The reason religion is so powerful is because of the concept of God. God is above everything. The universe, the Earth, humanity, were created by God. Since religion exists due to God, then religion is above everything too. Above politics, countries, economy, etc.
Life after death, for example, is exclusive to religion. No political ideology promises you heaven after death. Religion tells you you will meet your parents after death, and reunite. No political ideology promises this.
This is why religion is so dangerous. Since God is above everything, so is religion, as the cause of its existence is God, and God is absolute. So your beliefs are absolute.
So.. Nazism and hitler's plan is/was less powerful than benny hinn and the hour of power...
The Stalin's russia who is said to have killed 60 million people in his reign alone is less dangerous than joel ostien's world or word of faith ministry?
That communist china (atheist by force country) who has recently/potentially released the woohan virus on us. Who has Potentially in the 100s of millions, put people in prison, make whole families disappear for political reasons/opposition to the state put people in reeducation camps. our right starved out conquored and destroyed any one who is smaller than them and opposes communist china rule. has a standing army in the 10s o millions, is less of a threat than say all of christianity, then you are a brain washed zombie.
sheep-heart there is no greater terrestrial threat to anything not communist chinese than china. and guess what communist china is not a religion, there is no god ruling it and still as a country threaten the rest of the world in a very serious and real way.
if you don't think so give it 20 years. if we are still here, we can finish this discussion in mandarin from our reeducation camps...
