You know, I was watching something interesting once on the History Channel. In ancient Rome, they had ways of making the uneducated masses think miracles were real, therefore religion was valid. Other places too I'm sure. In ancient Rome, they had a mechanical bird that chirped a certain way to to answer a question yes or no when they dipped it in water. The high priest simply flipped the right switch each time. The statue of the many-breasted Artemis flowed real milk, again from a switch in back. And Constantine basically invented the Catholic religion in 313 AD. And I'm sure you know now, the Dead Sea Scrolls are a forgery. Probably orchestrated the Israeli government, I'm sure, however well-intentioned. "Religion is regarded by the common people as true, by the wise as false, and by the rulers as useful." -Lucius Annaeus Seneca.
Religion is a hoax promoted by academia, so they always have someone to blame. Donald Duck loves religion, money, and spouting complete nonsense, and so does academia. In the west, the tradition goes back 10,000 years, with the invention of dualism, by the infamously corrupt Persian empire. Note that, the popular religions today, all incorporate the same Aristotelian logic, yet they are essentially no different from any other. Mainstream religions all tend to be the same under the skin and, even Taoists who might have thousands of gods, are basically no different from any other religious believers. There's a reason the dictionary is taboo to even mention, and why half the congregations of religions that incorporate formal logic, still claim the sun revolves around the earth, and their teachers blame their religion, while helping to censor half of reality. Militant Atheists created Fundamentalism, and both their populations are imploding faster than anyone else on earth, while they keep recruiting new members. In China today, lifelong avowed atheists are converting to Christianity in record numbers, merely because its a practical way to oppose their own corrupt government, and they would gladly convert right back to atheism, if their government were more communist. In the good-old-days, they built extravagant temples and churches, universities and colleges, to advertise their corruption, but AI are the future, because there never was any intelligent life around here.
Duh...........doesnt even matter if any of it is true or not...........most religions are not that bad(ethics) , just to manipulated/controled........humannature. Romans basicly killed Jesus.......next thing you know they all converted to chrisianity(catholics).............. Mzzls
