I've said before that, even if you don't believe the Bible is true, you should give props to those bronze-age goat herders who wrote something that tapped into the human psyche so well that it's still being followed by a big chunk of humanity thousands of years later.
I can't see why they would give everyone, including slaves and animals, every seventh day off.
Anyway, do religious leaders use psychology? Sure, some of them do. Why do you call them tricks?
followed ?
really?
99% of those 40,000+ schisms are filled to overflowing with scripture cherry pickers that think they know better than God/Jesus/Ghost about what's important to follow and what ain't.
God needs to throw in the towel and get in line behind his supposed 'followers' cause they sure as hell ain't following Him.
The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.
