Religion is spiritual slavery.
I know Im gonna take flack for that statement, however, in that statement I am NOT denouncing the existence of god, a god, gods, the one and only god, whatever, I denounce RELIGION. Religion, as it is applied to people is nothing more than a preacher or pastor telling you about the words of the bible. In essence, the preacher, a human, not a god, controls another person by operating on the belief that an individuals spiritual self assessment does not meet the criteria for being a good person and they have to go to CHURCH and give MONEY and listen to their spiritual leaders to be spiritually correct. Just like being politically incorrect, or morally incorrect, the spiritual leaders (who are nothing more than slaves to the entire operation themselves) prey on the fears and doubts of those who are spiritually incorrect.
Religion has nothing to do with god. It is the word of man to describe got but is not the literal word of god him / herself. Again, not saying they dont exist, only that religion is used to control people, hence my original statement.
Look at it this way. If I was a brainwashing war mongering pastor, and your entire point of view on what god is was based completely and only on what I told you it was, I could make you believe that god wants you to kill the facist american pigs and when you die you get 72 virgins. People tend to take less offense if a specific religion I bash on is not their own, but this presents a problem in that way of thinking as they continue to believe their religion is the right and richeous one. What if it isnt and YOU have been manipulated? There are a lot of people in this country still today that can not read and to know the bible have to be told about it by someone else, which gives them power over you. I think we do have a lower percentage of illiterate individuals in this country than exist in muslim countries (not trying to bash on muslim, I just think that is an actual statistic).
Religion is just like any other "power" to control people and use the same tools. Such as FEAR. Now there is about 55 pages of posts on this entire topic and I havent bothered to read much more than the article so this entire statement may seem a little irrelevant. But the point as related to the original post is still the same. Same plans. Same conspiracies. Same shit, different day. Make those who believe in god FEAR, and thus HATE those that think god is bullshit (Im not saying that is my own personal belief or I dont believe in god) but the FEAR and HATE is used to Divide and Conquer, and start the most profitable of all spiritual offenses, war in the name of god that was started on purpose thru fear mongering (terrorist, terrorist, terrorist bla bla bla) to get more power, more money, more control, and eventually, if we do not wake up to all of the different forms of slavery that are applied to us, we will all end up being enslaved by those that control the words of god, and the media, and the free press.
Religion is spiritual slavery. Nothing more, nothing less.
