My honest review of Christianity

[Aoi Magi]

Simply putting it . . . Sin diverts us from our ultimate aim of being god like (note- not being god)

I see, so kind of like mormonism? You become god like and go create your own worlds? cause I don't see much point to being god like if we are just going to spend all eternity worshiping him.

People sharing those religions are doing so because they believe in it, they enjoy the religion, and they want to share that enjoyment. They aren't evil monster's that need to be stopped. :-)

Brainwashing doesn't involve monsters or "evil" acts, all it means is that those who are brainwashed believe in something to stubbornly to even consider any other explanations or facts.

All that said, the promise of dire afterlife consequences is an inherent coersion within all the Abrahamic religions, Hinduism, and probably many others.

No, in Hinduism you don't get a special eternal afterlife, concept of swarga/naraka aren't exactly the heaven and hell concept they are translated to these days. As per Hinduism, you just get to die for a final time without having to be stuck in the life-death cycle forever, kind of like Buddhism. The original concept was/is that God or Parmatma is a the original soul and we and everything in existence are little pieces of that soul, which go through the life-death cycle to purify themselves so they can reunite back with the actual grand-soul. There is no indication that we retain any consciousness or individuality when that happens. Also the swarga/naraka which were added later on are like a detention in your school. If you did good, you get to rest up a bit in swarga, and if you've been bad you get temporary detention in naraka before resuming the cycle.


Ok sorry about the rant, you can get back to topic now
