Isaiah 55:8–9 (RSV) — 8 For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, says the LORD.9 For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts.
So, is that a yes then?

I agree. This is the foundation and the ultimate purpose of the Christian dogma - turning men into slaves for god. And since their god is not real, what they really would be slaves to are the god's so-called proxies on Earth.
