Jim Cornette on religion

RE: Jim Cornette on religion
I don't believe it was due to eliminating the magical fantasy belief (which did not happen) but the result of intentional acts to consolidate power and control. 

And what of the "god" controlled regimes now?

Ahh, but you could make the same argument of religion. What other reason would there be for making the translation of the bible into the language of the masses illegal?

What's your point in relation to the communist killings? I'll agree that the attempt to eliminate religion was an attempt at control. 

They were not killing for to create "non religion", or at least that was not the primary reason. Using eliminating religion under "Russian communism" or "communist regimes" as the primary reason for the mass killings is uninformed.

It's certainly not a magic wand that will end all strife. Just one source of strife.

I suppose they'd still kill each other over the best way to worship it.

A pro wrestler not suggesting a cage death match? God vs God on pay per view. He might be a tad off his nut.

I'd pay good money to see Jesus vs Thor.  "Smack-down" takes on a whole other meaning when delivered with a hammer.

I think, main reason for war is economy. And the reason why people are willing to kill to lead a luxury lifestyle is savagery, which not so long ago was mundane for people. Compassion is bitter like poison and savagery is a very easy method to get what you want.
