Who made up religion? [Spirituality & Religion]

@redredred shamans are cursed! Be saved and live!

@Carazaa I don't need your myths and superstitions to live a happy, fulfilling life. I pity those like you who do.

@Carazaa Priests, ministers, rabbis, imams and the rest of those dress-up freaks are all shamans.

What myths and superstitions are those? We don't have myths and superstitions like you do.

@redredred It's a nice gig if you can get it. I think it was L. Ron Hubbard who said if you want to make real money, start your own religion - so he did. I used to live with a couple of Scientologists. If Christianity is a religion, then so is Scientology. It's just newer and not as popular.

I saw a documentary on a recent schism in Scientology, where several "clears" or whatever they call them broke away from the main church, because they disapprove of how its current leader, David Miscavige, is running it. Apparently Miscavige has deviated from Hubbard's original teachings, so these brave souls are conducting auditing sessions on their own. Sound familiar?

LOL! Now you're even denying your own beliefs. You seem to have forgotten about that mythical being you call "yahweh" who is supposed to have made you out of magic mud.

My own posts gives a different account than what you're telling me.

@GodSpeed63 It doesn't matter what you think they show. However much you deceive yourself, everyone else can see the facts for themselves.

Who is everyone else? Please, be specific.

@GodSpeed63 Anyone reading your posts who can understand English.

@Sharon [quote]Anyone reading your posts who can understand English.[/quote]

That's not specific enough. try again.

@GodSpeed63 Obviously you can't understand simple English. That explains a lot. It doesn't matter what you believe anyway, the evidence is there for others to judge for themselves.

@Sharon [quote]Obviously you can't understand simple English. That explains a lot.[/quote]

Snap out of it. You're daydreaming again.

@GodSpeed63 Not at all. As I said, the evidence is there for anyone to see.

@Sharon [quote]Not at all.[/quote]

Whatever. 🙄

@redredred That...

actually makes a lot of sense lmao, I guess those people were just entrepreneurial given that times were bound to be tough. Better to be in a good position than anything else.
