Sounds Like to me If it was up to Brainsmash, Christianity would be ended.
the explaination of the catholic church comment, they are humans interpreting the bible in their religion, right or wrong. this means their is human influence at play, including politics and infiltrators.
Their is a fine line between secularism and religion these days.... you make that abudantly clear, why don't you use dante's poem about hell next time or the kitchen sink......  |
I have no desire to see the end of Christianity....in due time it will fall by the wayside like the hundreds of beliefs that came before, and it's certainly better than faiths which condone jihad or virginal sacrifices. Never the less, it's still not any different than any other method of controlling the population through fear of consequences...basically terrorism.
I'd simply settle for an admission that your religion is based on faith alone. You believe because you want to believe, not because there are indisputable facts supporting your opinion.
As far as your "explanation" it's
always been human interpretation. Even "divinely inspired" authors are still mere human beings interpreting a message they believe came from a higher power.
You're very close to what I'm leading you too, but some of you just refuse to see it.
