Anne Boleyn
They called Anne Boleyn the Great Whore. It is a Bible thing. Great Whore is a title from the Book of Revelation, and it is "end of the world" stuff.
An apocalyptic title is overdoing it a bit. They exaggerated the threat Anne posed. Or has history grossly underestimated Anne Boleyn?
Was Anne an existential threat to the Catholic religion and what is known as Abrahamic faith?

I must thank historians Lucy Worsley, Suzannah Lipscombe and Tracy Borman
for introducing Anne Boleyn to me. I must thank William Shakespeare for humanism. I must thank Elizabeth I for Shakespeare.

I made a study of Anne Boleyn using the Renaissance as a frame of reference. Anne was born around the same time Michelangelo started painting the Sistine Chapel. Michelangelo put Renaissance Humanism on the map with his daring portrayal of God in human form. He was the Richard Dawkins of his day. The biologist in 2006 found God in the form of a spaceman and the God on the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel is a representation of the spaceman.
Armed with Dawkins’ discovery Dan Barker in 2016 read the gospels one more time. This time the ex-missionary found a gospel within the gospels. He said Christ claimed to be the spaceman. As far as Barker was concerned the idea of Yahweh-Christ made Christ as improbable as Yahweh.
This podcast plays with gospels, history and science to vastly increase the probability of Yahweh-Christ.
I made a study of Anne Boleyn and now I find myself believing God is human. I made a study of Anne Boleyn using the Renaissance for my frame of reference. Anne was born into the Catholic faith. Just as Michelangelo started painting the Sistine Chapel, he painted God in the form of a human. Michelot started painting the Sistine Chapel he painted God in the form of a human. It is not stretching the imagination to think the regent Margaret of Austria and her protégé Anne Boleyn visited the ceiling to marvel at the artist's daring portrayal of God. The creation of Adam, with its human representation of God, is a statement of humanism. Humanism and literalism invaded the Sistine Chapel the Sistine Chapel.
Speaker 1:Back in 2010,. Militant atheists Richard Dawkins and Stephen Hawking spoke with one voice. They vouched for the humanist interpretation of the Old Testament. The biologist found a biological concept of God and the cosmologists agreed the spaceman is the Bible's bona fide concept of God. In 2016, it was Richard Dawkins and Dan Barker, the ex-evangelist, who led the way to an understanding of what it means to say God is human. Barker was convinced Jesus of Nazareth had said he was the Sky God, but no one was taking the spaceman seriously. Barker was trying to say Jesus Christ was as improbable as the spaceman, but still it is. Thanks to Dawkins and Barker we have clarity on what is meant by God the human. Yahweh to Christ takes us from God the spaceman to God the earthman.
Speaker 1:For Romans, the idea of Yahweh Christ was excessive superstition. They refused to speak of it for fear of assisting in the spreading of the superstition. For Lucian of Samosata, the idea of Yahweh Christ was without traction. He said there was no evidence, there was no logic which could justify such an outlandish belief. My study of Anne Boleyn concluded that by the 16th century it was possible to believe in Yahweh Christ. We in the 21st century need to investigate for ourselves if Yahweh and Christ are the same person. We must start with something called the Immaculate Conception.
Speaker 1:The problem with conception is that it makes Yahweh a new creature in the sense that he is made part man. Yahweh is not human and Christ is not human. Yahweh Christ does not have human in his genetic makeup. To go from Yahweh to Yahweh Christ, we need a modern idea of human fertility. Third-party surrogacy is the idea we are looking for, because it takes us from Yahweh to Yahweh. Mary, the birth mother, was not the biological mother. Her genes did not contribute to Yahweh Christ. Not conception, but embryo transfer. Mary was and was not the mother and Christ was and was not human human.
Speaker 1:Anne Boleyn could not explain how the God on the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel came down to earth, but neither could Pharisees. They were taken aback by the religious anomaly. They said Is not this Jesus, the son of Joseph, whose father and mother we know? How is it then that he says I came down from heaven? The Pharisees never figured out how he came down from heaven. They died in their ignorance. The courtyard of the gentiles was given a rude awakening by yahweh on wednesday morning of passover. And I am not come of myself, but he that sent me is true, whom ye know not, but I know him, for I am from him and he has sent me Spirit.
Speaker 1:Worshippers had come together at Passover to celebrate and self-congratulate. The God of war had been successfully rubbed out of Jewish consciousness. The temple builders had no desire to let the violent and unpredictable God of War back into their minds. Correspondingly, the God of War was not there asking to be taken back as the God of the nation. He was not there desperately seeking rehabilitation. The God of Abraham was there to let the children of Abraham know.
Speaker 1:The feeling of contempt was mutual. He too was done with them. The sky God was heard by Gentiles when he said Ye are from beneath, I am from above. Ye are of this world, I am not of this world. The Sky God registered his complaint before an international crowd, dear Listener, before an international crowd. Dear listener, yahweh Christ will not begin to make any sense to you till you realize the scale of hate, rejection and betrayal the God of war was subjected to. He was rubbed out of consciousness by being rubbed out of history. His was an existential crisis. They had taken away his raison d'etre. They had taken away his raison d'etre. His visit to the enemy heartland was forced on him. Hate of God was blamed on something called Abrahamic faith. Abraham was blamed for the spirit switchover which ousted the God of war.
Speaker 1:Yahweh Christ remembered the real Abraham every time Pharisees lied about him. Pharisees had led the nation astray. It was not like. The cult of Yahweh was a roaring success. The cult of Yahweh had failed the state of Judea and was keeping society in the Bronze Age. Philosophy was introduced for the sake of progress. Progress was not to be denied. Progress was introduced in the guise of the Creator God who is all spirit. The Creator God who is all spirit.
Speaker 1:Apparently, when Abraham looked into the night sky over three thousand years ago, he saw the moon. He wondered what it would be like if God had not created the moon. He concluded there would be empty space where there is presently the moon. Abraham similarly imagined the galaxy without star systems and again he concluded it would be left as empty space. Abraham had no idea that empty space is a flawed concept. Big Bang did not take place in an empty dimension called space. Big Bang is the cause of the dimension we call space. Dark matter is Big Bang. Abraham instinctively perceived empty space. He thought empty space was full of spirit. Abraham thought spirit had emanated the universe into existence. The universe was evidence of the spirit. It was not till 1927 that the theory of creation by emanation by a spirit was ruled out.
Speaker 1:Abraham's second idea, that Big Bang superimposed a universe onto pre-existing spirit, is equally flawed. The universe is expanding, but the spirit is not. Spirit and universe are not connected. The fact is, the God of Abraham himself did not blame Abraham for his woes. He blamed the children of Abraham. Yahweh was personally acquainted with Abraham. He boasted your father, abraham rejoiced to see my day and he saw it and was glad. Yahweh testified that Abraham was not opinionated like his children. Abraham at least gave Yahweh the courtesy of hearing him out, but Pharisees refused him an audience and the children of Abraham wanted to kill him. It is easy to conclude Big Bang is not of Abraham. Similarly, the spirit model of the universe is not of Abraham. In other words, abrahamic faith is not of Abraham.
Speaker 1:People who claim faith comes from Abraham are liars. Michael Angelo and Richard Dawkins found the original God of the Old Testament. Dan Barker found Dawkins' spaceman in the form of Jesus Christ. He said Christ was anti-theist. Jesus of Nazareth claimed to be the space man, and that is anti-theist. I am anti-theist. I reject theism. I do not believe the man from Nazareth is bigger than multiple galaxies. I do not believe Jesus of Nazareth is a shapeshifter. I do not believe God is to be found 1,000 feet under the surface of Mars and inside a loaf of bread.
Speaker 1:At the same time, the great truth and the great lie of the Bible was investigated by an opinionated Pharisee. The Pharisee was a theist and a spirit fundamentalist and he accused humanists of lying. He said about them, who changed the truth of God into a lie and worshipped and served the creature more than their creator. Saul of Tarsus was much worse than a Pharisee. He was a murderer. He enjoyed killing. For him, killing was a righteous act to go with his righteous indignation. But he was too late to murder Jesus of Nazareth. He satisfied his bloodlust by killing the friends of God.
Speaker 1:The man from Tarsus damaged the reputation of Pharisees. Tarsus damaged the reputation of Pharisees. Almost every other Pharisee thought further bloodshed was uncalled for. The blood-stained Pharisee was avoided for the social contaminant he was. He had crossed the line. He was toxic.
Speaker 1:Saul of Tarsus was a social pariah. It was his idea of hell. What Saul wanted most of all was rehabilitation. He wanted to be back in with his people. He made mistakes. He was sorry and he looked to Jesus of Nazareth for forgiveness. Christ had already given his answer.
Speaker 1:Woe to you, teachers of the law and Pharisees. You hypocrites. You shut the door of the kingdom of heaven in people's faces. You yourselves do not enter, nor will you let those enter who are trying to. Teachers of the law and Pharisees or theologians are not welcome in the company of the God of war. Saul the murderer changed his name to Apostle Paul. Like that made a difference changed his name to Apostle Paul. Like that made a difference. He modified his faith. Like that made a difference.
Speaker 1:According to Christ, a person can lose their soul. If a person does not have a soul, nothing makes a difference. You need a soul to be saved, because it is the soul which gets saved. It was all very bleak for the man of faith. He believed the just shall live by faith. Faith justifies. Jesus of Nazareth was a man of conscience. A man who loses his soul does not have a conscience. A man's soul is his conscience. The Pharisee was a hypocrite, and his hypocrisy cost him his soul. The murderer looked to Christ for compassion, but he was already dead. The only thing Pharisees ever got from the spaceman was instruction to give up the God delusion.
Speaker 1:Saul of Tarsus refused to join the cult of Yahweh Christ. Instead, he decided to start his own religion. The Pharisee was a hypocrite. Like all Pharisees, he fooled himself into thinking he knew more about God than God himself. The Pharisee told his followers to ignore Jesus Christ, he said, though we have known Christ after the flesh, yet now, henceforth, know we him no more. The spirit fundamentalist spent his life making Christ safe for spirit lovers and faith fundamentalists like himself. Saul of Tarsus changed the truth of God into a lie as easily as he changed his name. He told spirit lovers it was unnatural to worship and serve the creature. Lucian of Samosata told us why Christians of AD 169 worshipped a man. He said it was impressed on them by their original lawgiver. Christianity has a second lawgiver, the spirit-loving killer, pharisee, who found rehabilitation when he found other spirit lovers ready and willing to ignore the contrary Jesus Christ. Spirit lovers dared to call Anne Boleyn the Great Whore, but then they are the children of the Antichrist.
