From the faith healers to the creationists to the xtian nationalists, to the prosperity fuckers, etc.
Is there an honest one among them?
Not that I can think of. Am I missing someone?
Isn't this a strong indicator that the religion itself is a fraud?
I'll be fair -- all religions are frauds, it's just that i live in the USA and I'm subjected to xtian bullshit more than any other religion.
What makes religions fraud is the word "Truth".
THERE is NOTHING established to be true about religious belief of supernatural things. Yet - it is when even the most pious of the priests says that word in talking about his beliefs - it is the lie.
Are there honest priests - who actually believe in their religion and work to try to obey the principles of their religious morality?
Yup
They are just as deluded and indoctrinated as the Cooks hope their followers will get. And YOU already know just how many of those there are.
