What is a proof?

[EGross]

Any religion that has a hell, makes it to control the ignorant. The more complex the hell, the more controlling the religion. Mohammend probably stole that idea from the Church, and it served him well. But the problem with having a religion to subdue freedom is that, in the end, freedom wins.

Controlling is not bad as we are slaves

I agree whole heartedly that Religion is the authority upon which one gives up his or her freedom to be a slave to a deity.

You adore slavery of that kind. I hold the opposite opinion. You see joy in servitude, I see joy in freedom. And while there is a long history of atrocities being done in the name of [put name of favorite god here], often, supposedly, by His/Her command, those who are free and do not live in a theocracy have always had the ability and more often than not, say "no!".

You will continue to believe, because being a slave feels good. And so the rest of this discussion is fairly pointless, because a slave will never say anything against his master or the slave handlers. To begin to do so would be the beginning of the end of slavery.
