Why do religious groups always seem to pray on the vunerable? I know its because there more suceptable to the crap they are preaching, but does religion have no ethics! And bloody jehova's witnesses are the worst, they dont just convert, they brain wash. My sister is a highly intelligent woman but because she's been very vunerable lately, and looking for answers they have snaired her into the trap of religion! And to hear her speak about it breaks my heart! She has lost the objectiveness that made her question things in the past. And even tho the bible was written by men claiming it to be the word of god she now believes everything it says, word for word, where in the past she would have questioned the validity of such claptrap. I am not an athiest, i believe whole heartedly that there is something that we can not comprehend which created the universe, but as an intelligent being i also know that if such an entity exists that we would be like ameoba to it and it would have no desire for us to worship it! Would we create a bacteria and then desire it worship us? Of course not because to us it is nothing more than what it is, something we can create in a whim and destroy just as easily! Also the bible preaches that god is all powerful and perfect, yet the same book talks of god killing, god been angry, god needing to be worshipped, gods need for loyalty, god being jealous and envious, god being extremely petty, this is far from a perfect being! Religion was created to control the masses, law and order was a lot easier to inforce if the belief of everlating damnation is drilled into peoples minds! If god really exists why has he not shown him self to us? the world is a far worse place then it ever was, yet i see no great flood, no visit from the messiah! According to religious teachings god loves us all, if that is the case why did he let poor baby P suffer for 2 years and die in pain needlesly? Religion will tell you that the bad in the world is the devil and not god and god is just trying to show satan than when push comes to shove the human race will choose him, oh and he's also punishing us for the sins of Adam and Eve!!! So this so called perfect god is willing to let billions of innocent children suffer and die for an eternity, in order to prove a point! And even tho i made all these points to my sister she still believes god is good and religion is real, when the evidence she presents in the bible proves this not to be true, which can only mean one thing. . . she has been brain washed! I asked her as i have asked all religious people, if someone wrote a book in modern times, and claimed it was the word of god would she believe them! She of course said no, but then immediatly said the bible was different cos it was the word of god! How can an intelligent person be so blinkered unless they are brain washed! Im am deeply concerned for her especially when she tells me she put her last £10 in the collection box because she believed god would provide for her!!! In my humble opinion religion should be banned!! More people have died in the name of religion than for any other reason! The troubles in the world today between muslims and the rest of the world it due to religion! I want my sister back! I want the person who would have seen the holes in the bible, who would have seen how ridiculous the claims of people turning to salt and seas parting are! But now instead i have a sheep who believes everything this religion tells her simply at face value, with no evidence to back up the spurious claims! religion sucks!!!
