“The primitive or under educated are very easy to indoctrinate with stories and beliefs in imaginary gods and spirits.....it's so easy for them to "understand" and they are easily controlled by their teachers.....instil fear in someone and you will control him.... That's why I am always amused when I hear the term, "god fearing man".
I asked many why they fear their god.... The silliest answer I hear is that "fear really means love to them"...lol”


Really good post. Very cogent. “it's so easy for them to "understand" and they are easily controlled by their teachers.”

And “fear really means love to them”.

It surely does. Obviously they have no “love” for this imaginary character. But FEAR! Oh yes!!

Look at any of the other ideologies where the people are scared shitless because of the cruelty and complete lack of normal human constraints represented in their leader. I am looking back at the public display of "LOVE" and "DEVOTION" put out by the "followers" of Kim Jong-il. So Jesus is in great company in ruling by terror and the threats of eternal torture!
