Many of you regard compassion the highest virtue. Forgive me if I cannot oblige you, for I do not believe in it. You do not have to think terribly deeply to realize that the so-called virtues of compassion, sympathy, and love, are all 100% selfish.
We pleasure ourselves in three ways with the drug of compassion. Firstly, our ego gets a boost by its good conscience. Secondly, the ego feels secure in the thought that compassion is an investment which will be returned (Christians believe they will go to heaven). And thirdly, if one should try to help others, there is the sympathetic (similar-feeling) response of feeling in oneself the benefit one imagines the other person to feel.
What filthy wretchedness is compassion! And all the more so when it is done in the name of some God, and with the excuse of possessing ultimate authority. By submitting to an imaginary God, we thereby avoid taking responsibility for our actions, and are then oblivious to the disastrous consequences.
"Compassion" is one of those sweet, sugar-coated words, along with "love", "devotion" and "peace", which pander to the pleasant dreams of Christians. But each one of these words is a time bomb, capable of destroying humankind! Each bears within it the seeds of hatred, violence, greed, and war, which will inevitable come to fruit. Yet Christians do not concern themselves with consequences or responsibility; they see only the "peace", and not the war that lies within its thin shell.
Was Jesus a woman? Christians certainly paint him as such - submissive, meek, mild, compassionate, and loving. They have projected their own petty values and weaknesses onto him, turning him into a woman! For a person to need a father figure for support is bad enough, but this is not nearly so bad as needing a mother figure!
