Was Christianity started to control the masses and dictate poltical agendas

How come you never feel any better after you have tried to put someone else down?

Haven't you had so much misery, confusion and rage that topping yourself was running through your thoughts?

Because I am tired of ignorant superstitious fucks like you who think they are somehow morally superior because they believe absurd ancient fairy tales.

Got it now, fuckhead?

Don't worry about what other people have or do, God is on your side to help you overcome everything that gives you nothing but a lack of self respect.

You should feel compassion for people who are deluded regarding morality and feel morally superior for false reasons. 

And I am tired of people not caring for truth as well but they do it because their families and the structures build by the dark forces, make it hard to let go of the falsehood.

If people become more forbearing and compassionate to one another, and embrace the study of different sources of enlightenment, we might find the truth together as humans, all unite on it. Whether that includes God or not, doesn't matter, we have to find the truth.

If God doesn't exist, than we must know we aren't justified in believing in it. And If God(dess) exists, we must find the avenues to knowing it/him/her.

Our conversations have to not leave a bitter taste, or we won't have the necessary dialogue to bring out the truth.

Conjecture rules, because it's convenient at the moment.

Go fuck yourself and your silly superstitions.  Grow up, laddie.  There is no sky daddy watching over you.  You are on your own.

Scares the piss out of you, doesn't it.

What you have just revealed about yourself is that you sabotage yourself, don't know what to believe, are immature, don't have a father figure, and that you feel alone and scared.
Is there anything else you would like to share about yourself?

I have always felt this to be true. I do know that this is a very common theme I have heard and read as well. That religion was created to control people and the proper way to do that was to use the deterrents of hell and a vengeful God. I do know the Catholic church really grasped onto this. For instance, they did not allow regular people to read the bible; only priests could. Was this to keep out all the stuff they did not want the masses to see? What are your thoughts?

You couldn't think up a thing like god belief from scratch with any reasonable expectation of selling it at a profit.  But god belief predates capitalism by a long way.  So with all these suckers walking around with inbuilt god holes, there was an obvious opportunity for a profitable business plan.

Only IF you are a member of His One True Church.

God certainly is NOT on the side of apostates, heretics, or blasphemers. God absolutely does not hear the prayers of Mormons, Jews, Seventh Day Adventists and literally tens of thousands of other sects that do not follow His Word faithfully.


I'm sure you did not mean to imply that.

Where does it say in the Bible that Jesus only died for a certain class?

"Behold the lamb of God which takes away the sins of the world."

There is no such thing as being alive without God allowing it. The life that human beings have is subject to the laws of heredity, which conditions are affected by the choices that the human race makes.

Humans have the freedom to screw it up for themselves, and the right to wail about the results and of course to blame it on the creator.

The same principle applies to how they handle the fact that God has paved the way for all to be saved, they have the offer of continual forgiveness, a new purpose for life and eternal reward.

But that's just not good enough is it?
(Because it's just a myth, religious people are hypocrites anyway, and if there was a God he would fulfill the dreams of every individual, from the misguided and immature to the hardened criminal, and make the world without any reality, affect-ability, and one hell of a contradicting and stupid menagerie, which is not even equivalent to a drug induced mind trip).

So why don't you post your ideology here, seeing that your thoughts represent the wisest on earth?

God ABSOLUTELY does NOT hear the prayers of Mormons or Seventh Day Adventists.

Do you dispute this ??
