Most all religion starts out with the same high ideals.
Faith in God " a power greater than the self "
Love of you fellow people, tolerance and understanding and working together for a better life but then the penalties come into play..
The "or else" and that's where they all come apart at the seems..
Not just because it's hypocritical but because someone has to guide us through the process of faith and the guides have power to decide who is faithful and who is not..
Power corrupts, universally and completely and every religion on earth has been corrupted by man..
No God of love could condemn his children.
No God of love would command his faithful to kill unbelievers..
No God of love would use fear to inspire faith..
That leaves a few possibilities.
1, the word of God has been destroyed by men for control of men.
2, God is not all knowing and all loving
3, God as we're led to believe in him, doesn't exist.
4, we've completely misunderstood the concept of God and his purpose in our lives.
