A religion whose beliefs are enforced by violence is nothing to believe in.
And Christianity, Islam, Judaism we are spread at the point of a spear, sword, gun.
Those caricatures of nuns with rulers is not made up, it is true.
What, about Noah's story, makes sense?
2 of every animal on a boat? Ridiculous.
Christianity like the other monotheistic cults suffers from knowing it is false and the threat that people will realize it. Because, if people stop believing the churches lose their power.
Behind the myths are some valuable teachings but refusing to believe the myths has, over the course of history been a good excuse for execution, torture, excommunication, and a number of punishments.
Why do these religions feel the need to punish doubters?
If the myths were true they could convince the doubters with proof.
But, no, doubters must be punished and made to see the "truth" through punishment.
I realized this when I was 8.
I tried various forms of Christianity, Catholicism, Judaism, Islam.
They all behaved the same.
"Show no doubt."
"Ask no questions."
"Believe, OR ELSE!"
Remember this Christian?
