The church does or well did suppress the truth take back in the day for example... with the catholic church and indolences... christianity is a fairly young religon.. about 2000 years old...paganism and alot of others have been around for longer.. so i guess all the people before the year 1 a.d. went to hell LoL since they couldnt have known jesus as their savior.. oh no its a religous thing
Even Hitler knew to control a people you had to control a religon... In the crusades the battles for the holy land innocent lives were lost for Jesus.. whoo hooo...
And constantine .. when rome went all christian and persicuted the pagans rome fell.. did anyone notice that..
as far as the church molding the truth they did..
What do you think of when you think of Satan? I personally when i was a kid atleast thought of a guy with horns.. ya know why..
A greek god.. maybe celtic god pan was a goat man with horns.. the christians came through and said that was SATAN... and it stuck ever since...
And while were on the subject they dont know the exact date jesus was even born... its celebrated on dec 25th in the US... but they dont know.. and Christmas was stolen too... the pagans had a ceremony called Candlemoss... HMM..... gee.... and easter was stolen too... it was originally something like Aester? or something.. not sure but check the books...
The church was the most powerful thing in the world back in the day.. well i mean who would want to burn in hell? People believed every word of it and ate it all up.. Thats when the protestants left and came to the new world.. America... But still today its controlling..
No i am not a christian.. unless you couldnt tell.. I cant believe some religon that i can shoot full of holes.. and every christian that you speak with cant answer questions about the bible.. they say "You gotta have FAITH!!!" and thats all they can muster after i batter them... he he he...
I dont mean to spark a debate i really dont because it doesnt belong here.. this thread doesnt belong here.. its just that everyone was inputting there opinion and until now i have completely avioded this topic.. but then GOD came into it..
Now please dont flame the message board with God loves you... Its just an issue that i speak freely on.. because i dont think its right that people are controlled by the church... The church ... LoL what a joke
