Faith Through Fear
|
 Quote:I think in its purest form, that is, the true teachings Religion was, at its earliest, an attempt to persuade the gullible that natural forces could be controlled by propitiation conducted by the priest class. Once the natural alliance was formed between the priests and the political leaders there was no longer any need to persuade and threats could be used instead. |
