Mathematically impossible.
>"they" control you with Religion.
>Yes, "they" also mock you for your belief
Yes. One doesn't exclude the other…
Also, are you sure "they" are the same intity in your example?
>Pick one.
No.
Ffffffuck. Can you forgive me grammar cat?
>it doesnt make sense to create a religion and then mock it and do everything you can to turn people away from it.
Who created the religion?
Who is mocking you?
Is that the same entity?
You are conflating things and making assumptions.
And yes, even if it is the same entity it makes perfect sense. Confused and scared people are easy to control.
They created religion to control you. They sow doubt in their religion to create despair and confusion within you, compounding their ability to control.
Like giving a kid a lollipop only to take it away after a single lick. The kid would be fine if they never got the lollipop, but now that they had it taking it away from them creates despair and confusion.
