To many teenagers, the established Catholic and Protestant
Churches are out - long since. Focus, a weekly German magazine, found
that every second person in Germany doesn't believe what the Catholic
Church says. Even despairing attempts to polish their tainted image like
with a recent CD production of the pope singing to techno music reaches
only a limited target audience.

The revolutionary spirit in many young people rejects
hypocrisy, pagan cult-rituals and eternal damnation, it rejects blind
obedience, church taxes, dogma and indoctrination. Many don't want to
have anything to do with God because they only know the God of the Churches
with His mysteries, who has to be appeased by penitence and "Our Fathers."
Only 50% of the German population believe in this God. (Spiegel survey
of 1999). 25% of all those surveyed by "Focus" didn't even have a concept
of God. An alarming result! The people who leave the ever-emptying churches
apparently haven't experienced God there. How come? If you ask a Catholic
or Protestant Excellency, Eminence or Reverend about God, about the meaning
of fate or the precarious world situation, you get an informative answer
- like the unfathomable mysteries of God, His inscrutable will.

| Jesus was a revolutionary! | |
| In 2000 years, it seems the Church has succeeded in royally botching up the revolutionary teaching of Jesus of Nazareth and God. The institutions have so distorted and complicated the divine truth and teachings of Jesus of Nazareth over the centuries that you have to study it in order to understand it or even figure out that you can't understand it. The Church made from the loving God a God of revenge who, according to His inscrutable will, lets some of His children starve while others live in luxury, who sends the one into eternal damnation and the other to heaven. They imposed silence on the revolutionary Christ, banning him to the cross where he now hangs scorned for 2000 years except at Christmastime when he lies in the manger as a sweet babe. Dead or as a baby, he can't speak up - nor should he. In the end, it's the Eminences, Excellencies and the Pope who have the say in the church, not Christ, the revolutionary. Jesus of Nazareth was no pussyfooter! In clear language, he scourged the sanctimoniousness of the priests of that time: "You are like white-washed tombs, beautiful on the outside and rotten on the inside." He was plainspoken and never tried to please anyone, except God, his Father. And his teaching, summarized in the Sermon on the Mount has just as much dynamite today as 2000 years ago: "Give what you expect", "take the beam out of your own eye...", "love your enemies", ... - today, more relevant than ever. Yet, it is exactly these days that one thinks that the "Christian" West hasn't at all been touched by the teaching of "love your neighbor," much less heard about "love your enemies". War, murder and intransigence is what dominates our life together on earth - there's not a trace of "Christian." | |
| Try it out - Don't study it! | |
| There's only one thing left to do: Set out on the search for God - Beyond sham-Christianity! Try out the teachings of Jesus of Nazareth yourself, check it out and see if your life changes for the better. And for all those who weren't talked out of a speaking God by ministers or pastors: | |
| God speaks again even today | |
|
God speaks again even today, and explains in detail how a person can apply these simple spiritual principles. He is being revealed as at all times through the mouth of a prophet and explains the cosmic correlations in a clarity and depth never before experienced - not only for spiritual edification, but so that we finally begin to change ourselves and thus, the world around us as well, step by step. The logical consequence of saying, "God - Yes!" is to not just believe, but to follow it up in deeds. |

| Revolution! | |
| Revolutions were at all times started by the younger generation. It was always young people who weren't satisfied with the status quo, who didn't want to let themselves be yoked by tradition or managed by materialistic security, but who wanted to build a better society. The tools for this are in our hands with the teachings of Jesus of Nazareth. Now it's up to us. |
