We have been brainwashed to accept the bible as the only truth and inspired word of God. This book came into being in time of Roman empire as a means of controlling the Pharisees who were opposed to the Roman slavery. They destroyed all literature they could find, burned the library at Alexander, made the book a state religion and banned any other. Of course as the Roman empire spread thru Europe so did their religion. Anyone denying or teaching otherwise was put to death. Anyone who dares to research history will find the bible is copied from the "Egyptian Book of Dead," and the "Delphi Oracles." There was a Christ in the book of the dead who raised a Lazareth and every important "miracle" Limiting truth to the content of a book depicting God as rewarding evil acts such as recorded in old testament. There is no way I would offer my daughter to be raped to keep my employees from this. Hitler was a descendant of the Romans and killing the jews was the continuing battle of this getting even. I will not argue this point because the Christians aren't interested in truth except as they have been told. If anyone is interested I can refer you to free books by historians you can download from the internet. Real "truth" does not care to be questioned. I don't expect anyone to accept anything except their own beliefs formed by their own experience and judgment. Judgment is very limited without all facts and limiting to the false Historical Christ who was no more son of God than you & me. A book, "Who is This King of Glory, can be found by internet search. It will explain in full the origin of religion. Those not willing to look for this proof need not bother to answer. I promote no church, sect, cult, or any organization. Dare to read works of Einstein, Thos.Payne, Albert Schweitzer, and the multitude of scholars who have written on this subject. Peace my brothers, this is only for interested people.
