Faith Through Fear

RE: Faith Through Fear
Christians are great idolators. Fuckers just love images of jeebus on a cross, Mary in every possibly uninteresting pose, and about every frigging saint ever invented. Let's not even get into their lust for relics.

There you go with what the Catholics do, the protestants are different, personally I believe to still have Christ hanging on the cross is wrong.
God loves those who believe and those who do not and the same goes for me, you have no choice in this matter. That puts the matter of total free will to rest.

When you point at others who have different views on the same label, to us it is like watching a Star Trek fan point at a Star Wars fan and say "The force is stupid".

When you or they, or any Muslim or Jew or Hindu, can get your pet deity claims as established scientifically as entropy and evolution, and you can take your claims to the patent office, then we can really talk.

Otherwise I am going to the default position that humans make up gods and always have, you and every human in our evolution that has ever made the claim of a disembodied magic super brain.

Quote:something or someone to fear then by doing that you can also make them act in a way or take certain actions that they would otherwise not do.
Well, we all have to obey the law, don't we. We fear punishment, therefore, we obey the law.
Fear is something that everyone uses towards someone. Why should it be any different for religion?
