Sometimes, I feel like religion is a state sponsored control mechanism to control the sheep. Anyone else feel that way?

It has always been that way. Further it is a business that act s as a cult and reduces its members to slaves in their thought process.

I felt like I was being a little too sceptical. Good to hear some confirmation from you all.

Yes, it’s given privileges most organizations lack. In the USA it’s morphed from a personal preference … to a test of patriotism.. And since it’s made-up on the fly, the potential for abuse is constant. Our founding fathers would be appalled ~

I think that's a part of it. Religion benefits the ruling class. Everyone works harder and complains less because a better life awaits.

It's an endless supply of divide and rule fodder too.

Yes, but not necessarily state sponsored. I would actually think that rich people would like religious education for the non-rich. It might make them more pliable.

JudeoChristian religions were born out of political purposes, so it makes sense. It's a political population control tool.

That is actually a historical truth. I would start with the egyptians, or you could trace the linguistic roots of the term god to zeus.

I feel that way and I'm sure many others here do also.

Well, DUH. Of course it is.

I know you've been here a while, but this website has a bit of a learning curve. Here is some information that might be helpful for dating here.

New members are encouraged to earn website points, and help other members get to know them better, by writing an informational profile that includes their hobbies and interests, and answering all the profile questions, since that's the first place many women look when they see a new member.

The website algorithm uses profiles to find member matches, so the more details one includes, the better the match.

Many women prefer to quickly look at a list of hobbies and interests to see if there's a match with a potential dating partner.

In case you didn't know yet, to find members near you, click on the "Meet" button at the top of the page, then on "Members," and enter your preferred search parameters.

Or click on the "About" button at the top of the page to find links to FAQ or the website tutorial.

I think they're dumb enough to actually believe in all of it and still run the show. Its really hard to change a unwilling brainwashed/indoctrinated mind. And most believers are born into it.
