Knowledge is the original sin. Keeping people ignorant is the number one goal of religion.

I know a lot of smart college educated successful men who are still somewhat religious acting but I supspect they are that way more because of tradition rather than because they are truly religious.

I wonder when religious people will finally wake up and realize that it's like believing in Santa clause. Your suppose to grow out of it.

Yes. Even ignorant about their own religion.

Yes religion only sells cruel stupid Atheists buy science and kindness

Your absolutely right. When around religious people they talk behind each other's back. But atheists and pagan groups seem to get along fine.

Well that and making people pay tithe... Just like the orange monster's spiritual adviser.

Sorry Tecolete I spelled your name wrong in a previous post.

So true Tecolet,religion and the church leaders since the inception of christianity have always tried to suppress knowledge as I think that they fear it will lead to people not believing in their fantasy where they become powerful and wealthy.

All it takes is a little common sense to realize that religion makes no sense at all!

Too bad that common sense is uncommon... 🙂

Stupid people are easier to control. It's sad but true. It's also sad that people are under-educated and brainwashed from a very young age to believe in a lot of BS.

That's the modus operandi of any right-wing government as well as religion.
They have gone and turned Huxleys 1984 into their operations handbook..

@Emile I recently read that book for the first time. Yes I know I'm a little late on it but at least I got around to it. The ending of that book terrifies me because it's so true. To be honest that whole book terrifies me. I I am so afraid that's going to come true.
