If I tried to sell soap powder by claiming that it gave you “everlasting life”, I’d probably be prosecuted under the Trades Description Act or something. But religions are allowed to sell their products, complete with outlandish claims, without any scrutiny. They should be held to account. 🤔

Humans are social, communal creatures. So I don’t understand how they have “demonised” the words “socialism” and “communism”..🤔 Also, there are no invisible sky-goblins. Fact.

He’s been bankrupted 6 times I think. Twice, while owning casinos. It’s like letting the person who has crashed the car, the last six times they drove, drive you home, in your car. What did people think would happen? 🤷🏻♂️

You can’t suppress the truth for long. Truth always “leaks out”. Truth is the “quiescent state”, and all deviations from it require sustained effort. Truth always finds a way out.
In the same way that plants can grow through concrete.

For some reason, your post made me think of this, which would actually only make the problem worse. 🤷🏻♂️

Religion is not losing popularity because it’s becoming “established”, it’s losing simply because it’s not true.
Myths about invisible sky-pixies are not a good basis for societies or morality.
Let’s just stick to what is verified, and tested, and known to be true. Ditch the myths. 🤷🏻♂️

Their greatest trick was in convincing millions of people that you can ONLY be a good person, IF you believe in this.
The funny thing is, ALL religions do this. They all disagree with each other, and there are about 10,000 different religions. 🤷🏻♂️

Claiming to be “god’s spokesman” has been, and still is ve-ry profitable. The leaders of “evangelical Christians” are minted. Religions prey (npi) on the gullible, the vulnerable, and the broken. Say the magic words, and ka-ching! Not to mention the social elevation, and access to children. =Scam.🤷🏻♂️

Tbf they do surround their myths with contrived-to-inspire-awe, awe-inspiring architecture, and the most expensive and excellent art and symbolism. Lots of “props”. It’s a form of hypnotism.
- You can get the same feeling standing at the Grand Canyon, or Beckley or Elsfield Hills (in my case). 🤷🏻♂️

He’s spent his whole life surrounded by sycophants and tacky-embellishments salesmen, telling him he has “great taste”, “like nobody’s ever seen before”.
He chooses to believe them. 🤦🏻♂️
