Religion. A Litany Of Lies And Deceit

Religion is a self-serving, self-righteous establishment with the sole purpose of giving those in power even more power. While at the same time enslaving the masses to a doctrine that would not withstand even a cursory scrutiny by any sane intelligent person.

This is accomplished by employing a medium that is based in fear, guilt and shame. If this fails, torture may be used if allowed by the church.

This is offset by offering a slight chance of redemption and salvation at the end of one’s life, providing the rules as set down by the church hierarchies are followed without question.

The vast majority of people are indoctrinated into religion as helpless infants that stood no chance a life time of religious brain washing that they were about to be exposed to.

Religion has caused many to be slaughtered in warfare, it has broken up homes when one spouse would not bow to the other spouse’s religion. It has adversely effected young children. Indeed! Even today many young children in orphanages world-wide still fall victims of ill-treatment and raped by some of those pious monsters that like to portray themselves as the keepers of morality and virtue.

Any sane thinking person could only see regimes such as these as these as only deserving contempt, disgust and ridicule. While retaining a feeling of pity for those innocents that have been duped by a litany or lies and deceit.

The Credibility Of Religious Dogma

To debate religious dogma is akin to debating whether fairies exist at the bottom of the garden or not.
Debate would lend both a legitimacy that neither deserves or warrants. Both being full of myths and fables and could never withstand the test of credibility or sanity.

You only need to look around you for proof of God’s existence I hear you say? Well! I am sorry to have to
dissolution you, but everything in existence was made by the pink, blue spotted unicorn God that I worship. My challenge to you is to prove that your fictitious supernatural God made everything and my pink, blue spotted unicorn God did not.

Oh yes! One more thing. Do not attempt to use the bible to verify your claims as that would be a circular
argument. Just like saying ‘The bible is true, because the bible tells me it is true’. See what I mean? The bible is here say and would never withstand a test of credibility, or stand up in a court of law.

Merely claiming a thing is true, does not actually make it true. No matter how long people have been saying
it.

One last thing. I have heard (true or not a cannot say) that they have now printed a new edition of the bible that only has blank pages. This is to be called the non-fictional bible.
