RE: Religion is about control. Thinking for yourself is the only true freedom.
Solid rules to live by. I would add a fourth, if I may. Make the world a better place than it would be without you.
Yeah, there are many contradictions and odd things in Christianity(in other religions too). I remember watching a scene from a series called the Blacklist. A grown man preached in a church among young children about 2 sisters who gave wine to their old father to make him insanely drunk so they could have sex with him to get pregnant. I was like, "Is this some made up cult stuff for the show or is this real?" Quick search, the Holy Bible. "
I am still interested what religious people would say about this. Or what could anyone learn from this or why is this story special and worthy to include. For some reason, they avoid talking about it if I ask.
" I would add a fourth, if I may. Make the world a better place than it would be without you."
Nicely said that's deep!
Well they avoid talking about it cause they have double standards. Simple as that. I remember dating a christian girl once. EVERY religious rule was given to me, but it didn't seem to apply to her. She was toxic.
