Is Religion Actually A Scam? by Cashsteady(m): 7:23am On Jan 05, 2022
If a whole nation like isreal can approve same sex marriage.. the nation where everyone thinks Christianity originally came from..



Who are we to believe Christianity is true..




Funny part is most of isrealis are actually athiest..




Another funny thing is that most of athiest countries are actually way developed than the religious countries.. look at China for example like 90% of it's population don't believe in religion and yet it's doing fine.. Nigeria on the other hand is strictly a religious country yet still a shithole..



I'm starting to think our pastor's are nothing but scammers who are just brainwashing gullible Nigerians to secure the bag.

Religion is not a scam in itself but there are so many scammers using religion to scam people. They have discovered that the easiest way to scam people and still not be seen as a criminal is by telling them God said this or that. Who will go and ask God if he said it or not? And Israel has been a secular state for decades. Their decisions has nothing to do with religion.

Christianity, as we know today, is a Roman (Italian) concept.

Jews (those who make up Israel) killed the Founder and pursued his disciples who left for Rome.

When they arrived Rome, they were further persecuted by the Roman emperors they met until one emperor admired the idea of Christianity which was still a startup because of the "resilience and brotherhood" of early Christians.

He adopted it as a State church and enforced it on the rest of Europe and as far as he could.

The only reason we ascribe it to Israel is because of the Old Testament.

Religion, in it's present form is a scam. Because it's been hijacked by "men when sabi" to enrich themselves.
Re: Is Religion Actually A Scam? by Kilotat: 7:40am On Jan 05, 2022
I Actually believe religion is man made. But here is the Cake: "Christianity" is not a religion. The word "CHRISTIANS" is a name that is use to refer to people that followed Jesus Christ from place to place to listen to his Incredible Word (Preaching).
So CHRISTIANITY is a way of Life, a Christ like Life. Remember God Said without faith, it is impossible to please him, So We are followers of Christ through FAITH in God almighty because God Said you can only inherit his kingdom through Christ. Adam did not just appear, he was created by God, so God is real.

Why the sudden zero in on christianity? I thought you were talking of religion in general being a scam? If this is supposed to be an attack on christianity then you just exposed your ignorance of what even obtains in christianity. What did your Bible tell you about all these happenings? The Bible prophesied all these things you are saying so you are rather confirming the authenticity of christianity than disproving it if it's based on all these arguments of yours. But I still wonder how your argument that religion is a scam suddenly turned to an attack on only christianity, you need to explain why you have no problem with other religions but only attack christianity.

Your quote about many americans being atheist is a more modern development. The truth is that historically, America was founded and built on Christian principles. Most of Europe and the US were historically christian nations. They became great and powerful nations while they were very much christian nations. Time changes and so do people, if modern Europe and US is more atheistic, that doesn't change their christian history.

Islam is not a religion but the way of life of Mohammed.

Confucianism is not a religion but the way of life of Confucius.

Buddhism is not a religion but the way of life of Siddhartha Gautama.

You see. If everyone were to follow your logic then "religion" won't be a word.

Most people think TRUTH is costly whereas it's the cheapest anywhere you go.
The problem is that 99% of people who often talk as if they're starving for TRUTH always turn their backs on TRUTH at the slightest opportunity.
That's why i highlighted the part i want to talk about in your thread.
Now the important question is:
ARE YOU YOURSELF PREPARED FOR THE TRUTH?
Note that the TRUTH doesn't attract likes and shares because those giving likes and shares are imperfect humans like you and me so it's whatever appeals to each person as in desire is what they like or share not what is true!
Jesus is the WAY, the TRUTH and the LIFE! John 14:6
But scammers (Satan's agents) are everywhere using Jesus' name to extort money from foolish people. Matthew 7:21-23; 24:11 compare to 2Timothy 3:13

Please keep your Bible aside and let's reason with our God's given brains, because i can prove to you that Christianity is just the group name some people in Antioch gave the one and only PURE WORSHIP on planet earth. Act 11:26

Please feel free to ask any question that comes to your mind regarding CHRISTIANITY!

GOOD MORNING! smiley

The Bible already proves that the children of Israel were despisers and Haters of God (exactly like you and the world) with the difference being that God would not cancel His Contract with Israel, their father.

Clearly the whole earth was full of evil again with destruction coming, again but God wanted man to escape the destruction.

Those who want destruction like you and the children of Israel, already have it and shall get it.

Incoherent logics wrapped in fallacious words.

You have an intent and then try to drive a different narrative into achieving your aim by using false sentiment and poor understanding of issues as your basis.

Nothing stop you from being bold to say your mind than try to use another nation's decision as bias.

Be bold.

Yes.

My favorite part of the scam is the Bible. Christians quote the book, call it the word of god, and hilariously act as if it some sacred gift from their god.
I just wonder how their god didn’t see it fit for his people to read widely until the printing press was invented and literacy increased from the 16th century onwards.

Same goes for the Arabs and their animalistic nonsense, the Hindus with the castes, and every other jackass claiming revelation from some shit called gods.

Very true. Not surprisingly, most never question how a jewish god ended up with Italian mouthpieces or how the “vicar on earth” of a jewish god has mostly been Italian or some other European. Truth is, the Europeans by way of the Romans hijacked the Jewish god and made it into a supernatural white man. Don’t believe me, just look at the roof of their Sistine chapel and try to argue otherwise. Look at all the imagery they use. Look at their history and who they referred to as the “enemies of Christ” in their Dum Diversas.

Plantiff:

Jews (those who make up Israel) killed the Founder and pursued his disciples who left for Rome.

Jews did not kill anyone. The Jews killed Jesus thing is just antisemitism of the Romans and later Europeans. The scriptures were doctored to make Jews the antagonists because the Romans were in a struggle with Jews over Roman Hegemony.

Plantiff:

When they arrived Rome, they were further persecuted by the Roman emperors they met until one emperor admired the idea of Christianity which was still a startup because of the "resilience and brotherhood" of early Christians.

They never went to Rome and Christianity did not start in Rome. Modern day Turkey is where the religion was ironed out. It didn’t get to Rome until later and “Peter the first pope” is a lie spread by the Roman Catholics. Constantine did not admire them because of “resilience and brotherhood”. He adopted it because his mother referred him to a christian priest called Sylvester in order to get absolution for his moral deviancy. Constantine went to this Christian priest named Sylvester after being rejected by his regular pagan priest by the name of Sopater, who basically inferred that Constantine was too morally corrupt for absolution. Talking about Constantine’s mother, she was good at finding things. In order to solidify the new state religion, they decided to create holy sites for the ignorant rabble to visit. So Constantine’s mother “found” the empty tomb, the true cross, and also selected the village that became Nazareth.

Plantiff:

He adopted it as a State church and enforced it on the rest of Europe and as far as he could.

The evolution of Christianity and spread in Europe was not accomplished by one emperor or pope. It was spread and changed over time. While Constantine made them the state religion in the early 4th century, they didn’t attain significant power until they got Theodosius to ban other pagan religions in 380. The christians then went on a rapine and murderous spree over the properties of the other pagan cults.

Plantiff:

The only reason we ascribed to Israel is became of the Old Testament.

The only reason the Romans saw it fit to adopt the Old Testament is to support the new. Eclectic Jewish philosophers, including Paul, created those New Testament scriptures and the incarnation of the Sun God (Jesus) is based on certain ideas in the Old Testament.
