This is what’s wrong with religion. If you’ll believe the unbelievable then you clearly can be lied to.
Blind loyalty
Right. Like God has a "chosen people" or that this chunk of dirt here is the "promised land", but not that chunk of dirt.
I was thinking about it this morning. Christianity is such a crock of shit. It might be the best religion in the world but it's still just another religion. Same as Capitalism. It's just another ISM. If Christianity were a fact, or a universal truth, the Chinese, Arab, Indian, Jewish and African countries would all accept it as such. But they don't. That means it's not the truth. It's the lie we tell on this side of the world. And don't tell me there are lots of people in those countries converting to Christianity. That doesn't mean shit. The fact is, if Christianity were the truth, all the Chinese in China and all the Japanese in Japan would be Christians. They are not because the story isn't one that a rational person would buy into. You have to be brainwashed to buy the Christians stories. People in other parts of the world realize Christianity is just another ancient religion from one particular part of the world.
Same way the Chinese didn't buy into the Greek Gods back when the Greeks were making stories up about Zeuss and Hera and Uripidees.
And based on what we are seeing with Christians being conned into voting GOP because of Religion, this is why I attack religion. It's just a lie used to control and manipulate people. It may make those idiots feel better about themselves but that doesn't make it right.
