This is only a problem if you subscribe to your particular holy book. Consider someone living by the tales in Grimm’s fairy tales coming at you complaining that all candy is a tool of witches used to deceive children so they can eat them. You’d look at them as if they were a fool. Well, the same applies when we swap Grimm's fairy tales for the Koran, the Torah and yes even the bible.
There’s plenty of religions and plenty more that’s have flourished and faded away to obscurity. I have no more reason to believe christians understand and have recorded “the truth” anymore than the Egyptians, the Aztec’s, the Japanese, the Greeks, the romans, the Norse or any of extinct civilizations. I honestly don’t believe any supreme creator of a universe that’s made stars, planets, galaxies, radiation, gravity, life, and all manner of things we don’t even know about yet gives two shits about every human, soul or not, simply because of our need to feel special. Our hubris and fear of death making people want an easy way out to live forever doesn’t mean there’s a heaven or a hell. No proof of limbo, Valhalla, hel, Elysium, you name it. Tales made up to make scared people feel better. Tales made to control the weak minded. Why would you hire an army to enforce your made up rules when you can simply convince the sheep that an invisible man living in the sky is watching everything you do every moment of every day? And you have to follow these rules or he’ll be mad at you, oh yeah and he needs money. 10 percent of your gross income. Just give it to us nice holy men, we’ll make sure he gets it.
It’s Santa Claus but believed by adults. Instead of toys and chocolate you get eternal life on a cloud playing a harp with angel wings? Give me a break. And for the REALLY deluded they’re a personal soldier in gods army against the super evil devil!
I really wish we had a Christian.win to banish all the christ posters to, they’re all over the board. Any other cult they’re happy to point out and laugh but they’re own sacred cow must never be questioned or mocked.
