Don't you see the logic? Those who call themselves followers of Christ sow evil on Earth, but that doesn't mean that Christ = evil. Those who call themselves followers of Satan sow evil on Earth, so why is the Antichrist = evil???
By the way, there are far fewer Satanists than Christians.
Why would anyone do that??? No matter what you call God, He won't become less of a God. But it turns out that someone invented a force, called it God, and tells everyone else about it. What makes this God better than other Gods that live in people's souls? For some, Satan might even be God, and he might be teaching him good things, and the person becomes purer and better through this faith. Should we force him into the confines of Christian doctrine?
Religion is a tool for manipulating the masses.
Religion is a tool for manipulating the masses. It is used by those who crave power, and the church itself tramples on all of Christ's commandments (although many of them are at least debatable).
Consider everything together. And you haven't remembered a single good deed of the church in 2000 years.
This is if the person wants it, but what if their head is so full of all sorts of dogmas? Maybe a priest means nothing to them?
1. That's just how it seems.
2. Are you sure that all priests adhere to celibacy?
3. And priests don't seem normal to me either. I can't stand looking at our Orthodox priests, from the Patriarch to ordinary ones. Emptiness in their eyes, a dull gaze, an indistinct, dreary speech... br-r-r...
2. I'm not sure, but that's a violation of their duty, see the example with the police.
3. Where did you dig them up? I can't stand looking at ordinary people either... A dull, meaningless gaze, flabby muscles, obesity:D :D :D
It all depends on specific people;)
So it would be better if you read it. I'm saying that you are operating with stereotypes that are widely used in church propaganda.
P.S. Were you on the so-called FOL forum?;) :)
Where do we end up when we save the world?
