I would have you know, that the head of every man is Christ; and the head of the woman is the man; and the head of Christ is God. &#8211; 1 Corinthians 11:3</li>
<li>But every woman that prayeth or prophesieth with her head uncovered dishonoreth her head: for that is even all one as if she were shaven.  For if the woman be not covered, let her also be shorn: but if it be a shame for a woman to be shorn or shaven, let her be covered.  For a man indeed ought not to cover his head, for asmuch as he is the image and glory of God: but the woman is the glory of the man.  For the man is not of the woman: but the woman of the man.  Neither was the man created for the woman; but the woman for the man.  For this cause ought the woman to have power on her head because of the angels. -  1 Corinthians 11:5-10</li>
<li>Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as it is fit in the Lord. &#8211; Colossians 3:18</li>
<li>Likewise, ye wives, be in subjection to your own husbands; that, if any obey not the word, they also may without the word be won by the conversation of the wives; While they behold your chaste conversation coupled with fear.  Whose adorning let it not be that outward adorning of plaiting the hair, and of wearing of gold, or of putting on of apparel; But let it be the hidden man of the heart, in that which is not corruptible, even the ornament of a meek and quiet spirit, which is in the sight of God of great price.  For after this manner in the old time the holy women also, who trusted in God, adorned themselves, being in subjection unto their own husbands: Even as Sara obeyed Abraham, calling him lord: whose daughters ye are, as long as ye do well, and are not afraid with any amazement.  Likewise, ye husbands, dwell with them according to knowledge, giving honor unto the wife, as unto the weaker vessel, and as being heirs together of the grace of life; that your prayers be not hindered.  &#8211; 1 Peter 3:1-7</li>
<li>See also: Numbers 30:3-16 / Deuteronomy 22:5</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>Do Christians consider it an insult to be called a woman?</strong></p>
<ul>
<li> See: Isaiah 19:16 / Jeremiah 50:37 / Nahum 3:13</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>Do Christians say if a woman doesn&#8217;t yell enough when being raped she should be killed?</strong></p>
<ul>
<li> If a damsel that is a virgin be betrothed unto an husband, and a man find her in the city, and lie with her; Then ye shall bring them both out unto the gate of that city, and ye shall stone them with stones that they die; the damsel, because she cried not, being in the city;  and the man, because he hath humbled his neighbor&#8217;s wife: so thou shalt put away evil from among you.  &#8211; Deuteronomy 22:23-24</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>Does Jesus Support the Laws of the Old Testament?</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or tittle shall nowise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled. Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments, and shall teach men so, he shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven.  &#8211; Mark 5:18-19</li>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Leviticus 27:6 and Numbers 3:15-16 make it clear that God has no problem with the death of a fetus if the fetus is less than one month old.  Hosea 13:16 even has God ordering pregnant women to be  “ripped up.”  The Bible has some wiggle room when it comes to abortion, yet somehow the religion of the Bible, Christianity, holds that abortion is forbidden.  Maybe the problem is Exodus 21:22-23, when God contradicts Himself and says if an unborn fetus is accidentally killed then the offending party should be punished.  Jonathan and David have a homosexual relationship in 1 and 2 Samuel, and David is favored by God.  The Bible weighs in favorably when it comes to homosexuality, yet somehow the religion of the Bible, Christianity, holds that homosexuality is forbidden.  Maybe the problem is Leviticus 20:13, when God contradicts Himself and says homosexuals are to be murdered.  Fortunately, there are no contradictions in the Bible when it comes to slavery.  The Bible is always and only in favor of slavery – no where in the Bible is slavery spoken against, outlawed, forbidden, condemned, or otherwise presented in a negative light.  Christians should  concede that God contradicts Himself regarding abortion and homosexuality.  They should fight for their clearly stated, God-given right to own slaves.</p>

<li>Servants, obey in all things your masters according to the flesh; not with eye-service, as men-pleasers; but in singleness of heart, fearing God. &#8211; Colossians 3:22</li>
<li>Submit yourselves to every ordinance of man for the Lord&#8217;s sake: whether it be to the king, as supreme: or unto governors&#8230; &#8211; 1 Peter 2:13</li>
<li>&#8230; Then said the Lord to me, Go ye, love a woman, beloved of her friend, yet an adulteress&#8230; so I bought her&#8230; &#8211; Hosea 3:1-2</li>
<li>The Scribes and Pharises sit in Moses seat; all, therefore, whatsoever they bid you observe, that observe and do. &#8211; Matthew 23:2-3</li>
<li>I council thee to keep the king&#8217;s commandment&#8230; whoso keepeth the commandment shall feel no evil thing. &#8211; Ecclesiastes 8:5</li>
<li>Cursed be Canaan; a servant of servants shall be unto his bretheren. &#8211; Genesis 9:25</li>

<li>He that is born in thy house, and he that is bought with thy money, must needs be circumcised. [...] And Abraham took Ishmael his son, and all that were born in his house, and all that were bought with his money &#8230; and circumcised the flesh of their foreskin.

<li>If the priest buy any soul with his money&#8230; &#8211;  Leviticus 22:11</li>
<li>And if thy brother that dwelleth by thee be waxen poor, and be sold unto thee&#8230; &#8211;  Leviticus 25:39</li>
<li>And if a man smite his servant, or his maid, with a rod, and he die under his hand; he shall be surely punished. Notwithstanding, if he continue a day or two, he shall not be punished: for he is his money. &#8211; Exodus 21:20-21</li>
<li>But every man&#8217;s servant that is bought for money&#8230;  &#8211; Exodus 12:44</li>
<li>If thou buy an Hebrew servant, six years he shall serve: and in the seventh he shall go out free for nothing. If he came in by himself, he shall go out by himself: if he were married, then his wife shall go out with him. If his master has given him a wife, and she has born him sons or daughters; the wife and her children shall be her master&#8217;s, and he shall go out by himself. And if the servant shall plainly say, I love my master, my wife, and my children; I will not go free: Then his master shall bring him unto the judges; he shall also bring him to the door, or unto the door post; and his master shall bore his ear through with an awl; and he shall serve him for ever. &#8211; Exodus 21:2-6</li>
<li>And if a man smite the eye of his servant, or the eye of his maid, that it perish; he shall let him go free for his eye&#8217;s sake. And if he smite out his manservant&#8217;s tooth, or his maidservant&#8217;s tooth; he shall let him go free for his tooth&#8217;s sake. &#8211; Exodus 21:26-27</li>
<li>If a thief [...] have nothing, then he shall be sold for his theft.  &#8211; Exodus 22:2-3</li>
<li>And if a man sell his daughter to be a maidservant, she shall not go out as the menservants do. &#8211; Exodus 21:7</li>
<li>Render unto Caesar the things which are Caesar&#8217;s&#8230; &#8211; Matthew 22:21</li>
<li>For everyone that curseth his father or his mother shall be surely put to death. &#8211; Leviticus 20:9</li>
<li>Both thy bondsmen, and thy bondsmaids, which thou shall have, shall be of the heathen that are round about you; of them shall ye buy bondsmen and bondsmaids. Moreover of the children of the strangers that do sojourn among you, of them shall ye buy, and of their families that are with you, which they begat in your land: and they shall be your possession. And ye shall take them as an inheritance for your children after you, to inherit them for a possession&#8230; &#8211; Leviticus 25:44-45</li>
<li>Then Miriam and Aaron spoke against Moses because of the Ethiopian woman whom he had married, for he had married an Ethiopian woman. &#8211; Number 12:1</li>
<li>When thou goest forth to war against thine enemies, and the LORD thy God hath delivered them into thine hands, and thou hast taken them captive, and seest among the captives a beautiful woman, and hast a desire unto her, that thou wouldest have her to thy wife; Then thou shalt bring her home to thine house, and she shall shave her head, and pare her nails; And she shall put the raiment of her captivity from off her, and shall remain in thine house, and bewail her father and her mother a full month: and after that thou shalt go in unto her, and be her husband, and she shall be thy wife. &#8211; Deuteronomy 21:10-13</li>
