• One must believe scores of articles of blind-faith. One must never accept on blind faith. There are 10 - 12 articles.
• One must not question the articles of faith, even if some appear absurd, repressive of human rights, unjust or unethical. Rubbish - questioning is integral
• One who questions the articles of faith or does not embrace them must be considered evil and therefore must be ostracized, vilified and disenfranchised. - in non Christian Christianity, as practiced in 5th Century Rome. Such a view removes choice and is contradictory
• One must submit to obey hundreds of rules and may not question the justice or injustice of them. - umm... you said this already
• One must consider themselves evil if they disobey the rules. One must agree they deserve punishment. - No, disobeying the rules is to be expected. You think rule breaking should go unpunished?? Very odd. You do bad stuff, you suffer.
• One must consider all others evil who do not obey the rules. They must be punished whether they agree with the rules or not. - Child psychology: you aren't 'evil' you do evil.
• One must do everything in their power, using either persuasion or the force of law, to ensure all others embrace the same articles of faith and embrace the same rules. - repetition again. Force does not equal choice, and as such is anti Christian.
• One must agree that all of the above is the right-way and the only-way. Therefore, society must be everlastingly enslaved to it and never allowed to escape. - Haha
Wake up SO, you're dreaming again!!
