[QUOTE="RobGMN, post: 8893417, member: 683408"] RELIGION. "God". The big magnet in the sky that billions of people believe created our universe. A universe that they used to think we were the absolute center of. Even to the point of believing our own solar system revolved around us. The billions believe it without any proof whatsoever, with no proof ever being available, and with no possibility of proof ever being available. For example, Christianity is based on the tenant that there can be no proof, that you simply must believe. That's a really convenient way to keep people under control. Put them in fear of a God that they can never be sure exists or doesn't exist, and who may get angry at them for hurting his feelings. It's like telling a child to stay away from the pond because the monster in the water will get him. Instead of the monster in the pond, the adult get a God in the sky who looks down on them and watches everything they do. He knows when they're sleeping, he knows when they're awake, he knows if they've been bad or good… And billions are deluded into believing it. [/QUOTE]
