Faith Through Fear

Faith Through Fear
"Fear is the greatest power known to man, and fear is what religion is based on. It is the perfect means of control"


If you can convince the public that they have something or someone to fear then by doing that you can also make them act in a way or take certain actions that they would otherwise not do. Once you have made them believe that you have the answer or that they are safe in your hands then you now have been given all the power. For now that they are convinced and a have a firm belief in whatever your selling them you now can slowly begin to manipulate them in anyway you perceive. This has happened time and time again, and I am reminded of this famous quote “Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it.” - George Santayana. There are many examples of this that come to mind all through our history, one of the most recent and infamous is that of Adolf Hitler and the Holocaust. He convinced a whole country that Jews were to blame for all their problems. One man was able to rise to power and over time manipulate his country into the killing of approximately six million Jews and because of that will never be forgotten and has a permanent place in our history books. Now don’t you think if only one man can have such an effect then many man could come up with stories (Jesus, Allah, Krishna, Muhammad ,etc.) about a great and wise man or woman who once lived and performed great miracles and if you blindly believe in this person and do what they say you will live forever in a perfect place but if you don’t believe in this person that has no shred of evidence off ever actually existing that you will be forever tormented in the depth of a burning hell but this person steal loves you. Young Muslims are so convinced and blindly believe that they will crash into a building or blow themselves up in the name of Allah and then expect to have a certain amount of virgins waiting on them when they get to heaven. The Christians will laugh and make fun of this not realizing that they are just as fooled. Christianly has been controlling people since it was thought up. I mean at one time and for a long period of time the pope was the most powerful position in the world. If you think Christians have always been so righteous, then do a little reading on the crusades. The bottom line is man cannot except their own mortality and will continue to make up stories and beliefs to make them feel like they will never die.
