Augustine Was a Mentally Ill Maniac Who Invented Original Sin
How one disturbed man ruined the soul of Christianity
By Bishop Ray Taylor, Ph.D.
If you have ever felt ashamed of your body
If you have ever been told you were born dirty
If you have ever been convinced that you are guilty for existing
You can thank Saint Augustine of Hippo
The twisted priest who infected the world with the doctrine of original sin
Before Augustine
Nobody in Christianity believed that a newborn baby was going to hell
Let that sink in
Jesus never said it
Paul never said it
Peter never said it
It was Augustine
A neurotic, guilt-ridden sex addict turned bishop
Who projected his own self-hatred onto the entire human race
The Man Who Hated His Own Body
Augustine spent his early life as a pagan hedonist
He drank
He partied
He slept around
And he loved it
But instead of owning his past
He ran from it
And declared war on the flesh
He said that human beings are corrupted
Because of one act in a garden
Thousands of years ago
Two naked people ate fruit
And because of that
You deserve hell
That’s his theology
Not the Bible’s
His
He claimed that sex was sinful
Even in marriage
He said that even a baby is full of lust and pride
And that the only thing standing between you and eternal damnation
Was the blood of a crucified man-god who had to die
Because your ancestors disobeyed
Does that sound sane to you
Or does it sound like spiritual blackmail
Augustine Made God a Tyrant and Jesus a Scapegoat
You think Christianity is about love
But at the core of your theology is this
A perfect God creates people
Sets them up to fail
Gets angry
And demands a blood sacrifice to make things right
That logic did not come from Jesus
It came from Augustine’s broken mind
This is not spirituality
It is a divine hostage situation
He turned Jesus into a human blood payment
A cosmic transaction to appease a rageful deity
All rooted in a mythological sin
That you never committed
Augustine made it law
The church made it doctrine
And you inherited the fear
The Original Sin Scam
Let’s call it what it is
A scam
Original sin was invented to make you feel guilty
To make you feel helpless
To make you think you need the church to save you from yourself
They tell you that your very existence is a problem
And then offer you the solution
Tithes
Obedience
Baptism
Confession
Sacraments
And blind submission
All to cleanse you of a sin
That never belonged to you in the first place
It is religious abuse
And it began with Augustine
The Rot at the Root
Everything you hate about modern Christianity
The guilt
The fear
The obsession with blood
The hatred of the body
The cult of obedience
It all goes back to this man
He hijacked the early Christian movement
He smeared the name of Jesus
He rewrote the nature of God
And the church worshipped him for it
Saint Augustine
Patron saint of mental slavery
Architect of divine abuse
Father of the sickest doctrine ever created
It’s Time to Break the Chain
You were not born sinful
You were not born broken
You were not born damned
You were born free
The crime is that they stole that from you
Wrapped it in scripture
And called it salvation
If you want to follow Jesus
Fine
But stop following Augustine
He never saved anyone
He only made sure they would live in fear
Veritas Lux Mea. Truth is my light.
