church

[whitelotus]

is the church currupt ?

see....basically the church and relgion were used to control stupid society. Why was society stupid and uneducated ? Because priests , monks kept all the books and knowledge locked up in the church. Only they were allowed to educate themselves. People were kept stupid so they would be easily controlled and tricked. The church is a million, even billion dollar business.

do you know where the idea of christianing came from ?
the church made it so people would christian themselves in order to buy yourself a ticket into heaven. They also sold parchments, scrolls and other things to people, as a way to get into heavin easily. And stupid society believed this, so they bought up all the different things in order to get into heaven, got christianed, etc etc........thus the church got rich.

I personally think, that my belief is inside me. I dont need to go to church for that. My body and mind is my temple, it is my sanctuary. If i have my belief, i dont need anything else. Whatever your god is , its inside you and all around you. Its not in wood, bricks and stone. Its not in 4 walls and a roof. Its inside you.

if i offended any church goers, sorry....but this is what i think. deal with it

im not saying that all churches are like this, some might have a good cause and beleif....but whatever.

but basically throughout history, this was the main reason for creating a church, it was to use society, milk them dry of money, a way to control people using the name of god.

i dont think the name of god(whatever god you believe in) should be used in order to get more money, or to control other people around you for your selfish greedy agendas

I agree. But if you don't spring guilt and mind control on the masses they'll each start inventing their own religions to excuse their stupid behavior. Mind control is better than mindllessnes I guess. But today man is smarter, on certain parts of the planet anyway.

you took the words out of my mouth

[whitelotus]

yes, i agree.

whenever there are humans, there will always be some type of control on others using religion or whatever else there is .

is religion as strong as the law ?

who are we to excuse our actions using 'religion' as the excuse, over the law ?

i killed a cat and spilled its blood, its okay because im satanic, etc etc.

is the law above it, or is religion above the law ?

In some places religion is the law.

Not with you apparently, since one can argue, you yourself are a victim of another kind of mind control. Then again, you are an eggplant.

what i do not unnderstand is why Cilicia is still independent, other than to fill its own pockets up and pay up to the ARF scum? are there any more reasons?

Re: church

I agree with you in almost all the points. Religion became "useless", if we may say that, and used today for controlling the mass (for some countries at least).
Bible says "love", people went to "love" Irak, Afganistan, Koweit, etc... with God approval,. From an abroad point of view, USA's church seems to be very corrupted.

Religion used to be a ciment for society, and this role is now ensured partially (almost totally) by the state. It tends to disapear, but like any entity, is trying to survive.

But one may wonder what the society would be without this kind of faith representatives.

But not you, you are enlightened and know above all. And stop interjecting stupid stuff about eggplants, I guess it is my turn to say something about a mouse. You bore me so.
