The bad news is that all your beliefs and understanding of the world were developed by a fascist control system that indoctrinates incomplete knowledge to develop abiding citizens that support the machine.
For those who haven't read the gospel recently or ever, you are in for a treat. Don't forget an important command: believe the Good News.

Which one first? I like in order:
•The Infancy Gospel per Thomas
•The Gospel per Thomas
•The Gospel of Mary Magdalene
•The Gospel per Judas
It irks Me that Mary Magdalene still receives 'non-positive' attacks. Sad. That anyone would say/type/utter anything negative about Jesus' "Ol Lady" but look what "They" did to Jesus' BFF Judas...

And Christianity as religion have been part of the corruption of Babylon just like Judaism and Islam.

Matthew 19:12, Jesus blesses the trans-women.
The Good news has no room in this world. This was shown by the Inn that had no room for the birth of the Liberator of Humankind.

In context, it doesn't say that. It is talking about abstinence from sex, not sexual preference.

Beyond the limitations of words, the constraint of this format, and the underlying Christian doctrine: you still managed to communicate well.

Christ had to be born in the STABLE in the story........because God is still.

Facism with a smile.
Fascism was originally described as the merging of government and private corporations, and still applies today. I assumed most people on this site were aware of the corporate/private influence on government.
fascism noun
fas·cism | ˈfa-ˌshi-zəm also ˈfa-ˌsi-
Definition of fascism
often capitalized : a political philosophy, movement, or regime (such as that of the Fascisti) that exalts nation and often race above the individual and that stands for a centralized autocratic government headed by a dictatorial leader, severe economic and social regimentation, and forcible suppression of opposition

The Good News is as good as you can receive. To begin to remove the scales from your eyes, follow the philosophy expressed by Jesus, and you will emerge from your blindness. The Teacher is in each and every one of you. The name of the one who helped Jesus up the mountain - Simon - means "to hearken" or "listen".
Matthew 23: 8-10
8 But be not ye called Rabbi: for one is your Master, even Christ; and all ye are brethren.
9 And call no man your father upon the earth: for one is your Father, which is in heaven.
10 Neither be ye called masters: for one is your Master, even Christ.

Each of us individually is “the son”, which is our Soul experience in this lifetime; And we are all taught by the One True Teacher, which is the Father/Spirit living within all of us. It’s only when we begin to seek Gods truth with all heart, mind and soul that it becomes manifest.

Nicely said. Currently saving up money and spiritual investment to allow a style of living that is conducive to perpetually communing with that Spirit. Although you can remain in Babylon, exemplified by Daniel's life, it seems most logical to set the Spirit free as much as possible. Free from the confines of the admitted futility of this 9-to-5 traffic jam.

To a degree. In recent years, Christian authoritarian establishments have had less influence than the secular material reductionist religion.
Number of practicing American Christians (of all denominations): 100 million = 10^8
Average income: $40,000 = $4 x 10^4
Average tithe: 2% = 2 x 10^-2 (The suggested Biblical value is 10%, but I don't believe many people actually follow that.)
Multiplying these values gives an annual income of $8 x 10^10, which we'll round off to $10^11. A year has about Pi x 10^7 seconds (Check it! This actually works to within a few percent.), so that's an income of $3000 every second. Each minute, that's about $200,000 (to an order of magnitude).
For net worth, we'll make up some more numbers.
Average worth of church building: $1 million
Average size of church: 100 members
This gives a total of 1 million churches in the U.S., each worth $1 million, for a total net worth of $1 trillion.
Even in Christian schools you are taught this matter-based theory of origins.
We were all raised in the secular material reductionist religion, unless you were home schooled. This is the danger of fascist control systems, especially when they gain unanimous control over the educational curriculum.
