You know, that is an excellent point.
You must attend church every week, where you are brainwashed with repetition.
You must pay 10% of your income to the church.
If you don't do what the pedophile leaders tell you, you go to hell.
You have "free will" but you don't dare use it lest you anger your fairy tale.
Voltaire once said, “In the beginning God created man in his own image; then man returned the favor.”
Unfortunately, that statement is true of all religions, not just Christianity.
The problem is that TRUTH has been twisted to fit the agendas of those spouting certain "truths." So where does that leave us?
True religion is a spirit thing. And being a spirit thing, it is difficult to analyze.
True religion has to do with living a joyful life, even in pain and suffering, and then to help others... without donating to Vod, btw.
