I can understand threatening people a thousand years ago to follow the law or they will go to some terrible place….but now that we are more educated and civilized, how can people still be religious? Christians are the biggest hypocrites I have ever seen. They believe a man walked on water, died….lol…and then came back to life? Are you serious? They believe that Jesus is returning but every time someone says they are Jesus the government either arrests them or kills them. They believe that God gives people cancer…but when someone miraculously cures them of it….they promote them to Saint. So if someone undoes what God did…they get rewarded for it. Moses talked to a burning bush and believed it was God. I would have loved to be there when he walked back into his tent and told his buddies this.

“Hey guys, I just ran into God…and he was a bush…that was on fire!”

“Sure it was Mo….I think you’ve been smokin’ some bush, now take out the trash!”

We try to tell our children that the stuff that they see on tv and in movies is just make believe but at the same time some people teach their children the most unbelievable story ever. If we are going to believe in Heaven and Hell…let’s just say that Peter Pan is real and if children don’t listen to their parents Captain Hook is going to come into their room and kill them with his hook. No, we wouldn’t want to do this because it will scare them…but at the same time it is ok to tell them that if they lie they will go to Hell and their little bodies will burn forever! And what’s worse, they won’t be alone, the Devil with the flames coming out of his eyes will poke them with a pitch fork of all things. I do believe that some people really truly believe that there is a God. I think they can believe this for a few reasons. One, maybe they have lost all hope and this “god” is all they have to turn too. Maybe they are scared of death and want to believe that there has to be something more. Basically, most people believe this because of the brainwashing they were submitted to in Sunday school and Bible Study and even “lessons” at home. Let’s look at the similarities in Church and brain washing camps:

They both:

-use repetition (and sometimes chanting or singing songs)

-try to take up as much of your time with activities and function so that you no longer have a life outside of what they want

-use guilt as a way to get your “devotion” to the cause….or your money

-promise a big reward

-punishment for wrong doing…AKA. Hell

-urge you to believe that any belief other then what they are “pushing” is wrong

If you know someone who has been brainwashed into believing all these ridiculous stories from the Bible are true, it is useless to try to help them. Even after the Greeks, Romans, and Egyptians proved the world was round, the “church” still convinced them it was flat. Sometimes the brain washing is so deep that they have already drowned in it. Just be glad that they are convinced that killing, robbing, or messing with your wife is so wrong that they will burn for eternity if they ever attempt it. What ever makes someone not want to kill me…I’m all for it. Go Jesus!
