It is hard for me to understand why educated and intelligent people allow themselves to be manipulated into a religion without researching and studying the principles of Secularism and Freethought. When one chooses to be indoctrinated into a religion and makes a lifetime commitment to that religion, they have closed the door on freethinking and have become a slave to that religion.
Romans 6:22 - "But now that you have been
set free from sin and have become slaves of God, the benefit you reap leads to
holiness, and the result is eternal life." Hmm, you don't say.
Religion is the embodiment of evil, hate and
bigotry. History holds the facts that will bear that out. Does this mean that
the believers are inherently evil and hateful or are they victims of their own
ignorance? I believe that they are victims of their own ignorance because most
of the believers are good people with good intentions and have been misguided
by the religionists and zealots of their religion.
