Greetings

There seems to be a lot of interest about this religion

All religions are about the same, my friend.

A tool used by the powerful to control the weak and nothing but bullshit from the word go.


Including yours.


Welcome, btw.

thanks for the salutations

You do have a good point were it seems like the powerful are controlling the weak and the poor with religion.

It seems like many religions around the world have been hijacked to control the masses in a certain political direction.

Firstly, I would argue that these religions have thousands of years of knowledge that shouldn't be ignored. Many of the mainstream religions have good moral points to illustrate how to behave and interact in your environment. Relative morality that can cause problems in society.

Secondly, I think majority of mainstream religions are taught in a negative fashion. Example, if you do this... you'll burn in hell,...you will be punished, you will have a painful death, ...etc. If you teach the youth in this fashion you'll kill their freedom of thought and creativity later in life. Typically these teachers are poor themselves and thus this kind of education will limit these youths as they get older.

To be successful in the scientific or business world, you need to have a clear mind and ask questions without getting punished for it. You need to have the freedom to think outside of the box.

Once we have a just world, where everyone can read and write, the powerful can not easily hide behind a religion. They can certainly demonize a religion but they can't hijack it like they use to.
