"Hey, why'd you kill those people and take all their stuff? I didn't tell you to do that (this time)?" It's so they don't start to feel like they have all the power and have no need for god, and take that power away from the clergy and whoever made up the stories in the first place. Just another control mechanism, but with a slightly more sinister bent than is traditionally proposed by guys like George Carlin.
I'm just asking these questions of Drich out of curiosity about his opinion and to help conceptualise some stuff from the Christian perspective. But I'm not on the attack... just curious. So whether I agree with you or not is irrelevant because I'm not looking to start an argument (at this time at least
). We all have and are entitled to our opinions and I'm just curious as to what his are. So I'll just ask my questions and then I'll be gone.
