So good, and yes people get brainwashed....Its crazy to because actually when reading the bible from a literary position vs literal position you begin to see the hidden esotericism of Truth....In my in depth study and after escaping fundementalism I see that Jesus actually was telling the jewish people that their understanding of God was wrong and the whole jewish mindset was wrong,and they were blind to the true heart of God this is why Jesus was hated by the jews because He taught against institutional religion, He taught that God was within and you didnt need to go to a temple because God is within.....I could get more into detail and will in my post, the fact is the bible has hidden esoteric truths that Constatine in early AD twisted to create a religion that was manipulated for political agenda.....But like you said that doesnt mean God isnt real, when we look into the universe we see God and the beauty of God......Blessings and thank you for sharing and you will never be judged here......Wait until I start talking about DMT and the pineal gland that is so not religious, but is hidden all throughout the bible, even magic mushrooms.....Now I am not necessarily promoting drugs because I suffered from addiction, but I believe the lies against canibas, mushrooms, and ayahuasca have been propogated by religious and govermental leadership to keep humans from different types of enlightenment....
