You have to admit, those old fakers were good. They knew how to shock and awe the people to keep them in line.
“For God so loved the world, he gave his only begotten son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.”
No shit? God has a penis? He had a begotten son? Who was baby momma? Oh, wait, it was some gal named Mary, God slipped it to her one night and this was perfectly fine with Joe, her husband, because she told him, “God did it, baby”.
That whoever believes this bullshit will never die. That’s what “everlasting life” is, isn’t it? NO? You have to die first, and then the invisible part of you gets to live forever? Oh, okay.
Back then you could tell people anything and if your robes and beard were impressive enough and you looked them straight in the eye while you lied your ass off, they’d bring you food, give you money and come to hear more of your bullshit that made them feel hope in a harsh and painful world.
Not a lot has changed even with the Internet, only now people want to hear what they’re going to be rewarded with in this life, instead. But that’s easy to do. First, you take away their prosperity, then you flood the country with beggars who will work or steal to survive, they don’t care which, so then wages go down further. You increase inflation, the cost of everything, and decrease supplies. Pretty soon most people are desperate and when the government says to do this or that and things will be better, people will do it. See? The priesthood hasn’t changed, they just call themselves “politicians” now.

Believing will never replace knowing. Beliefs are just opinions and priests are lying parasites. Doctors deserve to be paid for their opinions but priests should be whipped for theirs.
“BELIEVING is the OPPOSITIVE of KNOWING.”
