A Spider Trap: Partners in Evil

By Fred L. Ward

Pope John Paul II - Tear down your wall of sins

"As a victim of sexual abuse by an alcoholic, pedophile priest at the age of 11, I endorse this book and this message." - Gerald Payne (June 11,2004)

A Spiders Trap the sequel to Dont Holler at Me, I Didnt Write the Bible, gives a vivid crisis of the problems that are embed throughout the Christian Bible that dove-tail precisely with the problems that are embed in the clergy within the Roman Catholic Church, as well as all denominations of religion established that are of the Christian faith.

Dont Holler at Me, I Didnt Write the Bible first deals with the Bible. It was easy, and to be expected, mistakes were made, as they were hand copied and passed from one generation to the next. In many cases, the holder of a bird quill entered his or her own ideas into the manuscript. Under the best possible temperature control, and the best quality print materials, paper, ink, etc like one might find in the Library of Congress manuscripts would hold its quality, at best, for just a few hundred years. For that reason history has only a few hundred years old manuscripts in existence today.

The modern discovery of allegedly ancient manuscripts has caused some publicity-seeking individuals to endorse these recently discovered manuscripts as authentic. They are nothing more than forgeries, fakes that common sense dictates that no other decision needs to be considered.

The second part of my sequel to Dont Holler at Me, I Didnt Write the Bible deals with the sexual abuse of children and young adults by the clergy of the Roman Catholic faith, starting in January of 1992 to December, 2003. As we speak, factual recorded history of child sex abuse by the Roman Catholic clergy and priests bishops, archbishops, cardinals as reported in the news print names, dates, places, the cover-ups, suicides, number of priests, bishops, cardinals, their names, location, action taken and by whom, fines paid (totaling hundreds of millions of dollars, some settled, others pending), the selling of church property of the diocese and/or archdiocese, prison for some, names, dates, places, and places where abuse occurred (some were actually performed on the altar).

It makes me want to puke, just one big rotten smell. Now you can see why I dovetailed together the abuse of the Christian Bible in cadence with the abuse of young innocent Christian children. Let there be no mistake about it: your Bible and my Bible is in deep trouble, your church and my church of the Christian faith is in deep trouble.

The Truth About

the

Christian Bible

For better enhancement of this novel, a significant amount of text is imbedded within this sequel to Don’t Holler At Me, I Didn’t Write the Bible. Portions of text used Let’s Ask God, the RRattlesnake Bible and Don’t Holler At Me, I Didn’t Write the Bible.

The Purpose of My Book

The sole purpose for the creation of this book is to establish a very real and urgent need for a true and accurate Christian bible. A Bible that is free from all the problems that are in the Christian Bible that you will see in this sequel to Let’s Ask God, the Rattlesnake Bible and Don’t Holler at Me—I Didn’t Write the Bible. A Bible that is free from infidel writings—a Bible that is free from atheistic writings—a Bible that is free form the devil’s workshop—a Bible that is free from pornography. A Bible that is free from promoting the death penalty—a Bible that is free from promoting physical harm. A Bible that is free from promoting killing by the edge of the sword—a Bible that is free from promoting any and all means of the taking of one’s life. A Bible that is free from public ridicule by M of the world’s population—a Bible that is free from infighting among our neighbors—a Bible that is totally free from constant or otherwise contradictions. A Bible that is free from outright lies. A Bible that is free from mandatory instructions i.e. go tell your sins to a priest—eye for eye, tooth for a tooth. All of these things we do not need in our Christian bible—they must go. If Christianity is to ever have peace worldwide—all these things that on speaks must go from the Christian Bible. There are a host of other writings in the Bible that must go—most of all of the book of Genesis must go, all of the book of Revelations must go—and some of the Gospels must go.

With the Bible as it is today—little wonder that we Christians are considered infidels—little wonder Christians are murdered somewhere in this world on a daily basis—for the most part—sticking our nose into other people’s religion—trying to convert as missionaries. 3 out of 4 of other religions worldwide don’t want us Christians near them. They will, and do—kill us on sight, no questions asked.

When are we going to ever learn to leave other people alone and mind our own business? After over 2,000 years ago, one would think we would have gotten the message centuries ago—but no—each generation has their own ideas and ambitions—and desire to conquer the whole world in our lifetime—after 2,000 years, we haven’t don it yet—and we never will, unless—every Christian in this world pays attention and listens to me and does as I say—promote a decent Bible. A decent Christian bible—that the whole world can be proud of—then, at that point—you will see miracles happen. It will be Christmas 365 days a year for all religions including Christian—peace on earth and goodwill toward man.

The Pope needs to know—once and for all—he must, must weedout and keep the weeds out and away from the priesthood—if you are a sex child abuser—you are a weed. No more cover-up to protect the clergy from the Vatican—you have done this for centuries, the time has past come to stop.

Why i dedicate this book to my parents: Erby Celestine Ward (E. C. Ward) and Ruda Ellen Roach Ward—In thinking back to the time of my childhood (75 years ago) life on my parents’ farm, especially all of those cold winder months—walking through the woods, across the fields to a little one-room country school that lay a good two miles away from my home.

There are many things I can still remember quite vividly of my childhood—some good—some not good.

Me and the Depression years hit head on at the same time. Boy did I hate the farm? Always chores to do that somehow never seem to get completely finished—you bet, I hated the farm. Did I hate school? You be I hated school—because I had to get up extra early to do chores before going to school—and do chores after I got home from school.

Did I hate to go to church on Sundays—my only day off—supposedly—to rest? You bet, I hated to go to church on Sundays. 5 miles to church—5 miles back—two hours to get there—two hours to get back home—and then 2 hours in church—or it seemed like it—plus one hour tending the mules to pull the wagon to get to church in the first place.

Dad would throw a heavy made quilt on the floor board of the wagon, for us children to lay an—then there a tarpaulin on top of us—to keep the cold wind off—then lit a kerosene—Dietz—lantern—lit to help keep us warm—placed under the tarpaulin with us children taking turns holding the lantern. Of course, we had other quilts to keep us warm as we lay under the tarpaulin.

Mom and Dad in the wagon seat covered with quilts to ward off the cold wind—at times near zero.

The Sunday mass was always said in Latin—and the sermon: sometimes the Old Testament, sometimes the Gospels, sometimes the Book of Revelations. Every Sunday I would have to travel 10 miles (total), spend a minimum of 6 hours of my time of my only day off—scared to death the devil might get me—at any given moment—nearly freeze to death—near zero weather—one can easily sympathize with me for hating Sundays. My best prayer at my age? Please Lord, let me grow up fast.

Now that I am at the age of 78, I often think of those days—how I suffered through my young years—for what? With all the wrongs that are in the Christian Bible—let’s face it, we have a Bible that only Christians can tolerate—but they fight like cats and dogs all the time. Then there is the sex abuse of children by the Roman Catholic Cardinals, bishops, and priests. Hundreds of millions of dollars spent given to those that were abused. Pope John Paul II and his cardinals in Rome, plead totally innocent we didn’t know all this was going on—honest judge—scout’s honor—cover up?

My dad would turn over in his grave if he knew what the Roman Catholic Church has become and who is responsible for it—from the Pope on down to the priests. The Roman Catholic Church has become a glutton of sin—abuse—and shame. No, my dad would not turn over in his grave—he would come out of his grave—and head straight for Rome as the crow flies. He would kick every ass that didn’t get out of his way—including the Pope.

The infidel—atheistic—pornography—the urge to kill, etc. Hideous—passages that has saturated the Christian Bible—has, without any doubt in my mind, played a major role in the religious wars that permeate our society worldwide from the establishment of the Christian Bible to this very day—non-stop—on a daily basis.

It is my belief that the clergy of the Christian faith understand and realize this to be true. The average person who claims to be of the Christian faith—does not realize the scope of the faults that are imbedded in the Christian Bible. Most of the ministers do not know the Bible well—they just think they do.

Regardless of the knowledge of the Bible, a Christian minister has—they all seem to inherit the freedom to sin as they please, when ever they please, where ever they please—this attack has been significantly demonstrated by the Roman Catholic clergy in the United State of America for perhaps hundred of years—kept secret of course—but came to light on January of 2002. The sex abuse of children and young adults—is so wide spread throughout the United States of American children—by the clergy of the Roman Catholic faith—is cause in part—and perhaps a huge part is the attitude they have of the Christian Bible. If the Bible is sinful, we can be too. I believe the Bible is the root cause of sin among the faithful. We can be sinful and abuse little children.

We shall explore some of the wrongs in the Bible that will help us to understand better the sinful behavior of all clergy of the Christian faith. The overwhelming evidence of a sinful—infidel Christian Bible supports the urgent need of a whole new Christian Bible. You will find in this book that overwhelming evidence that we speak of.

A Preview Of My Sequel

Would I let the Pope, cardinals, bishops and priests get away with murder; suicides as a result of child sex abuse that have occurred at the hands of the Roman Catholic clergy? Would I do that? Naw, he wouldn’t dare, you say. To open his mouth by the use of his pen? Just watch me.

Would I accuse Pope John Paul II of issuing a confidential manual of instruction on the manner of procedure in cases of solicitation to all patriarchs, archbishops, bishops, and other diocesan ordinaries, even of the Oriental rite? He wouldn’t dare, you say. Just watch me. A manual in possession and in locked vaults, in strict secrecy except for those authorized by the Vatican to see, touch and read.

I wouldn’t accuse the Roman Catholic Church and all other denominations of churches of the Christian faith of the cover-up of a rotten, deceitful, infidel Bible, would I? Naw, I wouldn’t do that, would I? Just watch me.

Would I accuse the Roman Catholic Church of using the confessional as a spider trap to enhance their objective of sex abuse towards children and young adults? He wouldn’t dare, you say. Just watch me.

Would I dare to suggest to Pope John Paul II what he needs to do to silence not the sex abuse victims, but the silencing of the confessional for eternity? He wouldn’t dare do that, you say. Watch me.

Would I dare to tell Pope John Paul II that our beloved Christian Bible needs a complete house cleaning? Where do we start and where do we end with the house cleaning of the entire Bible? Goodbye, Book of Genesis. Goodbye, Book of Revelation. Goodbye, Mark, and take your rattlesnakes and poison with you as you go. Would I dare to suggest this house cleaning to Pope John Paul II? He wouldn’t dare to, you say. Just watch me.

Well, all the Popes and other clergy have hid behind the Bible for centuries, and get by with it to the point that they feel secure to do whatever they please and get away with it. Just watch me.

I had the courage to write this book and to tell you the truth, exactly like it is. I hope you will have the courage to read it—all of it. This book explains to you a Christian Bible you thought you knew but didn’t. This book tells you of a Christian religion you thought you knew, but didn’t. Don’t blame me for any of these surprises. I didn’t make them, I just wrote about them.

—The Author

Problems with the Christian Bible

Let us begin:

Stars in the heavens gave light upon the earth. The two great lights, the sun to rule the day and the lesser light; the moon, to rule the night.

The Bible says these lights were placed in the heaven long after the waters covered the earth, and the waters were parted and the waters were gathered together into one place, and let the dry land appear.

The dry land was called Earth and the gathering of the waters called seas.

I am puzzled by this. It is a scientific fact, before there could have been any water at all, anywhere, there would have to be established the two greater lights in the heaven:

The sun and the moon, quite simple, "no sun, no moon, no water.

The temperature on earth without the sun would have been minus four hundred fifty-nine degrees Fahrenheit. This is a scientific fact—and God, I know you don’t go against scientific facts and nature to accomplish your goals.

How in the world could there have been an abundance of water before the sun and moon came to be? After the waters and earth? Not before? I believe all things are here through the process of law and order—the way the first seven days of creation as quoted in the Bible in the book of Genesis is out of order. I believe the way the first seven days of creation as quoted in the Bible is in error.

I believe, Lord, you are the creator of all things in the universe; creation was not done in a haphazard mode. All creation was done in a precise timing of events as was necessary with the aid of nature and exact biological knowledge for all of creation.

Chapter 1, verse 26, "and God said, Let us make man in our own image, after our likeness."

Verse 27, So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him.

Lord, I have a problem with verse 26 and 27. In verse 26 you said let us make man in our image, after our likeness, using the plural form. Do you mean God the Father, God the Holy Spirit (God that had not yet been born)? God, you are a pure spirit that has always been and will always be. You will make man in the flesh to look precisely like you would look in the flesh? As your mind’s eye would see yourself as you would look in a mirror? As a human being? If this is not so, then maybe you made man in the image you wished man to be, in preparation for the coming of the Son of God, Jesus Christ.

Work, work, work, go to the confessional, go to church in a road wagon, listen to a priest tell about the evils in the Bible, wake up in a cold sweat just at the devil takes a big swing with his notched tine pitchfork (or hay fork, what’s the difference?) at my butt. The devil will get you, the devil will get you! ringing in my ears all throughout my young childhood, and all of this is still going on today. The devil will get you.

This is what I went through during my childhood. People looked up to preachers, priests, and rabbis. Regardless of your religious orientation, your credentials put you high on a pedestal. You know it all. You know everything. You could read anything in the Bible, anything at all, and preach to your people exactly what that meant.

You were a college graduate. You know the ifs, when’s, where’s, whys and how’s. There wasn’t a vowel, syllable, word or whatever that you didn’t know or couldn’t explain. And those with a doctorate degree, why they are the holiest of the holy. They can even tell you what gear Nero played his fiddle in while Rome burned. They can tell you why Goliath was slain by David. It was because Goliath ate too much ice cream just before the battle with David, and chocolate ice cream at that, heavily laced with M&Ms. They know all about the devil.

Here is a story I like to tell regarding the devil. What I am going to tell you is a real, honest, true story, because I am a part of this story.

I asked a Baptist minister once, Why is there a devil and how did this all come about?

Oh. You see, Lucifer was at one time an angel in Heaven. Lucifer became dissatisfied and jealous of God because God had more power than he had. Lucifer wanted to be like God and have the power of God. God was not pleased so He kicked Lucifer out of Heaven. That is why we have the devil to this day.

What is it like in Heaven?

We don’t know, we can only imagine from what God has said about Heaven in a small way. We Christians believe there is complete joy and happiness in Heaven, beauty and serenity beyond all our ability to comprehend.

There is so much happiness in Heaven living with God that there is absolutely no desire to do wrong, no thought of doing wrong. In fact, it is impossible to do wrong. All of this is absolutely, completely true.

Has this always been this way in Heaven since God received the first soul of mankind into Heaven?

True, absolutely true. No chance of doing wrong, the minister said.

I understand, I said to him, but how do you reconcile the fact that what you have said to me has two conflicting points of view?

What do you mean? the minister asked.

Well, you have said that we cannot do wrong in Heaven, that it’s impossible to do wrong in Heaven. But you also said that Lucifer was jealous of God because God had greater power than Lucifer. Lucifer wanted the power of God, and that’s why God kicked Lucifer out of Heaven, you said. Now Reverend, we can’t have it both ways. Either you can do wrong in Heaven, or you can’t do wrong in Heaven. Now, Reverend, which way is it?

Oh my goodness, you have put to me a situation that I have never dreamed of. I have never in my life thought about it that way. I now see exactly what you mean. This is not right at all.

It is a fact that God did not write the Bible. Most all ministers of the Christian faith and most all people of the Christian faith, especially those people of the Baptist faith, those that I label hardshell Baptists, will swear on their mother’s grave that God made several trips down from Heaven in the middle of the night while everybody was asleep and wrote the Bible. Yes-siree, God wrote the Bible, no ifs, no ands, and no buts about it.

Then there are others who will say that God told them exactly what to write in the Bible. To all of this I say pig hockey! Of all the people who get murdered every hour on the hour, do any receive any warning from God, any instructions from God on how to avoid death? Of course not. How to prepare for imminent death from any cause? Of course not.

Did God tell people in the Old Testament what to write? Most all ministers of the Christian faith and most, if not all who follow the Christian faith seem to think so. Again, I say pig hockey. We all agree that God created all things. Of course, I include all the laws of biology, the laws of nature, the laws of mathematics, and the laws of chemistry.

The cause of all creation by God, one step at a time in an orderly and precise chronology of events for the necessary and successful creation of all things.

This has to be true.

Well then, is everybody of the Christian faith, especially the ministers, yes, the ministers that are responsible to teach the Bible, and give what they perceive to be a correct understanding of the Bible to their flock, knowing very well, if they would only stop to think that the book of Genesis, in the beginning etc., has to be wrong. Any time there is a conflict between religion and biology,
