So is it all a LIE??

[GreenSNAKE]

is it all a lie did someone come up with religions to keep man good and not his natural greedy self. did someone just come up wit the bigest scam created. why is religion so important other than directing us to honesty. why is there a channel on Tv promoting GOD. why are we always straightened by a threat like "hell". all i ask is for someone to tell me if any of thi is true or just a like.

If it is a lie, it was never a conscious one.

[GreenSNAKE]

i think it was all planned. how about you guys?

[sumfuktupkid]

planned by who? some ancient government?

[L3d3ni]

It's whatever you want it to be.

[GreenSNAKE]

well can someone fucking explain what the hell this is all about.

[Jesus]

Religion was the first science, back in primitive societies it was easier to say god(s) created everything then to say they didn't know how everything was created. Of course some people will do anything to get control over other people (to make them act the way that they feel they should), so they use religion to make people do what they want. Thats why there is "hell". Its a fictional punishment for nonbelievers and "sinners". The bible was a collection of stories to tell people how to act towards each other,and to explain how the earth and life was created. But it is now 2000 years out of date and yet people still refuse to let it go... so sad.

Way to go, Jesus! (Never thought I'd be posting THAT!)

If I were God, I'd be a trifle miffed over all the lies written about me in the Bible. Then again, God doesn't get miffed--part of godhood and all.

But that "I am a jealous god" stuff--gimme a break. Why not just have him say "I am a petty, vindictive, small-minded chickenshit god" and be done with it.
