Christianity is like a modern prison where you are under surveillance day and night by guards you never see because they use computers and televisions to watch over you, so you don’t have a moment’s privacy. Only with God, he not only watches your every move, he knows your every thought, passes judgement on your every emotion, and like the prison guards, you can’t see him. The beauty of Christianity is that there is no prison. You have been groomed to be your own guard, passing judgement on every breath of air you breath, and Jesus doesn’t exist at all. To protect yourself from the damnation, the nonexistent Jesus threatens you with, you say your prayers, maintain surveillance over yourself and go to church where you drop money into the basket every Sunday. It’s the greatest scam ever invented.
That’s all lies. Religion is complete human opinion. No 1 has God directly talking to and instructing them. The followers listen to the human opinions of the human elders/teachers/ministers of the church about how God wants them the followers to live. And then every individual human follower grows to disagree with a few (at least) of the teachings they were originally given by the human leaders about God’s rules. They all make up their own. What God wants is all human opinion. And everyone has a different one, including in Christianity.
https://youtu.be/NYtdxLJOIkY The Christian Atheist … The first edition of a series on ethics, and what human morality can tell us about God, His nature and existence. We begin by exploring the difference between the non-human and human animals. How is it that human beings alone among nature are capable of ethics? We present a story of human rationality in contrast to the world of nature, as an irruption of something OUTSIDE the natural order of things.
