Religion gone wrong.

[Andre]

CFH religion has done right in some cases, it's just easier to point out the bad because those are more memorable.

A couple good things about Christianity (which I think even you will appreciate)
#1 In the begining stages of Christianity the key members of the religion were slaves & women. Christianity was the first religion to offer such upward mobility to those classes and all because in Christianity it was cheaper to be baptized (they used and still use water, the Magna Mater cult put you in a pit, covered it with a grate and sacrificed a bull which the baptizee bought over the top of the grate drenching that person in blood...water = clean and cheap and bull = expensive and messy)

#2 During the several famines and plagues Europe (and the rest of the world) suffered through during the middle ages only the Priests, Monks, Nuns, et al would aid, feed, tend to and bury the ill and dead (it doesn't sound like much but it was a HUGE deal). And right now organized religion (even as much as I do not appreciate it) is helping feed and shelter the less fortunant.

I tend to share Joseph Campbell's view on religion.

Yeah, Islam and christianity used to do a few good things... but then again, if we weight it with the Crusades, the Cathars' massacre, the inquisition, the modern era super intolerance.... I would say that their good things is largely outweight by the good things it did. Not that I am for its complete and uttermost abolition but let's keep a deep eye on it and let's not throw it too many flowers for its achievements.

Well put.

I agree.

There are two kinds of spirits in human form and that mixture is to be found even throughout religions.

Some seek power in order to steal others time and energy away from them through control and through fear which are not of the higher dimensions.

Others give freely of their time and their energy because their source of energy is the unfathomable one.

You cannot serve two masters.

And still, I am certain it is also almost un-manageable to serve 2 mistresses

Religion gone wrong?

When A stash of money & checks was discovered behind a bathroom wall by a plumber working at the megachurch of televangelist Joel Osteen in Houston, Texas.

I'd say that is an example of religion gone wrong.

The next example will be the silence of those who attend.
The other pimping preachers who will also remain silent.
The Right wing political machine that ignores the rape of the catholics as youth will surely maintain their silence on why a supposed man of God has checks -not in the church vault, but inside his walls.

Houston police never solved the 2014 crime, in which the megachurch said a whopping $600,000 had gone missing from the safe.

Haven't seen too many rightwing pages discussing this.
Newsmax only article on this Olsteen dude was him getting (forgivable) money from the government.
https://www.newsmax.com/newsfront/jo...15/id/1001731/

celebrity pastor Joel Osteen, received a $4.44 million loan under the Paycheck Protection Program in July, the Houston Business Journal reported.

The forgivable loan was originated by Bank of America, according to the U.S. Small Business Administration data, and approved during July-August, the Business Journal reported.


When did God start asking his own to beg for the government as opposed to asking God to deliver unto them?

Osteen had a net worth of about $60 million in 2017,---yet he couldn't afford to pay his staff- so they went to Pharoah.

Instead of Newsmax informing their readers on this -I (money) was lost, but now Im found in the walls of where Joe booboos at.....here is what they want their viewers to know on this Dec 3rd: Biden and Entire Democratic Party Declare ‘War on Christianity’


That is sick. When a supposed newscast is reporting the entire party is declaring a war. On their religion.
when one watches the vid- this chick goes on a BLM tip- apparently Joe is Pro BLM...and that they say....get your money out of white banks, ok....what does that have to do with the TOPIC? 3 topics in 52 seconds? What is the point? Hate black hate Joe...cause they hate white banks -so they must hate God?

Newsmax chick starts talking about xmas decorations looks more like a carnival cruise...all this in 52 seconds.
As far as FIX aka FOX? Same stuff...one can find local stations like FOX news 19 in Texas...but the entire nation doesn't need to know.
