Summary

To millions of Christians around the world, concepts such as Original Sin … the biblical story of Creation … the benefits of prayer … the existence of a personal, loving GOD … and similar teachings … are the very cornerstones of their faith.

Now … in a book certain to ignite controversy … Reg Nixon dares to ask, “What if these things simply aren’t true? What if they can be logically refuted?” Already there are 14 per cent or more than 100 million (100,000,000) believers who have overcome their childhood indoctrination into FAITH and BELIEF.

Presenting his case powerfully and persuasively, Nixon begins A Fairy Tale Created Original Sin by tackling Original Sin head-on. Nixon explains the reason he’s doing so is that Original Sin is the bedrock foundation of Christianity. Only by accepting the concept of Original Sin can we accept the necessity for Jesus … the human sacrifice … to come and save us from our inherent sinfulness.

With passion and a carefully-constructed logic, Nixon lays out his argument … building to a startling conclusion. But he doesn’t stop there. Chapter after chapter, he continues to boldly confront many other “sacred cows” of the Christian faith. Of particular interest:

• Evidence to confirm A Fairy Tale Created Original Sin.

Christians are taught to believe that creation and Original Sin in Genesis actually   occurred. They must believe God created a tree of the knowledge of good and evil, a talking serpent capable of beguiling Eve, and magic fruit that made Adam and Eve aware that they are naked. And, as if by magic, this became Original Sin and we are all guilty. God cannot forgive until he receives a human sacrifice.

One of the most important concepts in Christianity is Original Sin or the belief that all mankind has inherited a sinful nature brought about by the acts of Adam and Eve. Yet, no amount of theological reasoning can make an inherently unjust idea seem right. Punishing billions of people for the acts of one, namely Adam, is not only inherently unfair and unwarranted but also in opposition to many verses in the Bible. This book provides the evidence and the conclusion – A Fairy Tale Created Original Sin.

• Jesus as a human sacrifice.

Jesus was born of a virgin and lived as a Jew for about 30 to 35 years. Organized Religions claim that Jesus died on the cross for our sins so that those who believe in him will not perish but have everlasting life.

Most Protestant Religions believe Jesus was born 4,000 years AFTER the claim of Original Sin in Genesis. However, according to the 21st century “scientific beliefs” of the Catholic Church, Jesus may have been born a million years after creation.

Christians believe GOD has Infinite Intelligence and Infinite Power. Therefore,    because GOD has Infinite Intelligence and Infinite Power, the author asks:
“In what way will the death of Jesus allow GOD to act in ways not previously available to Him? Why is a human sacrifice for sin necessary? As Original Sin was created by a Fairy Tale, was the death of Jesus an opportunity for the Fathers of the Church to distort the reason… and claim that it related to our sins? Because Jesus was crucified by the Romans, did his death relate only to Roman’ laws?”

• THE SACRIFICE OF JESUS IS SURPRISING:

 [1] GOD is a Trilogy – GOD the Father, GOD the SON, and GOD the Holy Spirit. (The Athanasian Creed, of unknown date but certainly in existence soon after 500 CE is  emphatic: "We worship one God in Trinity, and Trinity in Unity . . . there is one Person of the Father, another of the Son, and another of the Holy Ghost. But the Godhead of the Father, of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost, is all one; the Glory equal, the Majesty coeternal. The Father uncreated, the Son uncreated, and the Holy Ghost uncreated . . ." All are declared to be eternal, "yet they are not three eternals, but one eternal". The Creed concludes with the ominous statement: "He that will be saved must think thus of the Trinity.") [2] Although Jesus was born as a human, Christianity accepts Jesus as “GOD the Son” and “GOD in the Flesh.” [3] This Christian belief means that GOD, as Jesus, used HIMSELF (that is, a portion of the Trilogy of HIMSELF) as the “Sacrifice for our sins.” [4] As GOD has Infinite Intelligence and Infinite Power, to believe GOD provided this “unnecessary sacrifice” HIMSELF is absurd.

CONCLUSION

The foundations of Christianity are based upon Fairy Tales (or Myths)

[1] Original Sin in Genesis is obviously based upon a Fairy Tale. Serpents that are able to beguile Eve and magic fruit are ingredients of fairy tales.  

[2] GOD has Infinite Intelligence and Infinite Power. GOD does not need a sacrifice before He has the ability to act. To believe GOD would provide HIMSELF (in the form of Jesus) as the sacrifice is unacceptable other than as an ancient religious ritual or another Fairy Tale.
         
[3] THE TRUTH:  Based upon the above Jesus is an intelligent human being. Jesus is not God the Son or God in the Flesh.  Jesus died on the cross … but because Original Sin is a Fairy Tale … his death did not relate to Original Sin as recorded in the Gospel of John.

[4] Chapter Seven in Reg Nixon’s book confirms that the accuracy of Jesus’ 30 to 35 years of life is largely gone. Christianity began with about 120 Jews. During about the first 20 years, details of Jesus’ Immaculate Conception, his intelligent sayings, parables and death were transmitted orally. Constantine’s demand that all non-orthodox texts be destroyed, and finally the church hierarchy abandoning any elements which did not conform to the dictums of Orthodox Christianity, indicates that what remains for us today could be far from the intended teachings of Jesus.

[5] The promise of life after death, in particular, relates to the Gospel of John. This Gospel was written and edited by the Fathers of the Church not less than 60 years after the death of Jesus. (Reg Nixon concludes that after delaying 60 years (plus additional years for editing) it should be obvious that either the Founding Fathers were not inspired by GOD or GOD was in no hurry to contact the Founding Fathers).

[6] Medical evidence now confirms that the beliefs in a SOUL and a SPIRIT are without foundation – pages 163 to 171 for comprehensive confirmation.

[7] Organized Religions: In the 21st century Organized Religions ignore the evidence provided in [1] to [6] above and continue to indoctrinate young children and adults in beliefs that are based upon ancient Fairy Tales. 

• Prayers for rain, and millions of daily prayers for peace, go unanswered. The author therefore concludes that believers who claim contact with GOD or Jesus are influenced or controlled by a vivid imagination. All evidence clearly and repeatedly confirms that GOD is absolutely neutral in human affairs.
  HOWEVER: The only prayer that may benefit relates to your mind and body – Pages 151-162
  This knowledge alone is worth the small price of this book.

• Organized Religions have reinvented the God in the Bible. They claim the God in the Bible loves you and wants to guide you through life. By contrast, in the Bible God helped in wars and killed 50,000 and 70,000; killed firstborn (including animals); with the exception of Noah and his family, God killed all life on Earth; God believed in witches and evil spirits; God created evil; God needs sacrifices of burnt animals as a peace, or sin offering; God is jealous of other Gods; God’s harsh treatment of children born out of wedlock; God gave instructions regarding who eats who in a siege, and offers failed advice to overcome leprosy. Because of the Bible, Organized Religions still promotes the belief in the Devil, witches, angles and evil spirits.

• Albert Einstein rejected the belief in a personal GOD – when Christians finally accept this reality, they will be in the company of other intelligent people. The book contains twenty (20) powerful reasons why the “personal GOD” in the Bible does not exist.

• The book also identifies differences in the Bible.
  – For example:
  “Why are there differences in the Gospel of John?”

The writers: None of the gospel authors’ identities is known.  None were eyewitnesses to the Jesus’ ministries.  They relied on second and third hand stories about the teachings of Jesus.  Some may not have been born at the time of Jesus’ ministry and this particularly applies to the Gospel of John as it was written not less than 60 years after the death of Jesus.
Conclusion: Because Jesus is so different in John, the “Claim of Everlasting Life” in John 3:16, and the editing of John, it becomes obvious that the Founding Fathers of the Church wrote then edited the claims in John. The claims in the Gospel of John are therefore unreliable.

• The author challenges FAITH and BELIEF

Young children are indoctrinated or brainwashed by Organized Religions to rely upon FAITH and BELIEF. In church, sermons and – camouflaged as “Praise to the Lord” - religious hymns are designed to control and reinforce adults’ reliance upon FAITH and BELIEF. The reason young children are indoctrinated, and why hymns in church are used to reinforce adult indoctrination become obvious when we realize that all claims made by Christianity and Organized Religions are without evidence. All claims rely upon believers having and maintaining FAITH and BELIEF.

CLAIMS INCLUDE: The Bible is the Word of God - The God in the Bible is GOD. GOD is a Trilogy. God is everywhere. GOD is love – obviously avoiding the contrary evidence in the Bible including Noah and the drowning of the people. Jesus is GOD the Son. Jesus is GOD in the Flesh. Jesus died on the cross for our sins. Those who believe in Jesus will have everlasting life. Heaven and Hell exist – subject to recent variations in the existence of Hell. Prayers are heard by GOD and Jesus. Prayers are answered. Claims in the Bible include: heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, cast out devils, have power against unclean spirits, if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them. Jesus will return but the time is not known (This avoids comments by Jesus including Matthew 16:28 There be some standing here, which shall not taste of death, till they see the Son of Man coming in his kingdom). Born again Christians claim “Jesus is in my heart.” Organized Religions make various claims including being appointed by GOD, representing and acting for GOD and Jesus, and in contact with GOD and Jesus by prayer. Evangelists claim to heal in the name of Jesus.

Organized Religions cannot provide evidence for any one of these claims. If believers do not have FAITH and BELIEF … “POOF, just like magic” … all will disappear. This result will be in keeping with the disappearance of thousands of Gods and Goddesses in ancient times.

Unfortunately … “POOF, just like magic” … is an exaggeration. Many Christians are so indoctrinated or brainwashed that it may take several months before they are entirely rid of the ancient beliefs and rituals Organized Religions use to control them. Some Christians may be so locked into FAITH and BELIEF (by fear, religious instructions, set prayers or crossing oneself as an automatic habit) they are unable to absorb the evidence that will set them free. Others may cling to the belief they will have everlasting life after death – medical evidence confirms that our thoughts and emotions are not spiritual … electrical and chemical changes in the brain are physical. When we die, the body is described as “brain dead.” This means that the body has lost its ability to think, experience emotions or to retain memory.
