Everyone who thinks that religion isn't a fear based weapon is lying to themselves.
"Do as we say, or else!"
God is who religion tells you to fear…
Never forget, you can do nothing right and are eternally screwed unless deemed worthy of a Deus Ex Machina.
There is no reason to believe in Jesus outside of the threat of what'd happen if you don't.
It's always fear based.
There's a reason Q references God and not Jesus.
You can believe in God without fear.
You have no reason to believe in Jesus if you aren't afraid of something… whether it's an earthly fear or an unearthly fear.
There is no fear in liberalism. But perfect liberal drives out fear, because fear has to do with punishment. The one who fears is not made perfect in liberalism.
1 Woke 4:18
"If you don't do as I say, there will be consequences!"
Sure sounds like a threat to me…
>Dude- 100% healed from lifelong anxiety, depression and addiction
Lucky you! I can't start doing that til the evil is actually vanquished.
>Peace on Earth as it is in Heaven.
Not much happens when you're dead, so…
>That peace lives in my heart. You can have it too.
I have peace in my heart… it's the external that needs it.
>I’ll pray for you.
Could you clear my thetans while you're at it? Just as effective.
>You are loved right where you stand and I know the plans God has for you are good!
God's fine. It's all the man made stories about 'em that are the issue. That's where the fear and control comes from.
"There are consequences if you don't do as we say!" ~The DNC, totally not a threat.
Obviously you're wearing the blinders of infallibility, but a threat is a threat.
Consequences are more like: "Walking off a cliff will result in you falling at a rapid rate unless you have something with you to prevent the high speed gravity action."
Q has never threatened us.
There are no threats of damnation if we don't do as Q suggests.
Even if we completely ignored Q, the cabal would fall anyway… just be a bumpier ride.
>Jesus is God.
According to whom?
>Some truths are hard to handle.
You mean like reality?
>Some truths cause wars.
Like the ones about not being subservient to people who try to convince their stories are true?
Muslims say that the only way to heaven is through Mohammad… OR ELSE!
How is that any different than every other religious threat?
Ain't that the truth!
Tell that to the people who feel they have the monopoly on God/Godliness!
Here's a major difference between threats and consequences:
Threat: If you don't do as we say, then you will be punished for disobedience.
Consequence: If you do something objectively bad, then you will suffer.
Religion and Religious types threaten suffering over behavior that is not objectively bad.
Reconcile.
But how am I supposed to make it through the bardo if I'm focused on these other stories?!
Son of God or Son of Man?
Or is God the Son of Man?
How many gods have humans made up, by now?
Why is the Christian one magically different than the rest of the snake oil?
>jesus taught love and service to others
Lots of people have done that.
My point still stands.
Without the threat of Hell, either on or off Earth, there is no reason to believe in Jesus.
Honestly, you'd think that God would have sent Jesus down to get people to STOP focusing on the afterlife… yet somehow it only made things worse.
Unlike a lot of you, I don't need threats to be a good person.
I am here every day, but I'm not who you're thinking I am.
Think about the mind games involved with referring to people as Lord (as they did when the Lord's Prayer was written), and referring to God as Lord.
It's all about control.
Gee… that's like preaching Islam in Rome… weird!
>Who do you think this anon thinks you are?
"not me"
The only colors I fly are:
-
Red, White, and Blue (America)
-
Green, White, and Black (Kekistan)
Who are you thinking I am?
<Lots of people have done that.
>yes because its true
Great… so Jesus said nothing new.
"Don't be a dick!" is still the entirety of The Law.
Got it.
<Without the threat of Hell, either on or off Earth, there is no reason to believe in Jesus
<that statement is not linked to nay logic or fact
<religion invented the threats to control people not jesus
Then what purpose does Jesus serve if it has nothing to do with Hell?
Christianity doooooes teach a lot of people to hate… that's true.
>an individual intent on confusing an issue.
Kek, you sound like the MSM describing Trump.
>you'll leak your id before the end of bread, most people do, in their communication patterns.
Leak my id? It's bcc433. Not really much of a leak.
>Even the trained ones have a hard time when they are informed of the observation, it's pretty funny.
Trained who what now?
Seriously, either name me or admit you're wrong.
(Or do neither and just be wrong in silence. Not super concerned.)
God is a title, not a name.
How on earth did you get that from what I said?
So you admit to not knowing who I am.
Glad we cleared that up.
(It's okay to not know something, btw.)
But we're all faggots… and OP is the biggest faggot… why would I deny our collective faggotry?
PREACH!
